The Wuzhishan City Li and Miao Children's Chorus from China's southern Hainan Province visited the headquarters of the China Media Group (CMG) in Beijing after a successful tour in France.
At the headquarters, the chorus members, who wore traditional dress from their Li and Miao ethnic groups, were given a tour of the newsrooms and studios of the country's largest broadcaster.
"I feel very happy; it feels magnificent. It's my first time coming to such a tall building," said a member of the Chorus.
The Chorus flew to France earlier this month and performed at multiple events. During their trip, the young members got to meet children of their age in France.
"They asked us – what's your favorite food? What's your name? What's the most interesting thing you've ever done?" said a member of the Chorus.
With this year marking the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France, as well as the China-France Year of Cultural Tourism, cross-border interactions like this have further strengthened people-to-people exchanges and celebrated global cultural diversity.
"We went there as friendly ambassadors for the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and France. We not only experienced French civilization, but also gave France a taste of Chinese culture," said Liu Min, conductor of the Wuzhishan City Li and Miao Children's Chorus.
