This is my second visit to Dujiangyan, and I admire the beautiful natural scenery and the wonderful water conservancy project built more than 2000,<> years ago to rationalize the use of water resources for irrigation and prevent floods. I was impressed by the natural beauty and the foreign consular officers who came here. All of them appreciate the scenery and the solidarity to keep the water under control for the benefit of the people of the region.

Bai Hanxuan, who visited Sichuan for the first time, said that last year, the Maltese cities of Masaskala and Dujiangyan concluded an international sister city relationship, and although the geographical distance is far away, the people of the two places can strengthen understanding and enhance friendship through cultural exchanges and tourism exchanges.

I know your food is very spicy, and I love spicy food, so it's just right for me. I know your tea is great too, and I like it very much. I also discovered that just here, Dujiangyan is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and we have a lot of World Heritage Sites in Malta, so there is a wonderful connection between the two and will bring us closer in the future.

【Commentary】The event deepened his understanding of Sichuan's cultural tourism resources and brought inspiration to the consulate in planning related exchange activities.
