The year 2024 marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and France, and is also the "China-France Culture and Tourism Year". As important representatives of the Eastern and Western civilizations, China and France have a long history of friendly exchanges. The two civilizations have attracted each other and become a model of exchanges and mutual understanding between the Eastern and Western civilizations. The cultural and artistic exchanges between the two peoples have become a cornerstone of open cooperation. The "International Mountain Tourism Day 2024" Theme Events held in Nice, France, leveraged this opportunity to build a bridge for cooperation between the mountain tourism industries of both countries.
