On November 6, 2026, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng said in his remarks at the Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony of the Arthur M. Blank Panda Grove at Zoo Atlanta that as the homeland of giant pandas, China always keeps its doors open. We warmly welcome more American friends to travel to China, to witness our environmental protection efforts among green mountains and rivers, taste the delicious Chinese cuisine, and feel the hospitality of the Chinese people. Today, from “China Travel” to “China Cool” and to “China Haul”, our dynamic country is attracting more and more tourists from around the world. Ambassador Xie encouraged more Americans to embark on a journey to China, see a real China through their firsthand experience, deepen mutual understanding through exchanges, and build trust through reaching out to each other, so as to write more beautiful stories of friendship between Chinese and American peoples.
