As the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) wraps up this week in Shanghai, one booth is generating buzz far beyond trade talks.
Ever heard of Saudi Land? It’s a vibrant showcase by the Saudi Tourism Authority running from Nov. 8 – 15, and it turns heads with its immersive Arabian vibes. From traditional music and desert-style decor to mouthwatering samplings of Arabic coffee and dates, visitors from the Chinese mainland are getting a taste of Saudi magic. 🌟
CGTN's reporter Xu Yi noted that interactive virtual reality tours of historic sites like Al Ula's ancient rock formations and futuristic NEOM city concepts have drawn long lines. Attendees can also explore new travel packages and streamlined visa options designed to make visiting Saudi Arabia a breeze.
With an eye on boosting arrivals from the Chinese mainland, the Saudi Tourism Authority is using this hands-on approach to spark wanderlust and build cultural connections. The goal? To welcome more travelers from the Chinese mainland in the years ahead.
There are only a few days left before Saudi Land closes on Nov. 15. If you’re in Shanghai, seize the chance to dive into this Arabian adventure—who knows, you might just book your next trip under the desert sun! 🌞✈️
