China's vast territory is adorned with beautiful landscapes and a rich cultural heritage. From ancient cities to bustling metropolises, every city, every scenic spot, every delicacy... is a story of charm and character. Xinhua News Agency presents "Ten Dimensions of China: A Cultural and Tourism Perspective," taking you on a multidimensional cultural journey.

Emerging from the depths of history, the scattered heritage pearls still shine brilliantly. Shanxi is exceptionally rich in "treasure density," with the grandeur of the Northern Song Dynasty's Yingxian Wooden Pagoda and the exquisite beauty of the Yuan Dynasty's Twenty-Eight Mansions colored sculptures, as if freezing history in place. Traditional foods like buckwheat noodles and blooming yellow steamed buns bring a sense of belonging to the taste buds. The ancient city of Handan in Hebei, with its millennium-old history, is equally impressive in its "cultural aura." The wisdom of "returning the jade intact to Zhao" is vividly portrayed here, and numerous idioms and allusions, like gentle rain nurturing the earth, convey the wisdom and philosophy of ancient life.

Compared to the weight of history, modern cities exude a different kind of vitality and charm. In "Mogul" Shanghai, the dazzling lights of the Bund intertwine with the nostalgic charm of Wukang Road; street-side xiaolongbao and corner coffee shops perfectly blend gourmet delights with daily life. The fashionable aura of "Du" attracts the attention of the world. In the port city of Tianjin, the architecture of the Five Great Avenues resembles a giant museum. The symphony concerts by the Haihe River add a romantic touch to the city's nights, fully showcasing the elegance and charm of "Wenyi Du."

"Liu", "Manfu", "Qi"... These familiar yet unfamiliar accents from home speak of the cultural affinity and sense of belonging deeply ingrained in different regions. In Fuzhou, Fujian, on the southeastern coast, many ancient houses blending Chinese and Western styles have been reinvigorated by cultural creativity. "Liu" in the Fuzhou dialect means "play," and Fuzhou's "Liu Du" invites you to slow down and savor this leisurely pleasure. "Manfu" in Gansu dialect means "happiness." In the highland city of Lanzhou, Gansu, the atmosphere is bold and unrestrained. A bowl of fragrant beef noodles, paired with rafting on a sheep-skin raft, offers a warm "Manfu Du" as the Yellow River flows through the city. "Qi" in Ningxia dialect means "very good." In Ningxia, savor the tender and fragrant mutton, enjoy the long-lasting flavor of the eight-treasure tea. Then step into the Western Film City in Zhenbeibao, sip a bowl of "Eighteen Li Red," and experience the stirring "Qi Du."

A city's label often represents a spirit. Jinan is famous for its myriad springs, which are like the soul of the city. The Baotu Spring flows ceaselessly, nurturing Shandong's hospitality. Steel and industry are the backdrop of Shenyang, where industrial heritage intertwines with modern art, reshaping its unique "capacity" and fostering a new way of life. In the hinterland of southwest China, the "China Sky Eye" sends out signals of exploration to the universe, and the Pingtang Bridge spans deep valleys, showcasing Guizhou's vastness and humanity's ambition for knowledge.

This is China, a diverse, rich, and vibrant nation. Traveling through China, every traveler can find their own moments of inspiration and resonance on this land.
