Thirteen Arab diplomats in China visited Jiaxing in East China's Zhejiang province on May 27, local media reported.

The first place they visited was the Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial Hall, where they viewed revolutionary relics and precious documents to gain a better understanding of the history of the Communist Party of China.

Following this, they learned about the history of the Red Boat over Nanhu Lake where the first CPC National Congress was convened 100 years ago.

"I was deeply touched by the fact that the Chinese still remember the lake and rush over to admire the Red Boat after 100 years," said a counsellor from the Palestinian Embassy in China while watching the endless streams of tourists in Nanhu Lake scenic area.

He also noted that Jiaxing is a beautiful city with a pleasant natural environment, long history and profound culture and hopes that people from all over the world will travel to Jiaxing to witness the love that the Chinese have for their country.

The diplomats said that the visit will further promote exchange and cooperation between Arab countries and China as well as deepen friendly exchanges and business ties with Jiaxing.
