An unveiling ceremony for China International Culture Communication Base for Overseas Chinese was held in Pingyao county on Jan 23.

The Ancient City of Pingyao, a major tourist attraction with a history dating back over 2,700 years in Shanxi, is a UNESCO World heritage site and national 5A-level tourist attraction.

In September 2017, the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese recognized the Ancient City of Pingyao as China International Culture Communication Base for Overseas Chinese.

The base is an important platform for the federation to integrate social resources and conduct cultural communications at home and abroad, playing a vital role in promoting Chinese traditional culture.

The honor is recognition of the cultural and historic value of Pingyao and provides Shanxi with a window to showcase Chinese traditions overseas, said Yang Dingwang, vice-chairman of Jinzhong Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.

Wu Xiaohua, Party secretary of Pingyao county, expressed her view that Pingyao will expand the influence of the base in three aspects, namely raising the level of cultural communication, improving services for overseas Chinese, and enhancing the global profile of Pingyao.
