"The Chinese are fond of the Chinese red, which covers the building," China's Ambassador to Hungary Duan Jielong said at the event. "The red color not only represents the culture of China, but also symbolizes the eagerness of Chinese people to develop their country, in unity and it also stands for the harmony and the momentum of our people, as well as the joy of our festivities," he added.

Hailing the EU-China 2018 Tourism Year, Duan said that tourism is not only an important bridge for promoting people-to-people friendship, but also a new industry that drives economic growth. He expressed China's willingness to continuously strengthen tourism cooperation with Hungary.
