Hua Zhimin, secretary of the CPC Guyuan Municipal Committee, remarked that the visit was not only a journey of friendship and shared development, but also an opportunity to promote the region and deepen cooperation, laying the groundwork for mutually beneficial partnerships in the future.

In recent years, Guyuan's high-quality agricultural and specialty products have entered the Shenzhen market and reached dining tables across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, becoming a meaningful link between the two regions.

With an average summer temperature of 18 C and a highly livable climate, Guyuan is a true "green oxygen bar" and the only prefecture-level city in Northwest China to be designated a UN "Making Nature's City".

Guyuan is also a paradise for food lovers, offering richly colored and nutritious Liupan Mountain beef, crisp and tender cool-climate vegetables, and delicious potatoes — all grown from green, sustainable sources. The region is also home to 13 national geographical indication products, including Zhaona chicken and medicinal herbs.

Longde hot pot, spiced five-flavor lamb head, whole beef feast, crispy beef pancakes, and other time-honored specialty dishes each embody the flavors of local tradition and nostalgia.
