In Luocheng, the delegation toured the Mulam ethnic cultural village. They watched traditional Mulam folk shows and sampled local fares like sour bamboo shoots and preserved pork, getting first-hand experience of the ethnic group's unique culture.

Next, they headed to Bama, a globally renowned "longevity town". The delegation visited Bama's longevity villages, chatted with local seniors, and learned about the area's pristine environment, clean water and fresh air, which fuel its reputation for long lifespans.

This visit marks a key step in Hechi's international tourism promotion. As more foreign travel trade groups explore the city, Hechi's global appeal continues to grow, laying a solid foundation for deeper tourism cooperation with overseas markets.
