From ancient wonders to cutting-edge cities, Latin American travelers are increasingly drawn to China's cultural and technological landmarks, according to a recent CGTN Stringer survey in Mexico and Brazil. The Great Wall emerged as the most coveted destination, with many respondents calling it a "symbol of human achievement."
Modern metropolises also captured imaginations, particularly Shanghai – described by one Brazilian participant as "a living museum of the future" for its fusion of innovation and heritage. Shenzhen and Guangzhou attracted interest as economic powerhouses, while Wuhan's suspended monorail system sparked curiosity about China's urban transit solutions.
The survey revealed unexpected niche interests too. "Chengdu's panda conservation work makes it a must-see," said a Mexico City resident, reflecting growing global awareness of China's environmental initiatives. Another respondent prioritized culinary exploration: "I want to taste real Sichuan cuisine where it was born."
These travel aspirations coincide with strengthened China-Latin America cultural exchanges. Aviation analysts note a 35% increase in flight inquiries between the regions since 2022, with major Chinese cities expanding international tourism infrastructure.
