Emilia Jubileu Moiane, director of the Information Office of Mozambique, together with six Mozambican media officials, started their weeklong visit in China on Sunday to deepen communication with Chinese media officials and agricultural practitioners.

During its stay in Harbin, the delegation visited Harbin's Wanda Cultural and Tourism Town, agricultural company Beidahuang Group's Beidahuang Musuem, Xiangfang Experimental Farm and Jiusan Group, Heilongjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Heilongjiang Press Group.

In Wanda Cultural and Tourism Town, a tourist destination, they visited the world's largest indoor ski resort, which covers an area of 6,000 square meters and is a never-melting ice house open all year round.

"Such a project can promote winter sports in China, especially as Beijing is preparing for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games," said Moiane, "and it is a good way to promote culture, tourism and expand employment."

"In my country there is a lot of space and it can be used to construct such similar projects," she added.

During the visit to Beidahuang Group, they got to know that in Heilongjiang, the modern machinery has changed the agricultural situation completely, developing higher-quality food, improving farmers' lives and allowing them to deal with natural disasters.

They were also attracted by the soilless culture and greenhouses planting various unique fruits and vegetables, such as giant pumpkin and trichosanthes anguina in Xiangfang Experimental Farm where tourists can both watch and pick the fruit and vegetable after paying.

"Mozambique is an agricultural country. It is rich in land resources but deficient in technology," said Moiane, "for example, green houses are only showed on experimental fields and has not been broadly promoted."

"In addition, it is quite an entirely new form to combine agriculture and tourism," she said, "I will introduce what I see to the relevant departments of our government and hope to achieve more deepened communication and cooperation between the two countries."
