Editor's Note

Elegantly  dressed in formal attire, there's a group of people, who always  actively engage in important diplomatic and foreign affairs events.  Despite their busy schedule, they take time to explore the vibrant  streets and alleys of Beijing, immersing themselves in the history and  cultural allure of this modern metropolis. Who are they? They are  ambassadors representing over 170 countries across Asia, Europe, Africa,  North America, South America and Oceania, in China.

Curious  about their impressions of Beijing? Which popular tourist attractions  have they visited, and what cuisines do they like? Do they prefer  unwinding at a cafe in Sanlitun, cycling along the riverbanks, or taking  leisurely strolls after work? Moreover, what messages do they wish to  convey to the people of Beijing?

In  this edition of “Beijing in the Eyes of Ambassadors”, a series created  by Beijing Foreign Affairs Office in partnership with Beijing Daily and  Beijing Radio & Television Station, we take you to the Embassy of  Bolivia, and meet with H.E. Ambassador Hugo Siles for his stories about  Beijing. He says, "Beijing is a wonderful city, it greets me with warm  friendship, hospitality, and love."
