A New Friendship between Badaling Great Wall and Rideau Canal

These two important architectures can take as symbols of their own countries. The historic connotations, the significant roles in the history and the inside national spirits make them become world cultural heritage sites.

Cooperation relation confirms a win-win situation for both parties. They will share the latest tourism information and offer mutual visits for promoting this friendship. Beijing and Ottawa had been sister cities for ten years, during this time, about 160,000 Chinese tourists visit Canada every year.

In this year, the cultural exchange may become more frequently. Beijing tourism departments will promote featured tourist products in Ottawa, while Canada will bring presentations of Rideau Canal culture to Beijing.
