Jimei, Xiamen hosted last Friday China's final round of the Miss Tourism World competition. A total of 22 contestants competed in various events, including cheongsam, bikini and evening dress displays. Yu Wang, a first-year student from the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, claimed the crown.
Miss Tourism World debuted in 1968 in Houston and is now contested in a dozen countries, including Australia, Brazil and Canada. The district of Jimei joined Xiamen's tourism bureau in organizing the event, which was a part of the Cross-Strait Tourism Fair. Event sponsors donated 45,000 yuan to charities that provide support to underprivileged households and children in Jimei.
China has launched a new pilot program to allow eligible enterprises greater access to overseas financing in support of green and low-carbon transformation projects, the country's foreign exchange regulator said on Aug 21.
To further streamline the experience, China is expanding tax refund stores, broadening the range of refundable goods, and refining refund procedures, ensuring an efficient and seamless shopping experience for global visitors.
