Unique blend of cultures

Canada's second-largest province by area, Quebec is a popular travel destination thanks to its French heritage. Xu Lin reports.

For tourist Zhang Jin, 33, the most impressive part of her trip to the Canadian province of Quebec is the local residents. "They are hospitable and proud of Quebec's history. When we were taking photos on the street, passers-by would often come and give us travel tips that you can't find in books," says Zhang, who visited the province with her friend last October. Zhang is the co-founder of Daydow Info & Tech Ltd Co, a new media company in Guangzhou, in Guangdong province.

"I liked chatting with them. They were like ambassadors for Quebec. The tour guides said they wanted tourists to fall in love with Quebec and return."
