Guangxi show at UN headquarters wins acclaim

NEW YORK - Picturesque rivers and mountains. Silver beaches. An open-air banquet staged by ethnic groups in traditional attire. A smiling old lady sitting in the doorway of her home in a "longevity village".

These are just a few of the dozens of pictures exhibited at a recent tourism show promoting the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region at the United Nations' headquarters in New York.

"They are so beautiful. I've been to China a few times but mostly stayed in the big cities. I would like to go to Guangxi someday to see the scenery in person," Caroline Bergonzi, a Monacan artist who visited the show, says.
