Bucharest, the capital and largest city of Romania, is located in the middle of the Danube River Plain in the southeast of the country and is a political, economic and cultural center. The historic city is a blend of Orthodox, Byzantine and French flavors, and was once known as "Little Paris". The old town has preserved medieval buildings and Orthodox churches, while the iconic Palace of the Parliament (now the Palais des Congrès), the world's second-largest administrative building, is an imposing sight. As the economic hub of Romania, Bucharest has a vibrant and diverse mix of industrial, technological and service companies, as well as universities and cultural institutions.
Located in the south of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China, Beihai City is an important port city and tourist destination along the Beibu Gulf Coast. As one of the starting ports of the ancient "Maritime Silk Road", Beihai has a long history and rich cultural heritage. The city is famous for its natural attractions such as the Silver Beach and Weizhou Island, and has a warm and humid climate, making it suitable for year-round tourism.
Beihai's economy is dominated by tourism, marine industry and processing manufacturing, and it is the core city of the Beibu Gulf Economic Zone in Guangxi. Conveniently located, it has Beihai Fucheng Airport and several highways connecting it to major cities in China.
