The Armenian Cultural Days kicked off at the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall in Beijing on October 2. Exhibitions aimed at getting to know Armenian culture will be held in various cities of China in 2025. 

The event was organized by the Armenian-Chinese Partnership Center and the Chinese Great Wall Mutianyu tourism agency, with the support of the Armenian Embassy in China. 

Armenia's consul to China, Misak Balayan, also attended the opening ceremony.

During the opening, Armenian songs and music, as well as traditional Armenian costumes were presented to the guests and tourists.

This is the first time that Armenian culture has been presented in the area of the Great Wall of China where more than 50,000 tourist visits were made every day as China celebrated its National Day, the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Tourists were offered the opportunity to get familiarized with Armenian culture, art, and tourist attractions in a closed spacious pavilion.

The pavilion presented the works of Armenian painters as well as Armenian souvenirs, samples of carpet art, Armenian tourism and wine-making companies, and Armenian products.
