Visitors from Arab countries such as Kuwait, Egypt, and Yemen are full of praise for the Chinese foods. Abdul Majed, a Kuwaiti resident, told Xinhua that the Chinese green tea impressed him with its flavor.
"This is the first time I have tasted the Chinese food. I think the Chinese food is very healthy and I like it very much," he said.
The Chinese flag and panda pendants are also popular among visitors, some of whom waved the Chinese flag to take photos in front of the Chinese booth.
