Mrs. Venus Rincon, spouse of the Ambassador of Venezuela to China,

enjoys boat rides and tea.

My husband and I arrived in China not long ago and while we were taking a stroll we came across people enjoying boat rides and tea. The atmosphere was so inviting and relaxing that I couldn't resist the temptation to join them and savor some tea. Today, my dream has come true. I am absolutely in love with the lifestyle here in the place where we reside.

I have traveled to several countries before, I have fallen deeply in love with China. The greenery, vegetation, and scenery are all so breathtaking that they have left a deep impression on me and I have become a huge fan.

The old tea, on the other hand, has a pure white chocolate flavor due to its vintage, and I would also recommend it if you plan to enjoy a coffee afternoon with a few friends. Good tea is worth recommending.

I like white tea.

Roman, an International student,

likes drinking tea after exercise.

Beijing is an amazing place. I really like Chaoyang. The people there are very nice and respectful. And especially the parks that are very accessible, for example, Chaoyang Park. I’ve been there a couple of times and I loved it every time because it is very beautiful and it's a nice place to walk.

I like all the accessibility, for example, the subway. I like how it can get you anywhere in a short amount of time. And especially the public bikes, I can use those to explore Beijing with my friends.

I think I would recommend to my friends, because it is a very good drink after a long run or a sport activity, because it relaxes you and clenches your thirst.

I like "Oolong".

Samuel Fischer, Senior Executive of Deutsche Bank,

likes drinking tea during meetings.

I commute to and from work every day on a shared bicycle, followed by a subway ride to the office, just like any other resident of Beijing. Over the past 20 years, I have remained rooted in Beijing, as a witness to this city's progress and transformations.

Undoubtedly, Chaoyang District stands as one of the most internationalized areas within Beijing. It is home to various foreign embassies, international corporations, and the headquarters of numerous Chinese multinational enterprises. This includes Deutsche Bank, where I proudly serve. The district has witnessed substantial investments in complementary facilities, ranging from diverse culinary options, efficient transportation systems, and impressive office buildings, to our bustling Central Business District (CBD). In recent years, there has been an influx of such investments, so the business environment is undeniably favorable.

While I must admit that I'm not an expert on tea, I do relish the experience of drinking it. It seems that during important meetings, tea is often partaken in conjunction with fruitful discussions, resulting in significant outcomes. When it comes to enjoying black tea, it is only fitting to return to its birthplace in China, to truly appreciate its authentic flavor.

May we share a cup of exceptional Chinese tea together? In Chaoyang, I find great pleasure in savoring tea in this way.

Michael, a British reporter from China Daily,

likes drinking tea while shopping.

My name is Michael. I work for China Daily as a reporter and photographer. And I'm from the UK. I've lived in China for quite a long time, and I think the amazing thing is, how fast the development has taken place, especially with Beijing. Beijing is a very old city, and it has lots of new buildings, lots of fast development.

No matter what aspect of my life I need something, it's here, you know. Where, where I come from, if I wanted to buy a certain thing, I would have to go to another town or another city, travel around. Here, whether it's clothes, whether it's electronic, it's just all here really. I think Chaoyang has everything.

You know, with tea in China, it wasn't just drinking a drink. There's a culture behind it. The tea ceremony, and this kind of thing. I like it! I like the taste.

I like Pu'er tea.

Deanna, a foreign teacher,

likes "Tea-whisking"

Beijing is an incredible city, experiencing this beautiful ancient environment has been amazing to see. It really makes me feel like I've stepped back in time. Especially wearing my Tang suit made me feel like I can understand the culture a lot more especially being able to participate in this tea.

Especially being able to participate in this tea, I would introduce it by saying that the 点茶 (The Tea-whisking) is a very complex skill that is taught and has been taught over many many years. It's something that represents such a high stature.

I love "diancha".
