Encounter the fusion of Sino-French cultural exchanges

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. On the stage of historical exchanges, the two countries have shared a series of remarkable moments and milestones.

On January 24, 2004, the Eiffel Tower was illuminated in "Chinese Red" for the first time. Bathed in a warm glow of light, the 115-year-old tower resembled a fluttering artist adding a rich touch of Chinese color to Paris.

In the same month, French audiences experienced for the first time original Chinese ballet performances of "The Bright Red Lanterns Hung High" and "The Red Detachment of Women." This marked a deep collaboration between China and France in the field of dance, conveying the exquisite language of culture to a wider audience.
