"There is an increasing number of Chinese tourists here in Finland, and I see more and more independent travelers as well," said a Finnish woman who wanted to be referred to as Sirkku.
Sirkku has traveled to China eight times since 1992. "I have seen huge changes in China. It's now a very open and modernized country," she said.
Teppo Rouvi, a designer by occupation and an ardent lover of the Chinese tea culture, is also a frequent traveler to China, and purchases different tea products and utensils during his visits.
He said it is surprising that the Chinese head of state will visit his country, adding "I hope President Xi might have time to sip the kung fu tea made by a Finn."
Hannu Tolonen, a sports consultant with the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture, said that Finland is willing to cooperate with China to develop its winter games and play a part in the organization of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, which China will host.
Finland has unique experience in winter games organization, stadium building and operation, as well as athlete and coach training, said Tolonen, adding that Finland can work with China to develop its winter games, sports facilities and training courses based on China's actual conditions.
On Monday, just one day ahead of his visit, Xi published a signed article in the Finnish newspaper Helsinki Times with the title "Our Enduring Friendship," which has received positive responses from the Finnish media and public.
