The Chinese authorities have put on a show in Lisbon to tout the city of Shanghai as a draw for tourists from around the world, Xinhua reports.
The Chinese government-run news agency says almost 100 people attended the event.
The organisers provided virtual reality goggles to give them a glimpse of the attractions of Shanghai.
Shanghai and Portugal have cooperated closely for years, so increasing their exchanges of trade, technology and culture, Xinhua quotes Chinese Ambassador to Portugal Cai Run as saying at the show.
