Nepal and China have established diplomatic relations for many years. What is the connection between them?

China and Nepal are friendly neighbors, and the two peoples have a history of friendly exchanges for thousands of years. Faxian, a monk in Jin Dynasty, and Xuanzang, a monk in Tang Dynasty, have been to Lumbini, the birthplace of Sakyamuni.

In the Tang Dynasty, Princess Chizhen of Nepal married Tibetan Zangbo Songzan Gambo. In the Yuan Dynasty, Anika, a famous Nigerian craftsman, came to China to supervise the construction of Baita Temple.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations in August 1955, the traditional friendship and friendly cooperation between China and Nepal have continued to develop. High-level exchanges between the two countries are close. The King and Prime Minister of Nepal visited China many times, Premier Zhou Enlai visited Nepal twice, and Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping also visited Nepal.

Extended data:

Nepal is close to China and Tibet, and Nepal and people in Xizang have the closest relationship. In friendly exchanges, cultures influence each other. For example, the fortress palace of Potala Palace in Lhasa is Nepalese in architectural form.

Tibet also has a large number of Nepalese craftsmen. More than 2000 years ago, Princess Bishun entered Tibet with an 8-year-old Buddha statue and presided over the construction of Jokhang Temple. This 12-year-old Buddha statue was brought from Chang 'an by Princess Wencheng in the Tang Dynasty.

Buddhism originated in India. More than two thousand years ago, the Buddhist culture brought by the Tang Dynasty and Nepal gathered in the land of Tubo and eventually became the spiritual pillar of this ice kingdom.

Time flies, the people of all ethnic groups in the Tubo Tang Dynasty and China have United into a powerful nation. Mount Nepal has always been our old friend, and we once climbed the top of Mount Everest with the hand of friendship.

Several channels along the Tibet-Nepal trade line can ensure smooth logistics all the year round, which is greatly conducive to the long-term prosperity of border trade. Nepalese who speak Nepali, Hindi and English are also well integrated into Tibetan culture.

Some Nepalese businessmen even live in Lhasa, Shigatse and other places all the year round, and seem to have become commercial immigrants. In 1950s, almost all motorcycles and cameras of Lhasa nobles were shipped through Nepalese businessmen.

At that time, shops in Nepal were one of the most avant-garde shops in the country. Indian songs and English songs are playing on the loudspeaker.

The streets of Bakr are still crowded with Nepalese businessmen, most of whom are selling handicrafts that their country is proud of.

In the remote foothills of the Himalayas, Nepalese caravans continued to trade with ancient freight caravans. In the border area between China and Nepal, the two peoples live in friendship and harmony. There seems to be no national border between the two countries. This is also a friendship accumulated over hundreds of years.
