Oman is Sinbad’s hometown, where local people always carry around Alladdin’s magic lamps. It is indeed full of magic.

Known as the most temperate country in the Middle East, Oman is located on the southeast coast of the Arabian peninsula in Western Asia. It borders the United Arab Emirates to the northwest, Saudi Arabia to the west, Yemen to the southwest, guarding the world’s most important channel of oil export—— the Strait of Hormuz between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. What’s more, Oman is also the shipbuilding center of the Arabian Peninsula.

Through the silk road, ancient Arab businessman transported the frankincense and myrrh to China. In the 7th century, famous Omani navigator Aboubaide·Kassemthe, who is the prototype of Sinbad, became the first Arabian recorded in Chinese history book because of his successful sail to Guangzhou from Oman by a wooden junk. By the end of 14th century, Zheng He visited Oman for three times during his seven voyages to the Western Ocean. By now, the story of Zheng He’s visits to Oman is still popular with the Omanis.

After the initiative of One Belt and One Road was proposed, Oman which has profound relationship with china expressed strong support, and became one of the first countries to announce its accession to the AIIB.
