An 11-day tourist route has been developed for Chinese travelers with visits to five countries - Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine and Belarus. In Minsk, guests from China take sightseeing tours of the city, visit the Museum of the Great Patriotic War, the Opera and Ballet Theater, circus and water park.
