Her Excellency Madam Fu Ying was in Guernsey to enhance economic, trade and cultural links.
She was taken to Frossard House by Lt-Governor Sir Fabian Malbon, where she was met by Chief Minister Lyndon Trott.
She was whisked off to Kleinwort Benson, where she met Commerce and Employment minister Carla McNulty Bauer and Guernsey
Finance chief executive Peter Niven.
Her tour took in the Royal Court, the Bailiff’s Chambers, lunch at Le Nautique followed by the Guernsey Museum in Candie Gardens.
Museums director Dr Jason Monaghan took Madam Fu to the Victor Hugo statue in the gardens before showing her through the Victorian Gallery.
‘It’s always a delight to show people around,’ he said. ‘I think she was quite taken by some of the Victorian children’s toys.’
