Hawzah News Agency (Qom, Iran) – On his worldwide journeys, Haylo Zhang, a Chinese tourist, has travelled to Iran and the holy city of Qom to pay a visit to the holy shrine of Lady Masumah (sa), daughter of Shias' 7th Imam. During his visit to the holy shrine, he was received by the members of the office for international relations of Lady Masumah shrine.
Speaking of his trips all around Iran to different cities, he said, "My job is to travel and I've been to many countries so far, In fact I've visited as many as 80 countries worldwide; I've also written many stories about my trips."
Zhang went on, "My trip to Iran was different than all my other journeys since Iranian people are very hospitable and friendly with the tourists. Everywhere I went in Iran; the local people invited me to their homes and offered me homemade meals. They told me, 'a guest is considered as a friend of Allah in Islam', that was very interesting to me."
"Before travelling to Iran, I had some information about this country. Many people outside Iran think Arabs and Iranians are of the same ethnicity which is not true, that's probably due to the western Media's anti –Iran propagation to introduce it as a dangerous country, but I already knew that Iran is one of the safest countries in the world,"
"During my visit to Lady Masumah (sa) shrine, I recognized Muslims pay respect to other prophets including Jesus and Moses (as) prior to entering the shrine; such rituals prove the peaceful nature of Islam and its view regarding other divine religions; I believe such respectful attitude towards other religions can solve many problems in the world."
