In the other world of Latin America, what kind of country is Panama, which just established diplomatic relations?
Just two days ago, a Latin American country established diplomatic relations with China and became China's small partner. This country is Panama, which is not only a country with colorful customs, but also has many charming tourist attractions.

Panama is a typical immigrant country, with Eurasian mixed blood accounting for more than half of the national population, followed by local Indians. It is easy to identify from the aspects of clothing culture. Ancient totems and bright colors are one of the characteristics of Panama's traditional costumes.

Panama's immigration history can be traced back to16th century. Hernando de Soto is a Spanish explorer. He first explored South America and discovered Panama, then went north to America and discovered the Mississippi River in America.

Because Panama connects the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, its geographical position is very important. The most worrying question has always been when Panama can successfully dig the canal. The first attempt was made by France in the19th century, but only this artwork remained after the failure.

American President Roosevelt ordered the Panama Canal to be built. Panama Canal was put into operation in 19 15. In the next century, the completion of this canal provided great help to American financial resources.

In a short period of time, the Panama Canal has undertaken 5% of the world's trade, which means that the Panama Canal can collect more than one billion dollars a year just by collecting the bridge tolls of canal ships.

1989, Panama did not want the canal to be "permanently leased" by the United States. Manuel noriega, the leader at that time, rebelled, but in the end Panama was threatened by the United States. Manuel, the leader, was sentenced to 37 years in prison until he died in France half a month ago.

The Panama Canal was bumpy all the way until 1999. Nowadays, Panamanians are used to interdependence with this canal. On the boat next to the island, a group of Indians in traditional costumes just bought goods.

Apart from the canal, Panama is world-famous for its Panama straw hat. Don't underestimate this hat. Churchill, Roosevelt and Prince Charles are all loyal fans, not to mention many stars. This well-made straw hat is more expensive.
