Ybor City, Wednesday, April 4 - Chinese Ambassador and Permanent Representative of China's Mission to the United Nations, Wang Guangya, visited the Ybor City Museum today to learn about Ybor history, the mission of the Ybor City Museum State Park, and the Ybor City Museum Society. The Ambassador toured the Ferlita Bakery, the historic cigar worker's casita, and the businesses along 19th Street. He stopped into The Arnold Martinez Art Gallery, where the Tampa artist was hard at work, before being treated to some fresh Cafe Con Leche from neighboring business, Tre Amici. The Museum Society's Assistant Director, Manny Leto, spent about an hour touring the Ambassador and his wife through the museum complex prior to his lunch meeting with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Tampa Bay.

The Ambassador was happy to pose for this photo with school children from Lake Magdalene Elementary who were also touring the Museum.
