你们在小时候听说过飞毯的故事吗？不管是在迪士尼的动画电影《阿拉丁》里，还是在著名的民间故事《一千零一夜》中，都有一条神奇的可以凭空起飞的毯子，它能够把主人带到世界上任何他想去的地方。

在《一千零一夜》的一个故事中，国王向他的三个儿子提出了一个挑战，他们必须出去寻找并带回一件最稀有的物品来迎娶努罗尼哈公主。其中长子哈桑王子在集市上购买了一块可以立即将他带到任何他想去的地方的神奇飞毯。尽管只占很小的篇幅，飞毯却成为故事中一个有趣而迷人的元素，激发了人们儿时的无穷想象。 6park.com

小时候以为飞天魔毯只是童话故事，没想到，在广州和迪拜这对姐妹城市的努力下，实现打“飞的”近在咫尺！广州和迪拜正在加快低空经济布局，推动“空中出租车”商业化运营。 6park.com
When I was a child reading The Arabian Nights, flying carpets were just a fantasy. Today, the once-distant dream of soaring on a magic carpet seems within reach. Cities like Guangzhou and Dubai, linked by a tie of friendship cities for more than a decade, are advancing low-altitude economy infrastructure and promoting the commercial use of "flying taxis". 6park.com
在蓝天与大地之间，广州的企业家们铆足了劲，付诸具体的行动，竞逐这条新赛道。 今年10月，广州的低空经济新秀亿航智能、小鹏汇天齐聚在迪拜举办的2024年中东海湾信息技术展（GITEX GLOBAL 2024），这是全球最大的科技展之一。 6park.com
While ground-based vehicles are the focal point of most discussions, entrepreneurs in Guangzhou have their sights set on the skies and are working to turn fairy-tale magic carpets into reality.

早在建立国际友好城市之前，广州和迪拜就由频繁的海上贸易而产生联系。作为千年商都和海上“丝绸之路”的重要始发港，广州架起了我国与世界经贸往来的桥梁。而迪拜所在的阿拉伯半岛，自古就是中国通往欧洲与非洲的“海上丝绸之路”的必经之地。如今，全球有一百多条海运主航线会经过迪拜，为进出口贸易、转口贸易提供了便利条件。

传统的“广州制造”，如电子产品、服装和家具，从广州港出发进入中东市场，并以迪拜作为枢纽，将商品运送到非洲、欧洲和中亚等地区。 6park.com
Twelve years ago, Guangzhou and Dubai, both important trading hubs at the two ends of the Asian continent, established a tie of friendship that essentially formalized a partnership that had thrived for many years before that.

走在迪拜的街头，你或许会偶遇广州新塘牛仔、汕头澄海玩具、佛山陶瓷建材、中山灯饰等“广东优品”。如今，“广州制造”变为“广州智造”，从迪拜机场一下飞机，接大家的可能就是一台来自广汽的商务车。 6park.com

城市间的友好关系是国家间友谊的缩影。今年是中国和阿联酋建交40周年，中华人民共和国驻迪拜总领事欧渤芊说：“两国的交往远远不止于这40年。在阿联酋的哈伊马角酋长国，我们发现了明朝郑和下西洋时期，他的船队在这里停留的痕迹。”“从中阿两国的发展路径来看，中阿两国的发展有很多相似性，最重要的是我们都是选择了一条非常适合自己的发展道路。” 6park.com
The warm ties between the two cities epitomize the robust relationship that China and the UAE enjoy, the fruit of an agreement made in 1984, when they established diplomatic ties. Ou Boqian, China's consul-general in Dubai, says: "Both nations have chosen a development path that suits us well."
