"Nihao, Beijing! It's great to be back. Started my trip today by visiting with the incomparable Guo Pei - such exquisite care and craftsmanship in her work, Cook wrote on Weibo (China's Twitter-like micro-blogging platform). He also expressed his excitement over how Guo and her team used Apple's iPad Pro tablet to design her upcoming collection.

Guo is a rising fashion designer known for wedding dress collection and shot to fame after her success at the Met Gala in New York in May.

Days before his visit, Cook spoke about his first five years as CEO of the tech giant and also touched on the potential of China as a market for Apple products

"So as I look in the long term, I think China is an unbelievable market - not only from a demand point of view and the revenue potential there, but also as a great source of talent," Cook said.

In his interview, Cook also discussed Apple's 33 percent decline in revenues in China in the most recent quarter.

"There are, sort of, speed bumps now with the economy. In a year-ago quarter, we were up 112 percent. So I think you have to back up and put it in perspective. If you look at it over a two-year basis, we were up over 50 percent in the quarter."

During his last visit to China, Cook met with some Chinese developers as well as Liu Qing, president of Didi Chuxing, the largest ride-hailing company in China, shortly after Apple announced that it had invested $1 billion in the Beijing-headquartered transportation company.
