The word `欢迎` means [`welcome`](https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?page=worddict&wdrst=0&wdqb=%E6%AC%A2%E8%BF%8E) and is typed as `huan ying`. This is a pretty basic word in Chinese so you can easily look it up even via a quick Google search.

### In case you encounter a similar case down the road...

If you use macOS or iOS, you can add a handwritten Chinese keyboard, and write the character in the screen by handwriting it. Then tap on the correct character on the pop-up and search it via Google, or paste it on the dictionary (macOS has a default Chinese dictionary, for your information).

If you use iOS and download [an app called Pleco](https://www.pleco.com) (which is available in Android as well), you can use the handwritten feature and dictionary together via an In-App Purchase.
