The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism put on a culture and tourism photo exhibition and public day activities at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul to showcase the charm of Beijing.
The exhibition displayed 50 photographs of Beijing’s culture and tourism resources to showcase the city’s profile as an ancient capital, a fashion hub, a cultural center and a modern metropolis, offering locals a glimpse of the new city featuring the integration of profound oriental charm and modern fashionable glamour. The exquisite pictures of the International Horticultural Exhibition 2019 in Beijing were of particular appeal to local people and media.
In order to make the public day more interactive, experience-rich and interesting, the Beijing delegation also carried out activities such as intangible cultural heritage craft of paper-cutting and dough sculpture, Chinese tea art, photo-taking with ancient costumes, hand-painting Beijing and snack tasting. Beijing’s time-honored cultural traditions and rich tourist resources were displayed in various aspects.
The Beijing delegation also visited local sports and tourism authority and South Korean tourism enterprise HanaTour to gain deeper understanding of the country’s outbound tourism so that Beijing’s culture and tourism promotion can be more targeted and overseas cooperation expanded.
South Korean tourists now enjoy a 144-hour visa-free transit, tax rebates at departure, conference incentives and other preferential policies for traveling to Beijing. The city looks forwards to receiving more South Koreans to learn about Beijing and experience Chinese culture.
