Hello students, I am Lao Chen. Today let’s talk about a topic that’s been on fire all over the internet recently The reaction of Korean tourists after traveling to China.
Have you noticed that many people in your circle of friends have been forwarding videos and posts about Korean tourists traveling to China recently? Especially in Shanghai, Korean tourists can be seen everywhere. What’s going on here? It turns out that our country has implemented a visa-free policy for South Korea, so South Koreans can come to China for three days when they say they want to go.
Now that’s interesting. In the past, many Koreans had the impression that China was, to put it bluntly, poor and backward. But when they really came to China, their eyes were wide open! I heard that a Korean boy, just arrived in Shanghai on Weibo posted a dynamic My God, Shanghai is too developed!
Guess where Koreans like to go in Shanghai? The Bund! Standing by the Huangpu River, looking at the skyscrapers on the other side of the river, it’s amazing. Xintiandi, Yuyuan, and other places are also popular with Korean tourists. But the biggest surprise for Koreans is the Chinese food.
Speaking of which, I remembered an interesting story about a Korean girl who took a taxi in Shanghai. A Korean girl took a taxi in Shanghai, the driver said the fare was 92 dollars. The driver said the fare was 92 yuan, but the girl read it as 9200 yuan and was shocked. When she got to her destination, she realized that she had misunderstood. When this story spread on the Internet, everyone laughed like crazy. However, I think this is also a reflection of the fact that Korean people’s impression of Chinese prices is still stuck in the past.
However, the biggest reward for Korean tourists coming to China may still be breaking their prejudice against China. A Korean netizen wrote on social media platforms that he used to think that China was synonymous with cottage goods and fake goods. I came to realize that China’s level of technology is not worse than South Korea, and even in many aspects of the lead.
I want to applaud him for what he said. The development of China in these years is not a cover. High-speed rail, mobile payment, shared bicycle, which is not the world’s leading? South Korean friends have seen all this with their own eyes, how can they not refresh their perception of China?
Of course, we can’t be complacent just because of a few compliments from Korean tourists. China still has a lot of room for improvement. For example, we still have a long way to go in terms of service level and environmental protection. It’s definitely good to have more foreign friends come to China to see and understand the real China.
Students, have you had any contact with Korean friends? If you have the chance, why don’t you talk to them and see if their impression of China has also changed. Remember, the most important thing in cultural exchange is equality and mutual respect. Let’s not be presumptuous, nor be blindly arrogant.
Well, that’s all for today, welcome to leave your opinion in the comment section, we’ll see you next time.
