There is good news for Chinese tourists with plans to visit Korea this month.
As the number of Chinese tourists likely to visit Korea between February 18 and 24, the biggest annual holiday in China, is predicted to be the biggest ever, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has recently produced and distributed a travel pamphlet and "Story Book" that contain basic information about Korean culture and history. The material is all printed in simplified Chinese, targeting tourists from mainland China.
The leaflet has basic information about traditional Korean culture and the history of major tourist destinations around Seoul, including the royal palaces, and has information about notable sites such as the King Sejong statue located at Gwanghwamun Square.
The Story Book introduces travelers to seven of the most popular tourist attractions, including Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace and the Suwon Hwanseong Fortress.
The Story Book is made up of contributions from travel guides and professional historians. Its aim is to increase the reliability of information available out there, and to let people know about the fun elements of some of Korea's famous sites. All the information in the booklet is provided in both Korean and simplified Chinese.
The leaflet is being distributed starting February 11, and the Story Book from 13 at major tourist locations. The Story Book will also be available on your smartphone starting early next month through the K-Books application offered by the Korea Tourism Organization.
