Chinese media reported on the 14th that the increasing number of Korean tourists visiting Shanghai, China, is attracting Chinese attention. Analysts say that the number of Korean tourists increased as China introduced visa-free entry measures for Koreans.
Ctrip, a Chinese online travel platform, said the number of Korean tourists visiting Shanghai from Nov. 8 to Dec. 28 last year increased by more than 180 percent year-on-year and more than 40 percent from the previous month. According to Shanghai customs statistics, more than 130,000 Korean travelers entered Shanghai Pudong Airport last month.
Local netizens noted that the majority of Korean tourists visiting Shanghai follow a specific travel course. One netizen also mentioned, "You can hear 'yes' just a few steps along this road."
Singapore's Yonhap news agency reported that places shared as "must-see restaurants" among Korean travelers are always crowded, and many Koreans buy Qingdao beer as a souvenir. In addition, a Chinese newspaper quoted the owner of a hot pot (火鍋) shop in Shanghai's People's Square business district as saying that the number of Korean tourists has increased since November 10 last year, and that they have prepared separate Korean signboards and "Happy Birthday" services.
"Some Chinese netizens believe that the travel course of Korean tourists is not only one-size-fits-all, but also very similar in clothing," the Yonhap news agency said. "I think many Korean male young men are partying in the middle, with high cheekbones on their single-lid eyes and stylish clothes."
Unlike European and U.S. travelers who do not spend money well even in China, Korean tourists are actively opening their wallets in Shanghai for shopping and beauty care. Chinese netizens responded by saying, "Shanghai finally met someone who understands Shanghai best," and "Korean chaebol" and "Shanghai prices" run toward each other."
Among them, it was reported that the "wealthy second generation" living in Shanghai drove supercars from the early morning to Wukang-ro, where Korean tourists flock. They sometimes pose when a Korean traveler tries to take a picture of a car with his or her cell phone.
The media added, "Who would have thought that this supercar parade was unexpectedly aimed at Korean spectators who recently visited Shanghai?"
Due to this phenomenon, local police also controlled the supercar procession heading to Ukangro on the 12th.A Chinese netizen who
said, "Traveling to China by Korean tourists not only induces consumption, but can also break prejudice against China, and it should be greatly welcomed as there is an aspect of win-win originally."
