On the afternoon of April 18, a South Korean delegation visited the Baofeng Lake Scenic Area in Zhangjiajie. They immersed themselves in the city's natural landscapes and cultural tourism features, injecting new vitality into cultural and tourism exchanges between local governments of China and the ROK. These guests came to Hunan to participate in the 20th Local Government Exchange Seminar between China and the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the 22nd Korea Heart to Heart (K2H) Symposium on International Exchanges of Civil Servants.

The South Korean guests' two-day itinerary in Zhangjiajie was managed by the Zhangjiajie China Travel Service Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Zhangjiajie Tourism Group. As a rare landscape of a placid lake nestled between steep cliffs within Zhangjiajie's landform, Baofeng Lake has long been hailed as a "world-class lake." In spring, the scenic area is particularly enchanting, with emerald waters, lush vegetation, and layered peaks lining the lakeshore. Taking a boat trip on the lake evokes a poetic feeling of "travelling in a painting."

During the tour, the guests took a cruise and traveled through the lush green mountains and clear waters, admiring the lake scenery, majestic peaks, and cascading waterfalls up close, and frequently raising their cameras to capture the breathtaking views. Many guests were deeply captivated by the exquisite scenery of the Baofeng Lake. They all remarked that Zhangjiajie's landscapes combine both majestic grandeur and ethereal beauty, with every vista leaving them in awe. This tour also provided them with a clearer and more impressive understanding of China's natural landscapes and cultural tourism resources.

To ensure smooth progress of the reception, the host team developed a comprehensive plan in advance. They meticulously planned and optimized every detail from itinerary design and transportation arrangements to coordination with scenic areas and on-site services, providing all-around support with professionalism and enthusiasm. All this ensured that the guests enjoyed a comfortable journey and had a great experience, winning universal praise from the delegation.

The South Korean guests' trip to Zhangjiajie represents a significant opportunity to deepen local cultural and tourism exchanges between China and the ROK. Using the Baofeng Lake Scenic Area as a showcase, Zhangjiajie presented its high-quality cultural and tourism resources and services to the South Korean guests in a comprehensive manner. Moving forward, Zhangjiajie will continue to leverage its cultural and tourism resources, actively build bridges for international exchange and cooperation, and align Zhangjiajie's cultural and tourism industry with global standards, contributing to deepening China-ROK cultural and tourism exchanges while fostering regional cooperation and development.
