To introduce the picturesque tourist attractions in East China's Shandong province to the world, the China Tourism Office in Seoul and Shandong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism teamed up in organizing an online exhibition, showcasing the abundant sightseeing resources in the region.

The 60 photographs on display center on the cultural and natural beauty in the springtime, and 10 of the images highlight the city of Linyi – a place where tourism has helped to lift people out of poverty.

The introductory video has also drawn attention from many people from South Korea. "Shandong is such a beautiful place. The photos bring me a lot of joy at this challenging time amid the COVID-19 epidemic," Liang Wucheng, the tourism ambassador of Shandong province, said.

Wang Lei, head of the Shandong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, said this exhibition has proven to be a success in online tourism promotion. The hospitable people in Shandong welcome visitors to enjoy the renowned Taishan Mountain and the hometown of Confucius.
