The events were organized by the Weihai Global Partner Business Center, the Weihai TV Broadcasting Culture Tourism Co and the South Korea Multicultural Exchange Association, with the co-sponsorship of the Songdo Cultural Art Museum in South Korea.

This was done in a bid to promote traditional Chinese culture, facilitate cultural exchanges between China and South Korea, enhance the mutual appreciation of civilizations, and foster even friendlier ties between the two countries.

The Aiwei Art Troupe presented a diverse range of performances for the audience, including choir singing, fan dancing, an ensemble featuring the guzheng (Chinese zither), humorous skits, a solo performance of the erhu, modern dance, a pipa (Chinese lute) performance, an acapella choir, and some energetic drumming.

The Weihai municipal government's South Korean economic and trade representative office gave its full support for the events, creating a new platform and providing fresh opportunities for deepening cultural exchanges between the two countries.

In the future, the Weihai municipal government's South Korean economic and trade representative office will continue to build a "cultural bridge" between China and Korea, and make more efforts and contributions to active cultural exchanges between the two countries, said Weihai officials.
