To help South Korea's tourism enterprises amid the COVID-19 emergency, the Culture and Tourism Bureau in Qingdao, East China's Shandong province and several provincial travel agencies donated over 15,000 facial masks to South Korea.

This batch of medical supplies, worth 225,000 yuan ($32,000), was delivered to the Seoul Tourism Association and distributed to multiple companies.

Cooperation and exchange between China and South Korea has witnessed substantial progress in the past. Both sides value each other's friendship and generous support during this challenging time.

With deeper understanding and mutual trust, there will be a stronger partnership between Chinese and South Korean tourism.
