In recent months, a cool trend has hit South Korean youth: weekend getaways to Shanghai on the Chinese mainland! 😎✈️
It’s not just about hitting up trendy cafes or shopping sprees at Nanjing Road. Many are adding a history twist by visiting the former Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea site – the temporary government set up in exile after 1910, when Korea was under colonial rule.
Why the buzz? The 2.5-hour flight from Seoul gives young travellers a quick escape, mixing modern city vibes with a powerful dose of shared history. Standing in the old headquarters, you can almost feel the energy of leaders who fought for Korea’s independence, making the trip more meaningful than a regular city break.
For tech-savvy explorers, there’s an extra layer: sharing live updates on social media, tagging spots with #ThrowbackShanghai, and sparking conversations about history and friendship between Korea and China. 🙌📸
Whether you’re from Jakarta, New Delhi or Manila, this trend shows how history can be part of your travel story. Next time you plan a weekend escape, why not consider a trip that feeds your wanderlust and your brain at the same time? 🌏🎒
