Two cities separated by the Yellow Sea are proving distance is no barrier to collaboration! 🌉 Qingdao (China) and Daegu (South Korea) have turned their 30-year sister-city bond into an economic and cultural powerhouse—just in time for #APEC2025 in Gyeongju!
🏙️ Qingdao’s coastal charm meets Daegu’s mountain-backed innovation: Think red-tiled rooftops blending with cutting-edge medical labs and textile factories. Since 1993, they’ve traded more than just goods—they’ve swapped ideas, art, and urban development strategies.
📸 A recent photo exhibition in South Korea spotlighted their journey, with snapshots of skyscrapers, cultural festivals, and joint tech projects. "It’s like a K-drama meets a business case study," one attendee joked. 🇨🇳🤝🇰🇷
Why it matters: As APEC leaders prep for 2025, this partnership shows how local ties can fuel global progress. Who knew sister cities could be this cool? 💡
