大家好，我叫杨星明，现在时AsiaN记者协会的实习记者，请大家多多关照。 今天我们的网站出了这样一篇文章，根据韩国旅游组织的统计，至少有45000的韩国人在中国最大的节日来到韩国过年主要在明洞和济州岛等地，并且据统计，约有8亿的中国人在这一期间在国内旅游或者出国旅游。据说乐天马特的中国银联的付款数明显上升。韩国旅游办公室已推出优惠促销活动对于中国银联信用卡用户。这一举动无疑对促进中国人消费是有很大的帮助的。今年是中韩建交20周年，我们全体韩国和中国人都见证了中韩关系的发展，贸易的增加，人民友谊的加深，中国现在也是韩国最大的贸易伙伴。 作为中国人，我也觉得中国经济发展了，很多人出国旅游度过农历春年。在此我祝愿这些来到韩国的中国人度过一个美好祥和的春年，也祝愿国内所有的中国人新年快乐。关注更多消息，请看我们的网站www.theasian.asia 请多多关照，谢谢
