近日，“张家界的山上‘长满’了韩国人”的网络话题一度冲上热搜。据张家界武陵源风景名胜区和国家森林公园管理局统计数据显示，今年1至3月，张家界国家森林公园接待韩国游客超过4万人次。张家界为何如此吸引韩国游客？4月22日，记者跟随定居湖南多年的韩国人李相勋及其湖南土家族妻子余晓琼，一同前往张家界国家森林公园，从他们的视角领略张家界为中韩游客带来的绝佳体验。

“ 此生必去 ” 一览 大自然鬼斧神工

“人生若不到张家界，百岁何足称老矣。”在韩国流传的这句话，充分体现了韩国人对张家界的喜爱。

虽然已游览过张家界“无数次”，李相勋仍乐此不疲。他认为张家界的每一处风景都有着独特的故事。此行，他与妻子还一同参与了杨家界景区“世界地球日”公益活动。该活动由张家界旅游集团股份公司主办，张家界杨家界索道公司、湖南日报内容运营与品牌推广中心承办，旨在通过创意形式，呼吁更多人保护环境、关爱地球。

随着缓缓升起的高空索道，李相勋惊叹张家界的山峰真是“处处都不同”；登上杨家界景区观景台，一排排、一片片、一堵堵的绝版峰墙，更让他们惊讶得合不拢嘴。“这是地球母亲珍贵的自然遗产”，在峰墙之前，李相勋与妻子用韩语向全球网民呼吁要保护好地球，“拾起地上的小瓶子，为共同的地球减少负担” 。

“ 宾至如归 ” 自在舒适畅游张家界

作为湖南省长沙市韩国人协会副会长，李相勋不仅是张家界常客，更是一位热心的跨文化传播者。他经常陪同初次来访湖南的韩国朋友一道来张家界游玩，平时也热衷于研究湖南与韩国的文化交往历史。他表示湖南是理学的发源地之一，朝鲜王朝的许多文献里有湖南“潇湘八景”的图文。

近年来，众多韩国游客热衷于来张家界旅游。李相勋认为，除韩国人喜爱高山风景、张家界在韩国声名远扬之外，还有一个很重要的原因，是韩国人在张家界旅游非常便利，完全没有语言障碍。中韩直飞航班、韩语导游、韩语商贩和韩文标识等，让韩国游客感受到了“宾至如归”的温暖。

“以美为媒” 促进跨文化交流互鉴

“我老婆是张家界土家族人。”李相勋面对镜头，笑着说道。对这片土地，他有着特殊的感情与回忆，他跟妻子谈恋爱时就来过，如今已在湖南组建了家庭，进入了新的人生阶段。在Vlog中，李相勋夫妇与来自10个不同国家的友人一同探索张家界。游览杨家界景区、宝峰湖、十里画廊，走进山间民宿露营，体验少数民族服饰，跟着非遗传承人学唱桑植民歌，体验特色长桌宴……国际友人们感慨大自然鬼斧神工的同时，也对动人的桑植民歌兴奋不已。“短短几句歌词，层次却这么丰富，曲调又十分有趣！”当听到桑植有上万首这样的歌曲，且大多是情歌之后，来自赞比亚的留学生辛娜竖起了大拇指，“这样的表达，实在太浪漫了！”

在体验了特色十足的张家界长桌宴后，李相勋和国际友人们用“热歌劲舞”庆贺此次旅行。当《小苹果》《三只小熊》等耳熟能详的韩国歌曲响起，掀起现场活动高潮。既有动听的湘西民歌，也有热辣的韩国舞蹈，这是一场11个不同国家的朋友生动的跨文化交流之旅。

“各个国家的朋友因为张家界‘美好的风景’汇聚一堂，这是最好的跨文化交流。”李相勋说，能通过VLOG的形式，向更多外国朋友推荐张家界，让大家了解这儿的美景和文化，是一件非常荣耀的事情。

Chinese-Korean Couple Explores Zhangjiajie, High-altitude Declaration of Love for Earth

Recently, the internet topic "Mountains in Zhangjiajie 'Filled' with Koreans" surged in popularity. According to statistics from the Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan Scenic Area and the National Forest Park Management Bureau, over 40,000 South Korean tourists visited Zhangjiajie National Forest Park from January to March this year. Why does Zhangjiajie attract Korean tourists so much? On April 22nd, reporters followed Lee Sang-hun, a Korean who has settled in Hunan for many years, and his Hunan Tujia wife, Yu Xiaoqiong, to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park to experience the excellent experience it offers to Chinese and Korean tourists from their perspective.

"A Must-see in this Lifetime" to Witness Nature's Marvels

"If one hasn't been to Zhangjiajie in their lifetime, what's the point of living a hundred years?" This saying circulating in Korea fully reflects Koreans' love for Zhangjiajie. Despite having visited Zhangjiajie "countless times," Lee Sang-hun is still enthusiastic. He believes that every scenery in Zhangjiajie has a unique story. During this trip, he and his wife also participated in the "World Earth Day" charity event in the Yangjiajie scenic area. The event, hosted by the Zhangjiajie Tourism Group, aims to call for more environmental protection and care for the earth through creative means.

As the cable car ascended slowly, Lee Sang-hun marveled at how the peaks of Zhangjiajie are truly "unique everywhere"; upon reaching the observation deck of the Yangjiajie scenic area, rows and rows of unique peak walls left them speechless. "This is the precious natural heritage of Mother Earth," Lee Sang-hun and his wife appealed to global netizens in Korean to protect the earth before these peak walls, "pick up the bottles on the ground and reduce the burden on our common earth."

"A Home Away from Home" - Leisurely and Comfortable Exploration of Zhangjiajie

As the vice president of the Korean Association in Changsha, Hunan Province, Lee Sang-hun is not only a frequent visitor to Zhangjiajie but also a passionate cross-cultural communicator. He often accompanies Korean friends visiting Hunan for the first time to explore Zhangjiajie and is keen on researching the cultural exchanges between Hunan and Korea. He mentioned that Hunan is one of the birthplaces of Confucianism, and many documents from the Joseon Dynasty contain illustrations and descriptions of the "Eight Scenic Views of Xiaoxiang" in Hunan.

In recent years, many Korean tourists have been keen on visiting Zhangjiajie. Lee Sang-hun believes that besides Koreans' love for mountain scenery and Zhangjiajie's fame in Korea, another important reason is the convenience for Korean tourists to travel in Zhangjiajie, without any language barriers. Direct flights between China and Korea, Korean-speaking guides,and Korean-language signage, make Korean tourists feel warmly welcomed and at home.

"Using Beauty as a Medium" to Promote Cross-cultural Exchange and Mutual Learning

"My wife is a Tujia from Zhangjiajie," Lee Sang-hun said with a smile facing the camera. He has special feelings and memories for this land. He came here with his wife when they were dating, and now they have built a family in Hunan, entering a new stage of life. In their vlog, Lee Sang-hun and his wife explored Zhangjiajie with friends from 10 different countries. They visited the Yangjiajie scenic area, Baofeng Lake, the Ten-Mile Gallery, stayed in mountain guesthouses for camping, experienced ethnic minority costumes, learned to sing Tujia folk songs from intangible cultural heritage inheritors, and experienced the characteristic long-table feast. International friends marveled at the marvels of nature in Zhangjiajie and were excited about the touching Tujia folk songs. "With just a few lines of lyrics, the layers are so rich, and the melody is very interesting!" When they learned that there are tens of thousands of such songs in Sangzhi, most of which are love songs, Sinna, a student from Zambia, gave a thumbs up, "Such expression is so romantic!"

After experiencing the distinctive Zhangjiajie long-table feast, Lee Sang-hun and his international friends celebrated their trip with "hot songs and dances." When familiar Korean songs like "Little Apple" and "Three Bears" played, it brought the atmosphere to a climax. There were not only melodious Xiangxi folk songs but also lively Korean dances. It was a lively cross-cultural exchange trip among friends from 11 different countries.

"Friends from various countries gather here because of Zhangjiajie's 'beautiful scenery,' which is the best cross-cultural exchange," Lee Sang-hun said. Being able to recommend Zhangjiajie to more foreign friends through vlogs, letting everyone understand the beautiful scenery and culture here, is a very honorable thing.
