The app features a Korea map in Chinese, directions, and public transportation and shopping information such as the opening hours of major shopping places as well as discount coupons.
The mobile app targets the growing number of Chinese tourists in Korea, which are expected to reach some 5.8 million by the end of the year. Chinese arrivals have already reached 42 percent of the total arrivals in Korea.
