Editor's Note:
President of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Lee Jae-myung visited the historic site of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea in Shanghai on Wednesday afternoon, drawing hundreds of Chinese and South Korean tourists and local residents.
The site, located in a Shikumen alley in downtown Shanghai’s Huangpu district around Xintiandi, was buzzling under the afternoon sunshine, with the Global Times reporters seeing visitors walking around the historic buildings and stopping to take photos.
The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea bore witness to the shared history of the Chinese and Korean peoples in resisting Japanese aggression. The current site served as the office of the provisional government of Republic of Korea from 1926 to 1932. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the ROK in 1992, several South Korean presidents have visited the location, according to media reports. (Photos: Chen Xia/GT)
