Ha Sung-ju, Consul General of the Republic of Korea in Wuhan, Hubei province, expressed his hope to use the Three Kingdoms (220-280) culture as a bridge to expand further tourism and cultural cooperation between ROK and Hubei province.

"I've read Romance of the Three Kingdoms seven or eight times and deeply admire the stories and culture of the Three Kingdoms era," he said.

Since assuming his role in February 2023, Ha has visited multiple cities in Hubei, leaving him particularly impressed by those linked to Three Kingdoms culture, such as Chibi, Jingzhou and Xiangyang.
