Chinese website lists Cork in top 10 cities to visit

FIRST it was the Lonely Planet. Now Yahoo China has boosted Cork’s tourism stock even further.

Leeside has just been listed by the influential search engine, which reaches more than 1.5 billion people, as one of the world’s top 10 tourist cities to visit this year, alongside Istanbul, Kyoto, Vancouver and Singapore.

The citation was spotted by James Cuffe, a UCC PhD student working at the Irish Institute of Chinese studies in Shanghai.
