Korea

I LOVE KOREA!

Seoul

South Korea's capital city Seoul is a sprawling metropolis of 20 million people and with one of the most massive subway systems in the world. It's a fascinating mix of old and new, with ultra-modern apartment complexes mixed in with 1000 year old temples and palaces. 

Koreans love to eat and drink, and tucked away in every corner are delicious, cheap restaurants and Hofs (beer and chicken pubs) that stay open to the wee hours of the morning.

If shopping is your thing, you can get it all here. From the most luxurious name brands in Apgujeong, Myeongdong and Gangnam to some excellent deals at Namdaemum or Dongdaemum Markets. For a bit of culture, head over to Insadong for some nice restaurants, tea-shops and souvenir shopping. 

Jeju Island

Although it lies only 85km off the coast of South Korea, Jeju Island (more specifically Jeju-do) has developed its own unique history, traditional dress, architecture and linguistic traditions. With a moderate climate that differs surprisingly from the mainland, Jeju-do has a sub-tropical southern side and a more temperate northern region. 

On the island, which was recently voted one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, you’ll find exquisite botanical gardens, sandy beaches, lava caves, a folk village and the O’Sulloc Tea Museum where you can learn about South Korea’s famous traditional tea culture.

Among the island's numerous attractions, it is the outdoor activities that take center stage. But as you're hopping around from place to place, you'll need to refuel and Jeju is nothing if not a paradise for the palate. The island is famous for its seafood, savory black pork and an endless variety of traditional dishes made with fresh island greens. 

Seoraksan National Park

Seoraksan National Park is Korea's most famous. It's located outside the fishing village of Sokcho, in the North-East corner of Gangwon-Do. During the peak fall seasons, it seems like 1/2 of Korea is climbing the mountain. Also in the area are some luxurious gambling resorts, rafting rivers, bungee jumping and beautiful beaches. In winter, there are some nice Ski Resorts in the area. You could spend a week or two exploring this place, so make sure you leave a few days.

Gyeongju

A capital from the Shilla dynasty 2000 years ago, this place is filled with cultural relics at every corner. You could spend months here and not see everything. Walking down the street, or hiking up the local mountain, history is inescapable. The best way to see the sites is to rent a bicycle, get a handy tourist map and enjoy your day.

The best part about the activities here is that they involve a good combination of sightseeing as well as fun, such as cycling trips across tourist spots, walking trips, horse riding, archery classes, amusement parks, spas, golf courses, and performances at outdoor theaters.
