- Old meets new in South Korea’s capital city, Seoul.
tylerdurden1
South Korea is an East Asian country known officially as the Republic of Korea. Its neighbors include China (to the west), Japan (to the east) and North Korea (which shares its northern border).
Seoul, the country’s capital, has the modern city standards: skyscrapers and neon lights. But it’s also host to a treasure of palaces, temples and gardens. Visit the gigantic Olympic Park or the National Folk Museum, see traditional houses at the Namsangoi and Bukchon Hanok Villages, or sample tasty Korean cuisine.
Busan, the country’s second-largest city, is well known for its beaches and seafood. The temperate climate and volcanic rock of Jeju Island lures outdoor enthusiasts. And North Gyeongsang Province contains much of the country’s cultural history.
