Because I will be travelling to South Korea this summer, I decided to do my third cultural post on popular tourist spots in South Korea.
Seoul, South Korea (capital) is the most popular tourist designation for visitors. Seoul has a lot of modern as well as ancient architecture. It also has a lot of historical landmarks and a lot of places to shop. The night life is full of endless street foods, cafes, and gorgeous night views in N. Seoul Tower, which offers great panoramic views of the city.
Jejudo or Jeju Island is another popular tourist attraction. The island offers a lot of outdoor activities such as hiking on Halla-san, which is the highest peak in South Korea, riding horses, and watching sunsets and sunrises by the ocean.
Haeundae Beach in Busan is a very popular city to visit especially during the summer. There are a lot of beach festivals and concerts and is busy year round.
Seoraksan National Park is located in Gangwon Province. This national park attracts many tourists because of its beautiful scenery.
Gyeongju is a small city above Busan and this city has numerous historical sites. I read that Gyeonju is the prettiest in the spring because there are cherry blossom trees that line the main streets.
