Korea is an east Asian country that is currently divided into two separate sovereign states, North Korea and South Korea. Korea is bordered by China, Russia, Japan. The capital city is Seoul.
Today, I recommend you traveling in Seoul
and give you some tips when you traveling in Seoul.
I made some place
lists when you can enjoy Seoul city tour. With this places, you can see Seoul’s
past, present, future.
First, Gyeongbokgung. (Gyeongbokgung palace)
Gyeongbokgung is
a royal palace located in northern Seoul. First constructed in 1394 and
reconstructed in 1867, it was the main and largest palace of the Five Grand
Palaces built by the Joseon Dynasty. The name of the palace, , Gyeongbokgung,
translated in English as “Pallace Greatly Blessed by Heaven,” In this place you
can see Seoul’s past.
Second, Chenggyecheon.
Chenggyecheon is
an 8.4 km (5.2 miles) long, modern public
recreation space in downtown Seoul. After
the Korean War, more
people migrated into Seoul to make their living and
settled down
along the stream in shabby makeshift houses. The accompanying
trash, sand,
and waste, and deteriorating conditions resulted in an eyesore in
the city. In
July 2003, Seoul mayor initiated a project to restore the stream.
After that, the
area became an example of successful industrialization and
modernization of
South Korea.
Third, Teheranno.
Teheranno is a street in the Gangnam district of Seoul. It is colloquially known as “Teheran Valley” due the number of internet-related companies operating there, including Yahoo and Daum, Naver. Various Korean and international financial and business institutions also maintain offices here. Some of Korea’s tallest skyscrapers and most expensive real state are on Teheranno. Teheranno is the Mecca of South Korea business. In this valley, you can see future of Seoul.
