About Seoul

 

 

 

 

Seoul, the capital city of Korea, has over 600 years of history behind it. It is an attractive city that combines contemporary trends with tradition, as seen from the historical remains of Heungin Jimun (Dongdaemun). Due to the graceful geographical features of the mountain surrounding Seoul and Namsan, and the soothing, ubiquitous view of the Han River, one can feel the seasons changing, even in the midst of the city.

Seoul has genuinely grown into a major, international city, boasting of world-famous shopping sites and diverse modern facilities such as the Namdaemun Market, the Dongdaemun Market, Itaewon, and Insa-dong. Recently, the Seoul City Tour Bus has begun to serve tourists, making the tour of Seoul more pleasurable and practical.

There are 300 movie theaters, art galleries and museums in Seoul. Any tourist who is exposed to Korean culture for the first time will certainly be interested the reproduction of traditional ceremonies held at the ancient palace: the palace guard officer ceremony, reproduction of the Joseon Era, the Gojong and Myeongseong Wedding Ceremony, and more. Traditional culture and art concerts like the Pansori, Mask Dance, and Courtyard Play are also held periodically. This makes Seoul, which beautifully harmonizes 600-years of history and cutting-edge culture, a beautiful city worthy of visit.
