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.

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. |
