Top 10 Place to Visit in Korea. feel the beauty of korea, places, foods, traditions, many of things

10. Changdeokgung Palace.

Changdeokgung Palace was usually the favourite royal residence among the five major palaces established by the Joseon Dynasty in the 15th century near Seoul. It was here that the monarch and his family went about their daily lives. It wasn't just one building; it was a complex of buildings, each with its own function. Some are used as lodging, while others are used as libraries, dining rooms, and meeting spaces, among other things. Make time to visit the 78-acre Huwon, or palace garden, which is located behind the palace. Pathways, green spaces, pagodas, streams, and lakes abound.

9. Busan.

Are you aware that you may go to the beach in Korea? Busan is the country's second largest city, and its coastline is surrounded with gorgeous beaches and resorts. There's also a lot of culture and history to be found here. Be sure to stop at the Beomeosa Temple and Gamecheon's hillside village. Gamecheon, Korea's counterpart of Santorini, is a European-style community perched on cliffs above the sea.

Jagalchi Market, the country's largest commercial fish market, is a must-see for seafood aficionados. Consumers can enter a portion of the market, and there are numerous tiny eateries that can prepare your purchase so you can eat it right there.

8. Jeonju.

This historic city, which served as the Joseon Dynasty's spiritual capital, is about 90 minutes by train from Seoul. Many old temples and shrines, as well as a hanok village, can be found here. These are conserved neighbourhoods of ancient and old homes (hanoks) found around Korea, providing tourists to gain a sense of what life was like in ancient Korea. Some of the hanok villages' dwellings are open to the public for visits, while others have been converted into museums (and restaurants and lodging, too).

7. Seoul Tower.

Yes, everyone who visits Seoul should climb to the top of the city's most famous observation tower. Its near-mountaintop location, along with the tower's height, puts you nearly 500 metres above sea level and the city below. However, set aside some time to visit the nearby mountain range. The tower is located near the summit of Mount Namsan, and the entire region is managed by the city as Namsan Park. Within a few minutes of downtown Seoul, there are kilometres of hiking paths to discover.



6. Bukchon Hanok Village.

Hanok villages are living museums that can be seen in a few locations in Seoul and Korea. They're historical neighbourhoods that have been repaired and conserved, some in their original locations (like Bukchon) and others re-created with hanoks (traditional Korean dwellings) relocated from other areas. They allow visitors to experience not just what it was like to live in a hanok, but also what life was like in Korea 600 years ago.



5. Seoraksan National Park.

This spectacular natural wonderland (Korea's first national park) contains mountains, lakes, waterfalls, streams, and miles of hiking routes that allow you to explore them, much like Yosemite in the United States. The park's natural richness is well-known, with over 1,500 different animal species and over 1,000 different plant types. Two Buddhist temples are also located within the park, one of which is renowned as the "Temple of a Hundred Pools" because to the numerous ponds around it that are fed by mountain streams.

4. The Demilitarized Zone.

The demilitarised zone (DMZ) is a geographical boundary between North and South Korea that serves as a no-land man's boundary. The bizarre location, which is well guarded and mined, may only be viewed on an official, guided tour (the USO operates a popular one). The official area, formally known as the JSA or Joint Security Area, is around four kilometres wide. Panmunjom is the closest town.

3. The National Museum of Korea.

Seoul, as an international capital, has a plethora of museums. The National Museum of Korea is the largest, and like the Met in New York, it's a destination that can't be seen in a single visit. The huge collection mixes art, history, and archaeology to portray the tale of the Korean people and to depict the history of Korean culture.

2. Lotte World.

In the heart of downtown Seoul, there is an amusement park. It's a wonderful way to spend the day and an opportunity to learn about actual Korean business culture. Lotte World has a hotel, movie theatres, a folk museum with traditional performances, and ice skating, among other things.

1. Gyeongbokgung Palace.

The massive Gyeongbokgung Palace complex, often known as the Northern Palace, has seen a lot of instability through the years. It was first constructed in 1395 during the Joseon dynasty, which was responsible for the construction of five magnificent palaces throughout Seoul. The palace has been bombed, destroyed, reconstructed, occupied by the Japanese (for the first time in 1592), and only repaired in 1990. Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and Hyangwonjeong Pond, two of the few remaining ancient Joseon structures, are worth seeing.
