Bongeunsa Temple Celebrating Year Of The Dragon
For many visitors to Asia, Seoul is one of those places on their wish to visit list. One day, but not today. It's often bypassed for tropical Singapore, historic Japan, or for hectic China. Ask about South Korea to your friends and more often than not, the most they will know about South Korea is about the conflict with North Korea.
But there's more to Korea, lots more. Seoul has soul. Seoul has history which can be seen by wandering the grounds of one of the Five Grand Palaces. Seoul has advanced technology, amazing architecture, uniques foods, and friendly locals who are always welcoming to new visitors. Many neighborhoods in Seoul have a small town feel to them. A sort of personal and down to earth experience, which is rare for a megacity with a popluation of over 25 million including its surrounding areas.
It is the type of city where you can walk around and easily find a local and bustling market that is open 24 hours a day. Seoul is an amazing place to shop whether you are trying to find only the freshest seafood at the Noryangjin Fish Market or shopping among thousands at the COEX Mall, Asia's largest underground shopping mall.
