TOP 5 SPOTS IN KOREA :)



Anneonghaseyo!

It would be a worth-while experience to be a part of Korean traditional activities when one pays a visit to Korea. Aside from popular tourist sports like Jeju Island and Nami Island, it is also a great experience to explore the modern sceneries of Hongdae, Gangnam in Seoul, and Insadong.


1st SPOT – SEOUL



Traditional Korean food could be savored at the Korean palace. You might find Korean dishes amazing as they serve them in a variety of colors and flavors. Koreans are very particular about a balance in their diet; probably that’s why you can observe the complexity of their cooking and food presentation.


On some occasions, you might get in time for Korean traditional festivities where in you may join making kimchi (Korean national food), rice cakes, flower cuisine and even join Taek-won-do trainees. Nan-ta is a very entertaining, showcasing the talents of Koreans in creating music using kitchen utencils.  It won’t be too bothering to transfer from place to place because Koreans have a very effective transportation system-the KTX bullet train. A cup of coffee from your choice of café along the streets would be a perfect match to Korea’s cold weather when you visit during winter.






  2nd and 3rd SPOTS for HONGDAE, GANGNAM, and INSADONG

For shop goers, no one can resist the busy streets of Hongdae. There you can find lots of different shops and bazzars offering different kinds of items to spend your money. Hongdae is the spot for shoppers with quite a tight budget, while Gangnam is the right place otherwise for high-end shops and brands. In Insadong, you can buy Korean traditional things, and experience bazzar. Also blue house (cheongwadae) is near you can have a look.








4th SPOT - NAMI ISLAND

One can have a total relaxation at Nami Island with its breath taking picturesque views and conductive atmosphere to get away from the streets of the cities. Some places popular among tourists offers a whole Korean experience in traditional stay-in houses where in one can learn about the customs   and traditions of a Korean household which is entirely different to staying in modern hotels.



5th SPOT - JEJU ISLAND

Last but not the least, who would go home without grabbing some souvenir items, from Korea? Jeju Island is not only known for its great oceanic view and modern hotels. It is also the favorite place among young at heart tourists who loves teddy bears. There are huge collections of huggable for toy to collect at the Teddy Bear Museum. For items you would like to share or give to friends at home may find a variety of cheap items at local markets and bazzars.





Have a great experience exploring Korea!
