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.
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!
