Introduction
There are many reasons why people choose to visit South Korea. The culture is rich and the food is amazing. There’s also plenty to do and see, with scenic mountains, beautiful beaches and bustling cities just waiting for you to explore them. Here are some of my favourite things to do when visiting South Korea:
Visit Seoul
Seoul is the capital of South Korea and a modern city with lots of restaurants and cafes. It’s also the best place to see the Korean culture. You can shop in Seoul for souvenirs, or visit museums and historical sites such as Gyeongbokgung Palace or Changdeokgung Palace.
Explore the Olympic Park
The Olympic Park is located in Yeongdong-gu district of Seoul, which is also home to several other popular sites like the Hangang River and Jamsil Stadium. The park is open to the public and has many things to do and see including an outdoor skating rink, a baseball field and even a dog park! If you’re feeling adventurous you can even try out some bungee jumping or rock climbing at the Extreme Sports Center.
The Olympic Stadium was built for use during both events held during 1988 Summer Olympics (track & field) as well as 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan finals match between Turkey vs Costa Rica where Turkey won 1-0 thanks to Hakan Sükür’s goal scored from penalty kick by Mehmet Özdilek after foul made on him by Costa Rica defender Marco Antonio Rodriguez Calvo who was sent off after receiving second yellow card from referee Carlos Amarilla Marquez due misconduct against Hakan Sükür earlier during game when he kicked ball away after being fouled by Hakan Sükür who tried kick ball back towards goal line but missed it entirely hitting player instead resulting penalty shot opportunity which ended up costing team dearly since now they needed three unanswered goals instead two due penalty shot having been awarded against them.”
Hike at Seoraksan National Park
Seoraksan National Park is a great place to hike, but there are many trails to choose from. If you’re looking for something easy and enjoyable, try the Seorakdong Trail (2 hours), which begins at the entrance of Seoraksan National Park and follows along a river before climbing up into the mountains. If you want more challenge, try hiking up Daecheongbong Peak (3-4 hours). This trail will take you through some steep terrain as it ascends over 1,000 meters in elevation!
Seoraksan has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its beauty and cultural significance; there are many temples and shrines throughout its vast expanse that make it an ideal place for exploring Korea’s history while enjoying nature at its finest.
Take the cable car to Nami Island
Nami Island is a popular tourist destination, and for good reason. It has many restaurants, shops and hiking trails to explore. The cable car can be taken from Seomyeon Station or Yeongdo-gu Office Station and will take you up to Nami Mountain where there are stunning views of Busan city (and even Japan).
Namiseom is also home to various festivals throughout the year including the Namiseom Marathon in April; Summer Music Concerts in July; Autumn Color Festival in October/November and Winter Light Festival at Christmas time!
See Jirisan National Park
Jirisan National Park is home to many beautiful mountains, including the highest peak in South Korea. You can hike up these mountains and see the amazing views from their peaks. The park also contains several temples that were built by monks during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). It’s a great place to relax and enjoy nature!
