Those who are going to visit South Korea will find it interesting and useful to learn about the main attractions of the country. First of all, tourists are interested in the capital of Korea - Seoul. As early as the fourteenth century, a small settlement of Hanyang arose in its place. Some time later, already under the name Joseon, the village becomes the main city of the state. A beautiful royal palace called Gyeong-bok was built in it. Since 1945, the city has been called Seoul. The capital of Korea received its official status in 1948.
The city is spread out on the banks of the full-flowing Khan-Gan. The largest number of interesting sights is located in the Old Town. Most tourists flock here to see Gyeongbok-kun with their own eyes, the first of the palaces built in the city. Travelers will be curious to take a look at the beautiful Changdeok-kun. This palace is considered to be the most beautiful in Seoul. Curious sightseers can visit the museums that operate in the Old Town, for example, wander around the Museum of Royal Relics or the National Folkloremuseum.
You can learn more about the local culture while visiting temples and shrines. The capital of Korea is rightly proud of its Bongeun Temple and Inwan Temple, which is located on top of a 336-meter hill. The serene atmosphere of Buddhism pervades the very air of ancient temples. The ancient architecture is a striking contrast with modern skyscrapers, looking up, and makes memories of Seoul vivid and unforgettable. Listing the sights of Korea, we should definitely mention Seoraksan National Park. Bizarre rocks, lush greenery, large fountains, hiking trails, deep valleys, rare plants and animals - all this can be seen in these places.
