What are the must-see attractions in Korea?

The most artistic neighborhoods: Samcheong-dong, Sinsa-dong, Boam-dong, and Seochon. In Seoul, there are these places where modernity and retro intersect, simplicity and luxury are combined. For example, the tree-lined avenues in Samcheong-dong and Sinsa-dong are almost Koreans who have taken literature and art to the extreme. Every building and every window there is so dreamy.

Coupled with the role of the color palette, it is definitely a must-go for street photography. Of course, art lovers shouldn’t miss the West Village or Fuyan Cave. Stroll along the streets, stroll through the maze-like alleys, see light-colored murals and small graffiti, art galleries, and cafes with various styles and characteristics, where culture and art meet.

The most romantic thing: taking a train. The station closest to the sea is Jeongdongjin Train Station in Gangwon Province. As the closest train station to the sea in the world, you can experience the infinite charm of the surging waves and sea breeze as soon as you get off the train.

However, Jeongdongjin is called Korea’s representative tourist attraction for another reason. Here is the sunrise at Jeongdongjin. The sea breeze blows in, welcome the first ray of sunshine, and take a ride on the ocean train. Come and take in this beautiful scenery!

The most amazing: the year-end festival of lights. Dongdaemun Design Plaza Rose Garden, the LED rose garden is considered to be the most beautiful place at night in Dongdaemun Design Plaza! Every night after dark, up to 25,500 roses are lit up, setting off the surrounding high-rise buildings, making the scenery even more spectacular.

In the Design Plaza during the day, in addition to shopping malls, there are also some special exhibitions you can visit, and there are also some theme markets outside on weekends. There are so many shopping malls in the surrounding area that girls who want to shop can stay here all day.

The most exotic: Gamcheon Cultural Village in Busan, Itaewon in Seoul. Gamcheon Cultural Village is located at the foot of the mountain. It is a village formed by terraced houses gathered together. It was once a run-down slum, and later became a well-known cultural attraction under the promotion of Busan's "Alley Art Project". It is also known as the Santorini of Busan and is a place for exchange of diverse cultures through art exhibitions. The colorful paintings all over the village were painted by volunteers from all over the world. They were photographed along the way. Although the climb was hard, the scenery along the way was mouth-watering.
