Who hasn’t obsessed over Kpop or engulfed themselves in the heartbreaking K-Dramas in the past year?- The Korean Wave hit people internationally, imparting its culture abroad. But there is much more to the place, where all this originates, than this. South Korea is counted among one of the few developed countries of Asia, giving the people one of the fastest Internet speeds and a sprawling urban life. However, it’s also an ancient land with rich history, hill-top temples, and shrines. A South Korean Tour Package will not only offer you the best of both worlds, i.e., the ancient and the modern, but will acquaint you with one of the most amicable people in the world.
1 . Busan: After Seoul, Busan is the biggest city in South Korea. It’s best during a hot summer where you can hit the golden sands of Haeundae beach along with numerous other attractions. The old temples of Beomeosa and Haedong Yonggungsa tell us about the rich culture. There are also various festivals held in Busan, such as the sea festival held every August and the International Film Festival held every October.
2. Lotte World: What can compete with the largest indoor theme park in the world, a luxury hotel, an outdoor amusement park, movie theatres, sports complexes, shopping malls, and Korea’s tallest building all at one place! There are bizarre boat rides with Sinbad, a Viking ship ride and a boat ride through a Jurassic Jungle.
3. Jeju Island: The proud host to 15,000,000 visitors each year visiting the tallest mountain in Korea (a dormant volcano), Jeju Island is amongst the famous places in South Korea. Its mysterious lava tube caves, waterfalls, and sizzling beaches allure Globetrotters from across the world. Home to three UNESCO World Heritage sites, including a technological hub called the Jeju Science Park.
4. Gyeongbokgung Palace: Translated as “Palace of the Crown Prince”- the Gyeongbokgung was built in 1395 and today reeks of royalty and luxury when one views the changing of guards at the main gate, Gwanghwamun. One can also attend the “Suragan Tasting Sympathy”- where one can taste royal food and spectate traditional plays.
5 . DMZ: Following the war with North Korea, the country had been divided into two with the DMZ or the Korean demilitarized zone. The DMZ is the most peculiar highlight of the South Korean Tour Package. There are guided tours available which show the tourists around museums, parks, sightseeing platforms onlooking the North, a North Korean gift shop, etc. in this immensely guarded and sensitive area.
A South Korean Tour package will stir you right off the orthodox tourist destinations and bring you a whole new perspective towards holidaying and travelling.
