Seoul Search

Spring time has already started in some parts of the world. And as we speak of spring season, cherry blossoms probably come first to your mind. 

In April 2014, I was lucky to be able to have had a quick hibernation in Seoul, South Korea. Yes, it was during spring time, but the country was not just a place where beautiful flowers bloom. It has so much more to offer. Here below were just some of the places we visited: 

Gangnam - widely known for its heavily concentrated wealth and high standard of living

Gyeongbokgung Palace - main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty

Changdeokgung Palace - one of the "Five Grand Palaces" built by the kings of the Joseon Dynasty. Here you can try to wear hanbok or traditional Korean dress.

Insadong - a district of modern galleries and tea shops

Cheonggyecheon Stream - modern public recreation space in downtown Seoul, South Korea. The place is really nice at night, when it is illuminated. 

Lotte World - indoor amusement park

Ellui Bar - nightclub

Nami Island - scenic island, popular because of the Korean tv series, Winter Sonata

N Seoul Tower - marks the highest point in Seoul

Myeongdong - shopping haven in South Korea

There are so much more places to visit, to do, to eat, and to try in Seoul, South Korea. Hopefully, more of 'Seoul searching' in the future and I'm crossing my fingers, I could be back and explore the other sides and attractions of South Korea!
