A NICE TRIP in South Korea for 7 days!!!

Seoul is a dynamic city that perfectly blends tradition with modern life. Visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace and walking through the ancient streets of Bukchon Hanok Village gave me a deep appreciation for Korea’s history. At the same time, the futuristic vibe of Dongdaemun Design Plaza and the bustling Hongdae district showed off Seoul’s modern edge. The food, culture, and energy were unmatched - there’s always something exciting happening around every corner!

Exploring Gyeongju was like stepping back into ancient Korea. The city’s historical significance is palpable, especially while wandering through the Bulguksa Temple and the Seokguram Grotto. Tumuli Park with its royal burial mounds was fascinating, and the peaceful atmosphere of Anapji Pond during sunset was unforgettable. Gyeongju is a must for history lovers - it offers a glimpse into the ancient Silla dynasty with beautiful landscapes and well-preserved heritage.

Busan offers the perfect mix of vibrant city life and stunning coastal scenery. Haeundae Beach was a great place to relax, while the lively markets, especially Jagalchi Fish Market, gave me a taste of local culture. Climbing up to Gamcheon Culture Village for panoramic views and colorful art was a highlight. Busan’s relaxed vibe, combined with its urban and natural attractions, made it a refreshing contrast to other cities in Korea.

Seoul in South Korea

Visiting Seoul was an incredible cultural experience. From the majestic Gyeongbokgung Palace to the bustling streets of Insadong, I felt immersed in both the old and new Korea. The blend of traditional tea houses and modern cafes was fascinating. The highlight for me was watching the changing of the guard ceremony at the palace and strolling through Bukchon Hanok Village. The city is full of life, history, and incredible food. A must-visit for any traveler!
