Seoul
is the capital of South Korea and located on the northwest
corner of South Korea. The central area of Korea is the most
important for both sightseeing and accommodation.
Overshadowed by high-rises and 12-lane freeways, it retains
a hidden history of centuries-old temples, palaces, pagodas
and pleasure gardens.
Tourists and shoppers are well at home in Itaewon, south of
Mt.Namsan. The Han River winds through the city, splitting
it in two. The Gangnam-gu area on the south bank is Seoul's
most exclusive neighborhood, but on the whole, the southern
areas have less interest to the traveler than the historic
northern neighborhoods.
Despite being home to 10 million residents, Seoul is a safe
and friendly city with a low crime rate. Seoulites work long
hours but also enjoy socializing and are generally more than
kind to foreign visitors.
