2 Visit South Korea once, become a storyteller for life Brimming with political fervour, South Korea, upon close inspection, turns out to be a hub for historical art and architecture. From palaces to national parks for the ones looking for traditional places to visit, and amusement parks to high-tech shopping and exhibition arcades for those looking forward to dive into the future, find ample options to keep you occupied. Flowing with colours and designs, high street and local, South Korea will inspire everyone to shop till they drop.

Shopping & Nightlife: Isadong Be it absolutely lip smacking food in restaurants or the pop-up shops outside of it; find yourself buying packaged food that you can bring back home with you.

3 Shopping & Nightlife: Isadong Be it absolutely lip smacking food in restaurants or the pop-up shops outside of it; find yourself buying packaged food that you can bring back home with you. With its famous tea houses, buying packets of scintillating tea is a must for any visitor. You can also expect to find traditional items as souvenirs or home decoration around this place. Edae It is an area near Ewha Women's University and a heaven especially for the females who love to shop till they drop! Cheap cosmetics, traditional Korean dresses and shoes are some of the main highlights of the space. The salons in the area are known for really nice makeovers. If you feel tired, you can get inside any one of the many restaurants and cafes in the area. Namdaemun Market It is located within walking distance of Myeongdong and a must to visit for all of the people looking to return to their places with different types of souvenirs and gifts for their loved ones. There is possibly nothing that you wouldn't expect to find here from clothing, bags, accessories, cosmetics, textiles, kitchenware and ginseng. The shops are very competitive in the area, so anybody having a knack for bargaining is sure to win a lot of steals from here. Dongdaemun It is Seoul's biggest shopping district which is the definition of 'shop till you drop' phrase. It is up from 10 PM - 5 AM. Expect to find malls as well as flea markets around the area which spoil the shopper

4 with varieties of choices. There is retail as well as wholesale shopping that you can look forward to. Some of the most popular shopping malls here include Doota, Migliore and Good Morning City. Bupyeong Underground Shopping Mall It is outside of Seoul. This space is huge and getting lost here is pretty easy so hold onto small kids while visiting. The prices are very reasonable and expect to find everything from clothes to accessories for all ages and sizes, quite conveniently. If you don't mind travelling a distance, this place is quite an experience. Places to visit: Things to do: Ulleungdo Lotte World, Seoul It is an island 120km away from Korea. With no flat land, it is composed of mountain ridges, cliffs, rocky shorelines and caves. Since there is no airport, one can take a ferry from any of the three ports on Korea's east coast, namely, Mukho, Pohang and Gangneung. You can walk around the rocky cliff shoreline between Dodong and Jeodong, an area that was not accessible previously. Ulleungdo has quite a number of festivals, the best part being that most are impromptu ones, so expect the unexpected. In Jeodong, you can walk up and around a gorgeous waterfall which provides most of the drinking water for the community. The Dokdo Observatory overlooks the Dodong Harbour and can be reached by a cable car by a short walk from Dodong. The observatory sits on top of a mountain peak. The amusement park is spread over a huge area with spaces for department stores, folk museum, shopping mall, hotel, and restaurant. The ice skating rink is a major attraction for people of all age groups. The 'flying' balloons, laser and music shows, fantasy parades, 3D films and music shows are some things to try there. The Folk Museum takes you back in time by using techniques like dioramas, models on different scales to create a dramatic effect and moving waxworks. The outdoor Magic Island is in the middle of Seokchon Lake while you can watch musicals at the Charlotte Theatre. The price is included in the day-pass ticket for Lotte World Adventure and Magic Island. You can find things to keep everybody engaged at this place. Opening hours are 9:30 AM-10 PM from Monday to Thursday, and 9:30 AM -11 PM on Friday, Saturday and Sunday Discounts are available for children and after 4 PM. Chungcheong This is the lesser known region in South Korea and hence, less visited by travellers. It is a mix of spread out rice paddies, national parks and hidden islands. Expect people fleeing to Daecheon, an island, in July of every year during the mud festival. The small cities of Buyeo and Gongju are home to museums full of ornaments from the time of the Baekje Dynasty which also has had a huge influence on Japanese craft and regal tombs. Cheonan has the country's largest museum. Chungbuk has three national parks within its borders. Songnisan is the most popular coming in from Beopjusa, a highly picturesque temple near the park's main entrance. The eastern part of the region is mountainous and would be a treat for people hiking on the trail of Songnisan National Park. Expect to come across a few beautiful temples on the way. Seoul One can be easily spoilt in Seoul, the capital city of South Korea, with delicious aromas luring you from one restaurant to the other and between colourful kiosks and pop-ups that make it a delightful experience for people ready to experiment with their food. You can expect to treat yourself and/or your family to karaoke. The jjimjilbang bathhouses have hot pools and ice rooms to help you unwrap any jet lags or act as a healing escape from the city. You can also try their authentic green tea and various herbs meant to heal from hundreds of choices. Bukhasan is one of the world's most visited national parks and a must visit for anyone in the area. Seoul also has palaces that date from the late 14thcentury. Samcheongdang and Bukchon Hanok Village are a visual treat for people fond of street art and also have fewer travellers. Isadong is a favourite for people looking forward to tryig out eating specialities in the country. Gyeonggi and Gangwon These are South Korea's northernmost provinces. Incheon and Suwon are listed on Everland Theme Park, Seoul The amusement park has five sections: European Adventure, Global Fair, ZooTopia, Magic Land, and American Adventure. The provision of Sky Cruise gondola and Skyway chair lift make navigation easier for people wanting to enjoy views instead of walking. The K-Pop holograms pull the young adult crowd majorly. The Lost Valley Safari Ride is an open air vehicle which helps the visitors get up and close with the animals such as elephants, zebras, giraffes, to name a few. Safari World, the other ride, uses a closed bus to get the visitors inside the world of grizzly bears, white tigers and lions. The T Express ride is a must try. It is a wooden roller coaster approximately 200 feet tall and utilises 5,000 feet of track.all in all, you can expect a full day of activities here. Weekdays: 10 AM-10 PM; Saturdays: 10 AM-8 PM; Sundays and Public Holidays: 9:30 AM-10 PM Admission: One-Day Ticket 46,000 won; Afternoon Ticket (4:30 PM) 38,000 won The Garden of Morning Calm, Gyeonggi-do The name of the Garden of Morning Calm originated from when Rabindranath Tagore, Indian poet and philosopher, called Korea 'the Land of Morning Calm.' The Garden of Morning Calm is decorated with many plants and has different landscapes that follow the four Korean seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The design of the garden focuses on the curves, spaces, asymmetric balance, and Korea's unique beauty to express classic elegance and fabulousness. There are festivals and exhibitions throughout the year depending on the season of your visit. Flowers are in bloom from March to November. However, the Lighting Festival period is during the winter season when all of the foliage is lit up with light and the area seems like a place right out of a fairytale.
