Guide to South Korea?
Seoul today is a study of contradictions; an ultra-modern
metropolis rivalling Tokyo and Hong Kong, blended with an ancient
spirituality and culture.
Here palaces and Buddhist temples rub shoulders with Daewoo car
factories. On Insadong-gil, north central Seoul's premier shopping
street, the 'Hermit Kingdom' visibly loosens up, whether you're
browsing for make-up boxes or silk paintings, kimch'i pots or ginseng
- all can be found here.
South Korea's palaces may be from the Yi Dynasty, but its hydroelectric
plants are straight out of the 21st century. Though comparably shrimp-like
to its 'whale' neighbours Russia, China and Japan, the country gained
in the economic upsurge in the Nineties.
Gyeongju (or Kyongju) is a small city that doubles as an open-air
museum. It's on UNESCO's list of the ten most important ancient
cultural cities, and there are Silla temples, pagodas, weapons and
tombs in abundance. More are being discovered all the time.
But perhaps the most surprising thing about South Korea, is the
population's passion for nature. To understand why, you just need
to visit either Soraskan or Songnisan National park.
