The capital of the Republic of Korea is a huge metropolis, which, if you count the suburbs of Seoul, is home to, according to the most conservative estimates, almost 30 million people. An important economic and financial center of Asia, Seoul attracts the attention of not only business people, but also tourists, because there is something to see in the Korean capital.
It does not interfere
Despite its size and modern design, Seoul has many outdoor activities. Even an ordinary day off, locals prefer to spend outside the city, enjoying the magnificent scenery and fresh air.
Gwangaksan Natural Park, located in the suburbs of Seoul, boasts not only a beautiful lake and numerous fountains, but also the opportunity to go mountaineering. Neighboring peaks are storming both old and young, because in Kwanaksan there are several mountain routes of the most diverse in complexity.
The Suraksan and Puramsan Mountains are located in the northern suburbs of Seoul. And although their height barely exceeds half a kilometer, on weekends in the Novongu area there are enough people who want to go in for mountain tourism. Fans of photography enjoy capturing the surrounding landscapes, while picnic lovers have a get-together in the valley overlooking the surrounding peaks.
Shopping is a pleasant dope
The countries of Southeast Asia have long established themselves as especially favorable for shopping. The region produces many goods of well-known world brands and is sold at very attractive prices. In this sense, the suburbs of Seoul are real "fishing spots" for those who like to go shopping abroad:
- Several modern shopping centers have been built on Rodeo Street in the Seoul suburb of Kurogu, southwest of the city center, where you can buy a variety of shoes, clothing and accessories for both adults and children. Landmark - metro station "Kasan Digithol Tandji". Prices in trade pavilions are wholesale, because merchants from other countries buy goods here. At retail, everything is sold on an equally large scale.
- In the Seoul suburb of Gangnam-gu, the attention of guests is invariably attracted by the shopping and entertainment complex COEX Convention & Exhibition Center, where you can buy thousands of goods of various brands from underwear to electronics. The complex has many cafes with Korean cuisine, cinemas and children's rooms. The pride of the COEX Convention & Exhibition Center is an underground oceanarium, where visitors are shown dozens of species of representatives of the local underwater flora and fauna.
