- Synopsis
- For the traveler, Korea is a country whose time has come. Korea is a country with a powerful identity of its own. A good neighbor to China, a beneficiary over the millennia of all the wealth of Chinese cultural achievement, it has never failed to interpret these gifts in its own way, infusing them with flavors found nowhere else. There is nothing in the world, for instance, like Korean food, or classical Korean pottery, or modern Korean dance. Travelers attracted by Korea's heritage will find all manner of things to absorb them, from mountain temples to city palaces, from villages unchanged for centuries to the tombs of kings who died 1,500 or more years ago. But even for those who just want a holiday, Korea has a lot to offer: the wooded mountains of the numerous national parks, excellent beaches, the voluptuously beautiful island of Cheju-do in the south, which has almost everything and is quite unspoiled. Seoul, a crazy shambles just a year or two back when they were building the subway, is now much calmer and can be negotiated with ease. Its covered markets with their hundreds of little eateries offer an incredible banquet for the senses, even if you don't eat anything. And for high-quality clothes, shoes and bags, the city remains the bargain basement of the world.
