Seoul: Korea's Modern Heart and Thousand-Year-Old Capital
Seoul, the capital of South Korea and a global metropolis with a population of more than 10 million, is located in the northwestern part of the Korean Peninsula, with the Han River running through the city, blending ancient traditions with modern vigor. As Hanyang, the capital of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), it retains ancient palaces such as Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace, and traditional Korean houses with green tiles and flying eaves can still be seen in the traditional Hanok district of Bukchon. Modern Seoul is the economic center, with the Gangnam district being home to the financial and fashion industries, and Hongdae, Earda, and other young people's areas full of trendy culture, from which K-pop and the Korean Wave have swept across the globe. Visitors can climb Namsan Tower for a panoramic view and Myeongdong for shopping and dining to experience the city's diverse charms.
