From the skyscrapers of Seoul to the beaches of Busan, Korea is a country unlike any other. Seoul writer Loni Kim shows you how to get to know it like a local with Moon South Korea. Inside you’ll find:
  • Flexible itineraries, whether you’ve got ten days to explore the best of the country or a shorter trip staying in Seoul
  • Local flavors: Sample K-BBQ or Korean fried chicken in Seoul, try tteokbokki or kimbap at the food stalls in Gwangjang Market, or feast on fresh seafood in Jeju Island.
  • Cultural experiences like a temple stay, renting a hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) to wear while visiting palaces and traditional villages, taking a taekwondo (Korean martial arts) class, or visiting popular K-drama filming locations
  • Outdoor adventures like hiking Hallasan, a dormant volcano and the tallest mountain in South Korea, surfing Songjeong Beach in Busan, or taking in panoramic views from the Samaksan Mountain Lake Cable Car
  • Exploring history through touring the DMZ and looking out at North Korea from the Odusan Observatory, or traveling back in time to the ancient city of Gyeongju
  • The best of Seoul’s shopping and nightlife: sing your heart out at a noraebang (singing room) in Gangnam, shop at K-beauty stores in Myeongdong, or browse traditional Korean crafts, antiques, and tea houses of the Insadong neighborhood.
  • Full-color photos and detailed mapsthroughout
  • Reliable background information on the landscape, customs and etiquette, and history
