Bukhansan National Park
In the northernmost part of Seoul, there is the Bukhansan mountain range - a natural pearl of South Korea. This area has been the national park of the same name in Korea since 1983. Once during the Joseon Dynasty, the massif served as a city border, but now this place has become incredibly popular among tourists and avid climbers. Although this mountain range does not differ in its impressive height - about 850 meters above the sea - an incredibly beautiful view of the city and its panoramas opens from its peaks. The area within the reserve is replete with historical monuments and various artifacts, and 14 hiking trails have been developed here.

But the Korean masterpiece "Rainbow Fountain", perhaps, will not leave a single visitor indifferent. Nowhere else in the world can you find a spectacle of a similar beauty and scale, created by man using water jets. Over a distance of 1.1 kilometers, hundreds of water streams burst from nozzles located on the Panpo Bridge, describe a huge arc and collapse into the Hangang River.

Jongmyo Shrine
The shrine was founded in the 14th century, at the dawn of the Joseon Dynasty, and has long served as a royal sanctuary. For many centuries in a row, the traditional burial ceremonies of Korean emperors were held here, the commemoration of royal ancestors was performed and rituals of sacrifice to spirits were performed. All these traditions appeared precisely in the Joseon era, but since then centuries have passed, the policy of Korea and the form of government have changed, and the rites of remembrance of the departed are still observed, and the sanctuary itself still retains its historical and cultural significance for the state.

Temple of Bongeunsa
The ancient Buddhist monastery is located on the slope of Mount Sudo, just a couple of hundred meters from the vibrant civilization of the metropolis.

Despite such a close location of civilization, not a single sound violates the idyllic harmony of this place. The temple building itself is very ancient - it dates back to the 8th century, and is a classic example of Korean architecture. Of course, not all the buildings of the temple have survived to this day, much has been restored, but brought to the form as close as possible to the original.

Bukchon Village
In the heart of the South Korean capital is a traditional settlement, whose buildings are so beautiful and authentic that this place looks more like an open-air museum than a village. Nevertheless, this is a real residential area, and to this day people live in its cozy one-story houses, whose way of life is fundamentally different from the lifestyle of an inhabitant of the metropolis. It is especially unusual to observe this spectacle against the background of high-rise modern buildings of the city, rushing to the very heavens. The fabulous atmosphere of the settlement is conducive to wandering around the narrow streets of the village or staying at one of the local cafes with home cooking.
