About South Korea
Gyeongbokgung, built in 1395, was the main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty, which ruled Korea for five centuries. Visitors enter through the great Gwanghwamun Gate and walk past throne halls to the Hyangwonjeong Pavilion, a small hexagonal pavilion on an island in a lotus pond.
Nearby, Bukchon Hanok Village keeps hundreds of hanok, traditional Korean houses with curved tiled roofs and wooden frames, built around courtyards. Many visitors explore the area wearing hanbok, the traditional Korean dress.
Jeju, off the south coast, is one of the New7Wonders of Nature. Its crater of Seongsan Ilchulbong rose from the sea about 5,000 years ago, basalt columns line its shore and Jeongbang Waterfall falls straight into the sea.
