South Korea is a land rich in cultural heritage and esoteric beauty that somehow remained far removed from the Asian tourist trail.

Seoul, officially the Seoul Special City, is the capital and largest city of South Korea. A megacity with a population of over 10 million, it is one of the largest cities in the world. The Seoul National Capital Area is the world's second largest metropolitan area with over 24.5 million inhabitants, which includes the Incheon metropolis and most of Gyeonggi province. Almost half of South Korea's population live in the Seoul National Capital Area, and nearly a quarter in Seoul itself, making it the country's foremost economic, political, and cultural center.
Seoul has been a major settlement for over 2,000 years, with its foundation dating back to 18 B.C. when Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, established its capital in what is now south-east Seoul. It continued as the capital of Korea during the Joseon Dynasty and the Korean Empire.
The Seoul National Capital Area is home to four UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Changdeokgung, Hwaseong Fortress, Jongmyo Shrine and the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty.
Today, Seoul is considered to be a leading global city, ranking among the top ten global cities in the Global Cities Index of 2010. It is one of the world's top ten financial and commercial centers, home to major multinational conglomerates such as Samsung, LG and Hyundai-Kia. In 2008, Seoul was named the world's sixth most economically powerful city by Forbes.
Seoul has a highly technologically advanced infrastructure. Its Digital Media City is the world's first complex for IT and multimedia applications. Seoul was the first city to feature DMB, a digital mobile TV technology and WiBro, a wireless high-speed mobile internet service.DVD: NTSC, Subtitled, ColorAround The World, Travel DVD, Seoul, South Korea Travel Company: ISBN: 7884204738 List Price: Amazon Price: $15.88 Used Price: $14.99 
South Korea is a land caught between ancient tradition and modern times and no other region in the Far East contains such a large variety of fascinating impressions within such a small area. Since the Cold War and the Korean War the Korean Peninsula has been divided into two countries and the hostile relationship that exists between socialist North Korea and the democratic republic in the south casts its shadow on South Korea's metropolis of Seoul. Changdeokgung, The Palace Of Shining Virtue, was built at the beginning of the fifteenth century and together with the Gyeongbokgung, that is located nearby, it was the centre of power of the Joseon Dynasty. It is divided into two sections with the administrative and residential buildings situated at the front of the complex. The historic old town of Suwon is dominated by the mighty fortress complex of Hwaseong that was built at the end of the eighteenth century during the Joseon epoch. A two hour walk along Hwaseong's many gates, walls and watchtowers highlights its monumental dimensions. Most of Korea's historic sites are located in the south and the Andang region is particularly popular. The Buseoksa Temple, the Temple Of Levitating Stone, is one of the oldest sanctuaries in the region. The Haeinsa Temple is the main attraction in the Taegu region and is the most important temple in South Korea. It is situated on a mountain range in the Kaya-San National Park and contains ninety buildings that are adorned with various magnificent sacred works of art. South Korea impresses not only with its many historic and cultural treasures... but also its varied landscape. Be in no doubt, the Land Of The Silent Dawn has lost nothing of its unique and exotic charm!This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

Jeju Island, also known as the "Island of the Gods," is a popular vacation spot for Koreans and many Japanese. It remains one of the top honeymoon destinations for Korean newlyweds. The island's mixture of volcanic rock, frequent rains, and temperate climate, make it very similar to the Hawaiian Islands in the U.S. The island offers visitors a wide range of activities: hiking on Halla-san (South Korea's highest peak), catching sunrises and sunsets over the ocean, viewing majestic waterfalls, riding horses, or just lying around on the sandy beaches.
Although tourism is one of the main industries on the island, many of the hotels and other tourist areas are run by mainland companies, so much of the income never gets put back into the local economy. Also, since the attractions are geared towards tourists, many of the entrance fees can be hefty (although the locally owned and operated ones tend to be cheaper). Similar to Gyeongju and some other areas, local residents can enter most places for free or for a steeply discounted price.DVD: Subtitled, NTSCAround The World, Travel DVD, Jeju Island, South Korea Travel Company: ISBN: 7884204452 List Price: Amazon Price: Used Price: $14.99
