SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA Korea is a peninsula in East Asia, connected by land to Northeast China and the Russian Far East to the north, across the Yellow Sea from Beijing to its west, and separated from Japan by the Korea Strait to its east. The peninsula is divided into two de facto countries, although neither government acknowledges the other as a legitimate sovereign state: North Korea (Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea) South Korea (Republic of Korea) SEOUL Seoul is a huge city with several district articles containing sightseeing, restaurant, nightlife and accommodation listings — have a look at each of them. Changdeokgung (Changdeok Palace) is one of several palaces within the city of Seoul, and the only one inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Seoul (서울) is the capital of South Korea. With a municipal population of over 11.8 million, and a metropolitan population totaling over 25.6 million, Seoul is by far South Koreas largest city and one of East Asias financial and cultural epicenters. A fascinating blend of ancient traditions and cutting-edge digital technology, home to endless street food vendors and vast nightlife districts, an extraordinarily high-pressure educational system and serene Buddhist temples, a trend-setting youth culture and often crushing conformism, extraordinary architecture and endless monotonous rows of grey apartment buildings, Seoul is a city filled with stark contrasts.
