Bukchon Hanok Village
Bukchon is located between Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, and Jongmyo Shrine, and is a representative traditional residential area in Seoul where traditional Korean houses are concentrated. It is also called a street museum in the city center because of many historical sites, cultural properties, and folk materials.
-
Cheonggyecheon Stream
Most of the areas around Cheonggyecheon Stream were concentrated with buildings over 4·50 years old, so it was acting as a factor that hindered the urban environment as well as a decrease in the resident population. Moreover, resolving the imbalance problem between the Gangnam and Gangbuk areas is also a task for balanced development in Seoul.
-
Seoul Museum of History
The Seoul Museum of History is a representative cultural center of Seoul that provides Seoul citizens and foreigners visiting Seoul with the opportunity to feel and experience the culture of Seoul by organizing and showing the history and traditional culture of the city

Incheon Open Port Nuri-Gil
The Incheon Open Port Nuri-gil, which was created in the area of the port near Incheon Station, is a theme road to walk while experiencing the history and culture of the modern port period. The Nuri-gil (Enjoying the World), called [Ole-gil in Incheon], is a walking tour course that has been operated since 2006 in Jung-gu, Incheon, and is a theme tour course where you can tour on foot while listening to interesting and informative explanations by a cultural tour commentator with extensive knowledge of cultural relics such as modern historical buildings.
A total of three walking courses will be divided around Incheon Station, and the one-hour course will start from Incheon Station to Chinatown Street, the Black Bean Noodles Museum, in front of the coastal cathedral, the Daebul Hotel Exhibition Hall, the Incheon Opening Museum, the Incheon Opening Port Modern Architecture Exhibition Hall, and the art platform.
-
Dong Hwa(Fairy Tale) Village Regeneration Site
Since the opening of the port in 1883, Songwol-dong has been a rich village where foreigners lived, but as the village ages, the number of empty houses increased and only the elderly remained. For this reason, in April 2013, murals were painted on the old walls with the theme of classical fairy tales and sculptures were built everywhere to improve the poor residential environment. Since the creation of Donghwa Village, this site has remained one of the success stories of Mural Village as it has become a popular tour site with Chinatown.
-
Incheon Urban History Museum
Under the theme of Incheon's urban development process, the Incheon Metropolitan Museum of History can see the city's history and transformation process of Incheon, which started anew as a modern city after opening the port in 1883. In the modern city hall on the first floor, you can see how Incheon's urban character and space have changed in the modern period from the opening of Jemulpo in 1883 to liberation in 1945.
-
Songdo Central Park
Located in the center of Songdo-dong, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, the park's first goal was to create a large green area for relaxation in the center of Songdo International City, where high-density residential and commercial areas are concentrated. It was created by taking advantage of the topographical characteristics of Korea in the international community, and inside the park are hills that express the mountain ranges of Korea, lakes that express the sea, and islands. An artificial lake that crosses the center of the park attracts seawater. On top of that, you can use water taxis, boats, and kayaks.

Seoul
The "Living and Breathing Dynamic" experience for Travellers
Discover SEOUL
In the 21st century, competition between cities and cities will be more intense than between countries. Accordingly, Seoul has designated the international financial and business industries, information and communication, digital content, fashion, and bio industries as its five strategic industries to become the center of Northeast Asia and is intensively fostering them. Seoul continues to evolve to be a livable environmental city, and in June 2005, a large park and Seoul Forest were opened.
On July 1, 2004, the Seoul Metropolitan Government implemented a major transportation system reform. The burden of public transportation fares was greatly reduced by introducing a tram-bus-linked transportation system along with the drastic installation of central bus lanes. In addition, by establishing a dual system of trunk and branch lines, and securing speed using central bus lanes, the oversaturated traffic situation in Seoul was effectively organized.
Currently, the Seoul Metropolitan Government is judged to have some aspect as an international city, and its vision is to become a world-class city in all fields, including culture, environment, welfare, and economy, in the 21st century. The first city pursued by the Seoul Metropolitan Government refers to a warm city full of people's fragrances, a pleasant and comfortable green city resembling nature, a vibrant city containing the world, and a long history and culture city, and Seoul will be reborn as a first-class city with global brand value when various projects promoted by the city are completed.
Seoul in August
Seoul has a reputation for its distinguished 4 different seasons. A tip for any visitor is to be prepared for anything – wear light layers and dress comfortably. It will be summer in August so the days will be hot during this time of year and somewhat humid all day. The average temperature for Seoul in August ranges from 26°C (minimum) to 35°C (maximum). Keep in mind temperatures can reach up to 37°C and there will be heavy rain.
