Seoul: in the rhythm of the capital

Insadong: A picturesque district full of souvenir shops, tea houses, and boutiques.
Jogyesa: The central sacred temple of Buddhism in South Korea, a place to find spiritual enlightenment.
Gyeongbokgung: The main palace of the Joseon Dynasty, with magnificent symmetry—a true architectural masterpiece.

Songnisan National Park: Majestic mountains and a UNESCO World Heritage temple.

After the hustle and bustle of the city, we headed to Songnisan National Park, famous for its beautiful views.

In the valley between the mountains of Songnisan National Park lies the Buddhist temple Beopjusa ("The Place Where the Dharma Resides"). One of the oldest temples in Korea, it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Yongin Folk Village

In this open-air museum, we were greeted by wonderful weather and beautiful autumn views: maples, ginkgo trees, and persimmons.

A fan dance and a unique intimate concert by the performer on the traditional string instrument, the gayageum, were a pleasant addition to the program.

Maisan Provincial Park: magical “Horse Ear” formations

Here, among unusual rock formations called “Horse Ears,” we spent an unforgettable day. The unique natural shapes and temples on these slopes create an atmosphere of enchantment. This place seems specially designed for meditation and contemplation.

Jeonju: traditional Korean houses with tiled roofs

In Jeonju, we immersed ourselves in the charm of traditional Korean architecture. Known for its hanoks — wooden houses with tiled roofs, Jeonju’s streets give the feeling of traveling back in time. We tried Korean national dishes and enjoyed the beauty of the old city.
