seoul is an amazing combination of contrasts.

While walking along the busy streets of downtown seoul,

you may suddenly find the gate of an old palace. In the boisterous city center,

you can stop for a while and rest alongside a stream.

Right after you step out of a modern shopping mall, you encounter a vibrant

traditional market, while as soon as you get off the subway, you can enjoy green

forest and riverside parks. Whenever you turn your head or blink your eyes,

entirely different landscapes and attractions catch your attention—this is our seoul.

As the newest trends are added to its long history, Seoul is becoming even

more dynamic. Culture from the city spreads beyond Asia and fascinates

people around the globe. Seoul—where tradition and modernity, nature and

high technology coexist—marks the beginning of a new urban voyage.

Seoul is an amazing combination of contrasts.

While walking along the busy streets of downtown Seoul,

you may suddenly find the gate of an old palace. In the boisterous city center,

you can stop for a while and rest alongside a stream.

Right after you step out of a modern shopping mall, you encounter a vibrant

traditional market, while as soon as you get off the subway, you can enjoy green

forest and riverside parks. Whenever you turn your head or blink your eyes,

entirely different landscapes and attractions catch your attention—this is our Seoul.
