Seoul

Day 1-2

Seoul is very beautiful and breathtaking city. You are going to have memorable and dream time there. There is the tallest skyscraper that opens the greatest view of whole city. Moreover, there are plenty of perfect parks and tasty street food.

Gyeongbokgung Palace

Day 2

Gyeongbokgung, also known as Gyeongbokgung Palace, was the main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty. Built in 1395, it is located in northern Seoul, South Korea. The largest of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon dynasty, Gyeongbokgung served as the home of the royal family and the seat of government. Gyeongbokgung continued to serve as the main palace of the Joseon dynasty until the premises were destroyed by fire during the Imjin War (1592–1598) and abandoned for two centuries. However, in the 19th century, all of the palace's 7,700 rooms were restored under the leadership of Prince Regent Heungseon during the reign of King Gojong. Some 500 buildings were restored on a site of over 40 hectares.[1][2] The architectural principles of ancient Korea were incorporated into the tradition and appearance of the Joseon royal court. In the early 20th century, much of the palace was systematically destroyed by Imperial Japan during its occupation of Korea. On January 21, 1963, it was designated as a cultural property. Since the 1990s, the walled palace complex is gradually being restored to its original form. It also houses the National Palace Museum and the National Folk Museum within the premises of the complex.

Bukhansan

Day 2-3

Bukhansan, or Bukhan Mountain, is a mountain on the northern periphery of Seoul, South Korea. There are three major peaks, Baegundae 836.5 meters, Insubong 810.5 meters, Mangyeongdae 787.0 meters. Because of its height and the fact that it borders a considerable portion of the city, Bukhansan is a major landmark visible from most city districts. The name "Bukhansan" means "mountain north of Han River", referring to the fact that it is the northern border of the city. During the Joseon era, the peaks marked the extreme northern boundary of Seoul. Bukhansan is the highest mountain within Seoul city boundaries. Apart from Bukhansan, there are seven other mountains including Dobongsan and Suraksan that are over 600 meters high within the city. Popular throughout the year, Bukhansan, and Bukhansan National Park, which was formed in 1983, are renowned for birdwatching, hiking and rockclimbing. Bukhansan attracts a large number of hikers; around 5 million per year.

Busan

Day 3-5

Busan is the second-largest city in South Korea, with plenty of opportunities for sightseeing. If you are a traveler who has been searching for a new place to experience, a trip to Busan in South Korea is strongly recommended. Busan has dozens of attractions and activities available. Even with a typical one-week stay full of adventures, it is unlikely that you will see half of what Busan has to offer. From the mountains to the coastlines and everything within the city itself, Busan is definitely a city that requires multiple trips just to be able to experience it all. The city of Busan is composed of so many different areas that there’s no way you will be bored for even a minute during your visit. You barely have to go half a mile before finding yourself in a completely new neighborhood. Whether you are interested in history, being out in nature or sightseeing, there are plenty of things to do in Busan.

Jeju-do

Day 5-7

Jeju Island has been inhabited by modern humans since the early Neolithic period. There is no discovered historical record of the founding or early history of Tamna. One legend tells that the three divine founders of the country, Go, Yang, and Bu, emerged from three holes in the ground in the 24th century BC. These holes, known as the Samseonghyeol, are still preserved in Jeju City. Until 938 AD, the island was an independent kingdom called Tamna (which means 'island country') when it became a vassal state of Korea under the Goryeo dynasty. In 1404, Taejong of Joseon placed the island under firm central control and brought the Tamna kingdom to an end.
