DESTINATION 2: KOREA



The Korean Peninsula between 124'11' E and 131' 53' E Longitude, 33' 07' N and 43' 01' N Latitude sits in the center of the East Asian world, facing Manchuria and China to the west and Russian Siberia to the north with its back toward Japan.
At their closest point, Korea and China are only about 110 miles (177 km) apart across the Yellow Sea. About 193 km (120 mi) across the Korea Strait (Tsushima Strait) from the Korean seaport of Pusan lies Japan's main island of Honshu. 


Location: 
South Korea 
claims a 22 km (12 nm) territorial limit from 
its 2,413 km (1,499 mi) coastline, but only 6 km 
(3 nm) into the Korea Strait.


Picture:

Some 25 million South Koreans -- about half the population -- travel abroad at least once a year, but it’s safe to assume that most haven't seen all the beautiful sights within the country.


This is the places that I wanna to go travel coming soon in Korean country.

1) Uleung Island Seaside Road (울릉도 해안도로)

Uleung Island was known as Dagelet to Europeans. 
Uleung Island, nicknamed "Mysterious Island", is a popular weekend getaway spot for Seoulites.
Curious rock formations, shore cliffs and numerous waterfalls adorn the island’s Seaside Road.
Anyone planning to walk or bike their way around Uleung Island should make sure they set aside enough time, as they will inevitably stop countless times to admire the glorious view.
Uleung-eup, Uleung-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do (경북 울릉군 울릉읍)
 

2) Bomun Pavilion, Gyeongju (경주 보문정)

A pavilion for all seasons. 
Gyeongju, an ancient capital of the Shilla Dynasty, boasts the nickname "a museum with no walls." Bomun Pavilion, a small wooden gazebo standing over a quiet duck pond, is a great spot to experience Korea’s spring; the cherry blossoms fluttering over the pond provide an exquisite sight. In fact, it's the perfect place to view all of Korea's markedly different seasons: summer's lush green leaves, fall's scarlet and mustard foliage, and winter's blankets of snow.

3) Anapji (Anap Pond) (경주 안압지)

There are lotus flowers under there somewhere.
This man-made pond was created during the Shilla Dynasty approximately 1,500 years ago.
Three buildings stand on three artificial islands while patches of lotus flowers frame the pond.
Gorgeous exterior lighting that go on after sunset create a magical night view.

 I hope my dream to go to KOREA will be coming true.....('',)
