6 Sights & Landmarks in Gangbuk-gu That You Shouldn't Miss
Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

I was able to get close and personal with the residing monks and nuns of Hwagyesa during my overnight stay. It involved doing 108 prostrations and waking up at the crack of dawn, which I feel very proud to have done! Recommended for anybody needing a momentary break from the hustle and bustle of city life. Very close to Suyu station and Bukhansan mountain for convenience.
