What to do and see in Gangnam-gu, South Korea: The Best Shopping

October 30, 2021 Sheron Bogner

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.

Received an invitation from Seoul Metropolitan Gov. I really enjoyed my visit there. A lot of exhibition being displayed. So happy to learn about EXO history and also NCT. I am a big fan. There is also a souvenir shop where you can buy official merchandise of your favourite group. Price is reasonable.
