질문

Could you recommend me some places to go in Korea.

대답

Good. Well it depends what you want to do.
How much money are you taking and how long are you planing to be here?

OK, good, because I think there are a lot of places in Korea if you want to save money.

If you want to save money while your trip, I would recommend you about two places.

The first one would be a Gyeongbokgung.
Gyeongbokgung is really nice place.
Gyeongbokgung was a palace in Joseon Dynasty.
You can see all of Korean traditional buildings. and Korean culture and a lot of traditional performances in Gyeongbokgung.
Moreover, Myeongdong and Namdaemon which are famous as shopping, Insa-dong and Bukchon Hanok Village are next to the Gyeonbokgung.

And the second one would have to be Junju Hanok Village in Junju province.
There are many guest houses around the Junju Hanok Village.
It takes 2 and a half hours from here in Seoul.
You can see korean tradition houses like Gyeongbokgung.
But building style is different. Gyeongbokgung was for Royal family and King and Junju Hanok Village was for populace.
Today both are for tourist.
And there are famous Makkolli Village near by Junju Hanok Village.
You can enjoy korean traditional rice wine called Makkolli.
Junju province is the most famous region in Korea in terms of rece wine.

In addition, if you have a more time. You would have to attend the Temple Stay.
There are a lot of Temples near Seoul.
All of programs are 2 days and one night. You can have a very unique experience in temple.
It cost very cheap.
