Seoul, Korea is at once a futuristic, high-tech metropolis with modern skyscrapers and pop culture and a deeply traditional city of temples, palaces, and Buddhist culture. The city's convention hall, Dongdaemun Design Plaza, is an example of cutting-edge architecture with a rooftop park. At the other end of the spectrum is the famous 14th century Gyeongbokgung Palace, constructed during the Joseon Dynasty. History buffs will want to visit Suwon's Swaseong Fortress, a Korean castle and UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Jogyesa Buddhist Temple, an ancient temple of Zen Buddhism. Foodies would love the Korean Night Dining Tour, and shopaholics won't want to miss a day in Myeongdong for the latest in fashion and Korean cosmetics.
