South Korea firmly entered the list of the most visited Asian countries by tourists. Residents of the Far Eastern regions of Russia pay special attention to it, and geographic proximity is the determining factor here. For the rest of the â…™ land area, South Korea is still exotic, like Japan or Vietnam, which, however, does not in any way affect the flow of tourists to the country of morning freshness.
Along with the classic tourist attractions - great beaches, tons of attractions, ski and thermal resorts and great shopping, South Korea is famous for much more amazing things. Among them are drunken bullfights, sauerkraut equated to a national treasure, a skyscraper covered in gold, diving grandmothers from Jeju Island, and much more.
