What's up everybody, Doc here and let me tell you we're about to go on a wild ride
00:07
today.
00:08
We're talking about the top ten most incredible places you absolutely have to see in South
00:12
Korea.
00:13
From ancient palaces to bustling city streets, South Korea has something for everyone.
00:18
We're talking about places so stunning, so unbelievable, you'll think they're
00:23
straight out of a dream.
00:24
And the best part?
00:25
You don't have to imagine it because I'm about to show you exactly what it's like
00:29
to be there.
00:30
So sit back, relax and get ready to be amazed because this is going to be epic.
00:37
First up, we're teleporting back in time to the year 1395 to Gyeongbokgung Palace,
00:43
the largest and arguably most stunning of Seoul's five grand palaces.
00:48
Imagine walking through these massive gates, feeling the weight of history all around you.
00:53
This place has seen it all, from royal ceremonies to invasions, and you can feel that energy
00:58
in every brick and tile.
01:00
Picture yourself strolling through the courtyard, surrounded by lush gardens and traditional
01:04
Korean buildings.
01:05
You've got to see these guys in their traditional costumes.
01:08
It's like stepping right into a history book.
01:13
Next stop, paradise.
01:15
We're heading to Jeju Island, a volcanic island off the coast of South Korea known
01:20
for its stunning natural beauty.
01:22
Picture this, white sand beaches, crystal clear turquoise waters and lush volcanic landscapes.
01:29
We're talking lava caves to explore, waterfalls to chase and hiking trails with breathtaking
01:35
views.
01:36
You can hike up Mount Hallasan, the highest mountain in South Korea, or take a relaxing
01:41
stroll along the coast and soak up the sun.
01:44
Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or just looking to relax and recharge, Jeju Island
01:49
has something for you.
01:54
Get ready to be transported back in time, because we're about to explore Bukchon Hanok
01:59
Village, a charming neighbourhood in the heart of Seoul.
02:03
Imagine strolling down narrow alleyways lined with traditional Korean houses called hanoks
02:09
with their elegant sloping roofs and intricate wooden details.
02:13
You can wander through the streets, pop into tea houses for a taste of traditional Korean
02:17
tea, or even rent a hanbok, a traditional Korean outfit, and really immerse yourself
02:23
in the culture.
02:25
One of the coolest things about Bukchon Hanok Village is that people actually live and work
02:29
in these traditional homes.
02:31
It's a living, breathing museum where you can experience Korean culture first hand.
02:39
Next up, we're heading to one of the most iconic landmarks in Seoul, Namsan Seoul Tower.
02:46
This towering structure stands tall on Mount Namsan, offering breathtaking panoramic views
02:51
of the entire city.
02:53
Trust me, the pictures don't even do it justice.
02:56
You can see everything from here, from the skyscrapers of Gangnam to the mountains in
03:01
the distance.
03:02
Now, for all you lovebirds out there, Namsan Seoul Tower is also a famous spot for love
03:07
locks.
03:08
Couples from all over the world come here to attach padlocks to the fence, symbolising
03:13
their love and commitment.
03:15
Even if you're not a hopeless romantic, Namsan Seoul Tower is still a must visit.
03:23
Get ready to lace up your hiking boots because we're about to explore the breathtaking beauty
03:27
of Seoraksan National Park.
03:30
This natural wonder is home to towering granite peaks, cascading waterfalls, lush forests,
03:36
and an abundance of wildlife.
03:38
Whether you're an experienced hiker or just looking for a scenic stroll, Seoraksan has
03:43
a trail for you.
03:44
You can challenge yourself with a climb to the summit of Ulsanbawi Rock, a massive granite
03:50
peak with incredible views, or take a more leisurely hike to the beautiful Bilyeong Falls.
03:56
Seoraksan National Park is a must visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
04:04
Prepare to be amazed because we're about to visit another stunning royal palace, Changdeokgung.
04:11
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is known for its beautiful gardens and serene atmosphere.
04:17
Unlike Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung feels more secluded and peaceful, with hidden
04:22
gardens and secret pathways to discover.
04:26
One of the highlights of Changdeokgung Palace is the secret garden, a hidden oasis of natural
04:31
beauty.
04:32
It's like stepping into a different world, with ponds, pavilions, and lush greenery.
04:38
You can easily spend hours getting lost in its beauty.
04:42
Changdeokgung Palace is a must visit for anyone who wants to experience the beauty and serenity
04:48
of traditional Korean architecture and landscaping.
04:55
Calling all shopaholics!
04:56
Get ready for a shopping spree like no other in Myeongdong, Seoul's most famous shopping
05:01
district.
05:02
Imagine a street filled with trendy fashion, cosmetics, skincare, and street food, all
05:07
buzzing with energy and excitement.
05:09
You can find everything here, from high-end designer brands to affordable Korean fashion,
05:14
and the best part, you can haggle for even better deals.
05:18
Don't be afraid to put your bargaining skills to the test and see what kind of deals you
05:22
can score.
05:23
Myeongdong isn't just about shopping, it's also a food lover's paradise.
05:27
You'll find street vendors selling delicious Korean snacks, like taeokbokki and Korean
05:32
fried chicken.
05:34
Myeongdong is a must visit for anyone who loves shopping food and experiencing the vibrant
05:39
energy of Seoul.
05:43
Pack your swimsuit and grab your sunscreen, because we're heading to Haeundae Beach,
05:48
Busan's most famous beach.
05:51
Imagine golden sand stretching for miles, crystal clear blue waters, and a vibrant atmosphere
05:57
that's perfect for relaxation and fun in the sun.
06:01
Whether you're looking to sunbathe, swim, build sandcastles, or try your hand at water
06:06
sports, Haeundae Beach has something for everyone.
06:10
And when you're ready for a break from the beach, there are plenty of restaurants, cafes,
06:15
and bars lining the shore where you can grab a bite to eat or a refreshing drink.
06:20
Haeundae Beach is a must visit for anyone visiting Busan.
06:27
Get ready for a culinary adventure, because we're about to dive into the heart of Korean
06:31
street food at Gwangjang Market.
06:34
Imagine yourself surrounded by stalls piled high with colourful and aromatic dishes, each
06:39
more tempting than the last.
06:41
You can find all sorts of traditional Korean street food here, from savoury pancakes called
06:46
bindaetteok to spicy mung bean pancakes called jeon.
06:51
And of course, no trip to Gwangjang Market would be complete without trying the famous
06:55
mayak gimbap, bite-sized seaweed rice rolls filled with seasoned vegetables.
07:01
But Gwangjang Market isn't just about food.
07:04
It's also a great place to experience the local culture and shop for traditional Korean
07:09
goods.
07:10
Gwangjang Market is a must visit for anyone who wants to experience the true flavours
07:14
of Korea and immerse themselves in the local culture.
07:20
Our final destination takes us to a place unlike any other, the Demilitarized Zone,
07:26
or DMZ, the border between North and South Korea.
07:30
This heavily guarded buffer zone is a stark reminder of the Korean War and the divided
07:35
peninsula.
07:37
You can take a guided tour of the DMZ and visit key sites like the Third Tunnel of Aggression
07:42
and the Joint Security Area, JSA, where North and South Korean soldiers stand face to face.
07:50
It's a surreal experience to stand at the border and look into North Korea, a country
07:54
shrouded in mystery.
07:57
Visiting the DMZ is not your typical tourist destination, but it's an experience you won't
08:01
find anywhere else in the world.
08:07
So there you have it, folks.
08:08
The ten most incredible places you absolutely have to add to your South Korea bucket list.
