    https://33.media.tumblr.com/aef6c79bb60f722d553ccd12d0755ec2/tumblr_inline_o5vasp6YT41tygjd4_500.gif

    Cafes and little bakeries are everywhere in South Korea. They are meeting spots and people will stay there over coffee for hours before going elsewhere. The themed cafes are not to be missed as well!

    3. Cherry Blossoms

    https://38.media.tumblr.com/bdf4b67e6d2cae45451bbebf06323ce6/tumblr_inline_o5vauhXrgb1tygjd4_540.gif

    Just like its neighboring country Japan, Korea is also a country with natural beauty during the spring. There are many cherry festivals where you can enjoy strolling around and looking at the cherry trees.

    4. Go shopping

    https://33.media.tumblr.com/85a7a5258e335e3e5d301460ed4647ff/tumblr_inline_o5vbfq7uNb1tygjd4_500.gif

    Korea’s got all these trendy stores that don’t exist in the United States, and its young people care a lot about fashion. The big department stores like Lotte and Hyundai are great for exploring, and the markets like Namdaemun and Dongdaemun are also must-visits.

    5. A land of beauty

    https://38.media.tumblr.com/8768e2bfaddbb25137c40df707354c18/tumblr_inline_o5vax7Z1o81tygjd4_500.gif

    According to Asian standards, Korea has the most handsome guys and most beautiful ladies. And Korean beauty is not limited to famous actors and actresses!

    6. Get tropical in Jeju

    https://38.media.tumblr.com/aefd8737f600ba8a269d6d7489d35593/tumblr_inline_o5vbt0go7B1tygjd4_540.gif

    Jeju is a tropical island off the Southern Coast of the Korean Peninsula. It is known as the “Hawaii of Korea,” as it shares many of the same features such as a warm climate, beautiful beaches and tropical mountains.

    7. Cultural heritage

    https://40.media.tumblr.com/fc933dc5c58988d86af613b310daf221/tumblr_inline_o5vbvh768m1tygjd4_1280.jpg

    South Korea is a land with a long history. It is home to eleven UNESCO World Heritage sites. It has lots of palaces which are so big that you just have to discover what is hiding inside.

    8. Great nightlife

    https://33.media.tumblr.com/6e69915bdf5670994eea7580c34a4e1e/tumblr_inline_o5vbireTo21tygjd4_500.gif

    In Seoul in particular, whether you like to kick back and enjoy a beer with some friends, or dance at a nightclub, the city has something for you. Seoul is a city that may shine even brighter at night than during the daytime. Gangnam and Hongdae are very popular nightlife areas that are worth seeing.

    9. The subway

    The stations are also clean and easy to navigate; both the stations and trains have high-speed WiFi that doesn’t stop working even when everybody is using their phone. Some subway stations have big markets that are worth exploring for the cheap clothes and atmosphere too.

    10. It’s K-Pop’s country-of-origin

    https://33.media.tumblr.com/5359a94a447533a5b846e7f40fd0b36c/tumblr_inline_o5vb7icT0Y1tygjd4_500.gif
