    Tourism  
    Buddhist temples, mountain climbing, hiking, beautiful scenery, hot springs, food, beaches, palaces, casinos, museums, snow skiing, national parks, cultural performances and shopping are all to be found in South Korea.

    The country's age-old search for tranquillity lingers in the shards of traditional culture and pockets of unspoiled scenery that remain. Visitors can experience such calm in the Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju, from atop Namsan in the heart of Seoul or while gazing at the moon from a coastal pavilion.
