This tour's intention is to be a fascinating evening orientation & overview of Seoul "old & new", with introduction to who the Koreans are, and the key points of their history and religions/customs. There is not a fully standard itinerary for this tour, but it is completely flexible on the number and nature of the sites visited and the time spent (up to 4 hours). On offer are the best sights of Seoul's historic downtown area, with evening/night views. It all depends on where I pick you up and drop you off, and just what you want to see and do. We can see the great view from Mt. Namsan, colorful lanterns in Cheonggye-cheon Stream, Seoul's headquarters Buddhist temple, the classic old Seoul Train Station, Christian churches, other historic buildings & traditional neighborhoods, restaurants & tea-shops, and so-on -- whatever is open in the evening you are here, and according to the weather. Pick-up from & return to your hotel.
These are possibilities for what we might see on this 3-4 hour jaunt, depending on which night it is and the weather; it can be adjusted for individual preferences. Pick-up from your hotel. Great view from Mt. Namsan and its Tower Restored Cheonggye-cheon Stream, sometimes with floating-lanterns Jogye-sa Buddhist Temple (national headquarters) Classic Art-deco 1925 Seoul Train Station, and its "Seoullo 7017" elevated-walkway Namdae-mun the Great South Gate Seoul Plaza historical monument sights Old & New City Hall, intro to the scale & feng-shui (geomancy) of old Hanyang Bukchon Hanok Village traditional-houses alleyways Insa-dong traditional-culture street (a bit of souvenir-shopping, eating or tea-drinking if desired) -- neon-lit alleys Old Jonggak Bell-Pavilion A royal palace, lit-up at night I will be telling colorful stories from academic sources all along the way, about pre-modern kings & heroes, and recent presidents and activists, and socio-cultural issues. You will learn so much, and in context!!
