The Beauty of Seoul, Korea.

in travel •  8 years ago 

Today I want to introduce everyone to Seoul, a city that most probably don't think of when someone says 'beautiful' or talks about sights.

Seoul is the 3rd biggest metropolitan area in the world, with around 25 million people living in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, and around 10 million in Seoul city. Coming from New Zealand, Seoul was a big change. A city that never ends, never sleeps, and is never quiet. However, after travelling lots and taking lots of photos, I think I can conclude it is a very beautiful place (especially if you love cityscapes!)

There are many pictures I could post, but I want to start by posting some skyline shots of the city.

A panorama from the top of Namsan Tower. Below is one of the full images that was stitched together to make the panorama!

Hangang (Han River). I honestly can't remember which bridge it is... I believe Banpo, but I can remember.

Thanks!

I lived in the area for over a year. Beautiful city and the people are nice. I was lucky enough to visit Pusan which is located doen south. The beach was gorgeous.

I haven't actually been to Pusan yet! But I have a few friends who live there.. what was it like? Did you enjoy it?

Oh yeah... i love the food, the people, the scenery, and the culture. We take so many things for granted in the US.

Beautiful, one of my list to visit :)

Let me know if you want some tips on the best places to visit! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Thank you so much, i will :)

Nice... I love how you spotted the beauty of the architecture of the city not just urban lifestyle...

Thank you for the kind words. I have always loved cities and I especially love Seoul.

It's great to know that you really love what you do... more power and success to your project.

Wow. Amazing. I followed you now. Hope to interact with you more soon. :)

Thanks a lot for the support! Me too! Look forward to interacting in the future!

Beautiful! Check out my profile, I upload posts about photography and landscapes. Good pics.

Thanks a lot! And I will :)

Thanks for the beautiful and dramatic photos. You've captured the 'soul' of Seoul.

Thanks a lot! I will keep trying to get more images when I have time!

Nice shots of Seoul. I had a fantastic time there even though it was -15 degrees celsius and i didn't have a proper jacket or winter wear. Itaewon especially :)

Haha, I understand how you must have felt. I was utterly unprepared for winter myself... It was very very cold until I bought a big heavy jacket (right at the end of winter...). Itaewon is great! Glad you enjoyed your time :)

Amazing work! up & followed! :)

Thank you for checking my work out! :)

Looks beautiful, thank you for sharing :)

My pleasure :)

Thank you .... it is also a great city for shopping :)

Yeah, it really is! There are many different areas to shop depending on your style, age and price :)

What a stunning city - I just hope Kin Jong Un-hinged doesn't do anything to spoil it!

Yeah, definitely. Would be heartbreaking to lose such an amazing place.. Not to mention everything else that would happen.

Yes, the US-North Korea situation is quite worrying - let's hope something can be worked out peacfully. Good overview here:

Thanks for the video! I will check it out as soon as I get some time :) But yeah.. It's definitely a worrying situation.
