Seoul Korea sightseeing trip 2019 VLOG - what to do in Seoul?
****
In todays episode you will get to know what to do in Seoul and little bit more about Korea & Seul sightseeing trip.
Seoul is home to 115 museums,[110] including four national and nine official municipal museums. Amongst the city's national museum, The National Museum of Korea is the most representative of museums in not only Seoul but all of South Korea. Since its establishment in 1945, the museum has built a collection of 220,000 artifacts.[111] In October 2005, the museum moved to a new building in Yongsan Family Park. The National Folk Museum is situated on the grounds of the Gyeongbokgung Palace in the district of Jongno District and uses replicas of historical objects to illustrate the folk history of the Korean people.[112] The National Palace Museum of Korea is also located on the grounds of the Gyeongbokgung Palace. Finally, the Seoul branch of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, whose main museum is located in Gwacheon, opened in 2013, in Sogyeok-dong.
Bukchon Hanok Village and Namsangol Hanok Village are old residential districts consisting of hanok Korean traditional houses, parks, and museums that allows visitors to experience traditional Korean culture.[113][114]
The War Memorial, one of nine municipal museums in Seoul, offers visitors an educational and emotional experience of various wars in which Korea was involved, including Korean War themes.[115][116] The Seodaemun Prison is a former prison built during the Japanese occupation, and is currently used as a historic museum.[117]
The Seoul Museum of Art and Ilmin Museum of Art have preserved the appearance of the old building that is visually unique from the neighboring tall, modern buildings. The former is operated by Seoul City Council and sits adjacent to Gyeonghuigung Palace, a Joseon dynasty royal palace. Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art, is widely regarded as one of Seoul's largest private museum. For many Korean film lovers from all over the world, the Korean Film Archive is running the Korean Film Museum and Cinematheque KOFA in its main center located in Digital Media City(DMC), Sangam-dong. The Tteok & Kitchen Utensil Museum and Kimchi Field Museum provide information regarding Korean culinary history.
Religious monuments
Myeongdong Cathedral
There are also religious buildings that take important roles in Korean society and politics. The Wongudan altar was a sacrificial place where Korean rulers held heavenly rituals since the Three Kingdoms period. Since the Joseon dynasty adopted Confucianism as its national ideology in the 14th century, the state built many Confucian shrines. The descendants of the Joseon royal family still continue to hold ceremonies to commemorate ancestors at Jongmyo. It is the oldest royal Confucian shrine preserved and the ritual ceremonies continue a tradition established in the 14th century. Sajikdan, Munmyo and Dongmyo were built during the same period. Although Buddhism was suppressed by the Joseon state, it has continued its existence. Jogyesa is the headquarters of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. Hwagyesa and Bongeunsa are also major Buddhist temples in Seoul.
What To Do In Everland
What do you do in Everland?! We were in Seoul for 7 days in April just in time for Cherry Blossoms peak. In this video, we visit Everland, traveling by subway. If you like seeing animals, or just love theme park rides, going to Everland is a good way to satisfy your childlike soul.
For HIGHLY DISCOUNTED Everland Entrance tickets with roundtrip shuttle bus service, we recommend getting this deal from Klook -
Or if you want to do it DIY, get this highly discounted Everland ticket only offer -

The clips we used were from our trip last year but still evergreen content. Trip Date: April 8-14, 2017
*** NOTE: We just started out with vlogging at this time so we have very limited first-person talk clips for our Spring series.
We took the subway train to Everland, it's a theme park in Gyeonggi-do province but only about an hour away from Seoul. But more than a theme park, it's actually also a zoo, so if you like animals, or seeing wildlife you haven't encountered before - like polar bears, hyaenas, penguins, or pandas, come check out Everland.
You can go here during their tulip festival which happens in Spring time for a few weeks. Nothing fancy, just a lot of tulips near the entrance.
We're actually thinking of going back there on our next trip since we were mostly only able to visit the Zootopia area of Everland

BEST TIME TO VISIT EVERLAND
It's an Outdoor Theme park and Summer is the peak time when school kids are on break.
Springtime or Fall season is best, but choose the less colder times.
I wouldn't suggest Winter (not sure if it's open at that time) but rides would tend to be affected by weather. Anything with cables can be halted when wind is strong - so cable cars can be temporary stopped.
Like with any theme park, weekdays are always best to avoid big crowds.
Get there as early as you can to avoid the larger crowds that arrive by 10am. At least you get to ride a couple of good ones before then.

HOW TO GET TO EVERLAND
*BY SUBWAY*: No special transportation tickets are required for your subway ride to Everland. Your T-Money card is enough. Fare will be around 2450-3350KRW (Approx US$2.2-3.5 to date) from Myeongdong to Jondae Everland station. Fare difference depends on the route (lesser transfers are cheaper). Travel time is approx 2 hours.
Once you get to Jondae Everland station. Just cross the overpass and look for the Free Everland Shuttle Bus.
*BY BUS*: Public buses that go directly to Everland are available near Gangnam, Jamsil, and Sadang Station. Travel time is approx 1.5 - 2 hours from Gangnam. For more info, check this link -
I'd avoid this option during peak seasons because of the crowd.
There are also Shuttle Bus Services available for a roundtrip fee of 12000KRW (approx US$11.5). Pickup points are available in prominent locations. One way tickets are NOT available.
Klook has a convenient offer though where you can get a discounted roundtrip shuttle bus service and a highly discounted Everland entrance deal. Check it out here -

WHERE TO PURCHASE EVERLAND TICKETS
Ticket Price onsite by the time of writing is 54,000KRW (approx US$50) for a one day ticket or 84,000KRW (approx US$77.5) for a 2-day ticket.
Night tickets are also available for 45000 (approx US$41.5)
Q-Passes are also available (for bypassing long queues) for an additional 10,000KRW (approx US $9) per ride.
Purchasing online is usually 30-40% cheaper than on site.
We got ours for US$30 each. (discount is usually only available to non-Koreans).
You can get one from Klook -
Once you get to the gate, just show your eticket from your phone and they will scan it. No need to print anything. If you're traveling alone, I suggest printing a copy in case your phone battery dies.

Welcome to HWASEONG HAENGGUNG PLACE in SUWON
Haenggung is a palace located outside of Seoul where king used to stay when he traveled, at war times, or when he visited tombs. Haenggung can be classified into three types depending on the uses. There were some haenggungs built and used by kings during war times to avoid attacks of enemy troops and to continue to run the country. The Ganghwa Haenggung, the Uiju Haenggung, and the Gwangjubu Haenggung in the Namhan Sanseong Fortress, etc. belong to that category. The Onyang Haenggung was built for the king's rest at the hot spring there, and had been favored by many subsequent kings since King Sejong first used it. And the Hwaseong Haenggung was the temporary palace where King Jeongjo stayed while he visited his father's tomb near it.
King Jeongjo, after moving the tomb of his father Sadoseja to Hyeonryungwon, built the new Suwon city, and constructed the city fortress. From 1790 to 1795 (the 14th ~ 19th years of King Jeongjo), he had several haenggungs built in major stops on his way to the tomb. They were the Gwacheon Haenggung, the Anyang Haenggung, the Sageuncham Haenggung, the Siheung Haenggung, the Ansan Haenggung, and the Hwaseong Haenggung. Among them, the last one was outstandingly the best in its scale and functions. When the king did not stay at the Hwaseong Haenggung, it was used as the administrative office of yusu, or governor, of Hwaseongbu.
King Jeongjo visited his father's tomb Hyeonryungwon 12 times for 11 years from February 1790 to January 1800 (the 24th year of his rule) After moving it in October 1789. Whenever he visited the tomb, he stayed at the Hwaseong Haenggung, holding various events. After King Jeongjo died, the subsequent king Sunjo constructed the Hwaryeongjeon beside the haenggung and put the portrait of King Jeongjo in 1801 (the 1st year of King Sunjo). Subsequent kings following King Jeongjo ― King Sunjo, King Heonjong, and King Gojong ― would stay at the Hwaryeongjeon. The Hwaseong Haenggung, together with its protective fortress, is not simply a superb architecture. It has significant political and military meanings as a symbol of the royal power-strengthening policy the innovative king Jeongjo pursued.
사적 제478호 화성행궁은 1789년(정조 13년) 수원 신읍치 건설 후 팔달산 동쪽 기슭에 건립 되었습니다. 수원부 관아와 행궁으로 사용되다가 1794년부터 96년(정조 18년~20년)에 걸쳐 진행된 화성축성 기간에 화성행궁을 확대하여 최종 완성되었습니다. 효성이 지극하여 부친 장헌세자(사도세자)의 원침인 현륭원(현재의 융릉)을 13차례나 찾았던 정조는 참배 기간 내 화성행궁에서 유숙하였습니다.
화성행궁은 567칸으로 정궁(正宮) 형태를 이루며 국내 행궁 중 가장 큰 규모를 자랑합니다. 그러나 일제강점기 낙남헌을 제외한 시설이 일제의 민족문화와 역사 말살 정책으로 사라졌습니다. 1980년대 말, 뜻있는 지역 시민들이 복원추진위원회를 구성하여 꾸준하고 적극적인 복원운동을 펼친 결과 1996년 복원공사가 시작되어 마침내 482칸으로 1단계 복원이 완료되어 2003년 10월, 일반에게 공개 되었습니다.
