Learn more about South Korea

Geograhy and environment.

South Korea is located at the south end of the Korean Peninsula, between the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea. Separated from   Japan   by the Korean Strait and demarcated from the state of North Korea by Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), South Korea's terrain is a mix of flat lowlands and forested mountains. The coasts of South Korea are rocky and jagged, with thousands of islands (mostly inhabitable) scattered off the coastline.

Culture and customs

South Korea draws some traditions and customs from other neighboring countries in Asia, with a culture that stems from Confucianism. This system of philosophical and ethical teachings was introduced to South Korea in the 4 th century through Chinese scholars and was quickly embraced by the wider population until it officially became the state ideology in the early 1900s.

Confucianism emphasizes respect for aging, elders and ancestors, an intrinsic hierarchy that runs through work and social life, and upholds traditional family roles so you’ll often see families living together in one house.

During your travels around South Korea, you’ll also see plenty of traditions such as the act of bowing when greeting people, women wearing traditional dress (hanbok) and the practice of taekwondo (Korean martial arts). As well as ancient beliefs, new generations of South Koreans are embracing a modernized culture, one full of K-pop, Korean cosmetics and popular foods like kimchi and tteokbokki.

History and government

South Korea’s had an often turbulent history dating back to around 8000 BC when it was known as just Korea, but the country’s most impactful conflict began in the 1500s with the attempted Japanese invasion. Korea went on to become a Japanese colony in 1910 following its annexation of the Korean Empire, which ended in 1945 at the conclusion of World War II.

The country was then divided into two parts, the northern part which was protected by the Soviet Union and the southern part which was protected largely by the United States. Both the northern and southern parts of Korea officially became North and South Korea in 1948 when the two regions failed to agree on forming one, united government.

In 1950, North Korea set in motion the Korean War which was intended to unify the two countries under communism. But after much destruction to infrastructure and loss of human life, a cease-fire was called in 1953 with both countries signing the 1953 Korean Armistice Agreement. The two countries have since agreed to work towards a final settlement (The Peace Treaty on the Korean Peninsula) to formally and officially end the Korean War.

South Korea now enjoys a fully prosperous economy with a capital economic standing similar to that of countries such as the United States, Japan, and various countries in Western Europe.

You can’t go to South Korea for shopping and not stop in Seoul – the country’s premier destination for all things fashion, electronics, street food and skincare. In this shopper’s paradise of a city, you’ll find traditional Korean items perfect for souvenirs to tech gadgets not yet available on Australia’s shores.

Some notable districts/destinations where you can shop ‘til you drop include:

• Myeongdong (shopping district)
• Dongdaemun Market (shopping center)
• Cheongdam-dong (luxury boutique area)
• Pyeonghwa (wholesale market)

Top 5 culinary delicacies of South Korea

1. bibimbap.

As one of Korea's standout dishes, bibimbap is a tasty concoction of meat, vegetables, egg, and rice. Soy sauce, chili paste, garlic, and sesame oil all add flavor to this amazingly colorful dish found everywhere in Korea.

Kimchi is hailed as a nutritional powerhouse - packing a healthy punch of nutrients, vitamins, and beneficial bacteria that makes it one of the world's healthiest superfoods. But most people don't eat these fermented vegetables for health reasons - it's the uniquely, tasty flavor and versatility that makes kimchi so popular in Korean cooking.

These delicious, savory pancakes are a standard of Korean cuisine. With hundreds of different varieties, jeon can be served with red meat, chicken, seafood, vegetables, tofu, and even edible flowers.

Similar to sushi, these highly popular rice-based morsels feature fish, beef, or crab, wrapped in seaweed with pickled or fresh vegetables. Available all over Korea, they are the perfect snack on the run or quick, cheap lunch to enjoy between sightseeing.

Arriving in Korea by the way of Mongolia, mandu are essentially boiled, steamed, or pan-fried dumplings. A cheap, street food favorite, mandu can be filled with everything from pheasant to tofu, cucumber, beef, and beyond.

Tipping in some establishments (particularly more traditional ones) is considered impolite, and is sometimes indicated with a 'no tipping' sign! Western-style, tourist-orientated places, however, usually welcome and receive tips. Use your discretion.

What is the internet access like in South Korea?

With one of the most developed internet infrastructures in the world, accessing the internet is easy in South Korea. Wi-Fi hot spots and cyber cafes are easily found in the cities, although when traveling in remote areas please be aware that internet access may be harder to find.

Can I use my cell phone while in South Korea?

Travelers should be able to use their cell phones in South Korea's cities and urban areas, as coverage is good. As in other countries, rural and mountainous areas may have less mobile phone receptivity. Ensure global roaming is activated with your service provider before leaving home.

What are the toilets like in South Korea?

South Korea has a combination of squat toilets and western-style flushable toilets. It's a good idea to carry your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer or soap while on holiday, as these are rarely provided in public toilets.

colleague and i skipped a 1 hr + long lunch line to be ushered in by the manager. and i had some of the best chicken noodle soup ever). i would highly recommend kory to anyone (family, friends, business) who needs an english speaking guide in seoul exceeded all expectations i cannot imagine a better experience. from our airport pick-up and throughout the week, we enjoyed a fully customized trip of a lifetime, thanks to the incredible attentiveness of our guides, david and maha. they communicated well, both before and during the day's activities, then sent hundreds of fantastic photos helping to memorialize every experience. their personal perspectives and insights brought further dimensions to our visit. i'm so grateful we relied on this is korea for all of our arrangements. worry free and magical. i've recommended them to everyone, and already plan to use them again. read more read less jenny k 14 apr 2024 × jenny k 14 apr 2024 exceeded all expectations i cannot imagine a

incheon port where we had disembarked a cruise. jay met us with a comfortable van and took us first to changdeokgung palace and the secret garden tour., a serene and lovely place, sadly not yet in bloom but still interesting. then on to the main palace. after our lunch we walked the cheongyecheon stream, visited the jongmyo shrine, the royal tombs, drove through gangnam district and itaewon before drop off at our hotel. what a busy day. day 2 was a trip to the dmz. very interesting. one note g our pickup time was very early and the only option for some breakfast was the hotel buffet which was very expensive. however, we had over an hour wait at the dmz fot the start of our tour and there were cheaper breakfast options there which we would have done if we knew this, so it would be good to advise future clients about this. jay took us to a nearby local restaurant for korean barbecue and showed us how they eat it. what a feast and very delicious on the way back he took us to the korean ginseng center after my husband had asked where he might buy some ginseng. a fabulous place and a very happy husband. day 3 we had a later start since we would be dropped off at the airport for a late night flight. we went to namsen tower, insadon street, myeondong where we had lunch, gyeongbokgung palace (missed the colorful changing of the guard due to our late start today so timing didn't work out but i did see a bit from the van on day 1 as we drove past). here we saw lots of tourists in traditional hanbok clothes. we followed with a drive to buchon hanbok village and then a drive through an area where the most affluent seoul residents live. finally we were dropped off at the airport after 3 great days with jay. he had taken numerous photos of us to have great memories of our time here. we highly recommend jay and this is korea tours. read more read less themice 06 apr 2024 × themice 06 apr 2024 3 amazing, jam packed days we spent 3 very full days in seoul with our guide
