Korea Tourism
Korea is a wonderful place to visit. There are many sights to see as well as beautiful scenery everywhere you look. I would love to suggest Korea as one of the most beautiful countries for tourism. Just like every other country, there are many good factors as well as bad factors to consider while traveling in Korea.

One of the strengths of traveling in Korea is the extensive network of transportation. There are buses, taxis, trains, and subways throughout the whole country. I believe the Seoul subway system is one of the most developed in the whole. This easy accessible transportation makes it easy for travelers to get from one place to another. These forms of transportations are easy to use and quick to find. You will see a street sign almost everywhere you go. Street signs are on almost every block which prevents travelers from getting lost. Another strength of visiting Korea are the cheap prices. Transportation, food, and lodging are all at reasonable prices. In my opinion, the biggest strength of traveling in Korea is the beautiful scenery. While you travel place to place the scenery is always there. Everywhere you look you will see the vast variety of vegetation and peaceful environment.

Every country has it's weaknesses. One of Korea's weakness is that there aren't very many tour packages for travelers to use when coming to Korea. If there were more packages created, there would be a vast increase in the number of foreign travelers. Although there are many street signs in Korea, there is a lack of tourism signs. I haven't seen many signs for the original Korean tourist attractions, such as temples or palaces. Korea has some of the most beautiful palaces in southeast Asia but they aren't advertised as well as they should be. Also, there are a variety of Buddhist temples but not many travelers know about this. One of my Korean American friends came to Korea to visit and thought that Buddhist temples were only for Buddhists, but that's not the case.

    Korea lies in the eastern part of Asia. This peninsula is divided into two countries: North Korea and South Korea. Although there is a division of landscape, government, and culture, the bulk of people in Korea consider themselves a part of the Korean nation. Regardless of that, the countries do have their differences. The entire peninsula is cut off from Northeast China by rugged mountains and sizable rivers (Rowntree 365). The north suffers from heavy deforestation, however it has more natural resources. The south has made extensive reforestation efforts post WWII and so they have more greenery. In terms of culture, there are more intense differences. In the South, k-pop and Korean drams have gone global. The culture has appealed to people worldwide. Meanwhile, North Korea remains somewhat in isolation. What’s more, North Koreans attempt to flee into Northeast China, quite often. Yet no one flees South Korea. This shows that there are different cultures and levels of comfort in each…

    Political and social issues between Korea and Japan are fraught with tension in the present day because of the Japanese occupation of Korea during World War II. During the occupation, the Japanese tried to eliminate Korean culture and enforced a policy to obliterate the Korean nation. The occupation was a relatively recent historical event that has been taught in classes and imparted to Korean generations, thus marking the memory of the present generation, which makes it difficult for them not to be so biased with Japanese actions in the present day. I think we should look at how Korean government defines and teaches about the relationship between the two countries through usage of cultural identity and collective memory of Japanese occupation to unify people and up-build Korean economic. In hope of both countries do not make matters worse for Korean–Japanese political and social issues.…

    North Korea has a communist, state-run, one-man dictatorship. However, North korea has gone through many steps to get where they are today. In 668 A.d., Koreans were united by the Silla Dynasty. This dynasty united three kingdoms of Korea which included Silla, Paekhe, and Koruryo. After the unification, Korea obtained a more organized bureaucratic model which was in accord with China. This system divided the Korean peninsula into 9 different provinces. The system also included systems of ministries and bureaus. Later, in 1910, Japan colonized Korea. It is said that during this colonization, the Korean people suffered greatly. During this time period, Korea began to modernize and Pyongyang became the capital (center of attraction) of Korea. 35 years later, in 1945, the Cold War and 38th parallel divided the Korean people into North and South Korea. While the North had a more dictatorship structure, the South strived for a democratic system, which clashed.…

    North Korea's hatching started in the late nineteenth century. At this time the peninsula was just one Korea; its monarchs created the "Hermit Kingdom" by closing its doors to foreign push-and-pull. However, Japanese influence on Korea was very strong as was China's presence and sheer size and power on the country. Russian's also planned to gain from the peninsula economically. These giants held fierce competition against each other which sparked several wars. In 1894 and 1895 there was the Sino-Japanese War, and later, from 1904 to 1905 was the Russo-Japanese War. After Japans victories against Russia and the Chinese, Korea became part of the Japanese Empire when it was annexed in 1910. (USC-UCLA; North Korea Profile, 2006)…
