Seoul is also the base for many popular day trips outside the city. Tourists can visit the pottery village, Incheon boardwalk, folk villages, and amusement parks. Another top destination is the Island of Cheju, island of the gods. This southern island has been a playground for Koreans for many years. It has a well-developed tourist trade, with several casinos, Cheju pony races, scuba and other water sports, biking, hiking and pampering.
Accommodations range from hostels to condos to deluxe hotels.
Several days should be allowed to see each of these cities. With the greatly expanded range of activities available in Korea during our Visit Korea Year 2001, there has never been a better time to include Korea in your travel plans. And once you get acquainted with the country, you will want to go back again and again. I certainly do.
