Discover the Hidden Gems of South Korea: Uncover the Most Underrated Tourist Sites!

AKP STAFF

South Korea is a vibrant and fascinating country, boasting a unique blend of modern and traditional culture. From the bustling cities of Seoul and Busan to the ancient temples and palaces, there is something for everyone to explore and enjoy. With its cutting-edge technology and rich history, South Korea is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the best of both worlds. Of course, there are the usual popular spots, such as Namsan Tower and Han River, that all tourists visit, but here are six underrated South Korean tourist sites to put on your itinerary for your next trip!

1. E-World: While everyone knows about Lotte World, the grand amusement park located in Seoul, there's also another excellent amusement park outside the region of Seoul in Daegu! Featured in "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo," E-World is also another great place to have an adventure!


2. Jeonju Hanok Village: Many tourists are amazed at Seoul's Bukchon Hanok Village, but if you want to see more of the traditional side of Korea, you can't miss out on the region of Jeonju. Right smack dab in the middle of the city, you'll get a great expanse of traditional houses, but what makes Jeonju's Hanok village so much more unique is the roofing of all the homes!


3. Pohang: Because many people either just stay in Seoul while on vacation or make their way down to Busan or Jeju Island, they often miss out on many great spots outside of these typical touristy regions. But if you're going to travel, go visit Pohang! Which was the filming site of "Hometown Cha Cha Cha" although it's a small region, you'll get to see some of the best scenery Korea has to offer!


4. Damyang: If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of typical tourist spots, then Damyang is the perfect place for you! Located in Jeollanam-do, when you visit Damyang, you'll find yourself surrounded by vast bamboo and massive trees! It's the ideal place for peace and quiet!


5. Petite France: Featured in multiple dramas such as "My Love From Another Star," this tourist spot is a park that pays homage to French pop culture and design; it's like visiting two countries at one time!


6. Jinhae: A must-go visit place if you're traveling to South Korea in the springtime. This is where you can see the cherry blossoms bloom!

While Seoul is great to visit, expand your travel itinerary to see more of what South Korea has to offer by visiting these six unique places!

Ugh, I miss Seoul. It's such a beautiful, big, and nice city with so many things to do but airfare from North America is no joke, not to mention the travel time is insane D:
