Introduction Plan Your Trip
This booklet is based on the 2010 International
Tourist Survey on Korean Travel conducted by
KTO. It reflects the attractions and locations that
international tourists preferred or wanted to visit Tour Courses for
again. The survey led to choosing the five best International Tourists
tourist destinations: Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Busan,
Gyeongju, and Jeju Island. Each location is, in turn,
divided into detailed sections on History & Culture,
Fashion & Shopping, Youth & Energy, Leisure &
Recreation, and Theme Park.

The booklet is designed to offer one-day courses for

international tourists who use either cars or public
transportation. But slow travelers may need two or,
sometimes, three days to cover one-day courses.

After the Japanese Invasions of Korea, 1592-
1598, King Seonjo temporarily stayed in Wolsan

this magnificent palace. It was originally called
Gyeongungung Palace, but King Gojong changed its
name to Deoksugung Palace in 1907. It was here
that King Gwanghaegun, Injo, and Gojong ascended
the throne during the Chosun Dynasty. The palace
boasts an architectural style that infuses both
traditional wooden and Western-style structures.

Freedom Bridge Dorasan Peace Park

Situated behind Mangbaedan (a memorial altar)
in Imjingak Square, it used to be the only bridge
crossing the Imjingang River before the opening of
Tongil (Reunification) Bridge in 1998. Freedom Bridge
was named as such when over 13,000 POWs of the
Korean War crossed this bridge in the aftermath
of the Ceasefire Agreement of 1953 because the
railroad along the Gyeongui Line was already
destroyed. Symbolizing the “return to freedom,” the
bridge is an enduring heritage of the Korean War.
Completed in June 2008, the park offers visitors an
opportunity to learn the importance of peace as well
as the rich ecology in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Gyeonggi-do
Reunification Forest, in particular, was built thanks
to generous financial donations and donated trees
by citizens of Gyeonggi-do. Within the park is an
