The World On arirang

Continuing the introduction of Seoul from last week, the nightlife of Seoul will now be explored. Cruising along the Han River at night, one can see the beautiful lighting of the city landscape. Foreigners also enjoy visiting the lively streets of Hongdae at night, which are packed with unique and stylish cafes that open late into the night. Many people go shopping into the wee hours of the morning at Dongdaemun Market, and for those who want to relax, Korean saunas are a popular choice.

Locally grown food is rising in demand these days. There are multiple benefits of locally grown food--eating fresh local food is better for one's health and growing local food can help prevent global warming. Instead of having to import food from far distances, local food is grown close to where it is consumed, thus reducing the emission of carbon dioxide. See how the local food movement is growing through the efforts of farmers and consumers alike.

The first mountain on the peninsula to be spotlit by the moonlight, Wolchul Mountain is known as an outdoor sculpture exhibition consisting of rocks of all shapes and sizes. The towering rocks at Wolchulsan National Park are regarded with admiration, and among them lie cultural treasures as well. With moonlight sprinkled like gold powder among the mountainous peaks, join an autumn journey to Wolchulsan National Park.
