Seoul: A Dynamic Blend of Tradition and Modernity

#postandearn 📍 Address: Seoul, South Korea Seoul dazzles with its vibrant mix of historic palaces, bustling markets, neon-lit shopping districts, and tranquil hanok villages. The city pulses with energy—from the majestic Gyeongbokgung Palace and centuries‑old Bukchon Hanok Village to the ultramodern Dongdaemun Design Plaza and panoramic views from N Seoul Tower atop Namsan. Street food markets like Myeongdong and Gwangjang offer culinary delights, while Hongdae’s youthful art scene adds a creative flair. ✨ Tips: • Start early or stay late: Beat the crowds at Gyeongbokgung and Bukchon, and catch city lights at sunset from N Seoul Tower . • Buy palace tickets ahead for Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung’s Secret Garden (). • Try street eats—bundled dumplings in Myeongdong and mung bean pancakes at Gwangjang . • Walk through Bukchon Hanok Village between 10 AM–5 PM; respect residents’ privacy . • Visit markets: Myeongdong for beauty and fashion; Namdaemun or Gwangjang for local vibes . • Explore the nightlife in Hongdae and try local beers by the Han River . #seoul #gyeongbokgung #bukchonhanok #myeongdong #gwangjangmarket #nseoultower #dongdaemun #hongdae #kfood #citymeetstradition#familytrip #historicallandmarks #localguides #trip
