Vibrant Traditions and Delectable Cuisine: Why This Lively Asian Locale Captivates American Travelers Posted on June 22, 2024July 12, 2024 By Travelworldwide Traveling to Asia can be an unforgettable adventure. Some destinations are perfect for first-time international travelers, while others offer a sensory overload with stunning sights, unique cultural norms, and delicious food. With summer here, it’s the perfect time to use your PTO and take a long-haul flight to one of the most captivating continents on Earth. But with so many amazing places in Asia, how do you choose just one? According to recent statistics, more and more Americans are visiting South Korea, and for good reason. This country boasts a fascinating culture and mouthwatering cuisine, making it a popular destination. If you look around your hometown, you’ll likely spot a Korean restaurant, which wasn’t always the case. Korean Barbecue, Hot Pots, Bibimbap Bowls, and even Korean-style fried chicken are all the rage now. Korean cuisine is so flavorful and savory that it’s worth traveling across the globe for a foodie adventure. In major cities like Seoul, dining out is a social event, whether you’re enjoying barbecue or hot pots. South Korea is one of the best places in Asia to indulge in trendy cuisine, and you might even find yourself singing K-Pop hits at a karaoke bar after a little soju. Most travelers to South Korea head to Seoul, the bustling capital city with nearly 10 million residents. Seoul offers an endless playground for those who love delicious food, historic sites, and vibrant markets. The city is a mix of old and new, with traditional markets and Buddhist temples alongside the latest tech and futuristic amenities. Seoul’s bright neon lights, high-speed metro system, and plans to go green make it a fascinating place to explore. Plus, many attractions in Seoul are free, including the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul Museum of History, War Memorial, and National History Museum. South Korea is also embracing the digital nomad trend, with nearly 25,000 free Wi-Fi hotspots across the country. The new Digital Nomad Visa, launched earlier this year, is enticing but harder to qualify for compared to other countries. While not all visitors are digital nomads, a trip to South Korea might inspire you to apply for a long-term stay. Besides Seoul, other great places for digital nomads include Busan, a city with thrills, history, and beautiful beaches, and Jeju Island, known as the “Hawaii of South Korea,” with stunning beaches, scenic mountains, and lush forests.
