These Must-Visit Attractions in Korea Will Refresh Your Travel Perception, and It's More Worthwhile to Visit Exhibitions During Trip.com's Promotional Festivals
Every corner of Korea has its own unique charm, and each city boasts a distinct set of must-visit attractions. When discussing which must-visit attractions in Korea to include, some people prefer to experience the cultural and artistic atmosphere in Seoul, others are drawn to the romantic sunsets and sunrises in Gangwon-do, and still others favor the historical depth of Jeonju Hanok Village. So, with Korean culture travel as the theme, let me share with you the attractions and cities where you can truly immerse yourself in Korea's artistic, cultural, and humanistic landscape, and take stunning life photos along the way!
The first stop is Seoul, the capital of Korea. Seoul is the cultural center of Korea, with a rich cultural heritage and numerous must-visit attractions, as well as the latest cultural trends. What do young people in Seoul do in their spare time? A recent hot spot is the Immerse Light and Shadow Space, where you can visit immersive art exhibitions!
The Immerse Light and Shadow Space is an immersive experiential art space created using high-tech holographic imaging technology and multimedia installations. It is located on the basement level 1 of the Walkerhill Resort Hotel. Friends planning to visit the exhibition can take Seoul Metro Line 5 to Gwangnaru Station or Line 2 to Gangbyeon Station, then transfer to the free shuttle bus of the Walkerhill Resort Hotel, which goes directly to the hotel entrance—very convenient.
The immersive art exhibitions in the hall are regularly updated with new themes. Currently, the hall is hosting an art exhibition themed around the works of Spanish surrealist painter Dalí. Dalí's dreamlike, bizarre, and even slightly absurd painting style is perfectly suited for this type of exhibition. In the space created by light and shadow, visitors feel as if they have stepped into a dream, experiencing a surreal artistic world.
In addition to Dalí, there is also an art exhibition themed around the works of the famous Spanish architect Gaudí. Through a perfect fusion of vibrant colors and visual, auditory, and tactile senses, it projects a colorful world. A casual snapshot in such a setting becomes a surreal masterpiece with a dreamy atmosphere. On the upper floors of the building, there is also a café with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a full view of Seoul's scenery, allowing you to enjoy rare moments of leisure and capture healing photos.
The operating hours here differ between weekdays and weekends. From Monday to Thursday, the hours are from 10:00 AM to 6:20 PM, with last admission at 5:30 PM. On weekends, the operating hours are extended by 50 minutes. The adult ticket price is 29,000 KRW.
Also, for friends traveling to Jeju Island, the Explore Light and Shadow World in Jeju also offers immersive art exhibitions. It is open seven days a week from 10:00 AM to 6:20 PM, with last admission at 5:30 PM. The ticket price is 18,000 KRW.

If you want to enjoy natural scenery, you can include Gangwon-do in your itinerary. Gangwon-do is a filming location for many Korean dramas, with a long coastline, exquisite cafés, and romantic landscapes. If you love seafood, don't miss the local cuisine!
Jeonju is also a great tourist city. You can stroll through the alleys of Jeonju Hanok Village, visit the National Jeonju Museum to experience the characteristics of Jeonju culture, and finally enjoy a bowl of authentic Jeonju bibimbap.
In addition to the must-visit attractions in Korea mentioned above, there are many other famous cities, such as the coastal city of Busan and the third-largest city, Incheon. Of course, if you love art, Seoul is undoubtedly the most suitable travel city choice. For example, taking stunning photos in a place like the Immerse Light and Shadow Space, where reality and dreams alternate, and re-examining your life from the perspective of a master artist—wouldn't that add a touch of artistic flair to your trip to Korea!
