- Summary:
- For those living in Seoul, it's easy to conclude that the urban swath of concrete grays is all there is to see in Korea. Yet those who look up can glimpse crests of mountains, seemingly faraway yet thankfully ever-present. Such is Korean nature never imposing or intimidating. This book hopes to encourage more readers to take notice of this subdued, yet spectacular, beauty. This book introduces some of Korea's natural wonders to explore: the Hangang River in the capital city, ubiquitous mountains, seas on three sides of the peninsula, rich inland wetlands, and Korea's biggest island, Jeju-do. Won't you come to Korea and experience the wonders of its nature?
