Destination close up part 4. Cities

Picture: The skyline of Busan

Korea's cities are an example of its burgeoning wealth and technological expertise. Their futuristic skylines and neon signs could be straight from the scenes of the latest science fiction movie. In amongst all this modernity you can still find many examples of traditional Korea, with tightly packed streets of pitched roof traditional houses.

Busan is Korea's second city located on the south coast. Busan is famous for it beaches, temples and scenery. It is also home to one of Asia's largest international film festival held annually. Watch the video below to see what Busan has to offer.


One of Korea's medium sized cities is Jeonju located in the central area of the country. Jeonju is built in the center of a bowl of mountains meaning you are never far from a hike or temple. Jeonju is famous for its food and is home to one of Korea's most famous dishes, bibimbap.

Korea has a wide variety of different cities each with its own distinctive character. Before deciding upon a location within Korea to teach it is worth doing your research and matching a city to what you hope to gain from the experience.
