SOUTH KOREA, LAND OF THE MORNING CALM

An invitation to escape

An episode from the series DESTINATION

Synopsis

Among the poorest nations at the end of the Korean War in 1953, South Korea has since become one of the "four Asian tigers" alongside Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan.

While temples awaken at dawn to the glow of lanterns, and tea plantations and rice paddies breathe serenity, there is another equally fascinating South Korea that, like Seoul, brims with creativity and dynamism.
