China and South Korea, let’s go! This two-week adventure brings the best of both worlds — ancient wonders, futuristic cities, and street food so good you’ll dream about it for years. Stroll through neon-lit Seoul and cutting-edge Beijing, sleep in a traditional hanok house, scale the Great Wall, and stand in awe before the Terracotta Warriors. With every bite, step, and story, you’ll dive deep into two vibrant cultures that are close in distance but worlds apart in feel. Bags packed? Let’s do this.
Journey through South Korea’s vibrant contrasts, where ancient traditions meet cutting-edge cities and serene islands. Start in Seoul, a buzzing metropolis where centuries-old palaces stand in the shadows of glass towers. Step back in time to Gyeongju's hanok villages, then soak up the coastal beauty and laid-back charm of Busan. Fly to Jeju Island for a deeper look into Korea’s natural wonders and cultural resilience. Meet the legendary haenyeo — elder women who free dive for seafood using techniques passed down through generations — and savour the ocean’s bounty they bring to shore. Along the way, roll up your sleeves for a kimchi-making experience, wander a UNESCO folk village, and take in South Korea’s rich heritage from every angle.
During this journey, tour in the bustling, futuristic capital city Seoul & scout your way into the fine traditions and the ancient views. Then visit Jeonju, a true foodie paradise, so beloved for its cuisine that it’s been deemed by UNESCO as a Creative City for Gastronomy. Later, travel to the energetic port-city of Busan where you can discover the largest seafood market, reenergize near the seaside temples and enjoy the beautiful beaches. Continue to Gyeongju, the ancient capital city teeming with rich history & wonders. Located in Gangwon-do, South Korea, Wonju is home to an impressive selection of attractions and experiences, making it well worth a visit before ending your journey back in Seoul.
