Seoul and Gyeonggi-do have many interesting places and is extremely

suitable for those who love sightseeing and photography. It also allows
people to experience new things which they might not have experienced

of summer to mid-winter, so that the weather will not be too cold or hot. I
hope that you would visit Seoul and Gyeonggi-do Province as you would enjoy
