Yu Hong-june, a prominent art historian in Korea and chair professor at Myongji University in Seoul, said in his book "My Exploration of Cultural Heritage," "The more you know, the more you see." Even if a place is famous or on a plain ordinary day, a landscape can be seen differently depending on the viewer's knowledge and perspective.

Korea.net launched this year a series on domestic cultural and tourist spots. For famous places easily found on the internet, we approach them from new perspectives focusing on people and their stories. In addition, we cover spots often overlooked to promote them as potential tourist attractions. Thus readers can discover hidden but attractive gems of tourism nationwide.
