Since 1394, when King Taejo, the first king of the Joseon Dynasty, moved the capital to Hanyang (former name of Seoul), Seoul has been the nation’s center of politics, economy, culture, and transportation. It is home to numerous historical sites, such as the royal palaces of Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung, and the Confucian school of Seonggyungwan, which offer a glimpse into the history of the Joseon Dynasty. The capital city also has Lotte World (theme park), N Seoul Tower, the symbol of Seoul, numerous parks and museums, upscale department stores and mega-stores, jazz bars, cafes, and casinos in downtown area. Visitors can enjoy cultural activities and shopping until late in the evening in this city known for its beautiful night views. The major gateway to Korea, Seoul is full of wonderful things to enjoy from morning till night.
