Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Monks, Temples & Markets
In the morning, you will continue exploring Seoul with another city tour that touches on Jogyesa temple to experience temple life. During this visit, you will have the opportunity to drink tea with a local monk and make lotus lanterns. If this is not available then the temple stay center is an alternative. Lotus lanterns are a symbol of light, hope, and unity, and full of color so this is a great opportunity to craft a piece of unique Korean culture. After the temple visit, you will then have a walking tour of Seoul Fortress Wall. Another creation of the Joseon Dynasty, this Fortress was built over 600 years ago to protect the city of Seoul, formerly know as Hanyang. This walking tour will eventually lead you to Dongdaemun Market and the Gangnam district, both bright and lively places within the city. Take in the vibrancy, shops and food stalls and get a taste of the local street food. Return to your hotel for the evening and relax after a full day of exploring.
