Gyeongju

Korea’s ancient capital, Gyeongju, is the country’s big must-see, and rates as one of the ten most important ancient cultural cities in the world. In among the shops and markets in the modern-day city you’ll find abundant relics of its two-thousand-year history, including colossal fifth-century tombs and burial mounds, a seventh-century stone observatory, and the royal pleasure gardens of Anapji, which were designed in 674 AD. Other quarters of Gyeongju are rich with elegant pagodas and historic wooden Buddhist temples, and numerous trails take you to the slopes of the sacred mountain, Nam-san, which dominates the south of the city.

Hiking in the national parks

South Korea is full of exhilarating national parks, all of which are crisscrossed by clearly marked trails and dotted with good camping spots (and the occasional mountain hut). The cream of the crop is Seorak-san, and in particular Naeseorak (Inner Seorak), an exceptionally tranquil stretch of forested peaks, rivers, waterfalls and Buddhist temples – and some established rock climbs too. Also well worth seeking out are Jiri-san, which boasts a 65-kilometre-long ridge trail and lots of historic temples; the popular and fairly gentle trails of Songni-san; and Bukhansan, which is on the edge of Seoul.

Seoul

South Korea’s modern day capital has a reasonable number of sights to keep you entertained for a few days. Most interesting are the five imposing royal palaces, some of which date back to the fifteenth century. Inside the Changdokkung Palace you’ll find one of South Korea’s loveliest gardens, the Piwon, a beautifully landscaped haven of ponds and pavilions. In the modern part of town, check out the Kimchi Museum, dedicated to fiery pickled cabbage that is South Korea’s national dish, browse the cutting-edge Leeum Museum of Modern Art, and spend the evening in the trendy nightlufe district of Sinchon.

Panmunjeom

On the 38th parallel, the 1953 ceasefire line between North and South Korea – a four-kilometre-wide strip of land spiked with guardposts – is still in force today, and the village of Panmunjeom, which stands on the DMZ just 56km north of Seoul, is a popular day-trip from the capital. Unless you can afford the cost of joining an organized tour around North Korea, this is the closest you can get to the repressive, desperately impoverished totalitarian state. There’s no border crossing here (or anywhere between the two countries) but Panmunjeom attracts busloads of tourists, all of whom required to dress smartly (No jeans, T-shirts or miniskirts) and, if male, to have a respectable haircut!

The KoreanFolkVillage

It may sound like a coach tour nightmare, but the Korean Folk Village is well worth a day-trip from Seoul, especially if you’ve not got time to explore the rest of the country. A reconstruction of a typical nineteenth-century village, it’s complete with Buddhist temple, Confucian school, pottery and weaving workshops, blacksmiths and traditional farmhouses. The people you see in the village do actually live and work there, even if they might look like actors dolled up in traditional outfits.

Jeju-do

This southern island has maintained traditions that have long disappeared from the mainland and is now a popular tourist destination as well as a favorite with local honeymooners. Highlights here include mysterious Easter Island-like statues, hikes to the summit of Halla-san (South Korea’s highest volcano), and a seven-kilometer-long lava-tube cave. The climate down here is warmer and wetter that in the rest of the country, but don’t come specifically foe the beaches, as you’ll find them crowded and disappointingly scruffy

The three-hour boat ride from Busan to Yeosu

This is one of the most scenic journeys in the country, with fine views of the crenellated coastline and myriad islets. It’s so attractive round here that the whole area has been conserved as Hallyo Waterway National Park

The island of Ulung-do

Rugged, remote and starkly beautiful, this tiny volcanic outcrop – accessed by ferry from Samcheck – has hardly any roads and is best explored on foot. It takes two days to walk right round the island, giving you ample opportunity to enjoy the temples. Forested ridges, waterfalls and famous 2000-year-old juniper tree

Taking an open-air bath with a view at Seorak Waterpia

Soak up the glorious mountain vista while wallowing in the natural hot springs at this spa resort in Seorak-san National Park, where you can also bathe in a lemon flavoured pool, go skinny dipping, and brave a shower under a near-boiling waterfall

The fifteenth-century village of Yangdong

Prettily set beside a river and beneath a wooded hill, Yangdong is of such historic importance that villagers are forbidden to modify or knock down their antique wooden houses, many of which are magnificent structures with sweeping roofs, beautifully carved beams and capacious verandahs.

Bargain-hunting at Namdaemun Night Market in Seoul

Opening every night at around 10.30pm and running through till just before dawn, the enormous Namdaemun Market sells everything from handicrafts to saucepans, ginseng to live fish. It’s a great place to while away the evening, not least because of all the cheap food stalls that dish up hot snacks through till morning.

Staying in a yogwan

If you’re on a budget, make a beeline for these traditional questhouses: they’re cheap, family-run, and usually have lots of character. You sleep on a futon on the floor – a special treat in winter when the underfloor heating system kicks in and acts like a huge electric blanket

Snowboarding and skiing at Yongpyong

There are over thirty runs for skiers and snowboarders at this trendy ski resort on the slopes on Mount Balwang, plus floodlit night skiing, a sledging park and cross-country trails. Also holds a snow-sculpture festival in February

Known by the indigenous people of Greenland as Kalaallit Nunaat or “land of the people” in their native Inuit (Eskimo) language, Greenland is the largest island in the world with only 57,000 in population. This autonomous part of the Kingdom of Denmark lies between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, with most part of the island north of the Arctic Circle.

The totally inappropriate name of Greenland was given to the island more than a thousand years ago by the greedy Viking, Eric the Red, as a marketing trick to attract colonists to the island. Four hundred people, taking wives and children, equipment and cattle, have been persuaded to colonize the island. Their first Viking ship landed in the summer of 986 at what is now Ericsfjord, close to Narssarssuarq where flights from the original mother country land. This is where the first settlement was established on this inhospitable land.

More than four-fifths of Greenland is covered by permanent ice cap with a maximum depth of about eight thousand feet. When seen from a bird’s eye view, Greenland looks very much like the North Pole, white and cold. Outcrops of basalt mountains can be seen breaking through the ice, reassuring one that this ice is founded on solid ground, unlike the ice sheet at the North Pole.

Vacations to Greenland offers one of the most tranquil, remote and breathtaking scenery one can ever imagine. The sheer scale and magnificence of the landscape, astonishing geysers and mountains lure increasing number of tourists who want to breathe the pure Arctic air, see musk oxen, and Arctic foxes.

Nuuk is the capital of Greenland and is situated in a grand fjord system west of the island with the towering Mt. Sermistiaq as a backdrop. A good mix of both nature and culture can be found in Nuuk, with rich cultural life, fascinating scenery and thriving wildlife. The Snow Festival is hosted here in March and April.

Famous for its green hills contrasted by icebergs, South Greenland is a great tourist attraction with breathtaking landscapes, absolute calmness, and unique Viking ruins. The locals in this part of the world are especially friendly to everyone.

Located on the beautiful East Greenland, Ammassalik is often considered one of Greenland’s most scenic villages. Exciting excursions can be arranged from the village, from helicopter rides with majestic views over granite mountains, guided walks and iceberg cruises.

On an island east of Ammassalik is a small village named Kulusuk where Inuit hunting culture is still evident and is mainly the source of life. Kulusuk airport is eastern Greenland’s only international airport, and Hotel Kulusuk is available for the more adventurous travelers as a base.

Vacations to Greenland can often be integrated as an addition to Scandinavian tours, as it is only 2 hours away from Iceland by flight. A fantastic way to explore Greenland is by cruise, and it is only available in late summer when pack ice is broken up sufficiently to allow vessels a chance to penetrate and explore. Whatever choice it is, a vacation to Greenland might just be the most unforgettable experience of your lifetime.

People are always posting about deforestation. Do you realize that there are now much more than the 217 million that were planted back in the 30’s. A one hundred mile wide strip of the USA was planted from North Dakota to Texas. My family owns land in this strip. Over Thanksgiving, I was looking at old ariel photos that were taken back in 1950 and comparing to the present. These forests have doubled in size since then. New trees have sprouted all around the old ones. You can see it in the photos.

Here are some pictures that I took this month while hunting.
Most of these trees were not there prior to 1930.

Griz EarthFirst, these forests are not replanted. There was mostly just prairie grass. They started out as a few species of trees, but the animals have contributed to planting. As these trees grew, wildlife used them for habitat and carried seeds and nuts from the native species into the planted areas. The new areas contain most of the native species now and wildlife are very abundant.
