"Delay your flight home until you fully enjoy Seoul…"

Changing Landscapes: Towards a sustainable economy in Asia is offering an opportunity for our guests to relax and experience the sights of Seoul on Thursday 19th June 2008.

The hub of culture, history and economy, Seoul is a powerful portrayal of advancement within a culture that has retained much of its unique history. Seoul preserves numerous relics of the Joseon Dynasty: five extant palaces and royal tombs, Sung Kyung Kwan, the Confucian educational institution and Bokchun, the ancient living quarters of the dynasty’s aristocracy. The city’s legacy winds through its labyrinthine alleys. At the same time, Seoul has risen as a global landmark of modernity with many must-see attractions: Lotte World, the Seoul Tower, its trademark stores and other emporiums.
