    Anyone been to South Korea?

    It's been on my list of country to visit for 12-15 years (long, long before this Gangnam tune) yet I've done very little research about the place. I am planning a short visit (3-5 days) and I just want to check out some touristy places in Seoul (I can always go back for more). Not so interested in shopping, and would be more interested in sightseeing. So places with good landscape views, landmark buildings and that sort of things. And anything else to keep in mind (I am also be referring to Wikitravel - but I welcome additional suggestions/comments).

    Not personally, but I know people who have been and loved it. Would like to go myself some day.

    Lonely Planet's top picks for Seoul:

    1 Bukchon Hanok Village: Lose yourself in the picturesque, atmospheric streets
    2 Namdaemun market: Test your bargaining skills at this centuries old market
    3 Cheong-gye-cheon: Stroll beside this flowing oasis and return at night to see spectacular light shows
    4 Changdeokgung: Soak up the serenity of the Secret Garden
    5 Bukaksan: Hike the ancient fortress walls to the summit for panoramic views of the city
    6 Inwangsan: Listen to shamans’ chants on the hills

    You can do some interesting tours of the DMZ, South Korea is sometimes the best example of military action / might available today (when contrasted with the North)

    Gangnam is the region located south of han river, if you like sightseeing, i would recommend staying in the north of Han river
