🇰🇷 Before Coming to South Korea, I Thought “Seoul Fever” Was Overhyp

These photos were taken during my trip to Seoul. The sky was gloomy the whole time, so I didn’t take many shots—most of them are night scenes. All the photo spots are listed at the end 📸 For travelers seeking novelty abroad, Seoul might be a letdown. Its ancient architecture pales in comparison to China’s, and its urban development is rather unremarkable. But after a few days, I realized Seoul’s charm lies in the details, its unique vibe, and the resonance it creates with specific elements. For many “Seoul Fever” sufferers, the “symptoms” come from: idols visible everywhere, the aroma of coffee wafting down streets, people huddled around stoves eating ramyeon in markets, and the healing sunset by the Han River… For me, Seoul feels a bit like a more modern Taipei. Though its cityscape is simple and uniform, it exudes warmth: drivers who don’t honk even when stuck in traffic, restaurant owners who fumble through Chinese to communicate, and so many similar living habits to ours… I didn’t catch “Seoul Fever” myself, but I finally understand why so many people do. In a few weeks, Seoul’s cherry blossoms will bloom—I still recommend coming here for a visit! 📸 Seoul Tower at Blue Hour 📍 Near Seoul Station; enter coordinates 37.5536119, 126.9739978 on the map Seoul Night View with Interior Lights 📍 Inwangsan Mountain Gyeongbokgung Palace at Dusk 📍 Rooftop (8th Floor) of the National Museum of Korean History—highly recommended spot!
