South Korea Culture

South Korea Culture has a rich tradition for over 5000 years. The historical sites prove at every instant the cultural tradition of South Korea. That the South Korea culture heralds a rich tradition can be traced from the respect the contemporary South Korea shows for the past.
Almost all the historical sites of South Korea have been well preserved by the present concerned authority. The ancient buildings, lanterns and and the stone pagodas have never been neglected in the modern South Korea to make way for the modern technologies. These ancient relics and all the ancient pieces of sculpture have been tagged as National Treasures and numbered. Many of them have been preserved in the museums in South Korea for the display.

That the South Korea culture hosts some rich tradition can be observed from the fact that seven historical sites of South Korea have been selected as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These seven sites include:

Bulguksa Temple and the adjacent Seokguram Grotto
Changdeokkung Palace Complex

These World Heritage Sites are often visited by the students of South Korea aided by the school and college teachers. The teachers always insist that to know South Korea needs a detailed study of the rich South Korea culture of the past. The beautiful thing about the contemporary South Korea culture is the coexistence of the past and the new. The new buildings in South Korea have adopted the modern technologies that can compete with European countries. Thus, the South Korea culture presents a fine blend of the old and the new that the tourists can explore at every instant.
