A Special Territory, Home to UNESCO World Cultural HeritagesGyeonggimeans outer land of kingdoms capitaland is to protect the royal palace. Since 1018 (Goryeo Dynasty)
when the name was first used, the province has long been specially treated as the area guarding capital of kingdom.
It is why you can find Suwon Hwaseong Fortress and Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty here. Suwon Hwaseong, the
masterpiece of the Joseon Dynasty, is one of the finest Asian fortresses. It was scientifically designed based on both
Asian and Western military science theories and the oriental philology of filial piety.Passing through the downtown area
of Suwon, the fortress is one of the popular tourist destinations; it works off the charm of Gyeonggi-do where tradition
and modernity are balanced. Registered recently as a World Heritage by UNESCO, the Royal Tombs of the Joseon
Dynasty is attracting worldwide attention.Its very rare in the world that a single dynasty existed for 519 years and it's extraordinarily hard to maintain the tombs of
kings and queens in that excellent state. UNESCO, impressed with their artistic and historic value, came to designate all
of 40 tombs as the world heritages. 31 out of the 40 tombs lies in Gyeonggi-do. Based on this valuable cultural heritage,
the province has become the center of Hallyu, or the Korean Wave.
Heart of Hallyu (Korea Drama and K-Pop)Dae Jang Geum, an advance guard for Hallyu dramas that has been on a roll in Japan, China, Middle Ea st and Southeast
Asian Nations, was shot at Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon and Korean Folk Village in Yongin. Invested and managed by
MBC, one of the major broadcasting stations in Korea , the Yongin MBC Dramia is bustling with a lot of foreign tourists
since it was the location of Dae Jang Geum, The Moon That Embraces the Sunand The Great Queen Seondeok. Indeed,
Gentleman, the music video of Psy, which recorded the big global hit in 2012, was shot at the Onemount in Goyang, and
some episodes of Running Manof SBS that are popular in Southeast Asian Nations were shot at the Onemount and the
Petite France in Gapyeong,
Best Province 31Gyeonggi-do consists of 31 cities and counties, which enclose Seoul like a doughnut. They are just like 31 varied theme
parks in and of themselves, attracting tourists all the year round with unique and fascinating feasts. With massive
theme parks, beautiful natural parks and diverse experiential facilities, the province offers world-class festivals as well as
charming local fairs. It has the Korean tourism resources and conveniences for city tour, as well.
31 themes and fascinating tourist attractions in 31 areas! War and peace, environment and technology, nature and art -
all these themes are available here in Gyeonggi-do, the hub of Koreas tourism realm.
Full of Excitement; Theme ParksEverland was ranked as one of four major theme parks by Forbes in 2006. Located in Gyeonggi-do, it is one of the most
impressive tourist attractions in Korea with nine million visitors annually. Apart from Everland there are many exciting
theme parks in the province such as Gwacheon Seoul Land, Woongjin Placydoci and Onemount. The Korean Folk Village,
which features Giwajip (mansions of Yangban, aristocrats in Joseon Dynasty) as well as Chogajip (rice straw-thatched
house), is one of world-class tourist destinations you can experience a variety of Korean traditions and cultures. For
foreign tourists, in particular, it is a must-see destination since Nongak (a rural form of Korean percussive music), Jultagi
(tight-rope walking) and Korean traditional wedding are performed all the year round. Woongjin Playdoci, opened
recently in 2009, fits out the worlds 12th indoor ski slope and offers advanced technology and services.
One and Only Place on Earth ; DMZThe DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) is a natural tourist attraction. The world's only active strip of division, DMZ has recently
come to be regarded as a great ecological tourist spot with exquisite natural resources. Many people including children
and world celebrities have visited the DMZ, which has been cut off from the outside world for half a century, to discover
the importance of nature and to hear a true message of peace.
Gyeonggi-do in KoreaThe most charming region in Korea where the past, present and
future come together. Lets navigate this fascinating place.
Geographically, Gyeonggi-do surrounds Seoul, the capital city of the Republic of Korea and is the
center and the economic hub of the country. With two airports and two ports, it allows easy access
to any city in Northeast Asia within two hours. Gyeonggi-do is where the tour in Korea begins. From

locomotive, operated upto Hanpo in Hwanghae Province,
N. Korea, had to be on the way back to Seoul since the

as to designate the entire 40 Royal Tombs as UNESCO World Heritages. As many as 31 of the 40
tombs lie in Gyeonggi-do.
The Tombs are t he epitomized remains of the Korea n viewpoints such as Confucianism,Buddhism, feng-shui, etc., and their value as a cultural asset is high.
