Summary:
"Founded in 1394
Seoul
is both the cultural and economic centre of
South
Korea
and with twelve million inhabitants it is also the fifth largest city in the world. A huge monument commemorates the Korean War during which between 1950 and 1953 around four hundred thousand people were killed. At that time the United States of America and twenty other countries took part in a United Nations military operation to support
South
Korea
against the forces of North
Korea
and China. In 1988 the twenty fourth Olympic Games took place in
Seoul
and for this the Olympic Park was created, a huge area with a monument at its entrance and two hundred sculptures that adorn various paths, designed to highlight
Korea
's global connection with the rest of the world. At the end of the eighteenth century the Hwaseong Fortress was built, now a World Heritage Sight. The fortress extends for a hundred and thirty hectares and the distance from one main gate to the other is such that a dragon train is available for those who prefer not to walk. In 1969 the N
Seoul
Television Tower was built to provide
South
Korea
with TV and radio signals.
Seoul
's main landmark is two hundred and thirty six metres high and is equipped with several high speed elevators as well as an observation platform and observatory.
Historic
buildings
, palaces, shrines and bridges all serve to underline the ultra modern appearance of
Seoul
, a mega city in the Land Of The Silent Morning."--Container.
