Comment from Lydia

With world-class shopping, fiery cuisine, historic palaces and museums, scenic mountain views and an ancient culture, South Korea may be Asia’s most overlooked and underrated destination. If you want to shop in Seoul and laze on Busan’s beaches in the same trip, consider traveling via train.

Korea’s rail network, run by Korail, has recently been revitalized to include more comfortable trains and more frequent routes, all at budget-friendly prices. Today, traveling between major Korean cities by train is competitive with bus travel for cost and time, but trains are safer and offer greater comfort and varied views of the Korean countryside.
