Description

A four-month road trip through South Korea's diverse landscapes and cultures. Journalist Mark Dake and his friend Heju embark on a 10,000-kilometre journey to uncover the real country, taking them off the beaten trail and into the heart of the nation. From Seoul's electric streets to the tense northern border, they encounter a wealth of experiences: ancient stone tombs, Buddhist temples, palaces, national parks, and historical sites. Along the way, they explore prisons, dinosaurs, anthropology, history, marine life, art, and nature, meeting people and seeing things that few tourists ever get to experience. With a mix of adventure, curiosity, and cultural insight, this book offers a unique perspective on South Korea's enigmatic peninsula, revealing its complexities and beauty.
