South Korea (ROK) can be divided into four general geographic regions as you can see in South Korea (ROK) regions map: an eastern region of high mountain ranges and narrow coastal plains; a western region of broad coastal plains, river basins, and rolling hills; a southwestern region of mountains and valleys; and a southeastern region dominated by the broad basin of the Nakdong River.

GYEONGGI (경기) and GANGWON (강원), South Korea (ROK) northernmost regions, could not be much further apart in character, despite both being bounded to the north by the Demilitarized Zone as its shown in South Korea (ROK) regions map, often described as one of the most dangerous places on Earth. The Korean capital of SEOUL (서울) is an assault on the senses. Even small streets find themselves quite alive with frenzied activity by day and searing neon after sunset, while eardrums are set pounding by clamouring shop assistants and the nighttime thump of a thousand karaoke rooms. The mass of islands draping off Korea southern coast fades into the Pacific, before coming to an enigmatic conclusion in the crater-pocked JEJU ISLAND, known locally as Jejudo (제주도).

The surprisingly low number of travellers who choose to escape Seoul usually make a beeline to the Gyeongsang regions (경상도) of Gyeongbuk (경북; “North Gyeongsang”) and Gyeongnam (경남; “South Gyeongsang”), in the southeast of the country, this area is home to some of the most wonderful sights that Korea has to offer as its mentioned in South Korea (ROK) regions map. Jeju Island has its rock formations and palm trees, and Gangwon-do pulls in nature-lovers by the truckload, but it is the Jeolla regions (전라도) where you will find the essence of Korea at its most potent – a somewhat ironic contention since the Jeollanese have long played the role of the renegade. Of South Korea (ROK) principal regions, Chungcheong (충청) is the least visited by foreign travellers, most of whom choose to rush through it on buses and trains to Gyeongju or Busan in the southeast, or over it on planes to Jeju-do.
