South Korea, Seoul 韩国首尔

Seoul is the capital of South Korea. It is by far South Korea's largest city and one of East Asia's financial and cultural epicenters. It is a fascinating blend of ancient traditions and cutting-edge digital technology; it is also home to endless street food vendors and vast nightlife districts, an extraordinarily high-pressure educational system and serene Buddhist temples, a trend-setting youth culture and often crushing conformism, extraordinary architecture and endless monotonous rows of grey apartment buildings.

首尔是韩国的首都。目前它是韩国最大的城市，也是东亚的金融和文化中心。首尔不仅拥有迷人的古代传统习俗，而且还有尖端的数字技术。首尔有很多在街头卖小吃的商贩，也有许多夜生活街区，有严格的教育体系、宁静的佛教寺院，更有能打破常规并带动潮流的年轻文化、非凡的建筑和无数单调的成排的灰色公寓大楼。
