After the welcome meeting, your leader will take you to visit the renowned Gwangjang Market for a progressive dinner tour. Here you’ll find some of Korea’s street food favourites like mayak gimbap (rice rolls), mandu (North Korean dumplings), bindaetteok (mung bean pancake) and the famous kimchi. Afterwards, follow your group leader to the top of Naksan to see an awesome view of Seoul’s skyline at night. Accommodation Hotel (1 night) Included Activities Seoul - Gwangjang market Seoul - Naksan night view over the city Meals Included Dinner Special Information It’s very important that you attend the welcome meeting as we will be collecting insurance details and next of kin information at this time. If you are going to be late please let your travel agent or hotel reception know. Ask reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place. If you can't arrange a flight that will arrive in time, you may wish to arrive a day early so you're able to attend. We'll be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability). DAY 2 Destination Seoul Meals included Breakfast Accommodation N/A In the morning, hop on Seoul’s metro and take a guided tour around the past and present (and future!) of the city. Explore the Gyeongbukgung Palace – the main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty, and the traditional Bukchon Hanok Village, then continue on to Olympic Park, where South Korea emerged on the world stage as an economic superpower. Pass through the central Gangnam Station and check out the Samsung D’Light Technology Complex – an exhibition which showcases the tech giant’s latest and greatest products and advancements. Finish up your morning in the vibrant urban district of Hongdae, which is an ideal area for a spot of shopping, something to eat, or simply just wandering around with the local uni students of the area.

Situated on the east side of the Korean Peninsula, Gangneung is known for its pine forests, beaches and thriving café culture. Once arrived, join your group leader on a visit to Ojukheon and Seongyojang House, which are traditional Hanok houses once belonging to noble families of the area. They have been preserved in the original form and now provide an insight into what life was like hundreds of years ago. Continue on to Gyeongpo Lake, where you’ll be able to walk along the lakeside paths, which are adorned with cherry blossoms during the springtime. Afterwards, you’ll have a chance to explore at your own pace. Perhaps head to the Coffee Cupper Museum if you’ve got a caffeine fascination, or head to the beach if it’s warm for a swim. Accommodation holiday house (1 night) Included Activities Gangneung - Ojukheon Village Gangneung - Gyeongpo Lake Optional Activities Gangneung - Coffee Cupper Museum - KRW10000 Meals Included Breakfast Special Information Please note that the accommodation tonight will be in a holiday house.

Take a morning hike up Korea’s most well-known mountain Seoraksan, which will take around 2.5 hours. Return to Sokcho and visit the Daepo Fish Market, where you might like to try mulhwae – a spicy raw fish soup which comes with all kinds of accompaniments. Later on, duck over to Abai – a small island village which the majority of residents are North Korean refugees having fled and settled here during the Korean War. Getting there is half the fun – you’ll have to work together to pull a rope on a small barge to get to the other side. In the late afternoon, return to Gangneung for a free evening. Accommodation holiday house (1 night) Included Activities Sokcho - Island village of Abai Sokcho - Daepo Fish market Sokcho - Seoraksan Mountain Meals Included There are no meals included on this day.

You’ll pay a visit to points of interest including the Third Tunnel of Aggression, Unification Bridge, Imjingak Park and the Dora Observatory, where you can view across much of the DMZ. It’s truly a thought-provoking day. After the tour has come to an end, enjoy some time at your leisure in Seoul. Accommodation Hotel (1 night) Included Activities Seoul - Demilitarized Zone (DMZ/South Korea) Meals Included There are no meals included on this day. Special Information Please note that a tour of the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) can only be operated by UN designated operators in South Korea, so you will be joined by other travellers on this tour. The tour will last around five hours, and you may have the option to add on extras to the tour, like upgrading to a Joint Security Area (JSA) tour, costing around USD 50. Note that these tours are not always available due to the political situation of the region. You will need your passport for the DMZ tour, plus drinks and some light snacks are recommended. In terms of attire, you should wear business casual, avoiding large logos, sleeveless shirts or military wear. DAY 6 Destination Seoul Andong Hahoe Folk Village Meals included Breakfast Accommodation N/A Make tracks on an express bus to Andong (approximately 2.5 hours), then continue for another hour or so to the Andong Hahoe Folk Village. This quaint traditional settlement is easy to walk around, so join your leader on a stroll visiting traditional houses, including the one that hosted Queen Elizabeth II in 1999. Later on, you may like to take a ferry across the river for an easy hike up Buyongdae, where you’ll get a bird’s eye view of the community. Being a traditional Korean outpost, there may also be masked dancers performing in town, and to learn more about this ritual, why not visit the nearby mask museum. Accommodation Hanok (1 night) Included Activities Andong - Andong folk village Meals Included Breakfast Special Information Your accommodation tonight will be a traditional Hanok in a family guesthouse. You'll be sleeping on mattress on a floor for the night but the serenity in the village and staying in an authentic traditional Hanok house is guaranteed to be a special experience.

Then you'll leave from Andong Village to Suncheon in a private vehicle (approximately 4 hours). Suncheon holds a special place in South Korea because it now part of a free economic zone and also considered by some as the ecological capital of South Korea. Arrive in the city in the late afternoon and join your leader for an orientation walk to get your bearings, before having a chilled-out night.

  • Smart Energy Transition: an Evaluation of Cities in South Korea
    informatics Article Smart Energy Transition: An Evaluation of Cities in South Korea Yirang Lim 1,*, Jurian Edelenbos 2 and Alberto Gianoli 3 1 Erasmus Graduate School of Social Science and Humanities (EGSH), Erasmus University, 3062 PA Rotterdam, The Netherlands 2 Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences (ESSB), Erasmus University, 3062 PA Rotterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] 3 Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies (IHS), Erasmus University, 3062 PA Rotterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 5 October 2019; Accepted: 4 November 2019; Published: 6 November 2019 Abstract: One positive impact of smart cities is reducing energy consumption and CO2 emission through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). Energy transition pursues systematic changes to the low-carbon society, and it can benefit from technological and institutional advancement in smart cities. The integration of the energy transition to smart city development has not been thoroughly studied yet. The purpose of this study is to find empirical evidence of smart cities’ contributions to energy transition. The hypothesis is that there is a significant difference between smart and non-smart cities in the performance of energy transition. The Smart Energy Transition Index is introduced. Index is useful to summarize the smart city component’s contribution to energy transition and to enable comparison among cities. The cities in South Korea are divided into three groups: (1) first-wave smart cities that focus on smart transportation and security services; (2) second-wave smart cities that provide comprehensive urban services; and (3) non-smart cities. The results showed that second-wave smart cities scored higher than first-wave and non-smart cities, and there is a statistically significant difference among city groups.
