Soul Walking Tour App; Helping you to Explore Heart of Korea

Recently, the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO), has developed a walking tour app of Soul City which is actually helping a lot foreigners who are not well aware of the city streets and addresses of most attractive places to visit. 
When I came to visit Korea, it was very hard for me to get to the desired places in Seoul as I was not aware of the language, culture and places but I learned all these things by the time. But it is more easier now at least for Seoul attractions if you are using the "Seoul Walking Tour App". You don't need to bother people by asking questions like where to go, how to go etc. All you have to do is to download this app on your android hand set and use it for your benefit. 

The app has divided the Seoul most desired places in 3 categories. The places which are added in the app are 20 in total which are all most important and interesting to see if you are planning to visit Seoul in future or if you have already arrived to explore it. 
 These areas are: 









1. Cheonggyecheon Stream includes: Cheonggye Plaza, Gwangtonggyo Bridge, Jeongjo, Neunghaeng Banchado, Supyogyo Bridge Site and, Ogansugyo Bridge
2.  Jongno includes: Bosingak Pavilion, Yukuijeon, Tapgol Park, Insa-dong, Jogyesa Temple, Postal Memorial Hall
3.   Gwanghwamun Plaza contains: Seoul City Hall, Gwanghwamun Plaza, National Museum of Korean Contemporary History, Seoul Museum of History, and Jeongdong-gils Cheon
 
The most interesting and desirable thing is the inclusion of audio files in the app which makes it really easy to understand about the detailed information regarding the attractions.

The guideline in this app is available in different languages for the convenience of the user and there is also an helpline which provides 24/7 help to the users. You can just call on 1330 and you will get all the help required by the operator.

Ultra Korea Music Festival

Ultra Korea Music Festival was held on 14th and 15th of June in Seoul Olympic Complex near Jamsil station. It is a huge music festival of its kind in Korea which is held once a year with lots of people, excitement and energy.
As a representative supporter of KTO, I managed to visit this festival on its first day, 14th of june, in the evening around 6 pm. When I reached the Jamsil station and found my way to Olympic stadium, I saw a huge number of people gathered around Olympic stadium with colorful dresses and smiles on their faces.                                 After getting the ticket, and waiting for my fellow supporters, along with the KTO staff, I entered the Olympic stadium. The whole stadium was almost full of people. Although, the festival was not started officially yet but the people were already dancing and enjoying. First we did a volunteer activity and then went to the main stadium ground for the ceremony.
Different DJs were rocking the floor and the people were just crazily dancing on the high beats of music. First we watched it just an observers and afterwards, we made our way into the conglomeration of people. Going in the mid of the gathering, we started dancing along with the other people. There was a lot of symmetry and energy in dance moves of the people and music beats making it a memorable and highly enjoyable event. We enjoyed the music and liveliness. 



 At the end, the best DJ in world AVICII was invited to the stage who was awaited for long. He really rocked the stage and the audience with his great selection of music beats.
