Tour Highlights
- Korean Traditional Music and Dance
Seoul (D)
Evening is highlighted with Korea House. It is a comprehensive cultural complex representing the traditional Korean culture, promoting insight into the beauty of Korean tradition and customs. Nestled in the heart of Seoul, a spectacular group of historic buildings blend beautifully together with the surrounding nature. Intricate in detail and richly abundant in traditional offerings, they make up what is collectively known as Korea House. The main building, which was at one time a private home, is used as a small reception area, dining facility, and the performance venue.
You are ushered in to the Korean feast, with variety of traditional Korean dishes, then the dance and musical performance follows! One particularly fantastic performance is the fan dance. It originated from a folk ritual dance, in which a fan is employed in a dance that is both strong and passionate in artistic effect. The colors, movement, and lyrical melodies are truly a delight, and you are in awe of the rhythmic dancers and their visual masterpiece with their fans. Such perfection and grace is rarely seen. Other performances may include Pansori, a traditional Korean opera, a traditional shamanism dance, farmer's music and dance, or other traditional music. The tour offers an excellent opportunity to touch the feelings of Korean culture and glimpse a slice of Korean tradition of old Korea.
