Where is the capital of Korea?

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. The capital of South Korea is Seoul. Geographical environment The terrain that Seoul relies on should be regarded as a treasure trove of geomantic omen for South Korea, where the mountainous area accounts for 80%. This is the lower reaches of the Han River, only 30 kilometers from the west coast of the Korean Peninsula. The Hanjiang River flows slowly from east to west, and the water surface is about 400 to 1000 meters wide, which is already a rare river on the peninsula. The city spreads along gentle valleys and is naturally divided into two regions: the north and the south. Around the city, low mountains and hills about 500 meters above sea level, such as Liechengguo, play a natural protective role. However, 600 years ago, the city was called Hanyang. When it was the capital of the Korean dynasty, the city's tentacles were far from reaching the banks of the Han River. At that time, Hanyang Mansion was confined to a small basin between four hills north of Hanshui River (Beiyue, Luoshan, Wang Ren and Nanshan), and the circumference of the city wall was about18km. In the last 500 years of the Korean dynasty, the urban area of Seoul never exceeded a radius of 3 kilometers, and the population was only about 200,000. Today's Seoul has an urban area of 627 square kilometers and a population of120,000. The Hanjiang River has really become a river across the city. Nanshan, once the southern edge of the city, is now only a central commanding height in Jiangbei District, but it still retains the name of Nanshan. Economic development Seoul's economy has developed rapidly since the 1960s. In the early 1960s, South Korea implemented the export-oriented economic development strategy, supported large enterprises, and vigorously developed export processing industry, thus achieving economic take-off. In addition, Seoul also vigorously develops the tourism industry of the World Trade Center in Seoul. Seoul has air links with Japan, Southeast Asia and European and American countries, and tourists from all countries can easily travel freely between Seoul and European and American countries. At home, Seoul is also connected with major cities such as Busan and Incheon through expressways, and the traffic is very convenient. Seoul-Incheon Line is the first modern expressway in Korea. Seoul-Busan Expressway passes through Shui Yuan, Tianan, Daejeon, Kamei, Daegu and Gyeongju, which marks an important step for South Korea to expand and modernize its transportation network. Seoul Metro has 13 lines, the fifth in length and the fourth in passenger flow. The subway has the most advanced facilities, and the ticketing and charging systems are automated. Seoul is an important military fortress and material distribution center, a land transportation hub, an international air station, a Korean government agency, and a financial, corporate, cultural and educational undertaking and publicity agency. Seoul accounts for 29.7% of the total number of Korean enterprises, 28.8% of GDP, 4 1.6% of the total number of financial institutions and shops, and 37.4% of the wholesale and retail industries. There are also Ruyi Island Plaza in South Korea and Building 63, a landmark building in Seoul, with 63 floors in total. Ruyi Island also has three major TV stations: the National Assembly Hall, the Embassy District, the Korea Stock Exchange (KSE) and South Korea. Industrial transportation resources, mineral resources are few, and the reserves are not large. Due to the lack of natural resources, South Korea relies on imports for its main industrial raw materials. -Industry Seoul's economy has developed rapidly since the 1960s. In the early 1960s, South Korea implemented the export-oriented economic development strategy, supported large enterprises, and vigorously developed export processing industry, thus achieving economic take-off. South Korea's top companies such as Samsung, LG, Hyundai and Hyundai Group are headquartered in Seoul. Service industry accounts for 63.2% of Korea's GDP, which is higher than the national average [1]. In 2006, Seoul's per capita GDP was $24,500. As the center of South Korea's service industry and the focal point of domestic service industry, Seoul has maintained the economic development of the whole country. Korea Stock Exchange (KSE), as a fund-raising enterprise, is located in Ruyi Island, Seoul. -Transportation Seoul Metro Seoul has air links with Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe and America. At home, Seoul is also connected with major cities such as Busan and Incheon through expressways, and the traffic is very convenient. Seoul-Incheon Line is the first modern expressway in Korea. Seoul-Busan Expressway passes through industrial centers such as Shui Yuan, Tianan, Daejeon, Kamei, Daegu and Gyeongju. Seoul Metro has 13 lines, the fifth in length and the fourth in passenger flow. It is really a big problem to arrange the living and living of a quarter of the population in the land that only occupies the national area of1160. Today, on both sides of the Han River, there are pieces of slightly old high-rise apartments, which were built with the extremely expanding population of Seoul since the 1960s and 1970s. These buildings are the products of large-scale industrial manufacturing, with similar shapes and the same color, all of which are a combination of light gray, deep red and dark green. If you look closely, you will find that almost every apartment is decorated exactly the same. This architectural style of practicality first, aesthetic feeling and individuality second is not only reflected in the civil buildings in Seoul. On Ruyi Island, which is known as "Manhattan, South Korea", there are many banks and large corporate headquarters. Except for the 249-meter "Building 63, the tallest building in South Korea", there is no super-high grand building. If you want to see the rugged urban landscape like Hong Kong or Singapore here, you will definitely be disappointed. For China people who are used to the high-rise buildings in Pudong or Shenzhen, even Building 63 will not cause much visual impact. And the luxury of office buildings here is far less than that of similar buildings in Beijing's financial district. However, the economic strength of this seemingly mediocre city is equivalent to the sum of Shanghai and Beijing. Seoul has created nearly 30% of South Korea's GDP. Of the 12 companies in Korea, 1 1 is headquartered in Seoul. In Ruyi Island, which is not obvious, more than half of South Korea's bank deposits are collected, and its securities trading volume is unmatched by Shanghai and Shenzhen. Seoul Metro 1974 started operation, nine years later than Beijing, and even several months later than the opening of Pyongyang Metro. However, in just 20 years, it has developed into the ninth largest subway system in the world. It is not easy to take the subway in Seoul, because 7 million people use this kind of transportation every day, and the degree of congestion can be imagined. The lobby of the subway station is not very spacious, and there is no gorgeous decoration except billboards; There are few escalators at the subway entrance, so you have to walk up and down; The width and facilities of subway cars are almost the same as those of Beijing subway. Here, you can't see the beautiful decoration like the emerging Shanghai or Guangzhou subway, and you can't see the wide vehicles imported from Germany or France. It is only responsible for getting you to your destination accurately and on time, and comfort is secondary. But many Seoul people would rather give up their private cars than squeeze into the subway. Its road network and stations are so dense: nine lines, with a total length of 287 kilometers, and some lines are divided into several branch lines and extension lines; There are more than 300 stations, and there are more than 50 transfer stations alone. No matter where you want to go, whether it is airports, ports, railway stations, bus stations, offices, shopping malls, places of interest or leisure places, it is within the coverage of this network. 5: 30 am to evening 12. At rush hour, the interval between trains is only 2 minutes. Seoul Metro is also the most economical city. No matter how to transfer, the fare is 700 won (5.6 RMB), and you can't even buy a bottle of drink in Seoul, where the price is high. Beauty For women in Seoul, even a relaxed and casual style still needs to be carefully matched and deliberately dressed. A Seoul resident said that if she didn't wear makeup before going out, she would feel as uncomfortable as not washing her face in the morning. Indeed, Korean women, regardless of their age and occupation, always wear exquisite clothes before going out. In the streets of Seoul, except for primary school students, there are almost no women facing the sky. This extraordinary persistent pursuit of appearance has created a developed beauty industry in South Korea. The "Beauty Campaign" in Seoul is not limited to selling cosmetics and skin care products. In recent years, the popularity of cosmetic surgery can be said to be a great miracle in South Korea. Zhengou Pavilion Cave in the south of the Yangtze River, originally a street with high-end fashion shops, has now become the most famous "plastic street" in Seoul, with more than 200 plastic surgery hospitals and clinics. After nightfall, most of the glittering neon signs come from "beauty processing factories". The buildings in this area are not tall. The first floor is usually a fashion shop, coffee shop or fast food restaurant, and the second floor and above are mostly plastic surgery hospitals. N Seoul Tower Seoul's cosmetics industry, the annual market scale has reached 200 million US dollars. And this "plastic surgery capital" is still trying to export its "latest fashion" overseas. Games, film and television industry, another controversial industry, is also booming in Seoul, and that is online games. Five years ago, online games did not get the reputation of "the ninth art" today, and this field was still dominated by Americans and Japanese. However, with the Korean government's strong support for the development of the game industry as a pillar industry of the national economy, the "virtual rivers and lakes" on the Internet were quickly rewritten. The government invests 50 billion won in the game industry every year and provides long-term low-interest loans for game companies. South Korea has always adhered to a system: all men must serve in military service for two years. Now, in order to encourage high-tech talents to engage in the game industry, the government even exempted them from military service for the first time. South Korea's game industry is now in a three-legged position with the United States and Japan, and it is likely to dominate the rivers and lakes. Seoul has also become the "ninth art capital" in the hearts of countless game fans. More than 65,438+0,000 game development enterprises gather here. In the techonmart building, which symbolizes the achievements of South Korea's information industry, the game industry guild "Korea Game Support Center" occupies seven floors. Although the broadband penetration rate of Korean families has exceeded 80%, young people in Korea still like to go to Internet cafes to play such group online games. On the streets of Seoul, there are more than 20,000 Internet cafes, large and small. In South China, as of 2003, among the 8 million online gamers, 6 million were playing games from Seoul. Fashionable young people in Seoul may be addicted to the game space for four hours every day, but there is still a force to drag them away from the computer for a while, rush to the street to buy a ticket, and then send them to another virtual world, that is, movies. Compared with the Korean dramas that have captured the market all over Asia in recent years, the sudden emergence of the Korean film industry is as legendary as the movie plot itself. In 2003, in Hong Kong, which enjoys the reputation of "Oriental Hollywood", the film "Made in Seoul" beat the big investment films in the United States and Hong Kong and became the box office champion. Korean films have absorbed and imitated Hollywood's production mode, and skillfully maintained the balance between western trends and eastern cultural styles, and achieved success in the entire Asian market with cultural homology. Through the "taste cultivation" of film and television merchants, even historical movies [1] are now loved by young people in Seoul.
