South Korea is leading as the world\u2019s most popular tourist destination these past few years. And with good reason, it offers natural wonders along with so many attractions; visitors are spoilt for choice to tease their minds and taste buds.<\/span><\/p>\n

These unique, quirky places interest tourists, sometimes more than the regular tourist spots that the country has to offer. Finding <\/span>affordable airline tickets<\/b><\/a> has become easier, so go visit South Korea. <\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>best way to book a flight<\/b><\/a> is to simply visit airfarebooking.ca and we\u2019ll do the rest for you.\u00a0 From the themed cafes and game rooms, to toilet museums and eating beondegi, it has no shortage of mind boggling experiences to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some of the quirkiest places to visit in South Korea. Go on and read about them.<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Themed cafes\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Themed cafes range from interacting with animals while having your regular decaf, to dressing up in costumes and playing princess.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in cat cafes, visit Godabang cat caf\u00e9 in Seoul for cuddles with the kitties. Visit dog caf\u00e9 at Bau House, with the pups well trained, and looking to lick your face, it is well worth a visit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling more adventurous, stop at the raccoon caf\u00e9 at Blind Alley and play with the raccoons there. If you want to visit a themed caf\u00e9 without animals, go for the Hello Kitty caf\u00e9 where everything is pink with Hello Kitty art.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or try wearing a ball gown or traditional Korean hanbok at the Princess Diary caf\u00e9 of Seoul.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Trick Eye Museum\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Trick Eye Museum is great at making visitors feel like they\u2019re a part of world\u2019s greatest art pieces like Da Vinci\u2019s Monalisa, or Edvard Munch\u2019s The Scream. <\/span><\/p>\n

Pose however you want with the trompe l\u2019oeil paintings, which is a classical art technique where the artist creates 2D paintings that look like 3D. <\/span><\/p>\n

The museum is a celebration of the interactive optical illusions filling the space. People get all sorts of goofy pictures, from silly to downright whimsical.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Yongma Land\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yongma Land was a thriving theme park in the 1980s run by a family. After 2011, it couldn\u2019t hold on its own. So instead of letting the run down figurines of Sailor Moon turn into waste, owners opened her up for a really small fee.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it hit the spot with the visitors, from the big shots of the entertainment industry making it a backdrop for music videos and movies to the Instagram lovers who\u2019d love to take a pic against the decrepit backgrounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

4) Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Renowned for being a haunted place, the Hospital has been abandoned for the last few decades due to rumors about the owner being insane and keeping the patients as prisoners.<\/span><\/p>\n

The patients had unexplained causes of death, causing the owner to flee to America in 1996. There are the old filthy mattresses, medical debris lying around, dark passages and cobwebs at every turn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The hospital was also rumored to be closed due to unsanitary conditions, improper sewage disposal system and the economic decline. <\/span><\/p>\n

While the hospital is officially closed for visitors and locals don\u2019t take kindly to trespassers, around 1000 people break in every year to satisfy their daredevilry.<\/span><\/p>\n

5) Mr. Toilet House\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is a free attraction, opened to the public in 2010 and named after its owner Sim Jaedeok\u2019s nickname. <\/span><\/p>\n

Made specifically for people who want to \u2018relieve one\u2019s concerns\u201d, it offers everything based on toilet and poop.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was built to promote sanitation in the town to commemorate World Toilet Association.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6) Safetown Amusement Park\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This amusement park offers unusual experiences like experiences of earthquakes, fires, hurricanes and other natural disasters first hand. <\/span><\/p>\n

The visitors are encouraged to go through the experiences so that they\u2019d know how to react in cases of emergencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

7) Walk Across the Ocean\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Miracle Sea Road festival takes place in April. Additionally, this phenomenon is caused by perfect weather conditions, enabling rocks, sand, and pebbles to protrude from the sea’s surface. Consequently, this creates a path to walk on from island to island.<\/p>\n

Many activities are offered for the visitors during this time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8) Teamlab World\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Teamlab World is in Seoul. Moreover, it offers visitors the opportunity to play, dance, and learn together. This interactive art exhibit is created by a team of programmers, animators, artists, architects, and other creative individuals, building dynamic art displays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
