Description:

Admire the wonders of the sea at Seoul's COEX Aquarium, home to starfish, blowfish, and sharks, and then cruise along the picturesque Han River. As you visit the ancient temple of Bongeunsa, get a view of the temple's 75-foot (23-m) stone statue of Maitreya Buddha.

Begin at the impressive COEX Aquarium and as you see the vivid exhibits, follow the journey that water takes from the high Andean mountains through the rain forest to swamps, rivers, and the depths of the ocean. Walk through the underwater tunnel, witness the magnificence of 40,000 sea creatures, and visit the Fish in Wonderland exhibit where fish swim through traffic lights and live in computers and washing machines.

Next, board a leisurely cruise on the scenic Han River and then admire a view of the cityscape while you hear soothing music. Your final stop is the renowned Bongeunsa, a temple built during the reign of King Wonseong. Here, marvel at the intricate scriptures that decorate the walls and view the multiple miniature golden Buddhas.
