Where is the capital of South Korea?

Hello, I am happy to answer your question. The capital of South Korea is Seoul. Geographical environment: The terrain on which Seoul rests should be regarded as a geomantic treasure for South Korea, which accounts for 80% of its mountainous area. This is the lower reaches of the Han River, only 30 kilometers away from the west coast of the Korean Peninsula. The Han River flows slowly from east to west, with a water surface width of about 400 to 1,000 meters. This width is already a rare large river on the peninsula. The city stretches along a gentle river valley and is naturally divided into two areas: north and south. The city is surrounded by low mountains and hills with an altitude of about 500 meters, such as Leh Fortress, which plays a natural protective role. However, 600 years ago, this city was still called Hanyang. When it was the capital of the Joseon Dynasty, the city's tentacles were far from reaching the banks of the Han River. At that time, Hanyang Mansion was only limited to a small basin between four hills north of the Han River (Beiyue Mountain, Luoshan Mountain, Inwang Mountain, and Nanshan Mountain). The perimeter of the city wall was about 18 kilometers. For more than 500 years of the Joseon Dynasty, the urban area of ​​Seoul never exceeded a radius of 3 kilometers, and the population was only about 200,000. Today's Seoul, the urban area has expanded to 627 square kilometers, the population has reached 12 million, and the Han River has truly become a river running through the urban area. In the past, Nanshan, the southern edge of the city, is now just a central high point in Jiangbei District, but it still retains the name "Nanshan". Economic Development Seoul's economy has developed rapidly since the 1960s. In the early 1960s, South Korea implemented an export-oriented economic development strategy, supported large enterprises, vigorously developed the export processing industry, and achieved economic takeoff. In addition, Seoul also strives to develop tourism. Seoul is connected to Japan, Southeast Asia, and European and American countries by air routes. Tourists from all over the world can easily travel between Seoul and European and American countries. Domestically, Seoul is also connected by expressways to major cities such as Busan and Incheon, making transportation very convenient. The Seoul-Incheon Line is South Korea's first modern expressway. The Seoul-Busan expressway passes through the industrial hub cities of Suwon, Cheonan, Daejeon, Gumi, Daegu and Gyeongju, marking an important step forward in South Korea's efforts to expand and modernize its transportation network. The Seoul subway has 13 lines, the fifth longest in the world, and the fourth largest passenger volume in the world. The MTR has state-of-the-art facilities, with fully automated ticketing and collection systems. Urban Planning Therefore, Seoul has a dangerous terrain and is an important military fortress and material distribution center, land transportation hub, international airport, Korean government agencies, finance, enterprises, cultural and educational undertakings and publicity agencies in South Korea. Seoul concentrates 29.7% of the total number of Korean enterprises, 28.8% of the GDP, 41.6% of the total number of finance, institutions, and stores, and 37.4% of the wholesale and retail sales. Yeouido also houses South Korea's Yeouido Plaza and the 63-story 63 Building, a symbol of Seoul. There is also the National Assembly Building, the embassy area, the Korea Stock Exchange (KSE) and South Korea's three major television stations. Industrial Transportation - Resources: There are few mineral resources and their reserves are not large. Due to the lack of natural resources, South Korea relies on imports of major industrial raw materials. ——Industry Seoul’s economy has developed rapidly since the 1960s. In the early 1960s, South Korea implemented an export-oriented economic development strategy, supported large enterprises, vigorously developed the export processing industry, and achieved economic takeoff. The world's top Korean companies in the world, such as Samsung, LG, Hyundai and Hyundai Group, are all headquartered in Seoul. The service industry accounts for 63.2% of South Korea's GDP, which is above the country's GDP average[1]. In 2006, Seoul's per capita GDP was $24,500. As the center of South Korea's service industry, Seoul serves as the concentration point of the domestic service industry, allowing the country's economic development to be maintained. The Korea Stock Exchange (KSE), which raises funds for corporate finance, is located in Yeouido, Seoul. ——Transportation Seoul Subway Seoul is connected by routes to Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States. Domestically, Seoul is also connected by expressways to major cities such as Busan and Incheon, making transportation very convenient. The Seoul-Incheon Line is South Korea's first modern expressway.

And this "plastic surgery capital" is still trying to export its "latest fashion" overseas. Game, film and television industry Another industry that has caused great controversy is also thriving in Seoul, and that is online games. Five years ago, online games had not yet gained the reputation of the "ninth art" today, and this field was still dominated by Americans and Japanese. However, as the South Korean government strongly supports the development of the game industry as a pillar industry of the national economy, the "virtual arena" on the Internet has been rapidly rewritten. The government invests up to 50 billion won in the gaming industry every year and provides long-term low-interest loans to gaming companies. South Korea has always adhered to a system that requires all men to serve in the military for two years. Now, in order to encourage high-tech talents to work in the game industry, the government has even exempted them from military service for the first time. South Korea's game industry is now three pillars apart from the United States and Japan, and has the potential to dominate the world. Seoul has also become the "ninth city of art" in the hearts of countless game fans. More than 1,000 game development companies gather here. In the techonmart building, which symbolizes the achievements of Korea's information industry, the "Korean Game Support Center", a game industry guild, occupies seven floors. Although the penetration rate of broadband in Korean households has exceeded 80%, young Koreans 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 China, as of 2003, 6 million of the 8 million online game players were playing games from Seoul. The fashionable youth in Seoul may be addicted to the game space for 4 hours a day, but there is still a kind of power that can temporarily drag them away from the computer, rush to the street to buy a ticket, and then send them to another virtual world , that’s the movie. Compared with Korean TV dramas that have quietly conquered the market in various parts of Asia over the years, the sudden rise of the Korean film industry is as legendary as the plot of the film itself. In 2003, in Hong Kong, which enjoys the reputation of "Oriental Hollywood", the "Made in Seoul" movie defeated the big-invested movies from the United States and Hong Kong and became the box office champion. Korean films have absorbed and imitated Hollywood's production methods and cleverly maintained a balance between Western trends and Eastern cultural styles, achieving success in the entire Asian market with cultural homology. Through the "taste cultivation" of film and television companies, even historical[1]-themed films are now loved by young people in Seoul.
