Product Description

Review
"The latest in the batch of "Moon Handbooks releases proves again that Moon is one of the finest travel series around. What sets Moon apart from most guidebooks is the attention to detail, and more importantly, a respect for the topic."

Product Description
South Korea is a marriage of ancient and modern: a shopper's paradise, where secluded palaces hide amidst skyscrapers, and Buddhist figurines stand tall along hiking trails. How do you create your own mix of new and old? Moon Handbooks South Korea offers thorough coverage not only of major destinations like modern Seoul and the DMZ border area, but also of the country's 3,000 years of history nestled in it s quiet temples, secluded palaces, majestic peaks, and emerald-green islands. Thoroughly revised and updated, this guide is packed with fresh information on sights, recreation, and accommodation and dining options that cover a broad range of budgets and personal interests. Complete with detailed maps, fascinating sidebars, a newly expanded phrasebook, and a thorough introduction to the country's political and cultural history, Moon Handbooks South Korea is an intelligent choice for independent travellers wishing to experience everything this fascinating destination has to offer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best guide book around, 15 Sep 2005
A well written guide book, with lots of history and details about what your seeing. Cetainly a far superior book to the souless lonely planet attempt. This book contains lots more usefull public transport details, hiking trails, unusual activities, and out of the way places to stay. It allows you to rrealy get as far off the beaten track as you can in korea, and the writing gives a much better feel of korean culture. Also on the upside it doesn't take up most of the book giving accomodation and restaurant listings in big citys and only suggests a choice few from the hundreds that are so easily found everywhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Thumb through before buying, 18 Nov 2007
By Mr. Adam Peddel - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book having already had the Lonely Planet Guide to Korea and found it so so I thought I'd try this other book as the above review put in a favourable light. I'm just gonna say I think the above review stinks and that anyone who thumbs through this book will see its just pages and pages and pages of writing, dull old fashioned not really so relevant anymore writing at that. It was written in 1986 or something, sure its been updated but the feeling of what is now such a lively an exciting country is lost in this book.

It features no colour pictures, no colour coded subway maps, infact maybe not any subwat maps at all? Nodecent road maps, no close up maps of citie cetres or shopping areas. None that would actually make you want to carry it around all day rather than leave it at home or in the hotel wastepaper basket or something like that.

No quick tips, or what to visit in a day/two/three day type guides, no usefull sidebars or shortcuts.

Its just page after page of text broken by nothing but a few headings. I cant remember how comprehensive the dictioanry it has is either. If it is any good I'll update this review to say so.

So buy this book after actually looking at it first rather than one fanboys review!
