My dream vacation is to go Korea. A few reasons why I want to go there is because it has both physical and natural environments, many historical places of interest, has four seasons and have a lot of good food. It has many physical environments, I mean, at least more than Singapore. Some includes mountains, waterfalls, rivers, volcanoes and temperate rainforest. Some examples of mountains are Mount Halla (or Hallasan); Mount Changansan and Seongsan Ilchubong (Sunrise Peak). Mount Halla, rising up to 1950 metres, is the highest mountain in South Korea. Mount Halla is a massive shield volcano which forms the bulk of Jeju Island and is often taken as representing the island itself. Seongsan is a volcanic crater with vertical cliffs rises up from the shore. As the easternmost tip of Jeju Island, this area is the first to greet each day's new sun, thus earning the name of "Sunrise Peak." A hefty climb brings visitors to the top of the peak. Visitors are prevented from entering the crater by barbed wire, but they can

My dream vacation is to go Korea. A few reasons why I want to go there is because it has both physical and natural environments, many historical places of interest, has four seasons and have a lot of good food. It has many physical environments, I mean, at least more than Singapore. Some includes mountains, waterfalls, rivers, volcanoes and temperate rainforest. Some examples of mountains are Mount Halla (or Hallasan); Mount Changansan and Seongsan Ilchubong (Sunrise Peak). Mount Halla, rising up to 1950 metres, is the highest mountain in South Korea. Mount Halla is a massive shield volcano which forms the bulk of Jeju Island and is often taken as representing the island itself. Seongsan is a volcanic crater with vertical cliffs rises up from the shore. As the easternmost tip of Jeju Island, this area is the first to greet each day's new sun, thus earning the name of "Sunrise Peak." A hefty climb brings visitors to the top of the peak. Visitors are prevented from entering the crater by barbed wire, but they can still enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding area. Jagged rocks stick up like teeth along the crater's perimeter. It is definitely worth the view, even if you do not make it in time for the sunrise. There is even a waterfall on Jeju Island called the Cheonjiyeon Waterfall. Jeju Island is a is a volcano, said to be erupted 800 years ago, and the large crater was formed a million years before, it is still considered as a volcano as it is still dormant. For rivers, one good example would be the Han River. It flows through Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Last but not least for physical features, we have temperate rainforests. Gangwon Rainforest is one of the largest rainforest in Korea.

There are many human environment is Korea too. Such as cities, man-made rivers, man-made lakes, theme park and last but not least, palaces. Attractions in the cities can be Seoul Tower, an attraction that is a must to visit. Man-made rivers include the Cheonggyecheon Stream, an $84 billion five-year green growth project that aims to boost energy efficiency and green technology. Man-made lakes are simply reservoirs; lotte world and everland are forms of theme parks. Palaces are one of the greatest attractions of Korea. It brings in their history. Some palaces are really preserved from the past till now, while some of them are rebuild due to burning. Some examples include the famous Gyeongbokgung palace and Gyeonghuigung palace. In conclusion, I really hope to visit Korea because of its environment. It really has a balance in environment between physical and human environment. That makes it attracting to me~~~my dream vacation.
