What is the most beautiful place in Korea?
1-3
Beauty is largely divided into two kinds. They are artificial beauty and natural beauty. I think natural beauty is more beautiful than artificial one. However, people are destroying natural beauty. But still, the only place that people haven’t touched is DMZ (Demilitarized zone) in Korea.
Immediately after the Korean War, DMZ fell to ruins. There was nothing. There were only ashes. However, for 60 years, people couldn't go to DMZ. As time went on, Mother Nature restored it. Nowadays, DMZ is full of greenery. In other words, nature is perfectly saved in DMZ. Many rare animals live in DMZ. Also there are many natural monuments. It is beauty of pure nature. I think, right now, beauty is nowhere to be found except for DMZ.
Destruction of the environment is becoming more and more serious, especially in Korea. Almost all mountains have been changed into highways and apartments. Rivers have been changed into plains, and the plains have been changed into factories. Beaches were turned into plains to build factories, apartments, and agricultural lands. So wild animals could live nowhere and many species became extinct. In such situation, the only intact beauty remains in DMZ, Korea. Therefore I think DMZ is the most beautiful place in Korea.
