You might be thinking that as long as you’re with your special ones (whether it be family, friends or lover), it won’t matter where you spend it. But as the days get closer, the feeling of wanting to spend the one and only last day of the year with some class will probably start lingering in your mind. But the worry is how to plan all this. Well, swanky gifts, great music and special events, amazing food as well as posh drinks to compliment are all set up at select hotels around Seoul. If you’ve got a few spare bills in your pocket, pick your choice, dress up, and head out to your selection!

The best places to see the sunrise and sunset in Seoul
  • Attractions
  • Public spaces
"I'll tell you how the sun rose,--  A ribbon at a time.  The steeples swam in amethyst,  The news like squirrels ran.  The hills untied their bonnets,  The bobolinks begun.  Then I said softly to myself,  "That must have been the sun!"  - Emily Dickinson    Just as some interpret Emily Dickinson's poem to be about birth and death, many in Korea observe the sun as the year comes to a close and take a time of reflection. For the country's best views, the truth is most flock to the East Coast or to Jeju Island, but for those of you who might want to make a simple gesture without leaving the city - here are some great views for you to be inspired.
