Often referred to as the “Land of the Morning Calm,” Korea is located in North-East Asia. It is bordered by the Amnok River to the northwest, separating Korea from China, and the Duman River to the northeast which separates Korea from both China and Russia. Because of its unique geographical location, Korea is a very valuable piece of land and an international hub of Asia. It has also experienced the “Miracle of the Han River” – a period of highly accelerated export-fueled economic growth. (www.visitkorea.or.kr)
