Located at 126°
59' E and 37° 34' N, in the west central
part of the korean Peninsula, Seoul is both
the capital and the heart of the republic
of Korea. The Hangang River separates the
entire length of Seoul into two distinct
areas of north and south. The Hanbuk Mountain
Range, which branches off from the Baekdu-daegan
Range, the geological backbone of Korean
peninsula along the east coast, stretches
southwest, forming the northern contour
of Seoul. The city lies in a natural basin,
surrounded by a series of mountains and
hills, whose grandeur and magnificent scenic
beauty make the capital one of the most
attractive major cities of the world.
