Beijing, China---On Sep. 5th, 2012, 36 staffs of Beijing C&P set out for the Republic of Korea, beginning their foreign tour that took five daytime and four nights.

Our first stop was the capital of the Republic of Korea---Seoul. Following vehicles, we threaded our way between the history and modern time. We visited the 38th parallel, Cheong Wa Dae, Changdeokgung Palace, National Folk Museum, Cheong Gye Cheon, 63building, Yeouido and Seoul Tower. We felt both the heavy weight of history and today’s harmony.

The unique style of Seoul buildings attracted architects of C&P. Both ancient and modern buildings were simple and natural, perfectly integrating architecture, art and culture. 

Our second stop was Cheju island--- Hawaii in South Korea. We visited Yongdaum which was full of mythological color, the crater of the Ilchubog that was the biggest urban mountain in the world, the Magic Road which was called the ghost road, the eco-village of original inhabitants, Seopjicoji---where All-in was filmed, Nanta show, and Teddy Bear Museum whose theme was environment conservation. We were fascinated by these wonderful places and complained that the time went too quickly.

Through this trip, we not only learned South Korea’s unique history, culture, natural scenery and tradition, but also broadened architects’ horizons and enhanced the cohesion of our staffs. Through this trip, C&P again practiced its group culture successfully.
