F. Seoul

Seoul is the capital city of Korea. The city lies at the center of the Korean peninsula. It is 605,522 square kilometers in size. The population of Seoul was 10,320,000 in 2000.
The Hangang River flows east to west through Seoul, and the mountain range stretching from the north contributes to the city landscape. The center of the city is mostly flat, but beautiful, spectacular mountains are situated in the suburbs and serve as a refuge for Seoul citizens. Since Seoul is the capital city of Korea, there are plenty of great cultural establishments and government offices, including the first integrated Government Building, the constitutional court, the National Assembly, various courts of law and Cheongwadae (the Presidential residence).
