Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Koguryo Tombs are fascinating. However, you may need an invitation to visit this capital of North Korea. In which city are the Koguryo Tombs located?

Answer: Pyongyang

Pyongyang (Pyeongyang) is the capital of North Korea. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site, the first in the country. If you are fortunate enough to get an invitation, you might be amazed by the structure and ancient cave drawings.

2. This beautiful island is a popular tourist destination for many South Koreans and Japanese tourists. What is the name of this island which is also known as "Korea's Hawaii"?

Answer: Jeju Island

Jeju Island, also known as JejuDo, is a magnificent place to visit. It has numerous beaches, exquisite volcanic caves and a thriving tourism industry. It is often characterized as having three major abundances. That is, an ample supply of rocks, brisk winds and robust women.

3. Your trip to East Asia would be lacking without a visit to the largest city and capital city of South Korea. Which city is it?

Answer: Seoul

Seoul is the largest city and capital of South Korea. The city is replete with wonderful museums, parks, resorts and shrines. There are really too many sites to mention. It depends upon your personal interests and tastes.

Answer: Panmunjeom

Even though many tourists visit this somewhat formidable site, it remains a reminder of the tensions that exist between North and South Korea. It is also referred to as the Korean DMZ. (Demilitarized Zone)

5. The name of this city in South Korea literally means, "Cauldron Mountain." It is the second largest city in South Korea. Which city is it? ("San" means mountain in Korean.)

Answer: Busan

Haeundae is one of Busan's more famous beaches. Interestingly enough, a film was also made with the name, "Haeundae." It has to do with a tsunami destroying this area. In addition, Busan is one of the most important ports in South Korea. It rivals Seoul in being a delightful cosmopolitan place to visit in Korea.

6. Let's travel to a tower that is located in the capital city of Japan. Godzilla, Mothra and even King Kong have tried to destroy this tower in films. What is the name of this city?

Answer: Tokyo

Once you ascend this magnificent tower, you can identify many of the popular sites in Tokyo. It is one of the highest artificial towers in Japan. If you happen to get a chance to visit this incredible site, watch out for giant monsters.

7. Contrary to popular belief, you really can't see this structure from the moon. Nevertheless, it is spectacular in scope and magnitude. In which country is the Great Wall located?

Answer: China

This magnificent structure is legendary and simply spectacular. Many eager tourists flock to the site on a regular basis. During the Ming Dynasty, the wall was fortified with enhanced building materials. As to whether this great structure can be seen from space is still a matter of conjecture.

Answer: Ulan Bator

If you have arrived in the city of Ulan Bator in the winter, you should be wearing plenty of clothes or a space-suit. The temperatures can plummet to -40 degrees. That is the point at which Fahrenheit and Centigrade are the same. Even so, there are many cultural sights to see in Ulan Bator. Ulaanbaatar is also an accepted spelling of the capital.

9. Eager to see a Giant Panda? Well, this is the country in Asia that you should visit. In which country is the Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries located?

Answer: China

Welcome to Sichuan, China! Here, we can see our favorite Giant Panda, the red panda and other rare species. In addition, you can view over 5,000 species of flora. A friendly panda might allow you to share some bamboo treats.

Answer: Jebudo

Admittedly, Jebudo is not a prime tourist spot. However, you can view a semblance of the "parting of the sea," if you arrive at the precise time. It is quite interesting to view this phenomenon. Otherwise, you can simply wade in the muddy shores and catch some sea creatures.
