Looking to go somewhere over the long weekends coming up in May. I'm not in Seoul, so travel time will have to include going to Seoul/Busan for the ferry to Japan, or Incheon.

Was thinking China, or Japan....

depends where you are. a weekend isn't very long. even a "long" one. get onto wikimapia (and google maps satellite mode) and scout about your area and check buses and trains. i'm sure you'll find something and you won't be spending the whole time traveling and stressing. its better for the environment too.

3 days or more in Japan is nice. Xanadu also does 4 day/3 night tours to Chinese cities.

Check flight info as you may be out of luck for the busy May holidays.

I always want 5 or more days to travel out of the country. With 3 or 4, I can always find places in Korea to go I've never been to.

Anyone know where there is a martial arts temple stay? I was told it's in the SE corner of Korea somewhere...

I'd be interested in suggestions for Korea, I have looked at flights etc and no real joy, although the beetle still has availability to Japan from busan if you are interested Darkness?

Could go to Qingdao or Dalian in China. both are more tha pleasant for a few days and have enough attractions.
