There are more than 1,000 stores, including Lotte World Mall, Atoll Outlets, Lotte Supermarket, movie theaters, duty-free shops, aquariums, and more. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info is said to be the largest amusement park in Asia, with two parts, indoor and outdoor, and the same as domestic amusement parks, this is really a lot of people, queuing for a project can be as little as half an hour, more than an hour!
After entering the park, you can go and get a map with a description of each item and its location. Day4 Park Hyatt Hotel is opposite Coexmall, super easy to visit! This is one of Seoul's largest entertainment malls, with a variety of shopping outlets, movie theaters, bookstores, video stores, snack bars, and large aquariums, so if you have some free time.
I don't know where to go, Coex can definitely keep you in for a day without getting bored. The subway passage in front of the hotel will reach the mall at the end. As soon as you enter the door, there are a lot of snack bars, and all kinds of fried chicken and fried squid are super tempting! Passing by the fruit store, the price of fruits in South Korea is really expensive and scary, such a box of apples costs 540 yuan!
I suddenly feel that I am extremely happy to live in the Celestial Empire! Watermelon 180 yuan a piece! But it's all produced in Korea! A variety of delicate breads. There are many coffee shops in Korea, with a variety of styles, but they all have unique decorative lights. Here you can see the only themed aquarium in Korea--- COEX Aquarium is.
It has 40 visiting pools and more than 140 breeding ponds, with a total of more than 6,000 species and about 40,000 marine creatures. At the entrance, visitors are welcomed with the theme of "Korean Ocean", which features a variety of fish from Dokdo, South Korea, such as the ornate yarrow and carp, which are said to lead to immortality. In addition, there are wheat ear fish and giant sunfish from North Korea.
Suitable for children under 12 years old. Those under the age of 18 can get a discount by showing their passports, and the largest bookstore in South Korea is also here, but Korean books are really expensive, and the price of a circle of books is more than 60 yuan each, and it costs 150 yuan to buy two books, which hurts. I wanted to eat barbecue at noon, so I asked the information desk and recommended this barbecue. There is a Chinese staff in the shop.
Such a grilled steak costs about 170 yuan. COEX is really good to shop, what brands are all Korean, European and American, and the whole is a big flat floor. If there is a store that must be visited, you must take a map, and then ask the help desk, they do not speak Chinese, you can only point out with your hands and draw a route for you. The price of most clothes is basically 3 or 400 yuan.
PS Shopping malls in South Korea close early, COEX is late, closing at 10 o'clock, but some stores close at 9 o'clock, and duty-free shops close at 9 o'clock. There are also some trainees performing in the mall in various clothing stores on the spot, but it's really not cheap, but I recommend two stores that I personally think are good, one is topman, and the price is very affordable.
Now the season is changing, there are a lot of dozens of dollars. There is also an eight-second, a local Korean brand, with a big discount, and the clothing design is better, so I bought a windbreaker and discounted it for 400 yuan. I chose to come to Incheon this time because I wanted to see the islands of South Korea, and I thought a lot about it before I went out, not sure if the flight would be canceled, and I was not sure whether I would go to Seoul first or go to Ganghwa Island as planned.
Too much uncertainty so even the hostel was not decided, after arriving to the tourist service counter to ask how to get to Ganghwa Island, but the lady at the front desk told An Yang that there was no bus until Jiang Hua arrived, and it would take a few transfers to get there, and then go to the bus ticket counter to ask two Oba, they checked for a long time, or told An Yang that he didn't know how to go. It seems complicated.
I don't want to go to Incheon first, and then I can find a way to do it slowly. I turned on my mobile phone and found the only hostel in Incheon with a good evaluation, and the cheapest price booked a bed in a six-person room for girls, 82 yuan with breakfast. But after checking for a long time, I couldn't find out how to get directly from the airport to the hostel (it looks close on the map), so I had to run back to the tourist service counter and ask.
The customer service lady helped An Yang get through to the hostel's phone, and the hostel immediately sent an email and attached a detailed road map to An Yang. And noted that if he can't find it, he can go to the subway station to pick up An Yang. An Yang followed the route map given by the hostel and found the hostel.
Transportation from the airport to Incheon Incheon subway guide Globetrotter-LoungeGuesthouse is located on the west side of Incheon, from the airport you have to take the subway to Geoman station, then walk left for 5 minutes to find the elevator under the highway to get on the expressway, there are two elevators, remember the one across the street.
There is a bus stop above, take bus 17 or 903 to Baekdu or Gihun stop, cross the street and follow the signs to find the entrance, go up to the 9th floor, room 902. Even though it looks close on the map, it took almost two hours to find the booked hostel by subway to bus. It turned out that the hostel was not in the center of Incheon, but in the west.
An apartment in a building, good thing the hostel's road map is detailed. I rang the doorbell, and it was a lean uncle who came out. Very warmly greeted An Yang into the house and finally went upstairs, rang the doorbell, and the owner of the hostel came out to open the door. As soon as I entered, I was stunned, this is a hostel, it is clearly a mansion, the hostel is completely different from other hostels, and the decoration is very luxurious.
It's exactly like a mansion, very clean, the floor is polished, you have to take off your shoes when you enter the house, the sofa, and the desktop are spotless. There is also a large TV in the lobby with two large sofas in front of the TV, an entertainment area on the right, and two laptops, pens, and sticky notes on the table. The whole living room is decorated with different plants in different places.
Make the whole house look alive. The hostel also houses an American couple whose husband is Korean-American. They have been staying for several days, and the whole hostel is just three people, Yang and Blue Whale, and the uncle said that there are many guests who have canceled their orders because of MERS these days. The owner of the hostel was very enthusiastic to take Anyang to the multi-person room, and the whole multi-person room was Anyang alone for two nights.
As soon as you enter the room, there is a large iron safety cabinet after the door, each bed is a grid, valuables can be locked in the cabinet, this is too important for the hostel, there are six bunk beds in the multi-person room, the smell of sunlight on the sheets has not dissipated, the large glass window of the room is not only good lighting, the air is good, there is a large wardrobe, and there is a row of peaches hanging next to the wardrobe.
There is a small Xiaoice box next to the wardrobe and a pot of flowers on the refrigerator. The details show the care of the hostel's owner. There is a charging plug next to each bed, because there is no adapter plug, An Yang asked the hostel owner if he borrowed it, and he went downstairs to buy a new one without saying a word. After packing up his things, he ran to his bed and touched the sheets.
So dry, so clean, feel so comfortable, the floor is needless to say, from the beginning of the foot is a refreshing feeling, the owner wipes the floor with a hand cloth every day. I originally planned to stay here for only one night, but then I couldn't resist staying for an extra night. Needless to say, South Korea is one of the fastest countries in the world, and it is rare to say that the network is not good after staying in so many hostels.
The dormitories have two shared bathrooms, and the decoration style is almost identical except for the different toilet boards. One of the toilet plates is estimated to be the kind of Chinese people who go to Japan to grab it, it's too high-end, and Anyang won't use it anyway. Except for bath time, the floor in the bathroom is almost always dry, and sometimes the toilet is used.
The next time I go back, I will clean up again immediately, does the owner have a habit of cleanliness? Shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, slippers are all available, the water temperature and water pressure are stable and normal, and the floor is also covered with non-slip mats, and the whole bathroom is completely clean and unhygienic. What a drunk! On the other side of the living room is the dining area, which has three dining tables, two of which are joined together.
There are also potted flowers on the countertop of the leaflet, and various seasonings are placed next to them. The dining room is also elegantly furnished, with tablecloth potted plants matching each other. Korean hostels generally have kitchens, because it is expensive to eat out, and when the host took An Yang to visit the kitchen, he specially introduced that all the things in the kitchen, including all the food, can be used and eaten casually.
Once again, I was stunned, because Korean food is very expensive, so most hostels will not provide breakfast, and even if there is, it is just simple bread and coffee. But look inside the kitchen, there are instant noodles, kimchi, eggs, milk, jam, bread, instant coffee and more. The key is that it is also supplied all day, did An Yang hear it wrong? Because I can't believe it.
So for dinner, An Yang still went to the supermarket to buy noodles and vegetables and came back to make them, but the host saw An Yang buying vegetables by himself, and emphasized that the hostel not only provides breakfast, but also eats as long as the food that can be found in the kitchen. There are drying equipment on the balcony, anyway, the hostel has everything. No, I'll have to go back and stay again when we get back.
The balcony looks out with a great view. The host also helped to print out the subway line and the route map to Ganghwa Island, and when I left, I took a few bus stops to send it to the bus from Anyang to Ganghwa Island, which I haven't been so moved for a long time. This hostel is like a hidden gem, so despite how tired she was during the trip, Anyang decided to share it with everyone.
Chinatown (Empire City)Incheon does not have many famous attractions and is not a popular tourist city, Chinatown is almost a must-visit place in Incheon. The American couple in the same hostel said that they had been to Chinatown yesterday and felt great, they liked the old buildings there, and they also told Anyang to take the subway, saying that it would take a long time to transfer to the bus, but it was visible on Google Maps.
The time to take the subway is the same as taking the bus, but the subway has to be transferred, and the bus seems to have until, so An Yang finally decided to take the bus. As a result, the bus still didn't arrive, and it took nearly two hours to arrive after three turns, and with the help of a Korean uncle on the bus, he happened to go to the vicinity of Chinatown and asked An Yang to follow him to transfer.
So sometimes you can't trust Google Maps too much. I remember that I said before that I would not miss the Chinatown of each country, and I felt that the Chinese people living in Korea were better than other countries compared to the countries I had been to before, and the scale of the restaurants was also larger, and the business was good, and sure enough, culture was the biggest barrier.
Although there are still differences between Chinese and Korean cultures, most of them are still similar, and the food culture is also similar. The bus stop stops right next to Chinatown, while the subway station is just across the street. The style of Chinatowns abroad is very traditional and festive, but this traditional style has almost disappeared in their own country. Passing through the Good Neighbor Gate, behind it is Freedom Park, and the mountain is not high.
It's about a 10-minute walk to the top. Chinese people open fruit shops, but the taste is still different. Luxurious Chinese restaurant with a lot of prices. But you can also find cheap ones, and you can find delicious ones in Chinatowns abroad anyway. Songwoldong Fairy Tale Village walks along Chinatown, and you inadvertently walk into the fairy tale world, this fantastic street.
A variety of pink houses, either designed as castles or cartoon houses, incorporate various comic characters into the house. The original old houses suddenly changed their appearance, as if under the wave of the magic wand of the flower fairy, they suddenly became a colorful world. This is the entrance to the fairy tale village. This ice cream parlor sells syringe ice cream that is very kawaii!
Although Fairy Tale Village and Chinatown are completely different, they complement each other well, for example, most of the shops in Chinatown are engaged in Chinese restaurants and snacks. Most of the fairytale villages are cafes and dessert shops, boutiques. After lunch in Chinatown, take a slow walk to the fairytale village, take your time, take your time, take your time, and find a fine café or dessert shop when you get tired.
Squander on a long afternoon. Don't look at this small place, it will take hours to walk around while shooting. When Chinatown meets Fairy Tale Village, the two cultures blend just right, and watching these houses that were originally to be demolished become popular tourist areas, I can't help but wonder why there is no awareness of protecting ancient buildings. These are treasures left over from history.
It is non-renewable, some time ago I took two foreign friends to Guangzhou Shangxiajiu, they saw those old houses fascinated, it can be seen that people want to see not high-rise buildings, but even if it is a brick and a tile. Tips: Transportation: Take subway line 1 from Seoul and get off at Incheon Station, opposite Chinatown.
From Incheon Airport to Chinatown, take the Airport Line from Incheon Airport to Gyeyang, transfer to Incheon Line 1, then take to Bupyeong and change to Line 1 and get off at the terminal Incheon. Accommodation: It's not very easy to get cheap accommodation in the Incheon area, although there are also on Agoda and Booking, but there are not many options and the price is high, you can try using Airbnb.
Dining: There are still more choices in the Chinatown area, and the prices are moderate. Internet: Free Wi-Fi hotspots are more popular in Incheon than in Seoul or other cities, and you can connect to them almost as soon as you hit the street. Turn on the wifi and see the hotspot of IPTIME is free. Day4 Ganghwado AsacacGuesthouse is also convenient from Incheon to Ganghwado.
There is a bus No. 90 direct, Jianghua Island is not a tourist hotspot, there are not many hostels, I have been looking for a long time on the Internet, there is only one youth hostel, so the bed is very expensive, including breakfast nearly 150 yuan a night, and other estimates are also some homestays that are not online, if you go to find it again, you should be able to find it, but because you only play for a few days, you will not toss.
