385 Canghai
On each floor, there are lounges that supply drinking water and powder rooms, and elegant bathroom coats are generally about 300 yuan, the price of small shirts ranges from about 100 yuan, and bags are more expensive, if they are cowhide, they must be more than 500 yuan, and more beautiful ones are more than 800 yuan. Personally, I think Korean jewelry is more expensive, but the design is very beautiful.
The price is generally more than 100 yuan for the beautiful and exquisite ones, and there are some discounts of 30-50 yuan. Generally, you don't need to bargain when buying things in Korea, and you will be cheaper for 10 or 20 yuan at most, but in Dongdaemun, you need to bargain more, because there are too many foreigners here, so you may have to bargain the price.
Generally, more than 500 yuan can be talked about 100 yuan. If you are in Korea for more than 3 days, it is recommended to go to other places such as Ewha Girl University, Jamsil Basement, or Lotte and Hyundai Department Store to buy something. Dongdaemun is too complicated and tiring to pick. On top of that, nothing here is branded.
There are almost no trademarks. [Although the things in the boutique are not cheap, there are many styles, which are not common in China and can not even be found] (let's buy it, of course, we can't buy Taobao models, right!) Seoul's public transportation in the city is very convenient, especially the free policy when transferring buses and subways, which is convenient for citizens and tourists.
Traveling by public transport, there is no place in Seoul that you can't get to. The area density covered by public transportation in Seoul is also very large, and the relatively concentrated and well-distinguished scenic spots and shopping areas allow you to easily get around the city of Seoul just by taking public transportation. The most convenient way to get around Seoul is to buy a T-Money transportation card.
Similar to Hong Kong's Octopus, not only can you take the subway, buses, taxis, but also can be used to buy things at convenience stores, the cost of the card is 3,000 won, and the card with a higher value costs 4,000 won, and the recharge amount is arbitrary, and almost all subway stations and convenience stores sell this card. You can get a refund of 2,000 won at designated subway stations.
However, my personal advice is not to return, one is very troublesome to find a designated subway station, and the other is that this card is valid for life, and it is not bad to keep it for the next time you come to South Korea or give it to a friend. Bus: Bus stop signs in Seoul do not have Chinese names like subway station signs. Therefore, if you do not know Korean, it is recommended not to take the bus.
It is enough to take the metro. Subway: For tourists, the subway is the most convenient and fast means of transportation to get around Seoul, with a total of nine subway lines crisscrossing the city to all corners of the city, even the nearby Gyeonggi Province area, many of which have Chinese station names. It is recommended that you download the "Korea Metro" APP.
Enter the start and end points and the system will tell you how to get there, even the exact time it takes, which is very convenient, and locate the current location, and the system will also tell you where the nearest metro station is. Taxi: Taxis in Seoul are clean and safe, and are a relatively convenient means of transportation, and taxis can be hailed on the side of the road or at the taxi stand.
Taxis vary in price according to different colors, and are generally divided into two types: ordinary taxis and model taxis, which are generally black and have drivers who speak English, which is convenient for foreign tourists, with a starting price of about 5,000 won and an additional 200 won for each additional 144 meters after 2 kilometers.
Regular taxis are orange, silver and white, and the service is good, but most of the drivers don't speak English, so you need to have the Korean name of your destination ready to take the ride, and the starting fare is around 3,000 won, and after 2 kilometers, you will be charged 100 won for each additional 144 meters. Transportation from Incheon Airport to the city.
Incheon Airport is far from downtown Seoul, and the most convenient transportation is the airport bus, which is divided into premium buses and regular buses. Premium buses can directly reach hotels in Seoul and have fewer stops, making them faster than regular buses. Regular buses take longer and make more stops than premium buses.
The fare for a regular bus is about 10,000 won, and the fare for a premium bus is about 16,000 won. In addition to the airport bus, you can also choose the more economical Airport Railway. There are two types of trains: direct trains and local trains, and the cost and facilities of the two trains are slightly different. Take a direct train from Incheon Airport to Seoul Station, which takes about 45 minutes and costs only 4,000 won.
ShoppingWhen it comes to Seoul, the first thing that comes to many people's minds must be shopping! That's right, how can you not buy and buy when you go to shopping paradise! Based on the experience of LZ twice, I would like to recommend something that I personally feel is worth buying. 1. Skin care and makeup. Korean cosmetics are well-known all over the world, especially for Hwakook Girl Paper.
Compared with European and American makeup, Korean makeup will be more suitable for your skin type, and both men and women of all ages can find skin care products that suit them. There are many cosmetics stores in Myeongdong, Seoul, where almost all Korean brands can be found, and you can also enjoy a tax refund if you buy a certain amount, but nowadays many small stores will be shoddy.
It is recommended that you must go to the store of a certain brand to buy it, so as not to buy fakes. If you find it too much to get a tax refund, you may want to go to a duty-free shop. 2. Clothing. As a fashion capital, Seoul has always led the trend of Hwakook in the design of clothing. I bought a lot of so-called Korean versions or custom-made in China, and when I went to Korea, of course, I bought a few real madeinkorea clothes to reward myself.
Many people go to South Korea to buy clothes are the first choice Dongdaemun, where shopping malls are concentrated, wholesale and retail are available, but the quality is uneven, many clothes are made in China, and the quality is still worse than the real Hallyu clothing. I recommend everyone to go to doota, the clothes in this mall are relatively expensive, but you get what you pay for.
The quality and style is definitely one of the best in all the malls! In addition, Dongdaemun is suitable for evening shopping, and it is open until 5 a.m. the next day! So don't waste your precious time during the day. In fact, there is a more desirable clothing district in Seoul than Dongdaemun, which is located on Konkuk University Exit 6 on Line 2.
It is said that this is the source of first-hand goods, and many Dongdaemun clothing styles can be found here, and the prices will be much cheaper. However, it is not open overnight, and it is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. 3. Although it is a German brand, South Korea is the cheapest country in the world to buy it.
You can see this brand in Myeongdong, major department stores, duty-free shops, and airports in Seoul, and the price is the same, but the inventory and style of each store are different, so if you have a fancy one, be sure to get it in time! 4. Korean ginseng. Korea is one of the origins of Korean ginseng, and the most famous of them is red ginseng, which is great for medicinal purposes or stews.
The most famous brand is CheongKwanJang which can be found everywhere in Seoul, and although the price is relatively expensive, the quality is also the best, so if you don't know how to choose, it is recommended to buy it from a big brand. 5. All kinds of snacks. When you go to Seoul, you must visit the local supermarkets to buy some snacks and come back, knowing that they are not cheap to buy at a certain treasure.
Some of the more popular snacks are: banana milk, honey yuzu tea, sin ramen, seaweed, honey butter almonds, shrimp crackers, potato chips. 【Practical APP】This time I went to Seoul, I mainly used the following 7 apps, each of which is very useful. 1. Self-guided tour in South Korea, this is an app released by the Korea Tourism Administration, which is relatively official and has complete attraction information.
There are also recommended routes. 2. South Korea's subway, this is the most used APP, it is very convenient to transfer and search for nearby subway stations. 3. Hanchao map, all large and small attractions, restaurants and hotels are on it, the information is more powerful than the Korean self-guided tour, and it also comes with navigation, supporting Chinese and Korean search.
4. GoogleMaps, this app is almost used by Blue Whale every time he goes abroad, but in Seoul, it is not so practical, and it is very limited to enter English to find places, unless you understand Korean, otherwise it is a chicken rib. 5. Translator, this is an app launched by Mafengwo, which brings together the languages of the world's popular travel countries, although the translation is relatively mechanical.
But the meaning is basically clear, especially in a country like South Korea, where English is not very popular, and it is still very useful to have a translator. 6. iMoney, a well-known exchange rate conversion app, will not explain much. 7. Shilla online duty-free shop, shopaholic you know! 【Departure Seoul】Accustomed to long-haul flights.
I was a little uncomfortable with the short one-and-a-half-hour flight to Seoul, and I landed just after eating a plane meal! Incheon International Airport has two terminals, the old terminal mainly for domestic flights, and is located together with the departure and arrival halls. The new terminal will carry foreign flights, and the boarding gates are 101~132.
There is a certain distance from the original terminal to the new terminal, and you need to take a shuttle train, so it is recommended that friends who board a plane in the new terminal must arrive at the airport 3 hours in advance to go through the procedures. The takeoff and landing of Air China by An Yang and Blue Whale were all in the new terminal, and when they first got off the plane, they were still thinking about where to pick up their luggage, and they only understood when they watched the footsteps of the large army.
Originally, you had to take this train to get to the arrivals hall. When I arrived in Seoul, I didn't bother to rest and went straight to Myeongdong. Of course, the blue calf isn't there to shop, it's to forage! I've always been obsessed with the super delicious bibimbap at Jeonju Jungkaikan that I ate in Myeongdong three years ago.
This has also become a large part of the reason for the blue whale to revisit the old land. Shuttling through the crowd of people in Myeongdong, there are all kinds of shops and clerks standing at the door to do business on both sides, but Blue Whale has no intention of paying attention to them at all, and follows the navigation all the way to find the Jeonju Central Hall. When the navigation tells the blue whale that its destination has arrived, the blue whale knows that it has been pitted again!
Even though it's been three years, I still remember a thing or two about the environment around that store, so it's not here! I asked a few nearby clerks and police officers Shu Huang, and the directions given were also varied, I thought that this store was very famous in Myeongdong, but I didn't expect that many people didn't know about its existence. The search has been fruitless for a long time.
An Yang and Blue Whale can only give up temporarily, and casually enter a store to eat a stone pot bibimbap, the No.1 stone pot bibimbap in their hearts, An Yang and Blue Whale will see you at night! Since this is the second time I have been to Seoul, I naturally want to try my best to make up for my previous regrets and visit the spots I have never visited before. On the first leg of the trip, An Yang and Blue Whale came to the Catholic Church in Myeongdong.
It is the oldest local church in Korea and the symbol of the Korean Catholic Church, with a history of 115 years. As the first brick Gothic building in Korea, it has a different atmosphere from other stone Gothic buildings. Usually, Myeongdong Catholic Cathedral is open to the general public, but don't forget that it is a place of faith.
Therefore, don't forget to think about the people who are worshipping when you visit, and don't make loud noises and don't use a DSLR camera to take pictures. All you have to do is sit quietly and meditate silently and feel the quiet atmosphere here. If you want to take pictures, you can take a few photos outside the church. Sit down in the church and go out the sun with no sign of the sun.
The temperature plummeted, and although the blue whale wore five clothes and a variety of fleece bases, it couldn't withstand the cold, and felt like it was about to be blown into a sculpture in the wind. Taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark, An Yang and Blue Whale quickly left the Catholic Church and went straight to the scenic spot in Seoul - Namsan Seoul Tower! 【Seoul Tower】Seoul Tower, located in Namsan, is one of the most iconic buildings in Seoul.
No matter where you are in the city of Seoul, you can see it almost everywhere, and from Seoul Tower, you can overlook the beautiful cityscape, which is more beautiful at night than during the day. Seoul Tower is divided into a free area and a paid area, and the free admission area is located on the 1st to 2nd basement floors, and there are cafes, shops, ticket offices, and elevator entrances.
The paid area is the observation deck at the top of the tower, with a turnaround restaurant, a digital observation deck, and souvenir goods. In addition to enjoying the city view, the concentric lock area on Seoul Tower has also become the main purpose of many couples' choice to come here. Observation deck fee: 9,000 won for adults, 7,000 won for children, lift fee: one way: 6,000 won for adults.
3,500 won for children; Round trip: Adult 8,500 won, Child 5,500 won Concentric lock: 5,000 won; Transportation: Exit 3 of Myeongdong Station on Metro Line 4, go up the road on the right side of the Pacific Hotel, and walk for about 10 minutes until the Namsan Cable Car Ride, and then buy a ticket to take the cable car to the tower.
Opening hours: Monday to Thursday, Sunday: 10:00-23:00, Friday, Saturday: 10:00-24:00TIPS: If you are planning to take the cable car up the tower on the weekend, you need to be prepared to queue up, about 1 hour, it only takes 20-30 minutes to walk up the mountain, and if you want to go to the paid observation deck at the top of the tower, you also have to queue up to buy tickets.
It takes more than half an hour. Although I came to Seoul Tower in the evening, I was unable to catch the sunset due to the cloudy weather. I took a photo along the way of the cable car, and by this time, the lights of the whole of Seoul were already on. In fact, I personally don't think it's necessary to enter the paid area at the top of the tower, and you can also enjoy the city view in the free area. (To be continued.) )
