Seoul, South Korea | 3 days of shopping and eating are enough!

💕 If you don't want to run around sightseeing in Seoul, just shop and eat, 3 days including Friday and the weekend are definitely enough. ✈️ In terms of transportation, the most convenient way is from Shanghai Hongqiao to Gimpo. Once you arrive at Gimpo, there is a direct subway to Hongdae, which only takes 30 minutes and you can use the Tmoney transportation card. When taking the plane, it is recommended to choose a seat near the front row, and walk quickly to the customs after getting off the plane, so that there are fewer people in line, and you can get through customs in about 15 minutes. However, there is no GM when returning to Gimpo Airport, and there are not many shops to visit. 🏠 For accommodation, it is highly recommended to stay in Hongdae. I personally think it is better to choose a hotel or a homestay with an elevator. I didn't pay much attention this time, and I found a homestay without an elevator. When I moved the boxes, I really had a little breakdown. ☕️ One of the characteristics of South Korea is coffee. I was in the rhythm of two cups a day there. Let me share with you a few coffee shops I have visited (ranked by personal preference): 1⃣️ Susanghan Bagel The main thing here is that the bagels are super delicious! Especially the Qingyang Chili Scallion Bagel, which looks like a dark dish, but as long as you take a bite, you will definitely fall in love with it. Their coffee is also very good. It is very close to Hongdae, and it is very suitable as a breakfast check-in place. 2⃣️ Fritz Their logo is a cute little seal. I had breakfast here for two days in a row. The coffee in Seoul is generally light, the kind of light roast, with a strong aroma but not a particularly strong coffee flavor. It is located near Hongdae. 3⃣️ Anthracite It is said that this shop is in the top ten in the world, but I don't think it is much different from Fritz. It may be because I personally prefer coffee with a strong coffee flavor. I recommend everyone to go to the Hannam-dong store. You can have a cup after shopping. 4⃣️ OATS I personally feel that their Viennese coffee is a bit too sweet, but the appearance is still very good, and the street in front of the store is super suitable for taking photos. Oh, by the way, the atmosphere of coffee shops in South Korea is super good, and it is very suitable for taking photos with a Polaroid camera. 🥢 Food: Soy crab must be the first! I recommend Pyeonghae's. There is also 24h potato pork bone soup, which is super popular, but there are too many people, and you have to queue for 3 hours. You can only wait on the spot, and there is no air conditioning. There are also relatively few seats. I can only give up in the end. I feel that the barbecue here is not much different from the Korean Street in Shanghai. 🎬 Shopping: I highly recommend Hannam-dong, where shops are more concentrated. At the end of July, it is the discount season, and the discounts are quite attractive. However, it is also the rainy season, and the weather is hot and humid, even hotter than the plum rain season in Shanghai. Everyone should be mentally prepared.
