I spent five days in South Korea, and my concept of spending has been completely shattered.

1. Must-see attractions: • N Seoul Tower🗼: The night view is absolutely stunning. From the top of the tower, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Seoul. It's an ideal spot for couples. • Gyeongbokgung Palace🏛: This traditional Korean palace is a great place to take photos in Hanbok (traditional Korean clothing). It's a super charming experience! • Bukchon Hanok Village🏘: Immerse yourself in authentic Korean tradition. The streets are lined with quaint Hanok houses, perfect for a leisurely stroll. • Myeongdong Shopping Street🛍: From big brands to niche labels, you'll find everything here. There's also a wide variety of food, so you can shop and eat all day long! • Hongdae & Ewha Womans University🎓: These are trendy areas with lots of internet-famous cafes, clothing stores, and street performers. • Apgujeong & Garosu-gil🌳: These upscale areas are home to numerous luxury brand stores, perfect for those who love shopping. • Namsan Hanok Village🏡 (near Seoul): This village preserves the traditional Korean village style and offers a more tranquil and rustic atmosphere than the Hanok villages in the city. • The Garden of Morning Calm🌳 (Gapyeong): A paradise for nature lovers, this garden offers different scenery in each season and features an amazing glass bridge. 2. Food recommendations: • Korean BBQ🥩: Tender and juicy meat, paired with special sauces and wrapped in lettuce leaves, is incredibly satisfying. • Fried Chicken🍗: Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, Korean fried chicken comes in various flavors, including sweet and spicy, garlic, and original. There's bound to be one that suits your taste. • Bibimbap🍚: This mixed rice dish with various vegetables and rich sauces is a burst of flavors in every bite. • Samgyetang🍲: Made with high-quality ginseng and chicken, this soup is clear, flavorful, and nutritious. • Naengmyeon🍜: This cold noodle dish is spicy, sour, and refreshing, perfect for summer. The noodles are chewy, and the broth is delicious. 3. Transportation: • The Seoul subway🚇 is very convenient and covers almost all popular attractions and shopping areas. It's recommended to get a T-money card, which can be used for both buses and subways. • Taxis🚕 are also affordable, with a starting fare of around CNY 20. However, traffic can be heavy during peak hours. 4. Accommodation: • Seoul offers a wide range of accommodation options, from budget-friendly hotels to luxury ones. You can choose based on your budget and needs. • Myeongdong, Hongdae, and Gangnam are popular areas to stay, with convenient transportation, shopping, and dining options. 5. Tips: • Remember to get a tax refund when shopping in South Korea, especially when purchasing from big brands. You can save a lot of money. • South Korea has excellent internet coverage, with free Wi-Fi available in many places. You can also buy a local SIM card for convenient internet access.
