When I go to Seoul and have one day of free travel, how should I arrange it?

In the previous article, we were ready to go to Seoul, and now we are about to start our official tour!

1 Attractions

Seoul is just a small place after all, and its attractions cannot be compared with China. But since you are here, it is still necessary to experience the famous local attractions O(∩_∩)O~1. Gyeongbokgung Palace

A royal palace in the Joseon Dynasty, similar to a smaller version of the Forbidden City, with many palace names Same thing. However, the roof is green and the floor is paved inside. The entire outdoor floor of the palace is almost paved with sand and gravel. It is said that it is to prevent assassins. As a dependent state of China, North Korea had the same cultural, political and even literary heritage as our country, so we will feel a little familiar in Gyeongbokgung Palace ~ 2. Blue House

The office of the President of South Korea , but at that time it was said that President Park was not feeling well and could not go in to see it, so he could only watch from a distance. As the name suggests, it also has a green roof, which is very unique.

3. Nanshan Tower

In the place where Qian Songyi and Professor Do dated in the stars, there is also a place full of various locks. People who want to lock their love Qian Songyi Don’t miss it~

The cherry blossom season has just passed, so it’s a pity that we can’t see the cherry blossoms, but the entire boulevard and the various small flowers on the roadside are still beautiful~ If you are interested, you can take a seat Take the Nanshan Cable Car. You can also see the night view of Seoul at night, which is also very romantic~ 4. Ewha Womans University

Well, it was the place where a certain incident that caused a lot of uproar in South Korea took place not long ago. In the European-style campus, even a small door is full of literary and artistic atmosphere. It would be great to study here! But the entire campus seems to be built on a mountain, with constant uphill and downhill slopes. The slope is quite steep. I really admire the drivers in Seoul. 5. Bukchon Hanok Village

Note that this is not a village, but an area where dignitaries lived. There are still some traditional Korean houses from that time, and many people still live here, so don’t disturb them when you are playing~

At the same time, this is also a small and fresh area for literature and art, where you can walk freely Wandering on the road, you might think you have traveled to ancient Korea. When you are tired from walking, you can sit in some open Korean houses and experience Korean life. Some Korean houses also regularly organize handicraft activities, where you can experience Korean traditional culture. 6. Cheonggyecheon

When we finished visiting Gwangjang Market, we accidentally saw the famous Cheonggyecheon. Well, it's just a little stream. . . . But it was originally a smelly ditch. Under the management of the Korean people, it can now be said to be crystal clear. It can also be regarded as a benchmark in the environmental protection industry and is worth learning. Many couples will stroll along Cheonggyecheon in the evening in the afterglow of the setting sun. Well, it’s quite romantic when I think about it~ (But what makes me resentful is that my sunglasses accidentally fell into the stream. Just think of it as a souvenir for Seoul, woohoo~) 7. Insadong

< p>Insadong is a very artistic place, selling all kinds of cultural and creative products, but they are a bit expensive. . SS Amziegil said it is the Insa-dong among the Insadongs. The winding passage is worth seeing and everything is very unique. . .

Shopping

The most important thing when coming to Korea is to buy, buy, buy~ But in summary, except for cosmetics, which are relatively cheap in Korea, everything else is expensive. Pay attention to your wallet, and there are many places. You can use UnionPay cards, and you won’t lose any money~Using UnionPay cards is actually the most cost-effective, and it’s calculated based on the timely exchange rate, but it usually costs more than what the salesperson tells you~

We are semi-self-service In my itinerary, I arranged a Korean cosmetics store, which was said to be used by Koreans; a liver-protecting store, which was said to be good for the liver, and refunds would be given if it was ineffective; and a ginseng store in Zhengguanzhuang. Everything looks good, but it's expensive. . . At first glance, our group had little purchasing power. After listening to the explanation, everyone looked at each other. . . However, the attitude of the Korean tour guide was still good. We didn’t buy anything and didn’t say anything.

At Lotte and Shilla Duty Free stores, everyone was grabbing all kinds of goods like crazy. . . . Many are cheaper than in China, but some cosmetics for ordinary people sold in stores outside are cheaper than duty-free shops. It depends on your luck~ It is said that it is cheaper near Ewha Womans University. Innisfree’s facial mask is bought for 30 and gets 10 free. Nature Republic’s facial masks are also buy one and get one free. . . Which resulted in me buying a bunch of facial masks. . . . Death again, it was raining that day, and I got lost. . . .

The most familiar shopping destination is probably Myeongdong. In fact, it is similar to Hubin in Hangzhou and Xinjiekou in Nanjing. It is lined with stores of the most familiar Korean brands. There are various people in front of each store holding samples asking you to come in, which is a bit scary. By the way, the entrance to Myeongdong is a large Uniqlo, as well as a large well-known clothing store such as Little Bear and Forever 21. You can buy all kinds of products. Buy, buy~

Dongdaemun mainly sells clothes, but I looked around in Doota and didn’t see anything interesting, so I’ll leave it at that. It is said that those aunts are particularly good at cheating foreigners who cannot speak Korean.

My Trophies

Tips: Please search the Lotte Online Duty Free Shop online before departure. There are often activities to give out points, which can be directly used to deduct cash! I don’t know how much cheaper it is than in a physical store. Then you just need to go to the airport to pick up the goods!

3 Food Chapter

The food in Seoul gives people a feeling of "ice and fire". On the one hand, they are light as hell, such as ginseng chicken soup; on the other hand, they are very heavy, such as fried chicken, spicy stir-fried rice cakes, etc.

Of course, there is kimchi that is indispensable for every meal~ But if you want to have a good meal in Seoul, a place where land is so precious, it is impossible without fifty or sixty RMB~~(>_<)~~ Poor students like us sometimes have to live a life of one meal and one meal!

Recommended food: Chunchuan spicy stir-fried chicken steak (the only big meal I had, it was really delicious!!!), twotwo fried chicken, eight-color barbecue, princess barbecue, banana milk (similar to domestic The taste is almost the same, about 7 yuan a bottle, the taste is still good~)

Ginseng Chicken and Banana Milk

Chuncheon Spicy Stir-fried Chicken Steak

Insa If you like to watch Running Man, don’t miss Gwangjang Market. You can eat a lot of food at one stall, and the price is not very cheap~

Mung Bean Pancake

You can take care of the rest of the fish cakes, Korean rice cakes and kimbap by yourself. If you have money, you can eat Korean beef. It is said that it is sold by the gram, 150g looks like 400rmb~ Of course, if you want to get more into the life of Koreans , you can also wear hanbok, go steaming with the locals, go to the Han River to see if there are any "monsters", go shopping in the famous wealthy area Gangnam... experience the most authentic Korea, maybe you will be around the corner You can encounter unexpected surprises, just like the flourishing and beautiful clusters of forget-me-nots I saw in the Hanok Village~ Isn’t this the meaning of travel?
