Korea travel guide

I wrote my own free travel guide to Seoul, Korea, hoping to help you.

I. Airports

1. Communication: If you want to contact your family for a long time, you can borrow your mobile phone at the airport counter or your passport. When you return it, you can pay by credit card. Basically, China's mobile phone is not common in Korea, even if it can be used, it is very expensive, so it is cheaper to borrow it at the airport.

2. Map: Be sure to get the map at the airport counter. If you miss it, you can also get it from the pavilion in the "sightseeing case", preferably a map of Japan, because the subway route map on it is bigger and clearer. Remember, the subway is the most important means of transportation in Seoul. I remember the map was placed at the leftmost exit in the direction of the airport, which seems to be Gate 2. I don't remember the details. Find it yourself.

Second, traffic.

1, Airport Bus: The bus stop is outside the entrance hall 1, and tickets are available at entrances 2, 4, 8 and 13. No, please tell me which bus the airport staff and the bus driver should take and at which station they should get off. )

2. Airport high-speed rail: From Incheon Airport to Gimpo Airport, then transfer to Metro Line 5. The airport high-speed rail should be on the basement level. Take the escalator directly down. There is a ticket office at the entrance. )

3. Taxis: Taxis in Korea are divided into three colors: white, silver and black. Black is the best. South Korea is called a model taxi, but I asked my Korean friends what's the difference? My friend said it was the price difference. The starting fee and the price per kilometer of black are much more expensive than white and silver. It is not recommended that you choose black unless you go to the outer suburbs by car or bike in the middle of the night.

Say a rough price, the starting fee of a taxi is 1900 and100 km; The starting price of a model taxi for 3 kilometers is 4.5002 million. This is just a rough idea. There may be changes.

4. Subway: Every subway station in Korea has a number, so don't be afraid of not knowing the name of the station, and don't be afraid of going in the wrong direction or passing the station. (For example, the first stop on the 1 line is 10 1). Tip: South Korea's subway stations are dug deep. If you want to transfer to the subway line, be prepared to climb the mountain. No one eats in the subway, and no one sits in the old, weak and sick seats except the elderly!

T-money: most convenience stores sell it. Remember to buy a transportation card. The card fee is 2500, and then a certain fee is charged. Because South Korea travels by subway, it is inconvenient to have no transportation card. Some subway stations are not equipped with manual ticket sales. I spent about 20,000 won on transportation for four days and three nights. You can recharge it at the convenience store first, and then find a convenience store to recharge it. The card can be returned, but it will take 10 days. I suggest you charge as much as you want.

Third, currency exchange.

I suggest you change two or three hundred dollars at the Bank of China, which is enough for your fare to Korea. The main money is still exchanged in Korea. There are two exchange shops in Korea, and the exchange rate of scenic spots is not too high, and the high exchange rate is not particularly conspicuous. I suggest you compare the two companies, which one has a high exchange rate, and always pay attention to the domestic exchange rate, otherwise you don't know whether it is good or not. There should be a guide on the internet saying which two exchanges have high turnover rate. Check it yourself. I met a two-way communication on my way to Nanshan Tower. The exchange rate is quite high.

If you are really worried, you can change it at home, and the domestic exchange rate is good.

Fourth, accommodation:

I don't think it's necessary to book a hotel or anything. The law and order in Korea is quite good. I don't think there is anything to worry about.

But I suggest you book a hotel in the city. Last time I booked it in the suburbs, I spent a lot of time on the subway every day.

The night light inside is very beautiful at night. I suggest Lotte play all day, but I think it's enough to go at night, unless there are several long queues to play.

6, roadside snacks: more expensive than expected, not very cheap, but fried rice cakes are delicious.

Finally, a few tips:

1, Koreans like nightlife. In the afternoon 12, the streets are brightly lit and crowded. We once went to have a barbecue. It was after eleven o'clock, and it was extremely lively there.

You don't have to get up too early during the day. Many scenic spots and shopping streets open after ten o'clock, and no one goes early.

If you want to do large-scale shopping, please pay attention to whether there is a tax-free sign in the store. It seems that you can get a refund if it exceeds 3W. Ask the clerk to give you a list. When you go back, you can go to the tax refund counter after entering the customs. It takes a little time to handle it, and it will be earlier.
