What should I do if I don't know Korean when I travel to Korea?

Hello!

In your case, the visa period is generally 15 days, but I think it is more appropriate to control the time for the first visit in 7-8 days, and the fee is not regulated according to your consumption. If you use motels and public transportation a lot and don't buy many gifts, 10000 yuan should be enough to include round-trip air tickets.

It doesn't matter much if you don't know Korean. There are English and Chinese characters on the lines and stop signs of Korean subway stations and carriages, and there are also English station announcements. Moreover, the pronunciation of Korean place names is similar to that of Chinese, which can generally be understood after a long time, and so can the stations on the railway. Many restaurants in South Korea have photos on their menus, and the prices are indicated. You can order according to the photos, and it is best to go to a restaurant with a large number of Koreans. Motels, there are many foreigners, and the front desk generally knows some English, so simple communication is no problem; There are Chinese specialists in Korean shopping malls who can serve you, and many vendors in the south gate and east gate can also speak some English, Japanese or Chinese, so simple business communication is no problem. Billboards introducing tourist attractions are generally in Chinese, such as Changdeok Palace, and free Chinese tour guides.

South Korea can go to Myeongdong to buy cosmetics, or go to major department stores. The former is more monopolistic, while the latter has more varieties and brands, but the price is more expensive. If you buy fashion, you can go to Mingdong, if you buy affordable ones, you can go to Middle Road and East Gate, and if you buy cheap ones, you can go to South Gate.

South Korea's scenic spots include: Haeundae Beach in Busan, viewing the sea in Taizong Terrace, taking a boat trip to Daliu Island in Busan, seeing Silla Monument in Gyeongju, the ancient capital, Seoul's Five Palaces, Changgyeonggung Palace, Changdeok Palace, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Qingxu Palace, Deshou Palace, Zongmiao Palace, Yunnian Palace and Huacheng near Seoul. Skiing in gangwon is also good, but it's out of season now.

To experience fashion, you can go to Seoul University Road, itaewon, and the western part of Busan.

The tourist route can be Busan-Gyeongju-Seoul-Huacheng-Incheon-Returning to China.

Explain that it is illegal for you to work in Korea on a personal tourist visa. If more people do this, it will affect other compatriots to apply for individual tourist visas in the future, and once they are found, they will be sent to detention centers and eventually deported, and it will be difficult to go to South Korea in the next few years.

Also, I sincerely suggest that you don't overestimate the friendliness, prosperity and beauty of Korean scenery, and of course don't listen to the lies of black Korean websites such as Tianya.

Like other foreign countries, South Korea has some friendly people and some unfriendly people, but most of them are just so-so, because they don't know much about China, and they don't have much interest and energy to understand it. As long as you behave well, most Koreans will respect you, which has nothing to do with your nationality and the strength of China.

The way of thinking of the Korean people is still very different from that of the Han people, especially the northern compatriots. Please pay attention to your experience. Be careful not to be preconceived, not to be self-centered, not to take the initiative to talk about sensitive topics involving two ethnic groups such as historical issues, and not to take the initiative to comment on South Korea's internal affairs and inter-Korean relations.

Also, there are many missionaries on the roads in South Korea, many of whom are members of cult organizations that look like Christianity. They will take the initiative to strike up a conversation. You should never pay attention to them. Just tell them that you are a Buddhist, and generally they won't pester you.

Finally, I wish you a pleasant journey!
