You can't go to Korea with your passport. You also need a visa from the Korean Embassy. This can be handled through a travel agency. In your present situation, the success rate of applying for a tourist visa is not great. To apply for a Korean visa through a travel agency, you need to submit a copy of your passport, ID card and household registration book, three 2-inch photos with a white background, the employment certificate provided by your work unit, or the residence certificate issued by the police station. It's simpler. However, it is generally necessary to refund the deposit when traveling to South Korea now. The travel society determines the amount according to your materials, generally ranging from 50,000 to 80,000. You can consult a large local international travel agency for details.

Many airlines have opened flights between Seoul and major cities in the world. South Korea has three international airports and numerous ports, such as Gimpo, Jinhai and Jeju, and two major airlines, South Korea and Asiana, which regularly fly to China 14 city. There are direct flights to Seoul from Beijing and Hong Kong, and liner flights to Incheon from Weihai, Qingdao and Tianjin. The sailing time takes 20 to 24 hours.

At present, Seoul and Busan have subways; The city bus fare is cheap, but because the route is only marked in Korean, it is a little inconvenient for foreign tourists to take it.

Taxi fares are slightly cheaper than in other countries, and taxis are always available. Railway branches and trunk lines connect almost all parts of the country, and expressway can also lead to major cities and tourist attractions in the country. There are sightseeing boats along the coast. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery by boat and enjoy the best service.

stay

Super or first-class hotels (equivalent to four or five-star hotels in China) are equipped with various restaurants and facilities. In recent years, general hotels have provided western-style beds and sanitary facilities for budget-saving passengers. Since I'm in Korea, I might as well stay in a traditional Korean room called "On Dol". The heating comes from the copper tube installed at the bottom, and then the bedding is spread on the flat and smooth pit surface, so that the guests can fall asleep slowly and enjoy the fun of warming the pit.

The unit of Korean won is Korean won, which is represented by "W". There are 1000, 5000 and 10000 yuan in banknotes, and 1 5, 10, 50, 100 and 500 yuan in coins.

first aid

Police theft station 1 12, fire alarm station and ambulance 1 19. If you need medical treatment or call an ambulance in a hotel, you can directly ask the service desk or the manager for help. When you encounter difficulties or injuries on the road, you can directly ask the police or pedestrians in the local police station for help. All major cities have police stations.

First of all, let me tell you that the natural scenery in South Korea is definitely not as good as that in China. If we talk about modern facilities, I think there are many developed cities in China, which are basically the same. The ratio of RMB to Korean won can be roughly understood as 1: 100. I might tell you the price there. For example, a bibimbap is about 100 RMB, and it is even more expensive if you order fish in a restaurant. An ordinary fish is about 1000 RMB, a 500ml ordinary drink is about 30 yuan RMB, a green bottle really shows 30 yuan RMB, an ice cream is about 30 yuan RMB, and a cola is the cheapest 500ml, which is about 20 RMB. Casinos only accept foreign tourists, and it is illegal for Koreans to enter. If you set up a Taiwan station there, the minimum Taiwan fee is 500 yuan RMB chips, but if you are unlucky, it is estimated to be 30 minutes. Slot machines are ok. 200 yuan RMB can play around 1 hour. It is best not to take a pure black taxi, which is more expensive than others. You can use UnionPay cards to buy things in duty-free shops, but it is recommended to settle in US dollars or won. It is cheaper to buy Korean cosmetics locally than in China, and other products are similar.

South Korea's consumption level is well-known in Asia. Only Japanese people will buy a lot of things when they come to Korea, because Japanese things are more expensive. Although the consumption is relatively high, it is recommended to try abalone porridge. Buying rubies and amethysts in Korea is not supported, because the hardness difference is not as good as that in our country. Don't buy clothes there, especially cotton goods. Most of them are our products, which can be bought everywhere in China and are much cheaper than those in Korea. If you want to take candy home to send friends, you can buy chocolate and candy from Europe and America locally, and the price is much cheaper than that made in Korea. There are also authentic Korean ginseng shops that are expensive, but authentic Taiji ginseng can be considered for moderate purchase.
