South Korea's travel strategy in winter 213?

GGMM who are planning to go to South Korea have seen it. I have come back from a trip to South Korea and have many strategies to share with you.

First, the strategy of saving money:

1. Exchange won

Strategy:

According to the relevant regulations of customs entry and exit, each person can take 2, RMB and 5, US dollars of foreign exchange out of the country, and offenders will bear their own responsibilities-consider this for themselves, but South Korea does not have much to buy. If there are not many gift plans, it is recommended to bring 5, yuan in cash.

exchange rate reference: 1 RMB = about 11-12 won. Generally, things in South Korea are calculated in terms of 1, won, that is, 7 RMB.

In Korea, US dollars and Korean won are accepted, and some places will accept RMB, but it is very rare.

Tip:

If you have dollars, it's the best. Anyway, it's falling badly. Go and spend it. If you are traveling to the countryside in South Korea, you need to bring cash, and there is a credit card in the city.

2. Basic price

Raiders:

According to the meter, the taxi fare is 1,9 won for the first kilometer of ordinary taxis, 2 won for every 3 meters, 6, won for advanced taxis, and 4 won for every 3 meters. Make it clear, if the price is twice as bad.

mineral water is 5 won (the cheapest), and drinks are about 1, won.

It's not unusual to eat 2, to 3, yuan per meal.

Barbecue pork is about 5, yuan, beef is about 1, yuan.

A bag of rice is about 35, yuan (4 kg).

Clothes are about 1, yuan (T-shirt).

Head rope is 99.

Tip:

Don't expect to eat too well in Korea. The price in Korea is 5-1 times that in China.

3. Communication

Raiders:

In Korea, only CDMA(133) can be used for international roaming, and no other mobile phones can be used. Congratulations to Unicom's loyal Fans, haha.

Tip:

If you have a companion to travel with you, consider buying a pair of newly-launched MOTO FV28 walkie-talkies. They are small, cute and economical, suitable for couples or friends to use when traveling, and you don't have to worry about mobile phones.

4. Stay in a hotel

Raiders:

Hotels in Korea are very clean, but they are very expensive. Generally, the MOTEL should be in the range of 2,-3,. Here is a very important thing to remind. There are no disposable articles such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, slippers, combs, bottled bath lotions and bottled shampoo in Korean hotels, which seems to be for environmental protection. It's better to bring these things yourself, and it's cleaner to use your own.

Tip:

When you arrive at the hotel, do you think that there are a bunch of cameras, walkie-talkies, Mp3 players and laptops to be recharged? The voltage in South Korea is 22V, and the plug is a 2-eye round plug, which is a little different from that in China. Take the converter well, or the electronic products will go on strike.

5. Shopping

Introduction: Myeongdong is a shopping paradise in Seoul. Myeongdong Street refers to a street about 1 km long from Myeongdong Station of Metro Line 4 to Branch B and Lotte Department Store, where various brand stores, department stores and bonded shops are densely packed together. It is called the center of fashion, where you can buy all kinds of clothes, shoes and hats, ornaments and so on, which lead the fashion trend. It is a feature that many high-quality brand products are concentrated here. First of all, there are Lotte Department Store, New World Department Store, U2Zone Department Store, Milio Department Store and AbaTar Department Store on Myeong-dong Street. In department stores, we mainly buy high-end goods, while in bonded shopping centers such as Milio Commercial Building and AbaTar Commercial Building, we can buy fashionable goods at low prices. There are also various brand stores gathered in the central street and the hutongs on both sides.

Tip: If you go to a big supermarket like LOTTE Mart, don't forget to prepare a shopping bag for yourself, or ask them for a paper box to move back. Koreans have a good spirit of environmental protection.

6. Eating

Raiders:

The eating habits in Korea are quite different from those in China. Korean food is mainly kimchi and barbecue, and the dishes are very oily and may not taste good. It is best to prepare some convenient foods, but remember to check them when crossing the border.

Tip:

Don't expect to eat spicy food in Korea. The Korean food you usually eat in China is already very distinctive and the material is not bad. When you go to Korea, you can buy some snacks, such as laver, bibimbap sauce, and Lotte chocolate, which are good choices for people.

7. Cosmetics

In Korea, you still need to buy some cosmetics, especially the powder cake, makeup and cosmeceuticals, which are not bad. The advanced ones are still free. They are basically middle and low grade, but the quality is still very good.

1 HUE PLACE

Take over the chain stores of middle and low-priced cosmetics of AMORE PACIFIC, a representative cosmetics company in Korea, where you can get in touch with and experience many brands at one time, which is very popular with consumers. 2~3-year-old consumers are suitable for brands such as LANEIGE, Ailietude and MAMONDE in Lan Zhi, while 3~4-year-old consumers are suitable for IOPE and STEM? And other brands, men are suitable for ODYSSEY brand products.

2 BEAUTY CREDIT

A cosmetics chain store where many brands gather to sell, besides cosmetics, it also sells about 7 kinds of products such as health food, diet food and tea. Cosmetics are also popular with low-and medium-priced brands' Flower Man' and Korean cosmetics' Donaxian'.

INNISFREE

cosmetics made from various herbs, each product will make you feel the fragrance of grass. In addition, European-designed containers and low prices are a major feature of winning popularity, and they are good shopping objects for female consumers who like plants and herbs.

Lan Zhi LANEIGE

AMORE PACIFIC Company's cosmetics brand, especially the cosmetics series, aimed at young women aged 2-3, is favored by consumers. The price ranges from 15, won to 3, won, which is slightly more expensive than ordinary small brands such as MISSHA. When visiting Lan Zhi Mingdong Store, you can try out and buy

THE FACE SHOP

, a competitive brand born in response to MISSHA's upsurge of low-priced brands. Kwone Sang Woo, hallyu star, as its spokesperson, has increased the popularity of the brand, and its natural and fresh packaging and quality have also been recognized by the public, surpassing MISSHA in the future.

Second, six practical strategies:

One of the strategies:

Choose a reputable travel agency. Faced with a variety of travel advertisements, I must choose a well-known travel agency. I will search seven or eight online in advance, and then make a simple list. This is also a professional habit. Before I retired, I did statistical work. Making tables and analyzing are my strengths. The listed items include the name of the travel agency, contact number, travel price, expenses included in the quotation (such as transportation/accommodation/meals/attractions), expenses not included in the quotation (such as domestic transportation/port charges/tips/self-funded attractions), the setting of tourist attractions, the place of departure (including Tanggu, Tianjin and Qinhuangdao, Hebei), etc. After comparison, the best travel agency is selected to join the tour.

Raiders II:

Choose a time with suitable climate. I feel that the climate in Korea is similar to that in Beijing. April and May and August and September are good seasons for tourism every year. Under normal circumstances, the cold winter festival and the hot summer will affect people's going out. We traveled to Korea in the middle and late August, and it was cool every day. It's a little cool to wear a group in the morning, and it's not hot to wear trousers at noon, so short groups of trousers are suitable. It was cloudy on the day of visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace, and there was no sun at all. The tour guide said: You are really lucky today. The group you took a few days ago caught up with the sunny day, and everyone was not in the mood to visit. Because there aren't many trees in Gyeongbokgung Palace, just like the Forbidden City in Beijing doesn't plant trees to guard against theft. In the evening of this day, we caught sporadic light rain, and we were sitting on the bus to eat. By the time we finished eating, the rain had stopped, so the umbrella was basically useless.

Raiders III:

Try to remember the guide's introduction. Everyone wants to see more scenic spots and gain more knowledge when traveling abroad. The introduction of the tour guide is very important. The lady who is our tour guide this time is a Korean Chinese. She married in Korea more than ten years ago. In the words of our tour leader, she is a senior tour guide. She speaks strategically, always talking about "they are Korean", which makes you feel that she is from China, and her position is on your side, which makes you feel very close. On the way to travel, she will introduce the architecture, scenery, scenic spots, customs and so on along the way in the car, so that you won't feel the journey boring. Most of the interesting stories and allusions I wrote in my travel notes came from the introduction of tour guides.

Raiders 4:

Try to avoid shopping in designated tourist shops. Only things that can't be bought in small vendors, such as Korean ginseng, alcohol and cosmetics, can be bought in designated tourist shops to avoid counterfeiting. Other ordinary small gifts can be bought at stalls. The quality of the same gift is similar, but the price is quite different. You can bargain at small vendors in Korea, but there is not much room, and you are not allowed to make a counter-offer. There is an ice cream shop in Myeongdong Street, Seoul, which is nearly a foot long. 1 yuan won is cheaper, so you can try it.

Raiders Five:

It is the advantage of choosing a boat when traveling to South Korea. First of all, the price is cheap. The price of less than 3, yuan is still calculated as a trip to China, which is cheaper than domestic tourism. Secondly, we can get in close contact with the sea by boat and enjoy the happiness brought by the sea. Seagulls are accompanied when entering and leaving Incheon Wharf, so you can prepare snacks in advance, such as bread, biscuits, shrimps and other puffed foods to feed the seagulls at close range. The ship goes back and forth twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays, and on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It is better to choose a larger tonnage ship to avoid seasickness.

Raiders 6:

It's about changing Korean currency. Shopping in Korean won on the boat. I changed my Korean won in advance at a domestic bank. At that time, the exchange rate was 1: 118.5, that is, RMB in 1 yuan was changed to 118.5 won. There was a special room on the ship for private exchange, and the exchange rate was 1: 116, so I lost some money. The face value of Korean currency is generally 1 yuan, and there are four kinds of coins: 5 yuan, 1 yuan, 5 yuan and 1 yuan, but coins, like Chinese cents, are rarely circulated in the market. There is also a current exchange rate for foreign currency exchange. I exchanged 194.74 RMB for 23, Korean won, the conversion ratio is 1: 118.51, that is, 1, Korean won is equivalent to 84.38 RMB. If you don't buy big items, you can spend two or three thousand yuan in RMB. If you can't spend all the Korean won you can exchange it for RMB. The premise is that it must be changed at his place.

Third, South Korea's travel shopping strategy:

There are really many places worth shopping in South Korea. Although many people say that Myeongdong is expensive, tourists who go to South Korea for the first time still choose to shop here, which can let you see the forefront of fashion and feel that Seoul is indeed an international metropolis. Let's talk about the specific situation for everyone.

1. Myeongdong

If you go by subway, take Line 4 to Exit 6 of 424 Myeongdong Station, which is the main street of Myeongdong. As we went to the N Seoul Tower in the morning, we took the bus directly from Nanshan to Mingdong. Bus 8 won/person. Get off at the place with this sign (Myeongdong Station)

Myeongdong Station

Go ahead for about 2 kilometers, see a big intersection, turn left, walk for a while and you will see the subway station. Go to Exit 6 and you will see Myeongdong Main Street. Standing at the street corner and looking at the bustling inside, you have an impulse to rush in. Don't worry, look at the street stall, where my husband bought a hat, hehe, 5, won, not bad. Behind it is the main street of myeongdong.

Shopping, haha, is really dazzling. Every alley that meets the main street is full of shops, world brands and Korean local brands, and everything. Finally, I feel what is called "eye-catching". Don't go shopping in a hurry, but it's important to have a full stomach. When you come to Mingdong, you must eat Quanzhou stone pot bibimbap. Go along the main street and turn left at the first crossing. After a while, you can see the old man standing at the street corner I mentioned in the last article. Follow the alley he pointed to and see the famous Quanzhou Central Hall. There are many people, and there is basically a queue.

Eat and drink enough and start shopping. When you come here, you can enjoy yourself. No matter which alley you go to, it's just as prosperous. We walked along the main street. Girls, of course, are most concerned about cosmetics. I like Korean cosmetics very much. I think European and American brands are more suitable for people of a little age, and Korean cosmetics are more suitable for Asian skin, and most of them are plants, which are closer to nature and will not cause harm to the skin. My favorite is SKINFOOD. Their advertisements are edible cosmetics, which are all extracted from pure plants and will not bring negative effects to the skin. Show me what I lost. A little messy, hehe. Highly recommended gold caviar series. When you enter a cosmetics store, you will give some gifts. Although you just write cotton pads and the like, it is still useful. This trip brought back a lot of cotton pads, hehe.

There's another place you must visit when you come to Myeongdong, namely Lotte Department Store and Lotte Duty Free Shop, which are at the entrance station of Metro Branch B.. Walk along the main street for about one kilometer and you will see a big intersection. There is an information Pavilion, where English service is provided. You can ask for directions. When you get there, turn left and go straight, and you will see a building across the road. At that time, LotteYoungPlaza will continue to turn right, and you will see Lotte Department Store not far away. Lotte Duty Free Shop is on the 9th and 1th floors of Lotte Department Store. Where you can buy cosmetics of other countries brands you want, of course, it is absolutely cheap. If you buy it at the duty-free shop, you have to collect it after the airport CHECKIN. If you buy it at Lotte Department Store, you can go through the tax refund formalities in the lobby outside the first floor, and then go through the tax refund formalities after the airport CHECK IN. We bought an IPODTOUCH 2nd generation in APPLESHOP, with 16G of 37, won, and we can get a 6% tax refund, which is less than 1,8 yuan, which is super value. Now it costs 2,4 Hong Kong dollars to sell in Hong Kong. The IPODNANO is only 18, won, and the Bainaohui in Tianjin costs more than 1,1 RMB. So take advantage of the low exchange rate and go to South Korea to sweep the goods! I also saw PSP3, which is only 75 yuan when converted into people's money. It's meaningless to buy another PSP2 when you already have it, but it's very embarrassing to buy one and give it away, hehe.

2. Dongdaemun

When it comes to buying clothes, it's better to go to Dongdaemun, which is the most popular department store in Korea. I remember that in MyGirl, Zhu Yulin once said that she would take the clothes that Xue Gongcan bought for her to the East Gate for sale, which shows the popularity of the East Gate. Dongdaemun is suitable for night shopping, and it is open until 5 am the next day.
