I will travel to Korea recently. Want to know whether to bring cash (RMB, won, USD) or bank card (RMB, won, USD)?

First of all, I just went to Korea on June 7th and just returned from Korea on June 3rd. I don't know whether you will go to Korea by boat or by plane. As I'm going to Korea by boat, my advice to you is to change a small amount of won and bring UnionPay cards to Korea!

I exchanged Korean won at the Bank of China on June 5th. At that time, the exchange rate was 1 won =0.00568 RMB, or about 1 RMB = 176 won! On June 7th, I boarded the cruise ship Rentian in Tianjin, and the exchange rate on board was 1 RMB = 178 won. . . 13 When I came back in June, I asked the Korean Immigration Bureau. The exchange rate of Korean won there was 1: 193, and the exchange rate of Korean won against RMB was 173: 1. But I will come back then, hehe! So if you go to Korea by boat, I suggest that you just change Korean won on the boat (you can also change it at the Korean entry-exit department if you have time). You don't need to change it at China Bank!

For example, when I go to Seoul where I live in South Korea, I usually pay won to buy some small things around the hotel. If I go shopping with a group in duty-free shops such as Lotte and Myeongdong, I'd better settle the account with UnionPay cards. If those places are settled by UnionPay card, I can get a 15% discount, and there will be no discount for won! (Some big shopping places can pay with UnionPay cards) So only a small amount of cash won is brought! The specific number depends on personal circumstances!

I hope these are helpful to you. By the way, in Korea, only CDMA mobile phones have a signal, and other mobile phones and China Unicom have no signal, whether it is 3G or not.
