What should I pay attention to when traveling to Korea at my own expense?

Climate: Except Jeju Island, South Korea has a temperate East Asian monsoon climate. Similar to the weather in North China, the average temperature is 3-5 degrees lower than that in Shanghai, with heavy rainfall in June-September and the average temperature below zero in winter. It is the hottest in summer and August, with the temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. It is vulnerable to typhoons in March, April and early summer. The division of seasons is similar to that of China, but it has a certain maritime climate.

Transportation: As South Korea's economy is still in the forefront in Asia as a whole, there are a large number of cars, and traffic jams are common, so guests should be reminded to watch the traffic lights when crossing the road! In Korea, you can travel by bus or taxi. Taxis are divided into model taxis (usually black) and ordinary taxis (usually silvery white) and large taxis (with 8 passengers except the driver). The charges vary according to different types: the basic cost of large taxis and model cars within 3 kilometers is 4000 won, and magnesite is 205 meters or 50 seconds plus 200 won; Generally, the basic taxi fare within 2 kilometers is 65,438+0,600 won, which is increased by 65,438+0 won every 65,438+0 meters or 465,438+0 seconds.

Diet: The eating habits of Koreans are quite different from those of China, mainly kimchi, barbecue and bibimbap. The food is oily and may not taste good. Please bring your own convenience food. The cost of eating at one's own expense is about five times that of China.

Time: Korea time is earlier than China time 1 hour (8: 00 Beijing time and 9: 00 Korea time).

Currency and exchange rate: South Korea uses Korean won, and the exchange rate with RMB is 1: 120 won, but the actual exchange rate is subject to the bank exchange rate on that day. UnionPay credit cards can be used in some large shopping malls in Korea, but guests should be reminded to exchange some won for backup, or they can be exchanged at Korean tour guides, but the exchange rate is relatively low, and the advantage is that they can be exchanged back after the trip.
