My friend took me on a trip to Korea on my birthday.

China tourists are most concerned about the Korean cultural experience.

South Korea has a small area and its natural landscape is far less than that of China. There are no outstanding natural scenery, including palaces, temples, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and even kimchi, which are almost the same as those in China, but the level and scale are far from each other. At this point, all visitors to South Korea should be psychologically prepared, otherwise they will be disappointed.

For example, Gyeongbokgung Palace, the imperial palace in South Korea (equivalent to the Forbidden City in Beijing), has long been burned down. What we see now are all newly built, and the scale is much smaller, which can't be compared with the Forbidden City at all.

However, Korean culture also has certain tourism value, especially for Chengdu people living in the mainland. You can experience some Korean culture different from China, such as delicious food (including kimchi, barbecue, etc. ), costumes, language, folk customs, fields, old streets and other exotic customs. Second, the tourist route:

Travel to Korea, just go to Seoul, Jeju and Busan.

1, Seoul is the capital of South Korea and is worth visiting.

In Seoul, when time is abundant, self-help tour is the most suitable way, you can choose the scenic spots according to your own wishes, and you can fully enjoy shopping. There is another way, that is, the self-help tour takes half the time, and the one-day tour or two-day tour organized by the local travel agency in South Korea takes half the time.

Recommended routes for one-day tour in Seoul: (morning) Cheongwadae-Gyeongbokgung Palace, Folk Museum-Caoxi Temple-Korean Ginseng Store-(afternoon) Korean Folk Village. The cost is 760 million won (about RMB 600 yuan).

Then, you can spend a day wandering around downtown Seoul. You can walk through the streets, or you can stroll all the way to Rensi Cave, Mingdong and Nandamen. In fact, they are almost the same, just looking around (all in the old city, and not far apart. If you can't walk, you can take the subway or the bus-taxis are expensive).

Jeju is the most beautiful place in Korea, and it is called "honeymoon island". Most locations of Korean dramas (including Dae Jang Geum) were shot on this island.

Places to see in Jeju include: Longtou Cliff, such as Di Mei Botanical Garden, Folk Village Museum, Mysterious Road, Zheng Fang Waterfall, Sunrise Peak and Manjianggeer Cave.

When traveling in Jeju, it is best to take a two-night three-day tour or a three-night two-day tour organized by a local travel agency. In this way, you can usually visit Jeju Island in two or three days.

Busan is the second largest city in Korea and one of the tourist destinations in Korea. With a population of about 4 million, it has a mild climate and faces the Japanese archipelago across the sea. There are many ancient temples, famous temples, bathing beaches and hot springs. Main attractions: Xueyueshan National Park, Longtoushan Park, Yuntai, Guang 'anli, Taizongtai, Nanpu Dining Hutong, University Street, etc.

Busan is known as a shopping paradise, in which Zagaqi market is the largest fish market in Southeast Asia and a symbol of Busan. Cuisine includes sashimi, Zhongwu laver rice, seafood onion pancakes and grilled steak.

Third, exchange:

The ratio of RMB to Korean won is about 1: 120, and 85 yuan RMB is usually 10000 won. Major shopping streets and tourist shopping spots in Korea, including ubiquitous families.

Markets (supermarkets) are easy to change, but the ratio is different.

In Korea, goods and services are denominated in won, which makes people dizzy. The simple conversion method is the amount of won ×8. For example, 10000 won over 8 yuan, 10000 won over 80 yuan and 100000 won over 800 yuan.

Korean currency variety: three kinds of banknotes: 1 10,000 won, 5,000 won, 1 10,000 won * *; coin

500 won, 100 won, 50 won and 10 won * *. Fourth, shopping:

The income of Koreans is higher than that of China, and the monthly income of ordinary people can reach 20,000 RMB, so the consumption level in Korea is high, and all goods are at least 5- 10 times that of Chengdu. So things in shopping malls are expensive, so it's better to go shopping in Hong Kong.

1, Korean women's clothes and cosmetics are more attractive to girls, but they are very expensive. 1000 yuan can only buy very ordinary clothes. Others include Korean specialties such as Korean ginseng and amethyst, as well as key chains, mobile phone chains, bookmarks, pickles and seaweed souvenirs.

The same thing is more expensive in Seoul, so it is best to choose Busan and Jeju for shopping.

3. Shopping spots in Seoul are mainly concentrated in Myeongdong (similar to Kowloon Square, where you can buy high-grade goods at Lotte Department Store), Rensidong (similar to Xianqiao Antique Market), itaewon (Y Goods Street, similar to Beijing Xiushui Street), Longshan Electronic Market and Nandamen Market (similar to Lotus Pond Wholesale and Retail Market).

4. Shopping in Korea, except for big shopping malls, but the scope is not large, you can bargain at the south gate. Five, diet:

Korean food is more expensive, and a cold noodle costs more than 60 yuan.

South Korea's diet is light and simple, mainly with side dishes, with a spicy taste, which Chengdu people can adapt to, but the quantity is small. Compared with Sichuan cuisine, Korean cuisine is really a "piece of cake", and it is often difficult for Sichuanese to have enough to eat.

The main varieties are barbecue, cold noodles, bibimbap and ginseng chicken soup. You can eat seafood in Busan and Jeju. The intransitive verb climate:

The climate in Korea is not much different from that in Chengdu, belonging to maritime climate, with mild weather changes. In terms of clothing carrying, Chengdu brings whatever it wears. Seven, communication:

South Korea and China have different communication systems, so they can't communicate with each other. It is recommended to buy a mobile phone card (or borrow a mobile phone temporarily) in Korea to facilitate communication in Korea. In addition, you can buy a phone card and contact your relatives and friends in public. Eight, language:

Through Korean.

In addition, in tourist service places, you can generally communicate in English or in simple Mandarin.

Recommend a mobile phone communication method: explain your meaning to a friend who knows Korean, and let him communicate with the other party before telling you. Nine, transportation:

1, Chengdu to South Korea: There are direct flights from Chengdu to Seoul, and the round-trip ticket price is about 4,700 yuan. Chengdu flies to Seoul, taking off at 23: 40, flying for three and a half hours, and arriving in Seoul around 22: 20; Return departure time 19: 40, and arrival time in Chengdu is about 22: 20.
