South Korea has a small area. If you want to travel freely, you can make your own strategy. Let me tell you how to do it.

First, South Korea is small.

Which provinces in China have the same area? According to the comparison of land area, South Korea is roughly as big as China and Zhejiang, smaller than Jiangsu and larger than Chongqing, so tourism is not very complicated.

Second, there are not many tourist cities in Korea.

South Korea and the United States have three tourist cities, Seoul, Busan and Jeju Island.

Traveling to South Korea is mainly concentrated in these three cities, especially Seoul and Jeju Island. If it is a self-help tour, it is easy to make a strategy. Seoul is the capital of South Korea with a population of 1/4. South Korea also has major tourist attractions, from Gyeongbokgung Palace to Seoul Tower, from Myeongdong to Dongdaemun Business District, where you can eat, drink and have fun.

3. Suggestions on South Korea's free travel strategy.

1. The focus of the travel destination is Seoul, followed by Jeju Island. You can consider Busan when you have time.

2. Personally, I don't think the tourist feature of Korea lies in the scenery, and seeing the scenery is not very attractive. But for female friends, the attraction of Korea lies in cosmetics and clothing;

3. South Korea and the United States have high consumption, but with some domestic travel apps, you can easily find affordable hotels and travel strategies;

4. domestic round-trip air tickets in Korea are not expensive because they are close;

5. Korean tourist visas need to be handled by designated travel agencies, and they are handled according to dicing, which has a certain threshold. If the applicant's conditions in the United States are average, the visa refusal rate is high, but Jeju Island is visa-free for China tourists.

To sum up, if you want to travel freely in Korea, you can do your own strategy before going. However, if the visa is uncertain and the language is worried about obstacles, you may wish to choose to travel with a group.

3. How much does it cost to travel freely to Korea?

Eating and living outside for five days, the minimum is about 2000 yuan.

4. Travel strategy and cost to South Korea

South Korea's expressway charging standard is very transparent, and there is no arbitrary charging at all. People can easily check the tolls of planned travel routes through government websites or smart phone software. The basic toll of the closed toll method is 900 won (1 RMB 165 won), and the toll calculation formula is the basic toll (the toll amount per unit driving distance). The basic toll of the open toll method is 720 won, and the calculation formula of the toll is the basic toll (the unit toll amount of the shortest toll distance specified by the toll station). The amount of unit expenses is divided into six grades according to different models, of which the lowest grade (cars, buses and trucks with less than 2.5 tons) is 4 1.4 won per kilometer, and the highest grade (trucks with more than 20 tons) is 69.6 won.

5. Free travel expenses for Korean travel guides

At one's own expense, no group tour, and the off-season ticket is conservatively estimated at around 1500 RMB. Accommodation: 300 RMB for one day, 2 100 RMB for 7 days, 200 RMB for one day and 1400 RMB for 7 days. If you use the subway card, you need 900 won (1000 cash) for one entry and exit. It is impossible to estimate how much it will cost, and neither can the taxi fare. The basic cost per week (excluding shopping expenses) is about 5000-6000 RMB.

If you travel to Korea from 0 10 to 10 10, it is best to travel by yourself. You can have fun, have fun. If you join the group, the schedule will be very tight. Besides, the tour guide will take you to buy buy to buy some places. Don't be visited by this group of people. You can go anywhere you want, and you don't have to worry about the language. Many shops in Korea have Chinese-speaking staff who often wear red clothes near Myeongdong and Hongda.

The first place to go is Seoul. Dongdaemun, Myeongdong, Rensi Cave, Sanqing Cave, Beicun, Hongda, Lida, Xincun, Nanshan Tower, Hanjiang River, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Nanyi Island, and Jixia Island, Busan and Tongying, if you have time.

7. Free travel expenses in Korea

Recently, more and more friends have come to South Korea for free travel, especially the girls born in 1980s and 1990s. Hahaha because I have lived in Korea for many years and like to travel, I often contact some friends who come to Korea for free travel. Sometimes, I will help them show the way and translate something. Many girls who come here can't speak Korean at all, and their English is poor ~ Can I come to Korea to travel freely? Haha, this problem must be bothering some eager friends. Today I will introduce this problem to you for your reference. I hope it will help you a little! 1. Chinese characters were used for transportation in ancient Korea, but there were only traditional Chinese characters at that time. Later, King Sejong created Korean, which replaced Chinese characters as soon as it came out. However, Korea still uses traditional Chinese characters, which many Korean elderly people will know. Korean primary schools also have Chinese character tests, so you will see some traditional Chinese characters on the street and on the subway.

For example, Dongdaemun

There is also a simplified version, so you only need a Chinese version of the subway map at this time. The subway in Korea is very convenient, and all the scenic spots are near the entrance of the subway station, so you must have the China version of the subway map when you come.

There are also airport buses, because they are specially prepared for foreigners, so there will be Chinese, English and Korean, so don't worry. Except the airport bus, other buses and buses generally don't want me to have no Chinese. Of course, China tourists generally choose subways and taxis, so buses will not fail to provide Chinese services.

What are the commonly used mobile apps for finding hotels or floor shops? This is also a question asked by many friends. Better ask me to accompany you (help you answer online), Google Maps, where to go, and so on. In fact, the location map of WeChat is already very developed. I often use WeChat, but only friends can share your location. But what if there are a lot of road crazy friends? Haha, many friends will contact the local car rental service in Korea online simply for convenience. Don't worry about this situation ~ all the way is unimpeded ~2. In order to provide convenience for China, many important Korean scenic spots are marked in Chinese. Take Mingdong as an example. 90% of the streets come from China, and the streets in the shops are all in Chinese. Ha ha ha, yes, China people have changed Korea.

There will also be people from China in the street.

There are few shops without China people. The picture below is posted on the door of a convenience store.

There are both Chinese and English, but it is worth noting that some small shops or scenic spots are not very famous. Don't do this if you win. In fact, you need to download an online translator or a Korean-English dictionary on your mobile phone, so you can use it.

3. restaurants. I took photos from the menus of several restaurants in Myeongdong. It's all in Chinese, English and Korean, so don't worry about the language. Most of the waiters in Myeongdong shop can also speak Chinese, and most of them are China compatriots. If you have any questions, you can ask them. If your English is good, you can also use English. To tell the truth, if you speak English, Koreans may not understand. Koreans have poor English and poor pronunciation. Koreans all know that China people (Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province) have good English! They feel inferior, but they can find confidence in the Japanese! hahaha

Don, don't you want to have fun after the trip? Hahaha, random routing and traffic attack rate are very important. What is the most convenient route to save time and money (for poor friends)? It is a question worthy of consideration by friends. If you are a road idiot, different words will dazzle you. What should you do? In order to provide convenience for tourists, Korea Tourism Bureau has set up many tourist information offices. There are many maps, routes, scenic spots and hotels in Chinese for tourists' reference. Of course, if there is no financial problem, you can contact a local tour guide in Korea, and they will tell you all the problems in Korea (routes, car rental, wifi, hotels, tickets) ~ for example, the following sports car tour, a travel consulting service company focusing on free travel in Korea.

There are also many volunteers on Mingdong Street to guide tourists. You can ask questions, even if you don't know the way, you can ask passers-by or police uncles. Koreans attach great importance to etiquette and will help you enthusiastically. Besides, we are foreigners, so don't worry too much ~ ~ Coincidentally, I met Ouba and Ernie in Hanbok in Myeongdong. They are volunteers for passers-by to travel freely in Korea. It is said that passerby travel is a famous company with its own.

Tourists have fun scanning the QR code ~ Uncle S's eyes over there are so obscene, hehe.

What a beautiful girl!

See the police car behind the tourists? The security of scenic spots in Korea is very good. There will be patrolmen. If you have any questions, you can consult the police uncle O~~

Being a volunteer in cold weather is also a helpful devotee, and I must feel warm in my heart.

Not every trip. I'm not talking about leaving. Be sure to get ready before you leave! If you are not ready, you will be very tired. Even if you can, I can't speak Korean, and your English is poor. It doesn't matter. As long as you get up the courage to prepare, you will have a relaxing trip and leave good memories ~ Come on! See you in Korea!
