Seoul, Xiangyang, South Korea Travel/Food/Itinerary/Receive Foreign Currency/Parent-Child Attractions/Sharing

This trip is byGangwon Airlinesto KoreaYangyang International Airport, Xiangyang is considered a suburban city, and naturally there are fewer scenic spots, but it is only a few minutes away from Seoul.express busIt only takes about two hours by car, so most of the time for this trip is arranged in Seoul instead (laughs).

Little Rich Man has recently fallen in love with Lego war movies. When playing Lego, there must be a war soundtrack. I just found out that there are some good war-related attractions in Seoul that can be arranged.

In fact, there is a Korean Legoland between Seoul and Yangyang, but after a closer look at the official website introduction, I found that the amusement facilities are the same as those I went to in December last year.Legoland, Nagoya, JapanThere are about 87% images, and the repeatability is quite high, so I reluctantly changed it to other places.

I happened to go to Keelung Port to see the Dunmu Fleet a while ago, so I skipped the Battleship Park in Seoul this time. However, there are so many attractions for children in Seoul, including museums, art galleries, amusement parks, and parks. It took up most of the time, so I didn’t plan to go to historical attractions this time, so I can only wait until next time.

As for the Gangneung part, because the Seoul trip takes up too much time and the traffic is inconvenient, so there is no arrangement this time (laughs).

rich man experience

transportation

This time I took Gangwon Airlines. Since Gangwon Airlines is a low-cost airline, remember to check the official website to see if there is any change in the final flight time before departure. For details, please refer toGangwon Air Flight Change Inquiry SharingThis article.

If you take the subway in Seoul, you still need to buy a T-money card, otherwise it will be very troublesome to refund the card fee every time you buy a one-way ticket. If you need a T-money child ticket, you can show your passport to the supermarket clerk, and they will help you set it up ,No trouble. It is worth mentioning that the rich man took out the T-money card he bought in Seoul for the first time more than 10 years ago, and it can still be used to store value, which is really amazing.

The Seoul subway has a long history and the routes are very complicated. When doing homework, it is recommended to write the station names in both English and Korean. Then it is best to have a color map and mark it clearly on the transfer station so that you can quickly find it during the journey. The full version of the subway station sign includes: numbers, Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese. For details, please refer toKorean public transportation sharing and precautionsthis.

foreign currency exchange

There are not many domestic banks that can directly withdraw Korean won. The hotel I stayed in this time is located near Gangnam in Seoul. It is far away from the Myeongdong money exchange station that netizens often recommend, so I want to try to withdraw foreign currency directly from an overseas ATM. The final withdrawal was successful! The rich man’s experience is that ATM withdrawals are quite convenient and the exchange rate is quite OK. You can refer to it for detailed sharing.Overseas ATM withdrawalThis article. Wait until next time to participateCosta Busan Nagasaki CruiseI'll try again (laughs).

Parent-child attractions

The rich man feels that Seoul is really suitable for bringing children. There are many museums and theme parks that children will like. The rich man feels that the design is very careful, and many of them are free to enter. It is really very Buddhist. Attractions for boys include the Police Museum, Korean War Memorial, etc. Seoul Children's Grand Park is also very rich in content, and children will definitely be very happy.

It is recommended that when planning the itinerary, the English and Korean names of each scenic spot must be available, so that it is convenient to communicate when assistance is needed, and it will be more accurate to read Korean directly when communicating with the taxi brother.

Restaurant

The service staff at the two hotels I stayed at this time were very good in English and would proactively use translation software to confirm. The rich man felt that they were different from last year.Nagoya Family Japan TravelCompared with the hotel service staff I met, they were much more flexible and had no communication problems at all. Highly recommended!

network

Although downtown Seoul and some urban buses claim to have free wireless Internet, the actual test result of the rich man is: most of the time, it is impossible to connect online. I don’t know what’s wrong? Be careful.

gourmet food

Korean food is generally quite heavy in taste, but most restaurants also provide ice water to quench your thirst. When you are in a hurry or rushing to schedule, the common snack bar at the Seoul subway station is also a good choice. Eat Chichiwen's favorite. For details, please refer toSubway station seaweed rice roll sharingThis article.

Experienced this timeLiu's Iron Pan Roast Chickenand Korean Chef Baek Chong Won Jajang Noodle ShopandBai Zhongyuan Udon NoodlesLike other popular restaurants, the restaurant staff can also speak English and provide English menus. There is no problem in communication. It is indeed a tourist city and the staff are well-trained. Rich people give it a thumbs up!

Souvenir

After traveling all the way abroad, I still bought a lot of snacks and biscuits to distribute to colleagues, relatives and friends. For detailed sharing of supermarket souvenirs, please refer toKorean snacks and biscuits are not secretiveThis article.

prices

The one-day tour guide shared the information that South Korea’s living prices are about to increase, and the increase is not small! The Seoul subways and taxis commonly used by tourists will also have amplitude modulation above 20%. It is really scary. It is hard to imagine that such a situation will happen in Taiwan. When electricity and natural gas prices rise, catering and other service industries will also become more expensive, so be careful!

small tools

Due to security considerations in Korea, Google Map may not have accurate calculation results for some functions. So it is recommended to install the Korean software faucet KakaoMap(No registration required) or Naver map software, which is more convenient for planning routes, estimating taxi fares, and reading restaurant reviews.

Because of the epidemic, I prepared a translation software this time to reduce conversations. After some research, I found that the Google Translate app is really easy to use, and it greatly speeds up the communication with Korean locals. You can refer to this experience sharingTravel translation softwareThis article.

health disease

The wealthy wife usually has the habit of donating blood regularly. When she wanted to donate blood after returning from South Korea, she was rejected by the medical staff. It turned out that according to the identification of the CDC, the northern region of Gangwon Province (Yangyang), the northern region of Gyeonggi Province and Incheon The city is a "malaria" hotspot. Friends who have traveled to malaria hotspots cannot donate blood within a year. I have really learned a lesson. Those who are worried should be safer and maybe prepare some medicine. Please pay attention.
