I spent five days in South Korea, and my concept of spending has been completely shattered.

South Korea, a country that blends tradition and modernity, is definitely worth a spontaneous trip. From the bustling Seoul to the tranquil countryside, every corner exudes a unique charm. Must-see attractions: 1.📍 N Seoul Tower - Located on the peak of Namsan Mountain, it's one of Seoul's most iconic landmarks. Ascend to the top for a panoramic view of Seoul. The night view is especially captivating. 2.📍 Gyeongbokgung Palace - As one of Korea's most representative palaces, Gyeongbokgung Palace boasts elegant and magnificent architecture, making it an excellent place to learn about Korean history and culture. 3.📍 Bukchon Hanok Village - This village preserves a large number of traditional Korean houses. Strolling along the stone-paved roads feels like traveling back in time to ancient Korea. 4.📍 Myeongdong Shopping Street - As one of Seoul's most famous shopping streets, Myeongdong is home to a variety of brand stores, restaurants, and cafes, making it a great place for shopping and enjoying delicious food. 5.📍 Hongdae & Itaewon - These two areas are gathering places for young people, full of fashion and vitality. Whether you're strolling, shopping, or enjoying food, you can experience South Korea's youthful culture. 6.📍 Haeundae Beach, Busan - As one of South Korea's most famous beaches, Haeundae is known for its clear waters and fine sand. Here, you can fully enjoy the sun, sand, and waves. 7.📍 Hallasan Mountain, Jeju Island - One of Jeju Island's iconic attractions. Climbing Hallasan Mountain offers a panoramic view of the entire island. The natural scenery along the way is also a major highlight. 😍Food Recommendations: ·Korean BBQ - Famous for its unique seasoning and cooking methods, Korean BBQ features tender and juicy meat, even more delicious when paired with lettuce and kimchi. ·Fried Chicken - South Korean fried chicken is crispy and comes in a variety of flavors, a perfect choice for late-night snacks and gatherings. ·Naengmyeon (Cold Noodles) - On a hot summer day, a bowl of ice-cold naengmyeon is pure bliss. The noodles are chewy, the broth is refreshing, and it's even more delicious when paired with various vegetables and eggs. Transportation: South Korea has a highly developed transportation network, with subways, buses, and taxis being the main modes of transportation. In major cities like Seoul, the subway is the most convenient and efficient way to travel. In addition, South Korea's car rental services are also well-established, so if you enjoy self-drive tours, give it a try. Accommodation: South Korea offers a wide variety of accommodation options, from luxury hotels to budget hotels and homestays. When choosing accommodation, you can select based on your budget and preferences. In major cities like Seoul, it's recommended to choose hotels near subway stations for more convenient travel. Tips: ·Bargaining is acceptable when shopping in South Korea, especially in small shops and markets. ·It's customary in South Korea to eat and chat simultaneously, so don't rush to leave when dining in restaurants. Take the opportunity to interact with the locals. ·Maintain quietness in public places, avoid loud conversations or boisterous behavior, and respect local cultural customs.
