Travel Guide to Seoul, South Korea | Slow-paced Travel Plan

It was a pleasant surprise when I went to Seoul for the first time ☁️ I could have fun even at a slow pace I didn’t have any particular itinerary for this trip to Seoul. I just wanted to eat well, walk around, and take some photos. The result was more healing than I expected. I have compiled my personal travel essentials + food recommendations + travel routes, so you don’t have to rush❗️ Sisters who are going to travel, hurry up and get going~ ✈️ Essential checklist for traveling to Korea | Don’t make mistakes when packing! ⚠️ These must be prepared! ☑️ Passport / Mainland China ID card / Visa (printed electronic visa) ☑️ Cash 💵 + Visa card / bank card (UnionPay is also accepted) ☑️ Phone data card + T-money transportation card (Recommendation: 🍑Xinyi Airport self-pickup package, free transportation card, super convenient❗️) ☑️ Adapter plug (must bring!) + power bank ☑️ Black signature pen (for filling in the arrival card on the plane) ☑️ Exchange money: The best exchange rate is opposite the Chinese Embassy in Myeongdong! 🍽️ Recommended must-eat food in Seoul • Stir-fried rice cakes / fish cakes (recommended: Hongdae 조폭 떡볶이) •Myth Pig’s Trotter (marinated just right, not greasy! Even those who don’t like pig’s trotters like it) • Hong Kong Restaurant (Jiajiangmian + Sweet and Sour Pork) • Gangnam Noodle House (recommended beef ribs, Korean beef is really as good as its reputation, Korean dumplings are also delicious) •Korean BBQ (Hongdae 일편등심 main branch) 📍Address: 6-52-2, 3-6-1 • Octopus Hot Pot (Hongdae 홍스쭈꾸미) 📍Address: 146, Dongcheon-dong •Twotwo Fried Chicken (available in multiple locations) •Snow sausage soup rice (Dongdaemun 할매순대국) 📍Address: 34-1, Seoul (⚠️Heavy taste, be careful if you don’t like offal) 🗺️ Seoul Fun Tour (Departing from Myeongdong) • Gyeongbokgung Palace (15 minutes by subway) • Dongdaemun (11 minutes by subway / 10 minutes on foot) • Gwangjang Market (8 minutes by car) •Namsan Seoul Tower (30 minutes by subway) • Lotte World (30 minutes by subway) • Hongdae (15 minutes by subway) • Bukchon Hanok Village (10 minutes walk) • Cheong Wa Dae / Presidential Palace + Insadong District (can be arranged together) 🚶‍♀️🚶Just stroll around and eat as you like, without rushing your schedule, and slowly experience the city of Seoul, you can also have a comfortable and fulfilling journey~
