Republic of Korea (The Republic of Korea)

Capital: Seoul

Area: 90,937 square kilometers

Form of government: Democratic **** and system

Difference from Beijing: +1 hour

International telephone code: 0082Population. 47 million people

Language: Korean

Special emphasis:

1. Korean food is mostly light, spicy and cold, which is quite different from Chinese food habits, so Chinese tourists can prepare some instant noodles and cookies in order to prevent discomfort;

2. Korean hotels are lower than Chinese hotels in terms of standard, and the facilities are also different, and usually not as opulent as Chinese hotels. Like Chinese hotels as magnificent lobby, but Korean hotels are clean, neat and tidy;

3, South Korean hotels need to charge for toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, bath soap and other supplies, slippers are not disposable slippers, if you need to, please bring your own supplies;

4, the use of Chinese yuan and U.S. dollars to the airport counter with a "two alternatives" can be exchanged for the "two alternatives" counter. Please note that you can change Korean currency with RMB or US dollars at the counter marked with "two alternatives" at the airport! Please refer to the above tour notice for other notes!

Don't forget to bring some snacks as well as toothbrushes and toothpaste

Koreans love kimchi, have spicy tastes, and have more barbecue and less oil and water. We are in South Korea for five days, in addition to a ginseng chicken soup and an abalone congee is quite appetizing, the rest of the meals, the table is always clear kimchi, seaweed, dried bean threads, bean sprouts four dishes of coleslaw, plus cabbage and meat barbecue or hot pot, and the Koreans do not like to put monosodium glutamate (MSG), so you will feel that the meal is bland and can not eat rice. I always hear Hong Kong or Guangdong people at the neighboring table exclaiming that they have come to Korea to become a monk. At our table, we passed around snow peas, squash or meat floss that we had brought from home to eat.

Domestic hotels disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste are free, slightly more upscale hotels, you will also prepare shampoo and shower gel. Korean hotels for environmental considerations is not to provide free toothbrushes and toothpaste, but will be these things and razors, etc. in the room on the writing desk, and put a price list, you must look carefully, not careful, the next day, a bill will have to pay a lot of money. The two small bottles sitting next to the sink are often toner and moisturizer, not shampoo and body lotion like at home, which you will find inconvenient.

And the green button on the TV remote control in the room, you have to think before you press it, because it is a "show", specializing in adult movies, is a fee, although it is only a hundred yuan, but the next morning on the bus in front of the crowd, the guide asked so-and-so room, please pay for the show, it would be embarrassing.

Some places can not camera, photography, be sure to comply

Korea has a number of places, due to political or heritage protection reasons, is not allowed to camera or photography, every attraction, the tour guide will generally remind a little bit, you must listen to clear, strict compliance. Like the Presidential Palace, Cheong Wa Dae, Cheon Ma Ka and other attractions are prohibited camera. We have a tourist in the car, luck, in the car to shoot the Presidential Palace exterior, immediately by the security personnel in civilian clothes found, get on the car to ask you to pin the image, and deducted the tour guide's documents, tossed a long time, the car's atmosphere is screwed up.

Buying in South Korea generally do not return the price

Seoul's Dongdaemun and Namdaemun is a big clothing market, but generally do not return the price, maybe you can try, but return the price is very small. Like some small souvenirs with national characteristics, the price is about the same in the stalls, small stores and duty-free stores, so you see fit to buy it, there is no need to compare more. But tobacco and alcohol, the airport duty-free store price is the cheapest, such as the Korean people love to smoke "THIS" brand cigarettes, the street sells 11,000 won, the duty-free store is only sold for 8,800 won.

Because of the different habits of bargaining, we also and the Korean guide had a very unpleasant. In Jeju, the guide persuaded us to go on a boat ride for 15,000 won per person (about 120 yuan) to give the driver a little more "financial". Because the guide's tone of voice is quite like "forced to ask for food", we agreed reluctantly, I asked the guide with a smile, "can be cheaper?" Unexpectedly, the guide was very angry, of course, this has to do with the quality of the guide. So if you don't want to add some, don't bargain, simply say no, don't talk to the guide more.

The guide took to the "public sale", should be careful to buy

Korea compared to China, prices 5-10 times more expensive, so unless very unique, or carefully use your wallet in exchange for 2000 U.S. dollars. This is especially true of the "public sale bureaus" that tour guides take you to.

On our first day in South Korea, our local guide spoke at length about the history of South Korea, his own life, and the economy of South Korea to the development of China, with gags and enthusiasm. Unfortunately, the good times do not last long, the next morning, the guide took us to the "ginseng public market", the narrow public market is crowded with people from China, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, the promotional lady with fluent Chinese to introduce the medicinal value of Korean ginseng, and repeatedly emphasize that the complementary body needs a certain course of treatment, and strongly recommended us a box of 600 grams of Korean ginseng, we took a look at the labeling of the ginseng, and we saw a box of 600 grams of Korean ginseng. Taiji ginseng, we look at the price of 225 U.S. dollars, think of China's vast territory, producing Changbai Mountain ginseng, wild ginseng, red ginseng, why bother to turn the limited dollars on this ginseng, so not many buyers. Unexpectedly, the sudden change of the wind and clouds, the tour guide got on the car and picked up the microphone and said: "We take the group is to make money, not to drink the northwest wind." Said the front of a seat, and from then on we threw in the "ice kiln".

Additionally, like the guide to take to the amethyst processing plant in Seoul, Jeju's honey store and pearl museum, which are abundant in China, where the price is at least ten times that of the domestic.

Beware of the "sneak peeker"

The car, in addition to the tour guide is always followed by a "tour guide assistant", all the way to carry luggage, add food very attentive, but he always love to pose for photos when you take out their own camera sneak peeker, and at the end of the day, he took a stack of well-finished photos. He took a large stack of developed photos, one by one to you, said satisfied with please pay 40 yuan a, not satisfied with do not matter, taking into account their own "jade photo" in a foreign land is not good, the group only obediently pay, the group of an old lady in the way, gritted her teeth "subscription!

The first time I saw a picture of a woman in a car, she said, "I don't want to see her in the car.

One, food: Korea's most famous specialties are seam instant noodles, Myeongdong pork cutlet, Myeongdong dumplings, etc., which Myeongdong pork cutlet and Myeongdong dumplings, Japan and other foreign repeat customers are very much. In addition, Myeongdong Mom's restaurant offers delicious seafood soup and is located between ES QUIRE and SPR IS on Jungang-ro in Myeong-dong. Korean food has a lot of green onions, garlic, ginger and chili peppers, so if it's hard to adapt, bring your own tasty snacks (such as squash). In Jeju Island must eat raw seafood, because the seafood there is absolutely no pollution.

Second, accommodation: in South Korea, the big hotels are using the reservation system, that is, must be booked in advance.

Third, call: hotels will increase the service charge, so it is best not to call in the room, the most economical way is to buy a phone card (available everywhere) to the card phone to play. South Korea is the world's first to promote CDMA mobile technology, the domestic CDMA133 cell phone opened international roaming and international long-distance, can be used directly in South Korea. If it is a GSM cell phone, it can not be used in Korea, you can go to China Mobile's business office to rent a Korean cell phone and bring it to use in advance. The phone calls within Korea are free of charge.

Transportation: In Seoul, there are many cabs, of which the black ones are the most expensive; and there is a yellow banner on the car with "FREE INTERNATIONAL" written on it, which means that there is a free international interpreter phone in the car, so that if you can't communicate with the driver, you can pick up the phone inside the car with English, Mandarin and other language choices, and you will be able to make a call to a foreigner. If you can't communicate with the driver, you can pick up the car phone, which has English, Mandarin and other languages to choose from, and tell the interpreter your destination, and she'll tell the driver where it is.

Fifth, shopping: Seoul has a bustling underground commercial network. Many subway entrances and underground aisles lead to this amazing network of underground businesses where you can buy cheap items. However, of Seoul's commercial districts, the one most frequented by foreigners is Itaewon, which is adjacent to the main U.S. military post. Insadong, also known as Mary's Alley, is home to many antique and art stores. Namdaemun and Dongdaemun are Korea's largest general wholesale markets with thousands of stores and stalls, known for their wide variety of daily goods and cheap prices. Between midnight and 4:00 a.m. every day, retailers from all over the country come here to buy goods, creating a busy wholesale night market. Seoul is also home to a large number of specialty markets, including the Kyungdong Market, which specializes in tonics and Dongdol (Korean medicine), and Asia's largest electronics market.
