1373rd Paper Crane Festival



Isn't it very atmospheric to take photos from above? After choosing the various kinds of fresh seafood, go upstairs to find a small shop like this and pay some sauce and processing fees. Generally, seafood stores also have recommended restaurants, so you can ask. After a delicious dinner, Yunluo recommends that the next itinerary for everyone is Yeouido 63 Building!

I believe every girl who has watched Korean dramas will have a longing for the 63 Building! Although it may not be the tallest building in Korea anymore, it is full of Korean drama memories and you must go and see it! The ticket to the observatory is 12,000 won, and foreigners can get a discount by showing their passports. The address of the 63 Building is: ??60.

Let's take you to the most classical Korean Gwanghwamun area. Compared with the already famous Bukchon, Yunluo first introduces you to the more quiet and mysterious Seochon, where there are many small shops with historical and cultural heritage worth visiting. Day 3: Cheong Wa Dae → Seochon → Gwanghwamun → Myeongdong → Namsan Night Tour Breakfast.

Tongin Market Lunch: Myeongdong Snacks Dinner: Myeongdong Lotte Underground Food Street Just like you must visit Tiananmen Square and Zhongnanhai when you go to Beijing, you must visit the presidential palace, Cheong Wa Dae, when you come to Seoul. What's more humane than the sea is that you can make an appointment to visit the Cheong Wa Dae! Because there are so many people who make appointments, friends who want to go in and participate in the shares usually have to make an appointment 1 or 2 months in advance!

The English reservation website is here: /tours/ There is also a food culture experience center in front of the Blue House. If you want to experience the process of making Korean food yourself, I don’t recommend you to go there, because basically you just watch the teachers inside make it. But if you are a big foodie and just want to go for a meal!

Well! You can go here! The seafood pancakes and beef vermicelli I had last time were really the best! After visiting the Blue House, walk towards Gyeongbokgung Palace and you will see Tongin Market (?), a large traditional market in Korea. Although it is not as large as Gwangjang Market and has many tourists, it is famous for having many shops selling traditional bento.

After buying rice, you can choose your favorite side dishes. Various traditional Korean side dishes are only 500.1000 won. If you come here during lunch time, you will see many office workers nearby choosing to eat here. Friends who want to taste the traditional Korean food must not miss this place. You can reach the Seochon area by going directly through Tongren Market.

Unlike Bukchon, Seochon has a large number of Hanok houses, but there are many traditional shops with a long history. The famous Hyoja Cake Shop is on the right hand side of the Tongren Market. It is famous for supplying goods to the Blue House. Although it opens at 12 o'clock every day, many people come here to visit.

You often have to queue up. If you come a little late, you often can't buy the most famous breads of the store. Although it is not a large bakery chain, there are many kinds of bread here. The staff are all very warm. If you don't know what to eat, you can ask the staff. At the same time, there are free samples when you enter the store.

You can taste and choose according to your favorite flavor. The most famous cornbread in the store, Yunluo bought the chocolate-colored bread in the picture below, which has thick cheese and some blueberries. I forgot to take a photo after biting it directly. But because it was freshly baked, it was still steaming, and it was really much more fragrant than the bread in ordinary bakery chains. It was very delicious!

Walking out of the bakery and down the alley toward Gyeongbokgung Palace, you will see this traditional Chinese restaurant called Yonghelou. The restaurant has a history of more than 50 years. The general Korean noodles are slightly sweet, but the restaurant is indeed famous for its chili noodles and chili seafood noodles. If you want to try what a Chinese restaurant in Korea tastes like, this is definitely a good choice.

If you go there during lunch time, you will often have to wait in line for a long time. After passing Yonghe Building, you will see the oldest second-hand bookstore in Seoul - Daegu Bookstore (?). Daegu Bookstore has been in business for more than 80 years since 1934 and still maintains its original and simple appearance. Although the bookstore no longer sells second-hand books.

However, it was renovated into a cafe on the original basis. You can feel the history and culture of more than 80 years by drinking a cup of coffee. How pleasant! This is also a favorite filming location for many Korean stars. IU, the national sister, has filmed here. I believe fans can remember which scene this bookstore has appeared in at a glance.

Walking along Seochon, you can see a variety of small shops full of traditional characteristics. After passing through Seochon, walk to the left of the road and you will see the famous Gyeongbokgung Palace and Gwanghwamun Square. Although it is still the same modern cement road, the lanes are constantly flowing, and there are many modern high-rise buildings. But in the center is the ancient palace with a long history and King Sejong.

The sculpture of General Yi Sun-sin really gives you a sense of traveling through time and space. If you think that Gwanghwamun only has traditional ancient buildings to see, you are wrong! There is also the largest chain bookstore in Korea, Kyobo Bookstore, right next to Exit 4 of Gwanghwamun Subway Station! Here you can buy books and magazines from all over the world.

There are comics, the most complete Korean CDs, and Korean drama DVDs in Korea. The cute stationery sold in the stationery store will definitely make girls love it! Dazzling Korean magazines, full of Korean CDs, which one do you want? The newly launched Lamy fountain pen. Is there a lemon scent coming to your face! ?

People of all ages were squatting or sitting, reading the books they cared about, which was very pleasant. You can buy some colorful cute toys and stationery to give back to your students and friends in China. There was also a free postcard activity when the clouds fell. Everyone wrote their blessings to their friends solemnly. We continued along the way after leaving Kyobo Library.

Cross the road and walk a little further in the opposite direction of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and you will see the representative spiral sculpture of Cheonggyecheon! The small square is crowded with tourists. Children are laughing and playing by the fountain, and couples are trying to throw coins into the center of the wishing pond by the river. The whole Cheonggyecheon is filled with the smell of happiness! It is very close to Myeongdong from Cheonggyecheon.

If you can't find the way, just take a taxi! Myeongdong is like a busy commercial pedestrian street with all brands. It has the most complete cosmetics brands and you can taste all kinds of delicious Korean snacks. It is also a dating place for young Korean couples. Many Korean stars have said that they hope to be with their boyfriends.

My girlfriend is holding hands and shopping in Myeongdong! The street date between Chae-kyung and Prince Shin in the Korean drama "Goong" and the passing of the handsome man and Shin-woo in "You're Beautiful" were all filmed in Myeongdong. Namsan Tower is not far away. Friends who come to Myeongdong must not miss the waffles of beansbins!

The store is located on the second floor of Savoyhotel. Although the average price is over 15,000 won, it is really the best waffle store among all coffee chains! The fruit waffles, ice cream waffles, chocolate waffles, etc. are all very delicious! Various Korean snacks.

If you are hungry, you can buy and eat on the street! Although there are various small shops on the streets of Myeongdong, Yunluo recommends noonsquare and youngplaza the most! The 5th floor of noonsquare specializes in selling clothes designed by local Korean designers. The clothes here have Korean style characteristics and are not the same as those sold in small shops outside.

It is the most unique one! Friends who like Korean fashion must go to see it! Yunluo and Anchuyu got married. The sweet potato couple went here when they went to Myeongdong to make Xiaoxian feel relieved because Yonghe lost his scarf! And I also recommend YoungPlaza, which is connected to Lotte Duty Free and Lotte Department Store!

There are many Korean local clothing brands here. The styles are updated very quickly! If you want to know the latest Korean fashion trends, go here! There are also SM peripheral stores, Teddy Bear stores and LineFriends peripheral stores downstairs. Yunluo often shop there and enjoys it so much that he doesn't want to leave, haha! The piano stairs in front of the SM peripheral store really make a sound when you step on them.

Walk towards the entrance of Euljiro Station and you will see the Staravenue of Lotte Duty Free Shop. The celebrity lineup of Lotte family is getting more and more luxurious. It turns out that you can have both Professor Do and long-legged Oppa! You can see all kinds of high-end brands in duty-free shops. Chinese people are all local tycoons, buying them in big bags like buying cabbage!

For dinner in Myeongdong, Yunluo recommends a drive-in restaurant called ? (parkinginplate)! The whole restaurant is like a car world. Unlike ordinary pizza, their pizza is eaten by scooping! Yunluo remembers that Kyuhyun from Super Junior recommended it in a program!

Address: 2?32-27?3-4? (3-4th floor, Haiyan Building, 32-27, Myeongdong 2-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul) After eating, you can go to Namsan to enjoy the night view! If you feel strong enough, you can try to climb up (it takes about 40 minutes to climb to the top).

If you take the cable car, the round trip is 8,000 won, and the one-way is 6,000 won. ps: If you go during the day, there is a free circular bus that can go up the mountain. Because you climb up. Yunluo also saw many different beautiful scenery. At that time, the night cherry blossoms in Nanshan were in full bloom! As soon as the cable car stops, there is a newly built small padlock platform.

All kinds of locks hold the wishes of friends from all directions. Finally, we arrived at the romantic destination in Korean dramas - Seoul Tower. Looking down from Namsan Mountain, the whole city has become a little starlight, but the whole heart is like a spring breeze, suddenly bright. So far, Yunluo's day 3 tour has come to an end.

The third day is a trip to the west side of Gwanghwamun, so the fourth day is a trip to the east side of Gwanghwamun! Changdeokgung Palace, which has more history and culture than Gyeongbokgung Palace! Insadong, the South Luoguxiang of Korea! The petite Bukchon Samcheongdong! Korea's Guohua Gukritaewon! Let Yunluo tell you. Day 4: Changdeokgung Palace → Bukchon + Samcheongdong → Insadong.

Itaewon steam room to experience steam room culture Breakfast: Enjoy breakfast at a coffee shop Lunch: Enjoy the traditional bento in Insadong Dinner: Steam room Snacks In the streets and alleys of Seoul, besides the convenience stores that are everywhere, the most common ones should be various coffee shops! Although there are many coffee chain stores in China now.

However, because the prices of domestic coffee shops are relatively high and the coffee culture is not as popular as in Korea, people generally don’t go to coffee shops unless they are discussing business. But in Korean culture, you can go to coffee shops for breakfast, meet friends, take a break after a meal, and hold meetings.

Even students like to go to coffee shops to do their homework! Yunluo once asked a Korean friend if she thought it was noisy to study in a coffee shop. Her answer was: "Coffee shops have a very clever atmosphere. Although they may be a little noisy, they are surprisingly calming." Now that she has been in Korea for a long time, Yunluo often likes to go to coffee shops no matter what she does.

I often stay there for most of the day! Imagine a leisurely summer morning. Ordering a glass of iced drink with freshly baked dessert is the best start to a beautiful day. As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, and if you come to Bukchon, it means that the early bird gets the worm! Because Bukchon is so famous now, a large number of tour groups go here every day.

If you go there late, you won't see the scenery but the tourists coming and going, so Yunluo suggested that you get up early. Many people think that going to Bukchon is to go to Anguk Station. But Yunluo arranged Changdeokgung Palace before that because the first of the famous eight scenic spots of Bukchon is the panoramic view of Changdeokgung Palace.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It is convenient to start from the easternmost part and then go to Insadong near Anguk Station. Compared with Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace was actually the palace where the king lived the longest in the late Joseon Dynasty, so the architecture is more gorgeous than Gyeongbokgung Palace! This is probably why Changdeokgung Palace was selected instead of Gyeongbokgung Palace.

The reason why it is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. Walk in along the left side of the Changdeokgung Palace gate, turn left at the first intersection, look back, and the first view of Bukchon is behind you. Then Yunluo walked as he pleased, without looking for the eight views of Bukchon one by one according to the map, but the various scenery he saw along the way still made Yunluo feel beautiful enough.

Because the most beautiful scenery is on the road. Two cute foreign girls are sitting in front of the store taking pictures. There are different scenery at every corner. Such romantic shops can be found everywhere in Bukchon. Central High School, which is famous for Winter Sonata, attracts all kinds of tourists every day, especially Japanese. Unknown scenery at the corner is on the most famous main road in Bukchon.

The bride is taking wedding photos. I believe the result will be beautiful. Because many court craftsmen lived here in the past, many Korean houses have been transformed into workshops for tourists to visit. After walking to the Bukchon Observatory, the famous Samcheong-dong area is down. Every tree and grass is a scenery. In Samcheong-dong, I saw that Coffee with you has launched a new smoothie in cooperation with LINE.

The Cony rabbit is so cute that Yun Luo can't bear to eat it! Walking out of Samcheongdong is the east side of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Outside the city wall of Jianchunmun, the spring scenery is in full swing. Summer is coming! Go to the intersection, cross the road and walk a distance in the direction of Changdeokgung Palace at the beginning, and you will reach South Korea's Nanluoguxiang - Insadong! I wonder if you have noticed it.

Unlike other places in Seoul where the shop signs in Insadong are mainly in English, the most conspicuous signs here are definitely in Korean! Perhaps this is a silent respect for traditional culture. In Insadong, near the exit of Anguk Station, the famous Miss Lee Sung Tea House is located upstairs from the GS25 convenience store!

Fans of the sweet potato couple will definitely come to this place for pilgrimage! Yunluo recommends that you eat lunch here! The service attitude of the store clerks here is super good and really deserves a big thumbs up! Most of the friends who come here are to try the "memory bento", which is packed in an iron box. Simple kimchi, seaweed, and ham.

Paired with an 80% cooked egg, this is the taste that many Koreans remember. ps: The price of the bento is 6500 won. In addition to Seohyun and Yonghwa, many other celebrities have been here. After a full meal, you can go out to Insadong! Yunluo highly recommends a store! There are two floors in total, with all kinds of exquisite small handicrafts.

Handmade dried flower cards. Every step is like a fairy tale world. It seems that the cartoon characters here are designed by the owner himself. There are many cute gadgets that cannot be bought anywhere else. Of course, the most important thing you can't miss when you come to Insadong is the Samji Street with "Renren" as its logo! There are so many small handicrafts, each of which is very delicate.

I really want to take them all away. The rooftop of Sanji Street is also very cute! As soon as you come out of Sanji Street, you can see a green tea dessert shop called (Osul Green). They specialize in all products related to Jeju Island green tea. There are all kinds of beautifully packaged teas for sale. Yunluo thinks it is both decent and unique as a souvenir.

As a big foodie, Yunluo couldn't miss the green tea desserts here. Yunluo ordered the green tea ice cream and green tea red bean cake set, which was 7900 won if I remember correctly. The warm green tea red bean cake paired with the icy green tea ice cream makes the tip of your tongue blend in ice and fire, with a unique flavor! Their ice cream is all sugar-free.

Friends who are worried about sugar can also eat without any scruples. After visiting Insadong, which represents the traditional history and culture of Korea, we are going to the next place - Itaewon, a small foreign country in Seoul! Yunlu recommends that the first stop here is the very famous Itaewon Paradise (??) steam room!

Take subway line 6 to Itaewon station, exit 3, and walk straight ahead until you see a huge wooden staircase. Go up! There are many foreign restaurants with great flavors in Itaewon. If you are worried that you will not be full in the sauna, you can fill your stomach outside before going in. When you see this wooden staircase, please go up!

When you reach the top, you can see the sign of Itaewon Paradise (??) sauna room! This place first became famous among foreign tourists because of the Korean drama Secret Garden. The Sweet Potato couple also came here. (Yunluo found that Yunluo really had a fight with this couple, haha) Every day, many tourists come here to sauna. (To be continued...)
