The sign is eye-catching and very easy to find! It is actually the army hot pot that Yunluo and An Chuyu often eat. It's the last day, and I must experience the bustling metropolis of Seoul! I got up in the morning and ate something and went to the COEX Korea Convention and Exhibition Center. You need to take the subway line 2 and get off at Samseong Station, and walk straight out. There are shopping areas and food streets in COEX.
There are many places such as large bookstores, cinemas, conference rooms, news centers and exhibition halls. It is definitely a big shopping mall! COEX is not far from Bongeunsa Temple. It takes about ten minutes to walk there. Bongeunsa Temple was originally named Jianxing Temple and was located near a mausoleum. Later, it was rebuilt on a large scale and named Bongeunsa Temple.
Bongeunsa Temple is a famous temple in South Korea. It belongs to Zen Buddhism, has no walls, does not charge admission, and has some people who practice meditation. The scale is naturally not comparable to some temples in China, but the scenery is very good, small and exquisite, with a unique artistic conception. I plan to go there in the afternoon, so I have to take the subway line 2, and I can get to the station in three or four stops.
In Yunluo's impression, it is a high-end place. It is true. I had a terrible lunch at noon, so I went to a convenience store to buy a set meal. Haha, because I heard that the set meals in the convenience stores in Seoul are very delicious. If I don't eat it this time, I may never have another chance, so I hurried to experience it. This is it for lunch!
After lunch, I took a simple walk around the area and went to Sinsadong Boulevard. (I really don’t want to tell you why Yunluo is so messed up later. I really feel like I can’t write anymore!) I took a taxi directly there. Fashion, beauty, accessories, interior design. Everything Yunluo saw was concentrated here, and there were many surprises hidden behind the trees.
There are not only coffee shops, but also many small jewelry shops, all handmade. Each shop makes people feel relaxed and happy, and want to be a part of it. Then I took a taxi directly to Cheongdam-dong. There is a famous brand boutique street in Cheongdam-dong, and it is said that many Korean stars often visit here. So it is also called the Star Street.
Friends who want to see their idols can come here more often. There is also a hair salon street here. It is said that Korean beauty salons are very good, but in fact they are also very expensive. You can't get in here without a four-digit haircut, so do it according to your ability. Korea has really taken kimchi to the extreme, and everything can be kimchi.
Just like the barbecue in China. You can grill anything: bananas, eggplants, garlic, peppers, leeks. The guide said it was where the concubines lived, and my friend said it was where the family line was passed down. Haha, the words are rough but not rough. Is this also Favila? But it is much better than Rio. I want to go to Banpo Bridge to see the rainbow fountain at night.
But everyone was tired after a day of walking around. We just walked around to get familiar with the environment. Chengxin Women's University's business district is very lively, with all kinds of food and shopping. I heard from the aunt from Shenyang in the barbecue restaurant that there is a spicy hot pot restaurant opened by Chinese students. I like the steaming curtain, which is very good. I sweated a lot and then took a shower. All the tiredness from not resting for a night disappeared.
Full marks! There are 50 degrees, 60 degrees... 100 degrees, it depends on your own situation. Anyway, Yunluo didn't try 100 degrees, and he was almost roasted.
After driving for an hour, we arrived at the Han River Cruise. It was very romantic. I rarely watch Korean dramas, except for "The Success Story of a Bright Girl" and "Fated to Love You". In which TV series did the Han River Cruise appear? Boarding the ship---the words taught by the tour guide on the bus were actually used here. There were beautiful women guiding us to board the ship along the way.
Then my buddy said to the other person: hen, hen, a pack of medicine in June 2015. Seoul Han River --- Yunluo has been here. A warm and cheerful girl helped Yunluo a lot along the way. Kangmu Sahamida continued to be shameless. Is it because Yunluo has gone abroad too much? Promote Zhongxin. Sister Sun did a good job, but I feel that the local tour guide is a bit incompetent.
It doesn't matter. Time will always wash away the bad things and leave unforgettable memories. After all, the story of the separated families in North and South Korea also made me burst into tears. I secretly hid behind my sunglasses to cover up a little bit of embarrassment - feelings and family affection are really elusive and beautiful things. The tallest building is the 63 Building.
Don't think it has 63 floors, in fact it has only 60 floors, and there are three floors underground, inside there is a big aquarium and the skyart on the 60th floor, standing there you can see the entire night view, which is very beautiful. Namsan Seoul Tower---it is full of love locks, remember to throw away the keys. Hanfu Experience Hall, how a handful of seaweed was made to ascend the throne.
Ahem, I'm sitting so far away. Why didn't anyone remind me to take a photo of the beautiful Edamame during my "incognito" visit? Bukchon Hanok Village---one of the filming locations of Running Man. The seagull was taken by Brother Nan. The effect is pretty good, with the feeling of naked-eye 3D. It's the name of an American movie. Hints: it's related to a military operation in Somalia. Yunluo and An Chuyu can also film an episode of Running Man here.
I personally like this photo!!! I like the feeling of telephoto. No. 48 --- it's pretty in there. On a bridge of Cheonggyecheon --- just jump in and go with the flow. Cheonggyecheon is a major achievement of Lee Myung-bak, and it helped him win a lot of votes for his election as president. My roommate lives with his family, so Yunluo has been living alone in such a big room these days. Namsan Seoul Tower has the highest post office in the world.
Did you know that there is only one hour of activity time here? Yunluo climbed to the top of the tower just to send a postcard. Today is the happiest and most fulfilling day of the five-day trip. The romantic Han River cruise, the Seoul Tower where every second counts, and the ginseng chicken soup that everyone dislikes except Yunluo (maybe it tastes too light.
But Yunluo doesn’t like strong flavors, hahaha, and even did a promotion for them: nose bleeding). Here’s an embarrassing story to make everyone laugh: there is a 7-11 downstairs from the hotel, and I went there to buy a can of beer and some snacks like potato chips. Yunluo saw that the beer was discounted, but didn’t pay attention when checking out (maybe because he had no idea about Korean won).
Oh, damn, Koreans. When I was in high school, I heard that a foreign teacher bought a washbasin for 4 dollars. I didn’t expect Yunluo to make a similar mistake. Before going, I was well prepared. If I did something embarrassing, I would speak Japanese. I couldn’t leave it outside, hahaha.
Lotte Amusement Park is a large indoor amusement park. There should be amusement projects outdoors. Yunluo didn't go and encountered a performance. I don't know if it is held every day. A handsome guy took the initiative to pose for victory when he saw Yunluo taking pictures. Hahah After taking a bite, I realized that Yunluo must have been reluctant to eat it, which made the day not so good.
Standing in the cosmetics store is like reading a book with words, a little bit at a loss, everyone seems to be very excited about buying. However, the amusement park and beer fried chicken at night are still great. In a foreign country, I met a few friends, drank and chatted together, and looked at the bustling streets outside. There are no worries about work, and I don’t want the pressure of life.
This is the moment to be the real me. It is said that the Running Man was filmed in Gwangjang Market. The snacks there are also famous in Korea and abroad. I won’t say much. Let’s go. I didn’t take many photos, but I tasted a lot. It’s a paradise for foodies. Friends who are interested are recommended to go and have a look. Is this seafood kimchi? It looks scary. In fact, everyone who travels independently also goes shopping.
So don't complain. Yunluo wanted to go to Ewha Womans University and Hongik University because he wanted to go with his friends. But we went to Myeongdong. Speak softly. It was quite boring. We went to the 63 Building to enjoy the night view. Seoul is a wealthy area, and the development is much better than Gangbuk. The night view on both sides of the Han River is really beautiful!
The Avenue of Stars overlooking Namsan Seoul Tower was a very dramatic day. 1. Brother Chen was a little afraid of heights. The words he said when he was standing on the glass platform were very classic: Brother, Yunluo accidentally looked down, his legs were shaking, and he didn't dare to stand up; 2. When I walked back for a while, I remembered that my iPad was left upstairs. I hurried back.
After several communications, I agreed to escort my friend up there to look for it. The lights were already off, but he was still using his cell phone to help look for it. It was quite rare. I'd like to give a thumbs up to the staff of the building and my own English, haha. There was an interesting episode in 3. There was a road on the side of the road, as it was far away from the zebra crossings on both sides, and there were not many cars on the road.
When my buddy crossed the road and walked to the middle, he wanted to wait for the car to pass first, but the car stopped with its hazard lights on more than ten meters away. I feel that this aspect of South Korea is very humane. At the zebra crossings that Yunluo saw, there was never a situation where cars and people competed for the road; there was a special lane separated by a yellow line on the road, which was prepared for buses and coaches.
At least I haven't seen cars cutting in these days, so I don't know how common it is. The square is full of tents, which are to commemorate the victims of the Jeju Island shipwreck. Yunluo just saw the news that a ship capsized in the Yangtze River, and more than 400 people were in danger of death. The elderly have worked hard all their lives and should have enjoyed a peaceful life, but they suffered such a disaster.
God has mercy on the grass, and the world values the late sunshine---praying for blessings! The first mall I want to introduce to you is the Monground, which just opened in April. You have already seen the pictures. Its biggest feature is that it is built with more than 200 containers, the first in Korea. In addition to the selling point of the appearance, it also strives to create a fashion center. The entire mall is divided into two large containers.
One is a street market, the other is a market hall. There is a small square between them, where hamburger and juice trucks are usually parked. Due to the force, the containers cannot be stacked too high. The main shopping mall is two-story, and the third floor is an open-air platform with restaurants scattered around. The main color of the container is blue.
The blue patches standing on the street are definitely eye-catching. The display windows of the mall and the doors of the containers are interlaced in sequence. They are neither too monotonous with iron sheets nor too indistinguishable from other malls with windows. The red clothes I wear today are still very prominent! Here is a panoramic picture of this half. The shops in it are mainly clothing.
The main products are accessories and cosmetics, which are not expensive. Mobile phone case brand designskin The third floor of the mall is a balcony where you can take a rest and bask in the sun. There are also many restaurants next to the walkway. Although there is a part of the fourth floor here, you cannot go up. A circle of white sheds was built on the small square today.
Selling flowers, small ornaments, and carts selling burgers, juice, fries, and beer. You can also choose these fast food to solve the problem of eating. Save time and go shopping. Markethall This is another part of the mall. Although it also sells clothes and accessories, the obvious difference here is that it is more trendy!
The layout of this building is similar to the Chinese character "井". There are shops in a circle on the side. The cosmetics are sold in the middle, but what's more interesting is a red container. Guess what it's for? It's a DJ! Compared with the songs that are automatically played in general shopping malls, the B-level here is obviously much higher. The clothes here are mostly trendy brands, but they don't have to be big brands.
There are both Korean and international ones. It makes you feel popular, but not too crowded and loses its individuality. Evajunie, Waysspell, Newera, Brwonbreath, Waylon, etc. There are various restaurants on the top floor. It is built in a container and feels quite fashionable. There is a cafe on the first floor of the markethall.
I was tired from walking around so I just stopped by to sit. It was still very popular, and the place was basically full. I ordered a rainbow cake for 8,000 won. It was quite a big piece, but it tasted ordinary, like a cream cake. It was mainly because it looked good. I ordered it at: Subway Line 2, get off at the entrance of Konkuk University (?), Yunluo and An Chuyu came out from Exit 6.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Walk along the street and you will see it in about 5 minutes. It is on this side of the street. No need to turn, just go straight. Personal evaluation: unique container construction, fashionable brand and design.
It has always been a popular place for people to come. It has gone beyond the scope of a cafe and has become a tourist attraction. After changing the address in October last year, it has gone up a level. Highly recommended! Wow. A pink bow-shaped gate is right in front of you. Hello Kitty lives in a mansion. Although it was also a two-story single-family house before, it is nothing compared to the big yard now.
It's so romantic and luxurious with all kinds of flowers and plants! How nice it would be to live here? After entering the door, there is a path leading up to the coffee shop, which avoids the feeling of being in full view of the door and creates a relatively independent private space. It's a great layout. Okay, there will be a lot of narcissistic photos throughout the article. You know, I didn't come here to drink their coffee this time.
I went there in early spring. A magnolia tree was in full bloom, and the pink house matched the blue sky. You would think, yes, this is Kitty's home! The cafe is a two-story house, all painted in a dreamy pink color, which looks very warm. There is a souvenir shop on the left when you enter the door. Order on the right. Assuming everyone orders first, then wait for the time.
Take your time to browse this step. To be honest, Yunluo thinks that the taste of their coffee desserts is only average, but the elements of Kitty are everywhere. There are real objects on display for desserts, so you don't have to worry about giving English back to the math teacher. Or if you can only say "Oppa" in bad Korean, just use the One Finger to poke and you can always get this cake.
I ordered it last time. It looks good, but it tastes so-so. I won't order it this time. In addition to drinking coffee, girls can also have a meal here, bread with salad, if you want to be slim, you can only pay this way. With this vibrator, you can find a seat and walk around. Come to the pickup area below to pick it up later.
On the other side of the entrance is the gift shop. Many coffee shops will set up a cabinet to sell customized coffee cups, souvenirs, etc. Kitty is a well-known cartoon cat, so one cabinet is not enough. There is a small shop dedicated to selling Kitty-related products. Maybe you can't resist the temptation. There is also a limited edition Kitty version of Polaroid.
As a Hello Kitty-themed coffee shop, there are naturally elements everywhere. Yunluo and An Chuyu Next, take a closer look at what is in the coffee shop? This is the welcome kitty at the entrance. There is a cute fireplace about half a person's height. This is the layout of the coffee shop on the first floor, with pink walls and pink chairs.
The tables are still in wood yellow, otherwise, I guess everyone would feel pink color blind after coming in. Today is a sunny weekend, but there are not many tourists, about 40%. Maybe it’s because it hasn’t been moved here for long. When I went to the old store, it was not easy to find a seat.
The biggest surprise on the second floor is: Kitty's boudoir! This is the feeling of home. When we were young, we all dreamed of having a pink bedroom of our own, with a pink bed, a pink dressing table, and pink wallpaper, as if we were a princess. At least this dream has come true at this moment. Looking out from the bedroom window, wow.
Pink tiles, everything is so fairytale-like. Sofa: The seat decoration feels like a bed. During this time, the vibrator started to work, so I went to the first floor and brought it up. It was still green tea latte, better than the old store, which used to be served in disposable cups. Next to it was tiramisu, which was my favorite flavor. On a spring afternoon, I sat in a pink kitty store.
Sipping coffee, guess what Yunluo is imagining at this moment? A kitty world, Muhaha takes subway line 2, gets off at Hongik University entrance (?), and then exits from exit 9.
Not everyone is familiar with it. It is probably similar to WeChat. Now you know it. It was first launched by Naver in Japan in 2011. It is the top player in Japan and Taiwan, and has 400 million users worldwide. However, it is not as popular as KakaoTalk in Korea, after all, Kakao started earlier.
When you see a sign like this, you know you've arrived. LINE friends, Yunluo is here!! As soon as you enter the door, you'll see the treasure of the store, Big Bear! The two-meter-tall doll is very domineering, but its expression is also very cute. It was a sunny Saturday when I came today, and the store was having a spring sale, so there were a lot of people coming to the store. (To be continued...)
