Let's take a photo that you can carry with you. The process and cost of taking photos are listed above, you can choose according to your requirements and preferences. This is Yunluo and his friends, one for each. It took a while to queue up to get the photo. While taking the photo, there were many local Korean friends taking photos.
You can choose clothes and photo styles. I feel so young. [Little knowledge] Insadong Insadong is located in the center of the city. It is a rare space where ancient and precious traditional items are circulated. Insadong is centered on the avenue, with many alleys on both sides, like a maze.
This maze is filled with galleries, traditional craft shops, ancient art shops, traditional tea shops, traditional restaurants, coffee shops, etc. The shops in Insadong are all unique, and are very popular with young and middle-aged people. The fifth stop is Cheonggyecheon. I didn't think much of Cheonggyecheon before the clouds fell there, but I discovered it when I really got there.
This is a very comfortable and clear place where you won't feel like slowing down. The following are the three sections of Cheonggyecheon. There are eight scenic spots in Cheonggyecheon. The pictures below show you all. You can find them and take pictures when you go there. The landmark building of Cheonggyecheon, the conch--Spring Tower. Don't be fooled by the bright sunshine outside. The sun is very strong and hot.
Under the bridge, it is very cool. There are breezes mixed with the coolness of the stream. There are schools of small fish in the stream, and birds resting on the rocks in the water. Office workers nearby enjoy it very much. They bring food here during lunch time and eat lunch in groups of three or two in the cool breeze.
After lunch, we will take a leisurely walk on the paths along the stream and enjoy the lunch break. It is very pleasant! [Little knowledge] Cheonggyecheon This river is called Cheonggyecheon. It used to be a stinking ditch, a river that confirms the 500-year development history of the Joseon Kingdom, and a riverbed covered with mud and garbage.
A river that was heavily polluted by dirty wooden sheds and sewage, and a large amount of sewage flowed through the city center. The stench caused pain to the surrounding residents and damaged the overall image of the city. The river was completely covered and built into an asphalt road. Shops were lined up on both sides and it became a commercial center. The river disappeared.
In 2003, it was re-excavated and restored to its original vitality after several years of renovation. It is the Cheonggyecheon Stream in Seoul, South Korea. The Cheonggyecheon Stream restoration project is an important step in Seoul's construction of an "ecological city". Its landscape design gives people a sense of ecological harmony. The river is designed as a compound section, generally with 2-3 steps.
The sidewalk is close to the water surface to achieve the purpose of being close to water. The elevation is the highest water level of the river design. The middle step is generally the river bank, and the top step is the permanent road surface. The tunnel fountain jumps directly into the water from the section. Walking at the bottom of the embankment is like being in a water curtain cave with neon lights overhead. The sound of water gurgles under your feet, and the clear stream is within your reach.
The landscape on Cheonggyecheon forms a spatial sequence along the river. Although the river is long, there are views everywhere, which makes people forget the loneliness on the way while enjoying it. The difference in elevation between the upstream and downstream is about 15 meters, and it is connected by multiple waterfalls. In the slower downstream section, one or two waterfalls are set between every two bridges, near the steeper upstream section.
There are multiple waterfalls between the two bridges, forming a natural river landscape with both trickling water and small rapids. The waterfalls are all built with large stones. They are arranged at intervals. The surface of the large stones used for the waterfalls is flat, and the large stones are reinforced in the river channel with vertical wooden piles. By stepping on the large stones across the river, you can jump across the stream and jump to the other side.
A river that bears witness to the 500-year history of the Joseon Kingdom, a river that is seriously polluted by the mud and garbage covering the riverbed, dirty wooden sheds set up along the river, and sewage discharged from them, a river that flows in large quantities in the city center, causing the surrounding residents to suffer from the stench, and the overall image of the city has also been damaged.
The river disappeared after it was completely covered and built into an asphalt road, and shops were lined up on both sides to become a commercial center. In 2003, it was re-dug and restored after several years of renovation. It is the Cheonggyecheon Stream in Seoul, South Korea. The sixth stop is Gwanghwamun. Next to Cheonggyecheon Stream is Gwanghwamun Square.
Gwanghwamun is located at the end of the square. [Map of Gwanghwamun Square] The architectural style and arrangement are very similar to the Forbidden City in the capital, but of course the scale of the buildings is incomparable. [Gwanghwamun] [Statue of General Yi Sun-sin] [King Sejong, the inventor of Korean characters] [Flower beds on both sides of Gwanghwamun Square] The square is not very big.
But it was also shocking enough. The statues of General Yi Sun-sin, King Sejong and Gwanghwamun were arranged in a straight line. There were many flower beds on both sides of the square, with bright flowers and a fresh fragrance. The ground was really clean, very clean. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice that there is a long set of time chains on the right side of the square, and each year is followed by a set of Korean characters.
Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't understand what was being said, it should be the history of the country. The time chain was washed by a stream of clear water, as if washing away the imprint of history. Since Gwanghwamun was similar to the Forbidden City in the capital, it was the palace of the emperor and there were many people, Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't go in.
Just feel its history from the outside. Leave some space for phenomena. Those who enter Gwanghwamun can refer to the unmanned digital guide. The guards at the gate will perform a changing of guard ceremony at a certain time. Unfortunately, Yunluo and An Chuyu did not see it. Yunluo tells everyone the time of the handover ceremony of the palace gatekeepers with the picture above.
If you want to see it, you can go there at a certain time. [Little Knowledge] Gwanghwamun Gwanghwamun is the national gate of Korea. It is the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, the royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty, which was built in 1395 during the reign of King Taejo. Gwanghwamun was originally a wooden structure on a stone foundation. It is considered one of the greatest gate buildings in Korean history due to its exquisite craftsmanship, ingenious structure and magnificent appearance.
It is the first of the five palace gates in Korea. During the Japanese colonial period, Gwanghwamun was demolished and the Japanese colonists built the Japanese Governor's Office on the original site of Gwanghwamun. After Korea got rid of Japanese colonial rule, it rebuilt a reinforced concrete structure of Gwanghwamun and replaced the original Chinese plaque with a plaque of "Gwanghwamun" written in Korean by then South Korean President Park Chung-hee.
[Trivia] General Yi Sun-sin (Korean: , courtesy name Yeo-hae, alias Deoksu) was a native of Gaepung, Gyeonggi, Korea (now Kaesong, Korean Peninsula), a famous general during the Joseon Dynasty, who made great contributions to the resistance against the Japanese invasion.
During the Japanese invasion of Korea, Yi Sun-sin successfully blocked the invading Japanese army several times. Among them, the Battle of Myeongnyang was a famous battle in the history of world naval warfare where a small force defeated a large one. In addition, there were the Battle of Hansan Island and the Battle of Noryang. In 1598, Yi Sun-sin was killed in the Battle of Noryang and was hailed as a national hero by the Korean people after his death. His posthumous title was Chungmu.
After his death, he was awarded the title of Ling Yizheng. In 1604, the King of Joseon, Yi Sun, conferred him the title of "Xiaozhong, Zhangyi, Diyi, Jili, Xugong, and Xuanwu". [Trivia] King Sejong Yi Ye (Korean: ??;, also known as King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty (Korean: ?), with the courtesy name Wonjeong (Korean: ??). He was the fourth king of the Joseon Dynasty and reigned from 1418 to 1450.
A total of 32 years. During his reign, the social culture of Korea developed rapidly. During this period, Hangul was created ("In 1446, King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty officially announced the newly created characters, and the edict called it "Hunminjeongeum", and the official name was "Hangul" (an informal character). It means teaching the people the correct pronunciation of characters. After the invention of the new characters.
Sejong promoted the use of Hunminjeongeum in official documents and personal letters. He also made Hunminjeongeum a compulsory subject in the civil service examination for recruiting officials and engraved Hunminjeongeum on coins. ), Sejong is considered one of the most outstanding kings of the Joseon Dynasty by the Korean Peninsula countries and is therefore regarded by South Korea.
North Korea respectfully calls him "King Sejong". In 1450, Yi Yeol died and was first buried in the Xianling Mausoleum. In the first year of King Yeojong's reign, he was reburied in the Yeongling Mausoleum in Seongsan, Yeoju. His temple name was Sejong. The Ming Dynasty gave him the posthumous title "Jangheon". Korea added the posthumous title "Jangheon Yeong-yeong-yeong-woong-in-seong-myeong-hyo-daewang" (Korean:). Koreans call him King Sejong.
(Korean: ?se). The seventh stop is Bukchon Hanok Village. Hanok Village is a gathering place for traditional Korean architecture, just like the courtyard houses in Gyeongseong, and is a historical accumulation of national architecture. You must keep your voice down when visiting here, just like the Ewha Mural Village. This is also a residential area, and being too loud will affect the rest of the residents.
(It makes Yunluo and An Chuyu feel that Korean locals speak much louder than foreign tourists when visiting) [Bukchon Hanok Village Map Guide] The guide map marks the best photo spots for the eight scenic spots of Bukchon. You can visit based on this. The people walking around accidentally became a scenery for Yunluo and An Chuyu.
Traditional Korean architecture Streets in the middle of Hanok [Little knowledge] Bukchon Hanok Village There are many traditional Korean houses in Bukchon Hanok Village. "Bukchon" refers to the area between Gyeongbokgung Palace (one of the royal palaces in the Joseon Dynasty) and Changdeokgung Palace (one of the royal palaces in the Joseon Dynasty). In the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), the ruling class, the Yangban, mostly lived here.
Many traditional houses are left behind. Today's Bukchon is not a folk village built for tourists to see, but a village where people actually live, including more than 900 Hanok houses in 11 holes. With the arrival of Hanok galleries, traditional workshops, and Hanok restaurants, it has become a new cultural and artistic district that has attracted much attention.
Visitors here can also visit Korean traditional cultural museums such as the "Gahui Museum", "Han Sangsu Embroidery Museum", and "Korean Buddhist Art Museum". It is also well-known among foreign tourists. The last stop of the day, Myeongdong, is already in the afternoon and approaching evening. Eating barbecue in Korea is a must.
Yunluo and An Chuyu had dinner at 401 BBQ (Haha's BBQ restaurant) in Myeongdong. The meat was just grilled and the meat was already cut. The BBQ was delicious. You don't have to cut the meat yourself, the staff will do it for you. You don't have to do anything, just wait and eat. If you don't have enough side dishes, you can add Korean aluminum box lunch. It tastes good.
Remember to shake it before eating. Hahahahahaha The first day of fun is over. Take a rest and prepare to go on the second day. I still got up early and prepared for today's formation with full energy. The rampage day 3 has begun! ! The small Korean restaurant opened very late, and Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't want to eat bread or anything.
So we went straight to Myeongdong to eat ginseng chicken soup. The route was still to go out and walk to Sookmyung Women's University Station, and take the subway to Myeongdong Station. In Myeongdong, we looked for the famous "Baekje Ginseng Chicken Soup". It was very convenient to use the mobile navigation. The first stop was Myeongdong--Baekje Ginseng Chicken Soup. The store was not small. Yunluo and An Chuyu went in and found a seat by the window.
(This restaurant is either on the 2nd or 3rd floor, I forgot which one), Yunluo and An Chuyu ordered a white chicken ginseng soup and a black chicken ginseng soup. This is white chicken ginseng soup, and the white chicken is much more delicious than the black chicken. The chicken is very small, but it is more than enough for a girl. There is sticky rice and ginseng (a whole small ginseng) in the chicken's stomach.
Red dates. Chestnuts; there are a lot of ginseng roots on the chicken, which is absolutely a great tonic. I couldn't stand it after taking a bite of ginseng, so I gave up and ate it all. Yunluo's friend was awesome, he actually ate all the ginseng. You can't eat without kimchi in Korea, radish kimchi, garlic kimchi and spicy cabbage kimchi.
The small cup on the far right is ginseng wine. When it was first served, Yunluo and An Chuyu thought it was tea. But they felt it was not, and after taking a sip, they found it was ginseng wine. Yunluo didn't finish the ginseng he gave to others, so he only drank half of the cup. After eating and drinking at the second stop, Namsan Cable Car, Yunluo and An Chuyu were about to start their crazy walk around Seoul.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
I had already downloaded the GPS map of how to get there when I was eating, and I was ready to go. I found out from the navigation that Namsan Cable Car is very close to Myeongdong. If you take the subway, exit Myeongdong Subway Exit 5 and walk up Songpa-ro. In less than 10 minutes, you can see the elevator of Namsan Cable Car.
Just wait for the elevator to take you to the cable car queue, or climb the stairs next to the elevator to the cable car queue, buy tickets, queue up, and wait to get on the cable car. There are still many people in the queue, mostly locals, and An Chuyu is with her children. Since Yunluo and An Chuyu bought the tickets and sent them to them when they planned to travel.
So Yunluo and Anchu went to line up when they met. A cable car can hold about 20 people. There are handrails in the cable car. Due to the large number of people, it is a bit shaky during the journey, so it is better to hold on. After getting off the cable car and walking up the stairs, we arrived at the next destination - Seoul Tower. The third stop is Seoul Tower.
I found the environment here is great. The green trees and red flowers make people feel comfortable. The students of the school seem to be on an outing. Groups of students in school uniforms sit on the stairs to take photos and rest. Tourists must be holding cameras and mobile phones. Selfie artifacts keep taking pictures. Seoul Tower is really high, and it deserves to be able to see the whole scenery of Seoul.
Of course, Yunluo and An Chuyu also took a photo here with a selfie stick. When you enter the Seoul Tower, before taking the elevator, a staff member will take a photo for you. When you reach the observation deck at the top of the tower, you will see a counter where you can choose the background of your photo. Since Yunluo and An Chuyu went there during the day, Yunluo and An Chuyu chose the night view of the Seoul Tower for the photo.
After you have chosen and paid the money (of course, you have to buy the photo. If you don't want it, just tell them you don't want it. But Yunluo thinks it's a good souvenir. It's not expensive anyway.), the staff will pack it for you. Seoul is 951.m away from the capital. You need to put coins in the telescope. I think it's 100 won.
The postcard I wrote to myself in Seoul Tower (you also need to buy it, postcard + stamp). It has been sent to me intact, although I waited for half a month. I always take a photo with this hollow heart when I come here. In order to protect it, a cordon is set up. The lock symbolizing love is also the most famous attraction here.
The fences on all sides are hung with all kinds of locks with different languages written on them. Since Yunluo and I are both single, we didn't join in the fun. We can go there later. The fourth stop, Trickeye Museum, is in the Hongdae neighborhood. Just walk forward from Exit 9 of the Hongdae subway station. There are a lot of young people and students in Hongdae.
There are many delicious foods, small accessories, clothes, shoes and cosmetics to shop for, and of course the prices are not expensive. Tickets for the art museum and ice museum The fifth stop, ice museum, is right next to the entrance of the 3D art museum, all underground. The temperature inside is minus 2 to 3 degrees Celsius, and there is a temperature display at the entrance.
Yunluo went in wearing a skirt. Oh my god, it was cold. I took a quick look and came out. It was too cold. The sixth stop was the ** Museum. After visiting these two places, I went to the upper floor (still underground). There was the ** Museum. So embarrassing. The ticket for the 3D Art Museum can be cheaper.
I remember it was 6000 won. I took a photo with the sexy girl at the door. There were a lot of things inside, big breasts, pornographic pictures, 3D art, etc. I just visited it and didn't take too many photos. Because there were a lot of people taking photos inside. Hahahaha, this is in Hongdae, it tastes good.
Yunluo and An Chuyu ordered grapefruit and lemon. The seventh stop was 63 Building. After visiting Hongdae, Yunluo and An Chuyu were going to take a boat trip on the Han River at Yeouido Pier at around 7 o'clock, so they immediately took the subway to Yeouido. Yunluo and An Chuyu bought the big3a package ticket, so they could have a good look around the 63 Building.
There is an aquarium, wax museum, and top-floor observatory. The Sky Art Gallery and Observation Deck of the 63 Building overlook the Han River. Oh, and there is also a piece of transparent tempered glass, just like the one in the new CCTV site. After leaving the 63 Building, Yunluo and An Chuyu rested on the stairs by the Han River, feeling the breeze and feeling very comfortable.
If you haven't had fried chicken in Korea, why not act fast? I bought fried chicken in a small shop by the river. It should be best with beer, but time was a bit tight, so I changed to coffee and iced tea. Not to mention, the fried chicken was crispy and not greasy, and the taste was just right. A whole chicken was also served with sweet radish cubes and sauce. (To be continued...)
