Korea Travel Guide:
1.Exchange Successful Strategy:
(1) According to the relevant provisions of the Customs and Excise Department on entering and leaving the country, each person can carry 20,000 yuan and 5,000 U.S. dollars out of the country. Violators will be liable for -. However, there are not many things to buy in Korea. If the gift plan is not much, it is recommended to bring 5,000 yuan in cash.
(2) Exchange rate reference: 1 RMB = about 110-120 won. Generally things in Korea are measured in 1,000 won, which is 7 yuan. USD and KRW are accepted in Korea, and some places will accept RMB, but rarely. If you have dollars, its best to spend them. The only way to travel to the Korean countryside and want to bring cash is to swipe your card in town.
2. Basic price strategy:
(1) Taxi fare ordinary cab 1900 won for the first kilometer, 200 won every 300 meters, premium cab 6000 won for the first kilometer, 400 won every 300 meters. To be clear, the price difference is double. Mineral water is 500 won (the cheapest) and drinks are around 1,000 won. It is not uncommon for it to eat 20,000 to 30,000 won per meal. About 5,000 pieces of pork, more than 10,000 pieces of beef, about 35,000 bags of rice (40 kilograms), about 10,000 pieces of clothing (t-shirts), about 9,000 pieces of rope.
(2) Cosmetics are still cheap. A set of 20,000 yuan can buy some basic care, low to mid-range quality is OK. Cigarettes (all 2,500 won, $17 each at duty free). Don't expect to eat too well in Korea, where prices are 5-10 times higher than in China.
3. Communication strategy: in South Korea, international roaming can only use CDMA (133), all other cell phones can not be used. Congratulations to Unicom here has a loyal fan. If you have a companion traveling with you, you might want to consider getting a pair of walkie-talkies from the just-launched MOTOFV208. They're small, cute, and affordable for couples or friends traveling together, and you don't you don't have to worry about cell phones.4. Hotel Strategies:
(1) Korean hotels are clean, but expensive. A typical motel should be in the range of 20-30 thousand. Here this is a very important thing to remind. There are no hotels in Korea that don't want disposables such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, slippers, combs, bottled body wash, bottled shampoo, etc. It seems like it's for the sake of the environment. Itit' best to bring these things yourself and. It's cleaner to use your own.
(2) Be careful about charging in Korea. Korea's voltage is 220V, and the plug is a 2-eye round plug, which is a bit different from the domestic socket. Bring a converter, or the electronics will go on strike.
5. Shopping strategy:
(1) Myeongdong is Seoul's shopping paradise. Myeongdong Street is a street about 1km long from Myeongdong Station on Subway Line 4 to Branch B and Lotte Department Store, where various brand name stores, department stores, and bonded stores are crowded together. It is known as a fashion center where you can buy a variety of fashionable trend-setting clothes, shoes, hats, accessories, and more. It is characterized by the concentration of many high-quality brand products. Myeongdong-gil has Lotte Department Store, Shinsegae Department Store, U2Zone Shopping Center, Myelio Shopping Center, and AbaTar Shopping Center.
(2) At department stores, you can mainly buy high-class goods, while at bonded shopping centers such as Myelio Mall and AbaTar Mall, you can buy fashionable goods at low prices. There are also a variety of brand name stores clustered on Central Avenue and the hutongs on either side.
(3) If you go to a big supermarket like Lotte Mart, don't forget to prepare shopping bags for yourself or ask them for a paper box to take back. The North Korean people s environmental protection spirit is not bad.6. Dietary Strategies:
The Korean American diet is very different from the Chinese one. Korean food is based on kimchi and barbecue, and the dishes are very oily and may not be to your taste. It it' best to prepare some convenience foods, but remember to check for liquids and powders when crossing the border. Don Idon't want to get red and spicy in Korea. The Korean food you usually eat at home is already distinctive and uses good ingredients. You can buy some Korean snacks like seaweed, bibimbap, Lotte chocolate.

6. Korea Travel Guide
It's only been a few days. Why is the epidemic moving so fast in Korea?
These days, the news that South Korea is anxious and South Korea is miserable is being constantly screened in the circle of friends.
As of the afternoon of the 24th, South Korea confirmed 833 cases of new coronary pneumonia, seven people died.
No one expected the epidemic to develop so quickly in South Korea. The number of infections has surged in just a few days.
1,
In fact, until Feb. 20, cases of new crown pneumonia in South Korea were stable.
No one expected a sudden surge in the number of confirmed cases on Feb. 20, reaching 53 in one day.
In Daegu alone, there were 51 new cases in one day. An investigation found that many of the confirmed cases were linked to the Daegu church called New Heaven and Earth.
Many people say the Xintiandi church is the birthplace of this massive outbreak in South Korea.
One woman attending a service is suspected to be a super-spreader.
She attended four prayers in February, and more than 1,000 people joined her.
So far, she has infected at least 37 people with the new coronavirus, with dozens more showing symptoms.
What's even more worrying for South Koreans is that a supervisor in charge of the prevention and control of the neocoronavirus outbreak in Daegu's Seo-gu district has been confirmed to have been infected with neocoronavirus, and he's a follower of the New Heaven and Earth Church.
When the news broke, the 50 employees working with him at the medical center had to immediately quarantine themselves.
Unfortunately, the outbreak was very much spreading in South Korea because of the lack of response in the early stages.
The diagnosis was confirmed by a staff member at a Daegu daycare center, and a 4-year-old child later tested positive.
As of now, the youngest confirmed patient is only 16 months old.
In Gyeongsangbuk-do, which neighbors Daegu, a serious cluster of infections occurred in the psychiatric department of a hospital, where 99 of 102 people were diagnosed.
Besides areas with severe outbreaks, citizens in many other areas are lying in wait.
In Seoul, South Korea's capital, the host of a program takes action.
On the 23rd, the host of South Korea's JTBC was admitted to the hospital with a low-grade fever, and the news program she was involved in taping, "Daybreak," was called off in an emergency.
Because TV workers have a wide range of activities and contact with many people, all members of the "Morning" crew were isolated from themselves.
The U.S. Department of Defense in South Korea also said that as of the 24th, 11 U.S. troops in South Korea*** had been diagnosed with neocoronavirus pneumonia, and that as many as 7,000 people in the military had been quarantined.
Clearly, a hard-fought battle between South Korea and New Crown Pneumonia has begun.
To prevent the spread of the epidemic, all meeting places in Daegu, the worst-hit city, were closed.
Many citizens are also consciously responding to the call to stay away as much as possible and equipping themselves with protective measures, including through online shopping, out of concern for the new crown pneumonia.
The streets of Daegu, South Korea's fourth-largest city with a population of 2.5 million, are now cold.
After the outbreak, everyone is hoping it will be contained soon.
Staying home with nothing to do has become the best precaution for ordinary citizens.
2.
Wonderful is wonderful. Most people s
On Feb. 22, a large number of people in Seoul, South Korea, defied an official ban and held a march and rally every Saturday as scheduled.
During the march, some people sat on the floor without masks and sang the North Korean national anthem at the top of their lungs.
Some don't they didn't bring food with them, so they went to the public **** food supply department to eat food.
There were even people with children, families sitting on mats without protection, following the crowd.
It's hard to imagine what would have happened if one person in such a dense crowd had been infected.
Seeing such a weak sense of public safety, Seoul's mayor was so outraged that he rushed to the scene to advise rally participants to end the rally immediately and leave the site for their own safety and that of others.
I thought the mayor's U.S. presence would at least calm the chaotic scene.
To my surprise, the well-intentioned advice was met with on-the-spot protests and abuse.
No one attending the rally didn't don't take the mayor's words at all to Shahou_ seriously.
Instead, they listened to their organizer, Quan Guangxun.
The organizers said in public that there was no risk of contracting the new coronavirus outdoors, hallelujah.
Many say these people are on their way to death.
Many of them held signs banning Chinese from entering the country, along with others, protesting the Moon Jae-in government. U.S. response to the new Crown pneumonia outbreak.
Seemingly urging the government to take immediate steps to curb the outbreak, they were completely ignored. Gathering crowds at a time like this not only doesn't stop the spread of the virus, it gives it a chance to invade.
Nakedly in defense of the epidemic.
It's no wonder that under social media, many blamed the congregants, calling them stupid, selfish and angry about their behavior!
What s even more worrisome is the large number of people lining up to buy the masks after South Korea's health ministry partnered with local supermarkets to distribute them to areas hit by the outbreak.
The crowds came early in the morning, and by the time the store officially opened, the line was several hundred meters long.
A South Korean uncle said he immediately called his entire family as soon as he heard there was a limit of 30 masks for one person.
Looking at the crowded scene, many people were worried about what to do in case of cross infection!
3.
It's important to realize that South Korea is a small country with a high population density.
For example, the land area (about 100,000 square kilometers) and population (51.64 million as of 2006) of the United States of Korea are very similar to that of China's Zhejiang Province (105,500 square kilometers and 57.37 million people).
Map of South Korea
Over 25 million of South Korea's 51 million people are concentrated in the Seoul metropolitan area.
That means nearly half of the population lives in 12 percent of the country, a fairly high population density.
To prevent the spread of the outbreak, South Korean President Moon Jae-in said the alert level for the new pneumonia outbreak has reached the highest level of seriousness from a previous alert, and that the Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do regions have been designated as special control areas.

However, frustratingly for local authorities, many congregants infected with the new coronavirus reportedly did not report their information in the first place. Instead, they hid and went around spreading the neocoronavirus religion in the name of evangelism.
To this end, the Korean Embassy also urgently reminded Korean citizens in China to avoid going to crowded areas or special control zones, and to protect themselves by wearing masks and washing their hands frequently when going out.

Looking at our neighbors, who are now suffering from the epidemic, we are both sad and helpless.
Remember when the new coronary pneumonia spread in China, many Koreans were rooting for China.
Supporting China during South Korea's fight against the epidemic, Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon was quick to record a video cheering for Wuhan. It also provided 600 million won (about 3.53 million yuan) in aid to 12 Chinese cities, including Beijing and Chongqing.
Since Feb. 15, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has been rolling a short Seoul video U.S. in support of China's fight against the new coronary pneumonia outbreak in crowded public ****ing buildings and subway stations.
On the evening of Feb. 17, South Korea's tallest skyscraper, the Lotte World Tower, carried the subtitle Go Wuhan to support China's fight against the Xenococcal Pneumonia epidemic.
Kenkuk University, the dean of the Korean Academy of Arts and Letters, sent an e-mail to Chinese students at the academy encouraging them and telling them that we should work together to weather the storm.
The South Korean embassy in Beijing also hung banners to cheer China.
Now that the number of confirmed cases in South Korea is growing by the day, I can only hope that the South Korean government will take faster measures and that the South Korean people will become more aware of the need for precautions.
Because only when everyone joins hands can the epidemic be brought under control and we can return to normal life sooner.
It is still in the peak stage of the epidemic, so I hope that people will not take it lightly, do not pile on, and do not take it lightly, but take precautions.
Also, I hope South Koreans can get through this!
