The most eye-catching thing is the third floor of the Descendants of the Sun. The Korean Wave Museum not only sells various props and souvenirs in the play, but also restores the scenes in the play to the greatest extent, allowing tourists to take photos in Kang Muyan room, Uruk Church and mobile hospital.
At the beginning of its opening, Oppa also went to take a photo with his human-shaped stand
Korean New World Duty Free Shop Myeongdong Store Exterior View
Korean New World Duty Free Shop Myeongdong Store is also a newly opened duty-free shop in 2016, so there are many opportunities to exchange for cash points and coupons, and the purchase price is low; it is located on the 8th to 12th floors of the New World Department Store in Myeongdong, the largest center of the Republic of Korea. It has rich products and a complete brand. The department store + duty-free shop model allows customers to kill two birds with one stone; when the new store opens, the shopping environment is naturally unspeakable, mainly because there are relatively few people, and the shopping guide is more patient.
has a complete brand and few tourists are the biggest advantage
At the same time, the spokesperson of this duty-free shop is G-Dragon , which even celebrities love. If you buy anything, you can get a limited shopping bag or folder and other celebrity surroundings. Fans are not going!

or more duty-free shops. When shopping online, there are: disadvantages , which are prone to inadequate inventory of popular products; and advantages , which are fewer people picking up consignments at the airport and basically do not have to queue up. Everyone can weigh the trade-offs!
Recommended 2: Shilla Duty Free Shop and Lotte Duty Free Shop
Shilla Duty Free Shop Seoul store is crowded
Shilla Duty Free Shop's most considerate thing is that it can reimburse taxi fares for visitors, and present taxi tickets up to 20,000 won coupons, and there are very coupons that can be used in combination, and there are many buying and free activities.
Korean brand cosmetics are very popular
Sila Duty Free Shop Seoul Store, Shilla Aiboke Duty Free Shop and Shilla Incheon Airport store. The prices are the same. There are too many people in Seoul stores, there are many tour groups, and there are many free travelers. Even there are many people sitting in the top-floor cafe and open-air park to rest; Shilla Aiboke Duty Free Shop has a large place and few customers, so it is easy to buy out of stock. It is close to Yongsan Aiboke Shopping Mall, and there are emart underground to meet your various shopping needs. Shopping at Incheon Airport stores is not subject to luggage weight limit, because it is after check-in and security check, it is stress-free to carry the plane directly onto the plane.
Sila Aibaoke Duty Free Shop is very quiet
Lotte Duty Free Shop Brand Multiple PeopleMore
Lotte Duty Free Shop has a complete brand and looks a lot, but hot products are very easy to be out of stock, mainly because there are too many Chinese people and the purchasing power is too strong. If you want to visit, it is highly recommended to go there when you open the door in the morning. It will be relatively quiet and you can still choose carefully. The entrance of the
duty-free shop is located at Star Avenue between " Lotte Department Store " and "Lotte Hotel". There are also celebrity handprints printed in front of the elevator. Fans who come to take photos are endless every day, which is also a scene in Korea.
Shopping at the above two online duty-free shops. Incheon International Airport when picking up goods, Lotte has the most people, but there are also many pickup ports; Silla is relatively fewer people queuing up, but there are also fewer pickup ports, so the pickup speed is almost the same, and Silla is slightly faster.
Recommended 3: Donghe Duty Free Shop
Donghe Duty Free Shop is the oldest duty-free shop in South Korea
Donghe Duty Free Shop is the oldest duty-free shop in Smithda. It is located in a good location and is very close to the statue of " Sejong King ", Deshou Palace and Gyeongbokgung . After visiting the attractions, you will not waste time on the way. You can plan for a day, so I don’t recommend it if you go there for a special trip.
The only drawback is that the mall is poorly laid out, the scale is small, and the rest is not enough. When we went there, it was raining, and we had to queue up when we came in, which was too congested. This is a must-visit place for group tours, so it is inevitable to be messy; the most important thing is that the coupons are not affordable enough.
