Please consult your visa in detail. It is easy for me to apply for a 5-year visa. I submitted the original passport, original ID card, copy of household registration, real estate, in-service certificate, and business license. The visa will be released in about 5 days. I went to Beijing for a visa to sign on behalf of the International Tourism Agency. Like China, South Korea also has three major operators, namely SK, KTF and LG U+. The entire city of Seoul has full coverage of 5G, but under the conditions of tariffs and current domestic roaming protocols and terminal equipment, 4G is still the choice of most people. We provide you with two cost-effective solutions.
a, Wanyoubao , one Wanyoubao can drive 3 to 5 devices to access the Internet and pick it up at the airport. South Korea is 50 yuan for 5 days, no speed reduction and no traffic limit. I rented it on Qunar.com last time. It is very easy to use, small in shape, and has its own translation function. It is no problem to carry it with you for a full charge for a day. There should be also platforms such as Ctrip, Mafengwo, Fliggy, and others. You can make an appointment online before traveling.
b, 100-point connection, a dedicated SIM card for Internet access abroad, no longer has to buy SIM cards everywhere, it is suitable for dual-stop mobile phones. It can answer calls from domestic mobile phone numbers for free, which is universally available. 300MB*5 days is 45 yuan (you can also pre-sale discounts). The speed limit is exceeded. There are also 500MB and 1G packages.
C, socket, power supply
European standard (German standard), that kind of double round head.
D, cash
can basically swipe cards in all places, play in a night market, etc., at most 20,000 won (about RMB 120) to hold. You can redeemed in advance in China or withdraw cash from local ATMs. If you swipe your card, Visa and Mastercard will be unblocked. Most of them can swipe UnionPay. Some supermarkets can , Alipay and , and a few supermarkets can also pay by WeChat. Duty-free shops, Korean cosmetics stores and other specialty stores are fully supported by Alipay and WeChat Pay.
The last time I traveled for 5 days, I changed two people to RMB 3,000. Other consumptions were all swiping cards or Alipay or WeChat.
E, language
1, free time to travel alone, you can download the translation copy, "Youdao Translator" test is very simple and easy to use. In Korea, simple English + translation software + map can basically ensure a pleasant trip.
2, often visited , Myeongdong , Dongdaemun and other places, just take the subway to read Chinese characters, including taking the bus, where to take and how to get off the bus, you must prepare in advance, download the map of Hanyou.com, you can locate it, view the real scene in Seoul, and see how to get off the bus and walk at a glance.
3. If you are in Myeongdong or duty-free shops, ordinary clerks can speak Chinese, so there is no problem in communicating; if the clerks can’t speak Chinese, if there are any helpers, use body language, or prepare in advance, and write down what you often say in shopping to facilitate bargaining. 4. In terms of eating, there is basically no need to talk. Just order food by looking at the menu and ordering
F, and duty-free shops.
duty-free shops are divided into two types: one is the airport duty-free shop and the other is the urban duty-free shop. In the city, I recommend these ones I have been to: Lotte Duty Free Myeongdong Main Store (located at Exit 7/8 of Euroji Road Metro Station), Hanji New World Duty Free (located at Exit 5 of Myeongdong Metro Station), Donghe Duty Free (located at 149, Sejong Road, , Jongno District, Gwanghwamun Building B1F-3F). Incheon Airport : It is the largest airport in South Korea, and the duty-free shops are also very large in scale, bringing together many duty-free shops such as Lotte and Silla, in South Korea.
1. What documents do you need to show when shopping in a duty-free shop?
passport (copy is also possible) and air tickets (e-ticket itinerary is also possible) are required.
passport is used to confirm individual identity, while air tickets are used to determine the time for pickup at the airport. If you can remember the flight departure location, departure time, airline and flight number, you can do without showing your ticket.
2. How to pick up items after buying them in online duty-free shops such as Lotte and Silla?
When shopping online, you need to provide passport and air ticket information. After the shopping is completed, you need to print an exchange voucher, then take your passport ticket, and then go to the designated place to collect it after passing the customs security check.
The collection locations of each airport are different. If you are at Incheon Airport, Silla is on the security checking tower of the East Terminal 2 and on the security checking tower of the West Terminal 3. You can collect the elevator in front of the elevator to the right gate 121. There are 3 locations in total; Lotte is next to the gate 121, and one opposite to the gate 26 and 28 of the terminals.

Luxury black taxis are also called model taxis. Its characteristic is that drivers can provide foreign language services. The basic cost is 5,000 won, which is more expensive than ordinary taxis. Pay attention to this when riding.
When you want to take a taxi, just wave to the side of the road. If you see a red light sign with “빈차” (empty car) in the glass in front of the driver’s position, it means you can ride, and the light sign will light up at night. If you see a blue light sign saying "예약" (Appointment), it means you cannot ride it.
2. Be sure to use "letters" to express the destination
. When telling the driver the destination, you can present a card for a map, store or hotel and make sure that the destination is marked with Korean letters. Due to the increasing number of hotels in recent years, drivers may not recognize new hotels. At this time, it is best to call the hotel directly and ask the staff to explain the location of the hotel to the driver.
3. Payment method should be notified in advance
to take a taxi in South Korea. In addition to cash, you can also use a credit card or a prepaid transportation card "T-money card" to pay the fee. If you are not familiar with Korean coins and banknotes, it is recommended to pay with a card. In order to avoid rare situations such as machine failure, it is recommended to confirm with the driver before getting on the bus. Since many Koreans use cards to pay, there are many cases where drivers do not have change, so it will be more convenient to prepare small banknotes such as 1,000 and 5,000 in advance.
H, transportation
a, large transportation, there are many domestic flights to Seoul, South Korea, and many low-cost flights. The main reminder is that Seoul has two airports, Incheon Airport and Gimpo Airport , don’t run the wrong way.Incheon Airport is mainly international flights;
b, airport transportation
1, airport subway, Incheon Airport to Seoul Station, the most convenient and fastest is the airport subway, which is 43 minutes to get to the train and 59 minutes to get to the train. Direct trains are 9000 Korean won (about RMB 54), and the average train is charged according to the mileage. 2. Airport buses can directly reach several of the most prosperous neighborhoods in Seoul, such as Myeongdong, Hongda, Apgujeong, etc. It takes about 30 to 90 minutes, and depending on the fare price of 9,000 to 15,000 won, late-night buses will charge an additional surcharge. 3. Take a taxi. I made an international taxi from the airport to a hotel near Seoul Station. It costs 80,000 won (about 477 yuan). On the last day, I made a regular taxi from Seoul Station to the airport. 54,870 won (about 329 yuan RMB) for reference.
