As early as one or two months before the National Day holiday, my mother around me began to worry: Where can I go for a 7-day holiday?
Domestic travel? Too crowded! Abroad travel? Too tired! Home? Too annoying!
I don’t want to be tired, I don’t want to be expensive, I want children to be happy, and I want adults to be comfortable. In fact, I really have one recommendation, that is - Seoul.
First of all, save time. It took less than 2 hours to fly to Seoul in Beijing, which is more time-saving than to go to China International Trade Center during the morning rush hour.
Secondly, cheap. The air tickets from Beijing to Seoul are stable at around 1,600 yuan all year round. Even during the National Day holiday, bookings for two months are basically 2,500 yuan, which is much cheaper than flying to many cities in China.
Finally, save trouble. Although Seoul is not big, it is definitely enough to make children have fun. At the same time, as a well-known shopping destination, Seoul definitely allows old mothers to buy happily and happily, killing two birds with one stone.
Based on my experience of taking Mili to Seoul many times, I have compiled a nanny-level parent-child tour guide for everyone. They are all perfect itineraries I have personally experienced and compared. I will just copy itinerary.
Before the journey guide
1, passport + visa
0 Passport, please follow the requirements of the local immigration and exit administration bureau.
visa universal Taobao solution. Beijing City Six Districts can basically obtain a single or five-year visa as long as they provide a household registration book and ID card.
2, air ticket
, please copy my homework directly.
Departure: CA123 Beijing - Incheon, Seoul 8:30 Departure
Return: CA126 Incheon, Seoul - Incheon, Beijing 17:50 Departure
Departure early and come back late, maximize the time to play. Moreover, the ticket price is stable, and the ticket booking is basically about 1,600 yuan.
3, Accommodation
I have been to Seoul many times. I have lived in popular areas such as Myeongdong, Dongdaemun, and Gangnam-gu, but the one I recommend most is to live around the city hall.
First of all, it is very close to the core attractions. You can reach Myeongdong by 5 minutes' walk, you can reach famous attractions such as Gyeongbok Palace, Bukit-ya Korean, and Sanqingdong by 10-15 minutes' walk, and you can reach Seoul Tower by taking a taxi within 50 RMB.
Secondly, the surrounding area of the city hall is quiet and not noisy, the cultural atmosphere is good, and it is very convenient to eat and drink.
I have stayed in two very good hotels.
The first is the Westin North Korea Hotel in Seoul, five-star, priced at RMB 1,000+, next to the hotel is Lotte Department Store and Lotte Duty Free Shop, which is a 3-minute walk to Myeongdong. The rooms are large and clean, suitable for families with their children.
The second one, Grassley Seoul Hotel, three-star, priced at RMB 500+, the airport bus stops directly at the hotel entrance, and a 5-minute walk to Myeongdong. The room is small, but it is very clean and has a high cost performance.
4, exchange money
Many people like to exchange local currency before going abroad. In fact, Mi Li's mother recommends the most economical and simple way to exchange money for everyone.
After arriving abroad, use a bank card to withdraw cash directly on the local ATM with UnionPay logo. The exchange rate is definitely suitable than changing it in China, and it also saves time to queue up at the bank.
At the same time, foreign ATMs also provide a variety of denominations to choose from, which is very convenient.
In addition, mobile payment in South Korea is not as common as in China. In addition to convenience stores and large shopping malls, transportation, catering and various small stores only collect cash, so it is important to exchange for more small banknotes.
All preparations are done, and the next step is to set off!
Mi Li Mom’s trip to bring Mi Li for four days and three nights is arranged in this way, and everyone can adjust it according to their needs.
DAY1: Beijing - Seoul
Seoul local time at 11:30 and took the airport bus to the hotel to check in. After check-in, I highly recommend walking to Princess Myeongdong for lunch.
This barbecue restaurant is very famous in South Korea and is also the most well-known internet celebrity store among domestic tourists. His seasoned steak must be eaten. The meat is tender and delicious, and it is definitely beyond the N streets of other barbecue restaurants.
(Princess’s Barbecue~)
Let’s say that, Mi Li and I have Mi Li, three of us, and I ordered four servings of seasoned steak alone. It’s really delicious.
You can take a taxi after lunch Itaewon. Itaewon's line friends flagship store has three floors, ranging from various stationery, snacks, clothing, accessories to beauty makeup.
(The cute little bear in line friends is reading picture books~)
Here you can buy a lot of cute gadgets for children. I bought a super cute headband and a couple's phone case with Mi Li dad, hehe.
The second floor specially arranged several large cute scenes for taking photos. As soon as I went upstairs, I screamed and posed for various photos with Mili.
The third floor is a cafe with drinks and snacks. You can sit by the bed while drinking something while enjoying the scenery outside the window. There is an ice cream exclusive to the line here. Mi Li really likes it. After eating two ice cream, she doesn’t want to leave.
If you have enough time, you can take a taxi to visit near Earhua Women's University, which are many small shops and restaurants around.
school also has a very good feeling, and the girls are super pleasing to the eye.
Before the sunset, you can rush to Seoul Tower to watch the sunset + night view.
There are many affordable viewing restaurants on the fifth floor. The restaurants basically only offer simple meals, including pasta, rice, Western food, hamburgers, etc. See which viewing location is better, just choose one.
Of course, the rich can directly choose N Grill, the highest-quality restaurant in Seoul Tower. It is the place where Do Minjun and Chih Song-yi date in "You From the Stars". It is definitely one of the most beautiful and romantic places to enjoy the night view of Seoul, with an average of about 900 yuan.
After seeing the night view, there is a bus directly to Myeongdong, Seoul Tower. There are many kinds of drug stores, beauty stores and clothing stores in Myeongdong, and there are high, medium and low-end prices, which is enough for mothers to buy.
At the same time, there are various open-air snack stalls on Myeongdong Street, which can be eaten and strolled, which is very comfortable.
In Mingdong, there is another thing that I have to mention is to play random shows. Everyone must draw a night to watch it. It doesn’t matter if they don’t understand Korean, they can understand it completely.
is really wonderful, with laughter everywhere. After finishing the day of tired itinerary, I sat there and watched the show that I had been watching for dozens of minutes. It is a real enjoyment~ Highly recommended!
DAY2: Seoul
Day 2, I recommend you a day trip around Gyeongbokgung Palace, including Gyeongbokgung Hanok, Sanqingdong, and New World Department Store.
Gyeongbokgung Palace Korean server experience.
Take a taxi to Gyeongbokgung Palace early in the morning. There are various Korean service experience stores on both sides of the street next to Gyeongbokgung Palace. I personally recommend cloud Korean service rental, the price is around 160 yuan.
(cloud Korean server rental store~)
There are many Korean server styles in his house, but the most important thing is that they are very new and very clean. I recommend parents and children to experience it once.
PS: Free tickets to enter Gyeongbok Palace in Korean clothes.
The status of Gyeongbokgung Palace in South Korea is equivalent to the status of the Forbidden City in our country. Although Gyeongbokgung Palace is not as magnificent as the Forbidden City, it is quite good to take photos.
After entering Jingfu Palace, you can walk directly inside and do not stay at the door. The palace inside is more effective.
In addition to taking beautiful photos for me, Mi Li's father also gave Mi Li a picture of the history of South Korea.
After leaving Gyeongbokgung Palace, you can walk directly to Bukchung Hanok for about 5 minutes. Bukchon Hanok is a traditional Korean house, which is relatively classical and is also very beautiful to take photos here.
(Baiwu Han Village)
However, there are residents living here every day, so you should whisper a little while taking photos.
After visiting the Korean hanok, you can return the Korean server first and then have lunch. For lunch, you highly recommend Tusu Village Ginseng Chicken Soup, just in the alley about 5 minutes walk from Jingfu Palace.
Although this store is very large, it is so famous, so you must go early, otherwise you will be in line until you collapse. Trust me, it's already very, very delicious if you order the cheapest one.
(Tusu Village Ginseng Chicken Soup Menu)
After lunch, you can visit Sanqing Cave, known as the "most literary and artistic street in Korea".
Here are mainly some petty and literary cafes, each one is quite distinctive and can take many beautiful photos. You can also choose a family you like and sit down and enjoy the afternoon tea time for the whole family.
(Sanqingdong street shop~)
In addition, several well-known art galleries in South Korea are on the way to Sanqingdong. Friends who like to visit art galleries must not miss it.
If time is limited and it is not time for every art gallery to visit, then I recommend everyone to go to the National Modern Art Museum.
The National Museum of Modern Art mainly exhibits contemporary art works. Although there will be different exhibitions in different periods, overall, they are more suitable for young people and children to visit, and are not obscure or boring at all.
The art gallery itself is also beautiful, with many art installations inside and outside, and the artistic atmosphere is very strong.
You can go to New World Department Store to go shopping after dinner. Compared to Myeongdong, I personally prefer New World Department Store.
Before you officially visit, go to the member center on the 12th floor to apply for a card. If you show Alipay, you can basically get a 15% discount card, which can be used in a duty-free shop on the 8-12th floor.
1-7 is a department store center, with international brands such as LV, Hermes, Chanel, GUCCI, etc., and most popular domestic out of stock can be purchased here.
However, due to the exchange rate, the price does not have much advantage compared to China. The domestic package of about 20,000 yuan can be obtained here about 18,000 yuan. If you really like it, buy it. If you don’t like it too much, you can tolerate it.
If your father and children don’t want to visit the mall, you can also go directly to the Municipal Square next to New World Department Store to watch fountain performances and lighting performances.
DAY3: Seoul
Day 3, I recommend everyone to go to the happy world of Lotte.
Lotte World is a world-class theme park. Although the scale cannot be compared with Disney and Universal Studios, it is composed of indoor parks and outdoor parks, which is enough for the whole family to spend the whole day.
0 Tickets must be remembered to solve the problem first. Buying on site will be much more expensive.
Mi Li and I both like Lotte World very much. First of all, it is very romantic, exquisite, and beautiful, especially childish and girlish. I want to scream as soon as I come in.
Secondly, there are many projects here that children can play with, and it feels really good to swipe projects together for the whole family.
htmlBabys over 03 years old can already play many projects, including magic car, strange funnel, children's bumper cars, smart pirate ships, etc.Big kids like Mi Li can basically brush 80% of the items.
specially recommends hot air balloon flight, world monorail, high-altitude swing, and carousel. Adults and children are very happy.
In addition, the float parade here is also very good, so you must watch it.
Moms remember to dress beautifully when they come here, because every corner of the paradise really looks good when taking photos.
We played in Lotte World all day, and until it was dark, Mi Li didn't want to leave. After finally being persuaded to leave, we still reluctantly said, "Mom, let's come here to play next time."
DAY4: Seoul - Beijing
After getting up in the morning, you can go to the Lihuadong Mural Village for a walk.
This place was originally a dilapidated village halfway up the mountain. Later, the government invited many artists to paint various murals here, and the village became a literary and fresh holy place that always appears in major Korean dramas.
(Moms can wear beautiful skirts to take photos here)
In addition, this is actually a good place to overlook the city view of Seoul, very quiet and open.
(Lipaihua Village overlooking Seoul)
After viewing the Lihuadong Mural Village, you can leave for the airport after lunch. I also encountered a royal outing at the airport, and it was full of events. We should also learn how to show our traditional culture well!
Airport duty-free shop is the main battlefield for buying and buying. The Shilla Duty Free Shop has many large stores in the T1 terminal of Seoul.
Before purchasing, you can show your Alipay account at the service desk. Diamond members can apply for a Shilla Duty Free Shop gold card directly. You can get a 15% discount on the duty-free basis when shopping.
If there is no gold card, the Silla Duty Free Shop skin care products may be flush with the daily price of Capital Airport or a little more expensive.
But after having the gold card, it immediately became much cheaper. At the same time, there were gifts after shopping in different brands, so it was very cost-effective.
Let me give you a few examples:
The three-pack of Lancome lipstick I bought is 580 yuan on the day, the Silla duty-free shop is 81 US dollars, and the gold card is about 480 yuan after a 85% discount.
SKII Shenxian Water 230ml double bottles have always been a popular product. The daily price is around 2,100 yuan, the Silla Duty Free Shop is US$300, and the gold card can be 10% off, which is about 1900 yuan.
In short, as long as the gold card is used well, you can really buy very cost-effective skin care products at the airport duty-free shop. Therefore, if you have a lot of shopping needs, you can go to the airport earlier.
recommends that you go earlier. After all, middle-aged and elderly mothers are all shopping malls. When buying things, they are excited like they are injected with chicken blood. They must be happy to buy them.
In addition to skin care products and some Korean snacks, it is not recommended to buy big-name bags or other at Korean airports, and the price is almost no advantage. If you buy
, you can go home with peace of mind.
Seoul's four-day and three-night parent-child tour guide is basically like this.
Although I have written many places, because the distance is not far and the itinerary is reasonable, I will not be tired at all, and it is also very fun.
The meaning of parent-child travel is that the family experiences a different life together. The children are happy and the adults are happy. This is the greatest significance of the family travel.
Every time I write a travel guide, I write a lot, for fear that I will not explain clearly, and I feel that I am really worried.
Finally, let me give you a few tips for friendship:
1. Language:
I can’t be good at Korean and English, so I don’t have to worry about going to Korea.
Popular shopping areas in South Korea, such as Myeongdong, Dongdaemun, Linyin Road and other places, as well as major shopping malls and duty-free shops, are equipped with absolutely enough Chinese shopping guides, so there is no need to worry at all. For the small shop, simple English is enough to deal with it. I am really worried about language, so I might as well buy a translator from University of Science and Technology Feixun and follow it with simultaneous interpretation.
2. Taxi:
South Korea is not like our country. Taxi software is developed and there are many online car-hailing services. If you take a taxi, just wave to the street.
The price of taxi in South Korea is slightly more expensive than that in Beijing, but it is completely acceptable.
If you are traveling for multiple people, then taking a taxi is actually very cost-effective, because South Korean buses and subways are really not cheap.
3, diet
Many mothers are unwilling to take their babies out, and the big reason is that they are worried that their babies will not get used to it.
Compared with Korean catering, we are indeed relatively single, but the overall Korean diet is still suitable for children. Even if it is ginseng chicken soup, barbecue, simple meals, etc., you can order some light noodles or porridge separately, so it is no problem for the baby to eat.
However, Korean fruits are a little expensive and have few choices. Mothers can carry some puree with them to help their babies supplement vitamins.
South Korea strategy ends here, I hope everyone can have a happy National Day holiday.
