N Seoul tower is a landmark of Seoul and N SEOUL TOWER is the very place to enjoy the entire city of Seoul! ... Since the
N SEOUL TOWER was opened to the general public in 1980, it has become a resting place for the citizens of Seoul as well
as a touristic attraction for foreigners with the living nature of Namsan.
Ondal Tourist Park
Located to the west of Sobaeksan National Park and Guinsa Temple, Ondal Tourist Park spans a vast area of 97,011
square meters. The attractions and facilities in the park include an
area for folk games, a sports town, inns, local restaurants, local product stores, picnic grounds, Ondalchon village,
Ondalgwan museum, House of Legends, and a traditional wedding hall. Also located within the park are the 450 million-
year-old Ondal Cave (760 meters), and Ondalsanseong Fortress,
the place that holds the legendary love story between General Ondal and Princess Pyeonggang. The park’s highlight is
the Ondal Open Film Set, a filming site of many popular Korean dramas.
Jeju Island
Jeju Island features a volcanic Hallasan commanding the island from the center, a 224-kilometer semi-tropical forested
national park, a wild coastline dotted with waterfalls and the longest lava tube in the world.
Busy Streets of Myeongdong
Though Myeongdong is best known for its shopping, nightlife, and eating, it does have Myeongdong Catherdral, one attraction that
should not be missed. The cathedral, built in Gothic style, is one of the most important Catholic churches in Korea.
Tips in Visiting South Korea
▪ Affording a travel agent or booking in a travel agency is much more an ideal because it is much more organized
but that will cost your trip more.
▪ In using public transportation buy a T money or card for you to have a less hassle trip because it is more
convenient and more affordable
▪ recommendation is to come during spring, which is between April and June. September’s cooling weather is great
too.
▪ In travelling to South Korea in summer time wear as much as comfy clothes.
▪ To prevent being lost try downloading metro apps or google maps to help you on your trip destinations.
▪ I read from TripAdvisor that the tax claims counter refunds your taxes almost on the spot at the airport. To claim
taxes, you have to spend more than KRW30,000 (which is ~SGD37) at the beauty stores in Myong Dong, one of
the famous shopping districts in Seoul Korea.
▪ Exchange money at airports.
▪ Instead of booking a hotel try instead an Airbnb is it much more affordable if you’re likely to spend to Korean in a
much longer period of time.
▪ When travelling try to avoid ride hailing apps and try to use the train because it is a lot more of convenient and
affordable.
▪ If you’re using a credit or debit card contact your bankers deliver a travel advisory.
Questions
What did you need to research to plan your trip?
I researched about tips before travelling to different countries abroad specifically south Korea to have knowledge on what
do I need to know and also to be prepared. I research about tips on ways on how will my going to be trip will be more exciting
and more affordable yet I’ll enjoy and have full relaxation on my trip. Also, I research about their culture because I didn’t grow up
there and maybe some of the ways or culture in my country will be offending onto their like sign gestures. Furthermore, I research
some of the basic of their language for me to have a prior knowledge onto communicating with the locals there.
How were you able to find resources for your itinerary?
Actually, I’m used to watch travel vlogs and also, I watch Dramas’ so basically, I do have a prior knowledge how beautiful
south Korea is. It is always my dream to be in south Korea because they preserve and value their culture well. Watching travel
vloggers in exploring to Korea made me note on some spots or destination that are aesthetically pleasing or beautiful. Also, in their
vlogs they include some tips in raveling such as on how and where to book flights that are very affordable.
What kind of information do you think would you help to improve your itinerary?
I think information such as public transportation because when it’s your first time travelling out of the country it is pretty
scary that you’ll be going to a place that is outside your personal culture, you’ll be experiencing and be socializing onto people that
has or have different beliefs. Also having a prior knowledge on public transportation partnering with online maps will make your
travel a lot easier and more convenient resulting your travel a memorable one. Furthermore, I’d just like to add that having a travel
agency or tour guides would be a lot worth the travel because tourist guides will let you give more information about a specific
destination that will result to more appreciation of the place.
