What do you need to prepare for traveling in Korea? How much does it cost to travel in Korea?

As a rich country in East Asia, South Korea has a developed cultural and entertainment industry, so it attracts a large number of foreign tourists here every year to experience the real charm of South Korea. But recently, South Korea is not peaceful, so you still need to pay attention to some things when you travel to South Korea.

In fact, this is an incomplete Korean travel guide.

Maybe it's because I'm stupid I met many problems when I first went abroad. The worst thing is that I almost missed my plane. On the one hand, it summarizes the experience and gives some reference to friends who want to go out to play.

I. About entry and exit

1. Exit boarding (Pudong, Shanghai ~ Incheon, Seoul)

I leave from Shanghai Pudong Airport.

Friends who are going abroad for the first time really have to arrive early, and it is not enough to say important things three times!

In fact, the whole boarding process is roughly like this:

Step one, rough security check and then enter the airport. Then you have to prepare to check in. Checking in means going to your airline counter, checking your luggage and getting your boarding pass.

I booked a plane ticket on Ctrip. Anyway, no matter where I ordered it, when I click on the mobile phone order, the serial number (ABC) of your airline counter will be written on it, which is the check-in port.

Same entrance and exit.

Spring and Autumn is A in Pudong, so I went upstairs and went straight to A. Why should I arrive early? Here's a little. In case you leave in the peak season and there are so many people staying, you don't know when it will be your turn.

Another example is that the plane on the day I left was 12: 55. The check-in stop time is 1 1:55, and the boarding stop time is 12:25. So don't look at the departure time of the plane on the order, which is basically more than half an hour in advance.

Then a girl like me, as soon as she enters Pudong, will definitely buy it from the Japanese duty-free shop buy buy. Duty-free shops in China are hot and cheap. How can she buy them at buy buy when she doesn't have much time? Of course, this is after the real security check.

Just arrived in Korea

Step two, take your wife. Babies who go abroad to play will definitely not watch the Raiders less, so everyone knows to buy wifiegg or phone cards, otherwise how to surf the Internet and how to contact abroad.

I didn't use a calling card, because WeChat is also very convenient, so I can make voice calls or something, and I can use the Internet completely, so I only booked wifi.

Eggs. (But! If I like to swipe my card when I go out like me, it is easy to get confused and lose money. Do a roaming or buy a phone card before going abroad, otherwise the bank card bill will not be sent to you in a short message, which will be discussed in detail later. )

Wireless local area network (short for wireless fidelity)

Egg has many pick-up places, and it is reserved in different places. The SMS order should tell you where to pick up the goods. Generally, it is picked up in the check-in hall, running near the next floor, and there is a counter. What's available around the world? You can also book online at these counters.

However, my wifiegg was booked on Ctrip. The text message he sent me was like this.

Don't panic, you just can't find wifiegg in the check-in hall. Ctrip's order needs to be checked before it can be picked up, so go to the security check first!

The third step is security check.

Just walk one way, put some mobile phone electronic products in the box, and then backpack through the plane. This is in the middle of the registration hall. You can see it when you walk.

Don't be as stupid as me, thinking that signing in means passing the security check. )

Last step, board the plane!

Pay attention to the boarding gate on the mobile phone order and confirm the location of the boarding gate first. Some boarding gates are on the second floor! Then confirm the time to stop boarding, calculate the time, and start shopping in the duty-free shop in the morning.

2. Entry (Incheon, Seoul to Pudong, Shanghai)

After the silly exit boarding, I know some basic boarding processes, and the inbound boarding process is not afraid.

What I'm afraid of is tax refund and delivery.

Going to Korea is definitely indispensable. Cosmetic shops in Myeongdong can apply for tax refund. However, the trouble is that some stores provide tax rebates on the spot, and some give you tax refund forms.

Therefore, sort out the tax refund forms that need to be refunded the night before entry, so as not to be overwhelmed by a lot of lists.

There is such a scan code on the tax refund form.

So is the bill of lading. Ask if you don't understand. When the shopping guide gives you the bill of lading, remember to ask where the delivery place is.

Let's talk about the tax refund location first. There are some lists to teach you how to refund taxes. They will write down the tax refund process and location. The general position is the machine in the middle of the D or J window.

Never run around in front of the check-in counter, the tax refund machine is near the security check before boarding!

After the tax refund is verified, the real tax refund confirmation point is on another floor. I can't remember clearly. The waiter who examines the tax refund will explain it to you then.

Tax refund is before security check, and delivery is after security check.

Different duty-free shops have different pick-up locations. New World and Donghe are on the same stage, Lotte is alone, Silla is alone. therefore

Whether you are entering or leaving the country, you must arrive three hours in advance! There is always a lot of trouble.

Second, matters needing attention when going out

First of all, I mentioned at the top about renting wifiegg or calling card. In terms of cost performance, it must be wifiegg.

Yes, I booked it on Ctrip. It's 8 yuan a day with a deposit of 500 yuan. After the entries are returned, the deposit will be refunded.

However, because I didn't open roaming and didn't buy a phone card, I suffered a big loss!

I buy cosmetics and clothes for my mother or friends by direct credit card. But because there is no roaming and no calling card, the mobile phone can't receive short messages. The bill for swiping the card is not very clear, and it is basically swiped and left.

The balance in the ATM in Korea is all won, but there is no concept at once. This led me to play in Korea until the last day and found that there was a big hole in the money.

Because my friend will pay Alipay to transfer money to me, and then I will transfer my bank card, and the money will come in and out alternately. Anyway, I finally don't know

There is no way to check the bank statement. Whether it is WeChat through WeChat official account or any other channel, you need a phone number to connect!

So, babies, you are afraid that you can't count the money. You can buy a calling card and start roaming.

By the way, roaming must be opened half a month in advance, because people can't open it abroad. (the lesson of blood)

I want to save money, but I'm afraid I can't settle my account. Check your official WeChat account with the bank. Some of them can pull orders through WeChat, but they need to register with their mobile phones first. Make second-hand preparations before going abroad.

Take your passport with you when you go out.

I wonder if anyone is as stupid as me. You need a passport to buy things in duty-free shops or some shops that can refund taxes on the spot. So baby, please bring your passport.

Download the necessary app before going out.

For example, the Korean subway and Google Maps.

The Korean subway is really easy to use, and the location marks on it are very detailed.

Then the last one is a trick. If you go to Myeongdong, don't fill in Myeongdong at the subway terminal, but fill in the entrance of branch line B ... so the subway will come out of Lotte Silla Duty Free Shop! Hee hee.

Third, about playing.

How to play in Weibo? Don't say too much about Korean raiders. I'll just say some interesting things that people may ignore.

1. Coffee in convenience store

Unlike canned coffee in China, they sell coffee and cups separately. The plastic cup is filled with crushed ice, and the small cup is 500 won. Coffee is packaged, ranging from 900- 1000 won, depending on what you drink. Bought a cup of 1000 won latte.

After checking out, I poured the bagged coffee into the cup and turned it into coffee in the coffee shop. It tastes good, too! The point is, it's fun.

2. Medicine in the convenience store

Don't try this casually. My friend and I ate a bad stomach that day, and then went to the convenience store to buy digestive medicine.

It doesn't affect me, but it's delicious, less than 1000 won.

3.？ Korean native ice cream brand

A cheap big bowl is worth a try.

A normal-sized ball is less than 20 yuan, and the point is that one of its balls is as big as a girl's fist. It is the conscience of the industry.

4. Steam room

As for the steaming room, I went to any one not far from where I live. That store only costs 6000 won before 8 pm and 8000 won after 8 pm. I don't know if every sweat shop has rules. In short, if you want to have some money left, you can leave early.

When you arrive at the steaming room, you must buy rice wine and star cups. I'm sure it goes without saying that I will buy eggs. I recommend brown eggs, which are smoked and taste similar to marinated eggs.

Rice wine is just named rice wine, which tastes like a cool drink.

This set is a bit expensive to eat, 9000 RMB, about 50 RMB.

5. About coffee shops

There are many online celebrity coffee shops in Sanqing Donghe Xincun, and we were going to this store at that time. ?

My friends and I like this online celebrity very much, and the road we have been looking for for for a long time has finally come to an end.

Close the door.

Business hours are from/kloc-0 to 23 every month. Everyone must look at the time.

6. Shopping places

Ming dong is definitely the first choice, but Ming dong is too complicated. Most of them are cosmetics stores, and only some alleys have brands of ethnic designers.

Xinsha is a good place to go. ?

I forgot to take a picture, but it's really beautiful.

There seems to be a photochemical door or something over there.

Fourth, about feelings.

South Korea's food culture is basically northeast flavor, and the humanistic culture is a little biased towards Japan.

For example, my friend took me to eat Anton chicken in Myeongdong.

Just say it looks like a big chicken!

Sweet and sour tenderloin is braised pork in the northeast, which tastes the same.

Generally speaking, the taste is no different from that of Korean restaurants in China, the only difference is the local "spicy". It's all stuffy and spicy. It's top-notch. Domestic Korean stores can't do it either.

The soup of spicy rice cakes is also higher than that of domestic ones.

When I eat seafood noodles, I habitually take a sip of soup. First of all, my skull is covered and my eyes are covered with flowers. When I recovered, I felt as if I had been punched in the jaw. How exciting (smiling face).

If the culture is face to face, I deeply understand that service attitude is generally preferred. Whether it's a duty-free shop or a snack bar, they will always tell you about crab crab after you check out.

The restaurant means (going), and the shop that buys things probably means? (Thank you)
