  • Day Trip in Seoul by Local BUS
    Enjoying Korea 2014. 10. 2. 06:00
    728x90

     This course I started from Gangnam station.

    After you take a look around Gangnam take a bus #420 to the national theatre of Korea.

     

    Oh before we start I want ot explain you about T Money Card.

    I know that there's some other contry using similar system.

    When you buy T money card from 7 eleven or else you can top up the money and use card as money.

    the good thing for this T money card is when you use bus and subway or bus and transfer to another bus, it give you free transfer.

    So I suggest you to get T money card if you are planing to travel by public transportation.

    And if you want to use one card for more than one person. When you get on the bus you can simply tell driver that how many of you then driver will punch in the number and you can use one card for more than one person.

    but if you want to transfer to subway with the card you use more than one person, you can't get free transfer cause at the subway there's no body who will punch in the no. or system like bus.

    And if you are going to transfer to the other bus with the card that you used for more than one person, when you get on the second bus you have to tell the same no. as you told first bus driver so second bus driver will punch in the same no. and you can all get the free transportaion.  If you fail to do that then you can't get the free transportation.

    And one more condition is if you want to get second free transportation you have to get one next bus or subway within 30 mins.

     

     

    When you get off the bus, across the street you will see the national theatre of Korea.

    You have to cross the road to get next bus to go to the N tower. so find the bus stop and wait for #2,3,5.

    with T money card it's free cause it's second bus.

    Only bus can go on top of the Namsan so if you want to save time and energy you can take a bus.

    If you want to just walk, you can simply walk up.. enjoy~~

    There's nice tail around Namsan and especially this time around of year is the best!!

    Anyway.. I took a bus and went to N tower...

     

     

     

    N tower has great view around Seoul and this is one of popular tourism spot as well...

    So it's fun to look at what other tourist do in this place....

     

     

    It was tuesday afternoon and lots of tourist.....

     

     

    After enjoying N tower and Namsan you can take a # 5 bus at the bus station and go to Namdaemon.

    Namdaemon is our #1 national treasure and this gate was one of 4 gates from chosun dynasty.

     

     

    Namdaemon is just across from namdaemon market.

    So after enjoying our gate go to market and enjoy shopping and eating...

     

    After explore market you can walk to go to the cityhall and Kyungbok Palace.

     

     

    This is square in front of cityhall. the lower building behind kids is our old cityhall and tall building behind the

    lower building is our new cityhall.  Now the lower building, our ex cityhall is a public library.

     

     

    from square just across road is Kyungbok Palace.

     

     

    From palace you can walk toward to Gwanghwamun and before you arrive at Gwanghwamun you will see

    Chunggyechun.

     

     

    And Gwanghwamun......

     

    You can walk to other palace as well....

     

    Seoul has too many to offer so Enjoy~~
