Recommendation Index: 6.5/10.0

​

Seoul is a city where joys of eating, drinking and shopping are all in abundant evidence, a dreamy destination for girls, including Congyu, who love Korean TV series.

The trip to Seoul was the easiest ever. The only preparation was buying the air tickets and making a phone call. Accommodation, food, transportation are provided there in one blink of eyes, all thanks to Hui MIAO, Ruochen's old friend. Hui is better than any professional tour-guider you could hope for. With his carefully-planned guidance, we visited the famous sights including Gyeongbokgung, N Seoul Tower, Dongdaemun, Gyeongdong, and also distinctive restaurants, coffee shops and bars hidden backstreet. The REAL traditional Korean cuisine we found was so good that no Korean food seems half as tasty back in Shanghai.

​

Compared to other Asian cities, the bus system in Seoul is quite impressive, with bus-only lanes on every main street. So is the coverage and speed of WIFI.
