Seoul, South Korea | 3 days is not enough to play in Seoul. Seoul is more interesting than I thought. I thought Seoul was boring, but I walked so much every day that I wanted to extend my trip.

To be honest, when I first came to Seoul a few years ago, I thought it was just about shopping, eating beauty fried chicken, and visiting Dongdaemun, but I lost interest after just a walk around. But this time when I visited again, I completely changed my mind! Seoul is a city with endless treasures to discover - we walked 60,000 steps in three days, and we were willing to walk every day because there were amazing discoveries in every district!
1. Shengshui Cave: A paradise for hipsters
We spent almost the entire afternoon and evening soaking in the Holy Water Cave. This used to be an old industrial area, but now it is home to hipster coffee shops, perfume workshops, and designer boutiques. Just smelling the scents and looking at the art design in the fragrance store can take up an hour. There are also warehouse-style cafes, each of which is super photogenic and delicious.
2. Myeongdong Comic Street: Surprises around the corner
Everyone is familiar with Myeongdong, but have you noticed the street surrounded by comic characters? We walked in accidentally and looked up to see a lot of nostalgic cartoon characters appearing on the walls of the buildings. The whole street was like a living comic museum. We exclaimed as we walked around, and there were Easter eggs in every corner.
3. Han River Park: A perfect afternoon of cherry blossom viewing and relaxation
In the bustling city, we found an afternoon to sit in the Han River Park, looking at the blooming cherry blossoms and the sparkling river in the distance, doing nothing and thinking about nothing. The Han River in spring is so beautiful that even time seems to slow down.
4. OLiving Young: A beauty paradise where people go crazy on shopping sprees
This store is too dangerous! We recommend that you make sure to leave some space in your suitcase!
5. Aigibong: Few tourists, but the scenery is worth it
This time we also made a special trip to Aegibong, a place that few tourists visit. This is one of the best places to view North Korea. We were the only foreigners on the entire hill, so it was very quiet. When I climbed onto the observation deck, the view of North Korea in front of me was both shocking and peaceful. This silent gaze left a deep impression on me. It is recommended for those who want to avoid the crowds and experience a different side.
This trip finally made me realize that Seoul is not boring at all, but I had previously viewed it too superficially. When you are willing to walk a few more steps and explore more alleys and unpopular attractions, you will find that this city is full of little surprises for you.
