author:CICI Cheng who travels through the world

Regarding the trip to Korea, I actually planned for a long time, I was a "Har and Han family" in junior high school, from the Oriental God of the SM family, to the current girl group, as well as chasing Korean dramas, and Korean variety shows and so on.

After three years, the time to be able to move freely has finally returned, and travel to Korea is not immediately on the agenda.

From Chengdu, the flight time is about 3 and a half hours, the time difference is only 1 hour, and it will land at Incheon Airport in South Korea in a while.

✈️ 【1. Traffic Strategy】

We bought a direct ticket from Chengdu to South Korea this time, and Air China and Sichuan Airlines have resumed direct flights, and the price is quite beautiful.

【II. Accommodation Guide】

On this trip to Korea, we took advantage of a weekend vacation, so instead of living in the city, we chose to live in Paradise City, near Incheon Airport. This is also the place we have been thinking about for a long time, and finally came to check in the Korean drama "Druna Hotel", "Penthouse", and the paradise island that the guests yearned for in "Single is Hell" - Paradise City!

✨ Play Guide

Compared with ordinary hotels, Paradas City is a theme park where you can enjoy a variety of activities.

If you stay like me, you can use the hotel swimming pool, sofa park and exhibition tours free of charge. Even if you don't stay, you can enjoy a variety of entertainment facilities such as the shopping mall "Plaza", the theme park "Phantom Castle" and the water park "Shiomi", or enjoy food. Therefore, if you are visiting Korea from Incheon Airport, it is good to come to Paradas City for a cup of coffee and then walk. Anyway, there is a shuttle bus to and from Incheon Airport, which is very convenient.

delicacies

I mentioned earlier that the hotel is like a shopping mall, and one of the reasons is that there are so many restaurants. In addition to the Michelin restaurant cuisine of a five-star hotel, Plaza "Plaza" also has ginseng chicken soup, sauce crab and Korean barbecue that are often seen in Korean dramas, and there are plenty of food options to choose from in cafes and food courts! It's a great experience to find your favorite food without having to walk too far in the resort.

Location & transportation

Paradise City is near Incheon Airport, and it only takes 5 minutes to take the Paradise City shuttle bus from the airport, and it will not take more than 15 minutes to walk.

It takes about 40 minutes by airport subway from downtown Seoul, and there is also a rail transit opposite Paradise City (restored in July 2023), so you can directly sit in the center of Seoul. So I made a travel plan to capture [Paradise City + Seoul] this time.

Walking around Hongdae:

"Hongdae" is the abbreviation of Hongik University, one of Korea's more prestigious art schools, and now the term "Hongdae" no longer refers to just one university, but includes the neighborhood around Hongik University. Especially suitable for young people, hipsters check in!

The pre-university neighborhood is full of art, art lovers often show off their work, and there are many performance halls and exhibition halls, as well as unique cafes. Hongdae is surrounded by large and small bars, different from the bars in Gangnam, and the area around Hongdae is very familiar and suitable for young people to play, and does not need any enchanting makeup and clothing.
