6,000,000 visitors are welcomed every year, and about 10% of the visitors are
foreigners. The structure inside makes use of the natural sunlight, and it is open
for visitors all year round, regardless of the weather.
Lotte World is divided into a '’Adventure’ theme once you are inside the building,

Adventure has certain districts representing different countries with various kinds
of facilities and souvenir shops. You can enjoy watching parades, numerous films,

Magic Island is situated outdoors, where the dazzling Magic Castle is located as
well as thrilling high-altitude rides that you can't experience elsewhere. Be sure to
also check out the peaceful walking trail around the lake.
One of the major reasons tourists are attracted to Lotte World is the amusement
rides. The Gyro Drop and Gyro Swing are the top pleasers– a steep drop with an
altitude of 70 meters, or taste the thrilling sensation of being inside a tornado. You
may need to take your shoes off before you get on since mostly likely they will
come off during the ride. The Flume Ride is a long boat with a high-altitude wave,

excitement of these rides, Lotte World also contains a variety of parades and laser
shows. The 200 performers sing and dance to music in the World Carnival Parade,
which adds excitement to the theme park.
After enjoying the rides, don't miss skating on the ice rink as well as visiting the
museum. The ice rink is situated indoors on the B3 floor, and is opened
throughout the year. Its pleasant atmosphere is perfect for family and couples to
enjoy. The hours are from 10:30 am to 10:30 pm, and runs even during the
holidays. Its facilities include a restaurant, a ticket booth, a snack bar, a sports
shop, a skate rental service, and a changing room.
On the other hand, The Folk Museum is the most popular museum for foreign
tourists. Folk cultural items are displayed and the items go back 5,000 years in
Korean history as well as miniature villages, and a playground. The museum layout
was arranged to attract the visitors' attention and the displays are easily
understandable. In addition, audio-visual devices and miniature models will make
it more enjoyable.

Itaewon Special Tourist Zone
Itaewon was the first special tourist zone designated in 1997 among the 5 special
tourist zones in Seoul. It is a multicultural place where over 20,000 foreigners live
and is widely recognized by international visitors.
The name Itaewon started to spread worldwide in the 1980s, when Korea hosted
the 1986 Seoul Asian Games and the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, as well as
international conferences. Since then, Itaewon has been a popular travel
destination. Clothes and accessories with unique designs, as well as leather
products are famous in particular. This is a go-to street for shopping and
entertainment. The street is crowded with shopping malls selling clothes and bags,
as well as accommodations including hotels, restaurants, entertainment facilities
and travel agencies. With about 2,200 shops and stores lining every street, visitors
can experience a multicultural atmosphere. Also famous is Antique Furniture Street
where more than 100 shops stretch from Hamilton Hotel to Hangangjin Station.
At night, Itaewon is brilliantly illuminated by nightlife for those from abroad and
home alike. Travelers can taste cuisines and cultures from around the globe on
World Food Street where there are 40 restaurants owned by foreigners. Since the
late 1990s, an increase in the number of tourists from Southeast Asia and the
Middle East has transformed the streets from being US Army-oriented into streets
of cultural diversity. In October, the “Itaewon Global Village Festival” takes place
with a range of performances and events.
Visitors can use foreign currencies, including the US dollar and the Japanese Yen.
Store staff can speak English, Japanese and Chinese.
Itaewon is easy to transport because of the center based in seoul.

Shopping in Seoul! part 1.
dongdaemun market
History
Dongdaemun Market opened in July 1905 in Yeji-dong (예지동 禮智洞), whose
name means "a neighborhood for learning politeness",
so the market was originally called Baeugaejang (배우개장, "market for learning").
The market was also called Gwangjang Market (광장시장) as a company of the
same name was set up as market management.
The market was set in a closed structure until the Korean War, when the market
was completely destroyed.
The market slowly rebuilt over the years, and in 1959 a building was constructed
and the market was revived.
In 1998 and 1999, large shopping malls such as Geopyeong Freya, Migliore, and
Doosan Tower were built in the district and the market was renovated with a
modern atmosphere among the traditional market.
Characteristic
Dongdaemun Market is located near Dongdaemun of which it takes its name.
The market is divided into five shopping districts—A, B, C, D and a shopping town,
with 26 shopping malls situated over 10 blocks, 30,000 speciality shops, and
50,000 manufacturers.
The market sells all types of goods but notably silks and fabric, clothes, shoes and
leather goods, sporting goods, plumbing and electronics,
office supplies, fortune tellers, toys and food areas specialising in Korean cuisine.
It also has many pet shops.
The Market is on the Seoul list of Asia's 10 greatest street food cities for the
Korean snack Sundae and mandu.
The market was traditionally a night market and wholesalers once operated from
1:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Now, the area is open for 18 ½ hours a day from 10:30 a.m.
to 5:00 a.m.,with some stores open 24 hours a day, although most stores close on
Mondays and holidays.
Malls
Section 1 - retail shops The main street divides Dongdaemun Market into two
sections. Section 1 is on the side where Doosan Tower is found, and Section 2 is
on the side of the
Dongdaemun Design Plaza & Park, the old site of Dongdaemun Stadium.
Huge shopping malls in Section 1 basically sell wholesale and retail goods, but
mostly deal with general customers and tourists at retail prices. Thus, they have
facilities like money exchanges and information desks with English speaking staff.
Opening hours are also aimed at general customers, opening from 10 am to 5 am
the next day. Major shopping malls are Doosan Tower, Migliore, Freya Town and
Hello a PM.
Section 2 - wholesale shops Shopping malls in Section 2 sell goods both in
wholesale and retail, but mainly sell in bulk.
Malls here usually open at about 8 pm and close at 8 am or 5 pm the next day.
The peak time comes late at night through early morning.
Since most shops deal with wholesalers, there are no dressing rooms.
Major shopping malls in Section 2 are Designer's Club, Migliore Valley, Nuzzon,
Gwanghee Fashion Mall, Jeil Pyeonghwa, and Heungin Stardom. Among them, Jeil
Pyeonghwa and Heungin Stardom attract customers in their thirties and forties.
Teens and youth in their twenties usually visit Designer's Club, Migliore Valley,
Nuzzon and Gwanghee Fashion Mall.

Do you wanna keep the good memorise about your traveling ?
we have only that way .
You have to go the N seoul tower (namsan seoul tower).
Seoul Tower opened to the public on October 15, 1980 and has since become a
major tourist attraction. The 236.7m Seoul Tower sits atop Namsan Mountain
(243m), Seoul Tower offers panoramic views of Seoul and the surrounding areas.
The view is so stunning that many consider Seoul Tower the best tower in Asia.
Thirty years and countless visitors later, as the structure was renamed ‘N Seoul
Tower.’ The letter ‘N’ stands for the tower’s ‘new’ look, which resulted from a 15
billion won remodeling in Dec 2005. With the new lighting system and changes to
the tower’s overall color scheme, event coordinators can now decorate the tower
for each new season or event.
Visitors are encouraged to try the N Grill western-style revolving restaurant
(one rotation every 48 minutes) and the Sky Restroom (an artfully decorated
space). Both offer breathtaking views of the cityscape.
