To learn more about the country, see more of its sights, be independent and free in its actions, you need to go to this country on your own. However, in this case, any non-standard situations and force majeure circumstances you will decide for yourself. Having weighed all the pros and cons, we chose a trip to the mysterious South Korea on our own.
We decided to travel in May to see the blossoming nature of Korea, in particular the blooming cherry blossom.
Express train KTX
Our journey began with the arrival at Incheon International Airport.
Incheon International Airport is one of the largest airports in the world. It is located 70 kilometers from Seoul. The airport was built in 2001.
Incheon is the busiest airport in Asia. Incheon is the airport of constant registration of Korean Air and Asiana Airlines. The airport is located on the artificially created island of Yonjon-Jongju. The island was created from 4 large islands and many small islands, and also, a covered sea part, located inside. And it causes admiration!
Arriving in Seoul, at Incheon airport, we took the following actions immediately:
exchanged money. Exchange offices right at the airport. At once, it is not necessary to change everything, but as necessary. And then, on the periphery, the rate may be more profitable,
bought a single ticket. It is very convenient. The travel card is valid anywhere in Korea, be it a village or a large city and all modes of transport,
-Bought a map of South Korea.
Since our route started from the province, from the city of Yeosu, we had to move from Incheon Central Airport to the local airlines airport. This airport is called "Gimpo". Previously, "Gimpo" was an international airport in South Korea. From Incheon Airport to the airport "Gimpo" there is an electric train. In the train we used a single ticket and 40 minutes later we were at the airport "Gimpo". Up to our flight there were hours 2, and we slowly passed registration, had a bite, handed over luggage and, anticipating acquaintance with the new sensations, went to the cabin of the plane.
A little scary sight. We flew to that part of Korea, where the cities can be located on several islands, connected by bridges and tunnels. One of these cities was the city of Yeosu. By the way, the flight time from the city of Yeosu to the city of Nagasaki in Japan is only 40 minutes.
