    As a huge fan of Fu Bao, Everland is a place I've always wanted to visit. I bought an annual pass, and this ticket is for a friend. We saw the discounted price at the ticket booth while waiting at the park entrance; it was a great deal! I hope Ctrip will offer more promotional activities. To commemorate Ruihui and her mom being together, I'm including a photo of the three of them, plus Le Bao's dad! The Bao family are all adorable children.

    Seoul Tower, right? That's it. I've been there four times in ten years, and every time is the same. It's nice to have a drink and enjoy the view, the sunset, and the night view. The length of your stay will vary depending on what you want to do. Don't forget to get off the mountain in time.

    Myeongdong Beacon Tower, located in Namsan Park in Seoul, South Korea, is also known as the "Mokmisan Beacon Tower." Reconstructed in 1993, it is not the original historical structure, but it still possesses a unique charm. From a historical and cultural perspective, the beacon tower was built during the Joseon Dynasty to transmit urgent military intelligence from the border to the central government. It served as a vital communication hub for the capital for over 500 years, demonstrating its crucial role in ancient military communications. From a scenic perspective, it is an excellent observation post, offering panoramic views of Seoul. The surrounding environment is also beautiful, complementing the natural landscape and cultural facilities of Namsan Park. In addition, nearby attractions include the Octagonal Pavilion and the Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall, which can be visited together. Overall, Myeongdong Beacon Tower is a site of both historical and cultural value, suitable for visitors interested in history and those who enjoy scenic views.

    An unexpectedly amazing performance! My goodness, it was incredible! My breasts felt sore after watching it! The actors had great bodies, and I picked three handsome guys. It was much better than domestic shows. Although they interacted with the audience, they were all very polite. I was so lucky to get a seat right in the middle! No worries about getting in to interact, haha, and the viewing experience was excellent. Please hold more events like this!

    There is a free shuttle bus from Chuncheon Station, Exit 1. This yellow bus goes to Legoland. The ride takes 10-15 minutes. Lockers are available at Legoland, but they are expensive. We recommend using them at the train station. Tickets are easy to use. Load the QR code into your wallet and scan it at the entrance. You can check waiting times for rides in the Legoland Korea app.(app store,play store) inside Legoland, Kr is cashless only don’t pay cash!!! In shop lego is not promoting

    Absolutely worth going! An amazing experience for ladies that every traveler to Seoul should book. I would definitely recommend booking vip or even vvip seats since that would allow you to have the best experience possible.
