Note: The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

By the way… If you get tired and your HP runs out during the day, N้องไฟ has summarized the save points as "subway stations with exits" at each stage and location. You can see them in the map pictures for each stage. ^_^ You can save and come back to play another day, or you can clear it all in one day! …

Before starting your journey, take a moment to compose yourself. This will ensure a smooth, safe, and enjoyable trip. For those with a basic understanding of Korean, I recommend downloading these apps for your travels in Seoul.

1) Kakao Map: A highly accurate map app that surpasses Google Maps! Download it and never get lost again!

2) Kakao Talk: This app is widely used by Koreans and is more popular than LINE. Download it to chat with friends or anyone else.

3) Seoul Subway: An app that automatically calculates your Seoul subway route, including which lines to take and which stations to get off at.

The Journey Begins: A Meeting Point at City Hall Station

Our journey with N้องไฟ begins at a crucial meeting point: City Hall Station (시청, ชีช่อง). This bustling underground hub serves as the starting point for an exploration that promises to be both exciting and enlightening.

City Hall Station is served by two intersecting train lines:

Green Line, Line 2 (Circle Line) - Line 2 (Euljiro Line)

**Dark blue line, Line 1 - Station 1 (Euljiro Hoesun)**

Let's first check if our house is near these two lines. If so, it would be incredibly convenient. However, if not...

Navigating Seoul's Subway with Ease: A Guide for Travelers

To ensure a smooth and efficient journey through Seoul's extensive subway system, consider utilizing the "Subway Korea" app. This user-friendly application not only facilitates subway navigation but also assists in effortlessly returning to your designated safe point. Let's delve into the app's functionalities and discover how it can enhance your travel experience.

After loading, we will find all 900+ train stations in Seoul (yay!!). This map allows you to tap on a station to select it as your starting point or destination. For example, if you live near Sinchon Station (신촌), you can tap on it and select "Depart From" to indicate that you will be starting your journey from there.

Our meeting point is City Hall Station (시청 ชีช่อง), right? … Then we point our finger and select that station, and then press Arrive At.

The app calculates the easiest and best route for us. Fortunately, my friend's house is located in Sinchon on the green line, so it's convenient and we don't have to change lines. However, if your friends are at a point where they need to change lines, the app will calculate the route and tell you which station to get on and off. If you need to change trains, it will tell you to change and go on this line, this color, and head in this direction. We just have to read the signs at the station to confirm with ourselves. That's it, we won't get lost!

Are you all ready? ... If so, let's conquer the first stage together!!

Checkpoint 1

- Seoul City Hall (서울시청)

• Deoksugung Palace

• Sungnyemun Gate (숭례문)

Emerging from the subway, you'll be greeted by the sight of Seoul City Hall (서울시청, Seoul Si-cheong). This is our meeting point.

This is the main palace of Deoksugung Palace.

At the center of the grand hall, an imposing throne stood tall.

The underside of the roof in Korean palaces is elaborately decorated with layers of vibrant colors, a distinctive feature of Joseon Dynasty architecture.

Tucked away in the innermost reaches of Deoksugung Palace lies a European-style pavilion.

The Western-style building, the innermost palace of Deoksugung Palace, is beautiful.

Translation:

The younger brother arrived just as the guards were changing shifts at the palace. He saw the two ministers, who looked surprisingly cute together. The Westerner taking photos was clearly a fujoshi.

Another charming aspect of Deoksugung Palace is Deoksugung-gil (덕수궁-길), the street beside the palace. The trees lining the street have all changed color, creating a stunning visual spectacle.

Cute ginkgo leaf <3

Another unique feature is the use of crocheted rugs with various patterns to wrap around the trees, protecting them from the cold. This adds a charming touch.

Translation:

After visiting the palace, let's walk south for about 200 meters to the majestic Sungnyemun Gate (숭례문).

Translation:

The Sungnyemun Gate is guarded by soldiers. If you happen to arrive during the changing of the guard ceremony, you will witness a scene like this.

Adjacent to the Sungnem Gate is the Namdaemun Market (남대문시장 นัมแดมุนชีจัง), one of the most popular tourist destinations for Thai tourists. You can also stroll around and buy souvenirs here.

Standing at Exit 5 of Gwangwamun Station on the Purple Line, we find ourselves across the street from Gwanghwamun Square. Crossing the road, we are greeted by the majestic statue of King Sejong (세종대왕, Sejong Daewang).

King Sejong was an incredibly cool king! He invented the Korean alphabet, Hangul (한글), which is still used by Koreans today.

After taking selfies with the statue of King Sejong the Great at Gwanghwamun Square, it's time for one of the highlights of our walking tour... Gyeongbokgung Palace (경복궁)!

The guards stood majestically in front of the palace.

The stone lion is quite cute. A picture together would be highly recommended.

Translation:

Admission to Changdeokgung Palace costs only 3,000 won. However, if you are wearing a hanbok (한복) like the one I am wearing today, admission is free!

Another highlight of Gyeongbokgung Palace is the changing of the guard ceremony, which takes place every hour. If you arrive at the top of the hour, you will be able to witness this impressive spectacle.

After exploring the vast grounds of Gyeongbokgung Palace, you can exit through a side gate and seamlessly connect to the Bukchon Hanok Village. This charming traditional Korean village is just a 15-minute walk from the palace, making it an easy and convenient extension to your cultural journey.

The houses here are still built in the ancient architectural style and are well preserved. Most of them have been converted into shops to welcome tourists like us.

Another truly hipster city ... Look, Spider-Man is rushing to steal kimchi. Oh, both ...

Art is present throughout the village streets.

Having thoroughly explored the area, we have successfully passed the second stage with flying colors. Let's move on to the third stage!

Checkpoint 3

The intricate decorations beneath the eaves of Korean palaces are truly breathtaking.

After reaching the end of Insadong Street on the other side, cross the road according to the map. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to Jongmyo Shrine (종묘), another highlight and another World Heritage Site. There is an entrance fee and a time limit for entry here. Because it is a sacred shrine, there are more ceremonies than visiting the palace.

However, the entrance fee is only 1,000 won (wow!). Guided tours are available, and self-guided tours are not permitted. Each tour lasts one hour and is offered in four languages:

1. Korean

2. Chinese

3. Japanese

4. English

Choose the English frame, haha!

Our guide for today is Nuna (누나), also known as Claire, the elder sister who guides the hearts of her younger brother, Fire. She will be taking us on a tour of Jongmyo Shrine.

Jongmyo Shrine is a sacred place where memorial tablets of all Joseon kings and queens with distinguished merits are enshrined. Their tombs are located separately in the royal cemetery, not here. However, memorial ceremonies for the kings (similar to Qingming Festival) are held in front of the memorial tablets at Jongmyo Shrine. These ceremonies are still held twice a year by members of the Yi clan, who are descendants of the Joseon royal family. Although they do not hold official titles or political roles, they continue to perform the important task of commemorating their ancestors every year.

The entrance to the Grand Hall of the Jongmyo Shrine was remarkably quiet.

The Grand Hall of the Jongmyo Shrine houses memorial tablets of the Joseon kings.

The serene ambiance of Jongmyo Shrine bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun creates a breathtaking spectacle.

After an enriching hour at Jongmyo Shrine, let's head over to Cheonggyecheon Stream for a leisurely stroll!

Leaving the Jongmyo Shrine, head south according to the map of Checkpoint 4. You will encounter the Cheonggyecheon Stream like this!!

Taking a break to enjoy a cup of coffee (커피 คอพพี่) at the third-floor coffee shop by the canal, which offers a pleasant atmosphere.

We are now entering the 5th and final stage.

Safe Points on the Subway

This phrase translates to "Safe Points on the Subway" in English.

It is important to note that the original text is written in a casual and informal tone, using the Thai word "จ้าาา" which is a friendly exclamation. In the English translation, I have opted for a more formal and neutral tone, simply stating the information about safe points on the subway.

If your friends save their game at Myeongdong.

• Take Subway Line 4 and get off at Myeongdong Station (명동). Exit through Exit 8 and walk straight into the Myeongdong district. Alternatively, …

• Alternatively, take Line 2 (Green Line) and get off at Euljiro 3-ga Station (을지로3가). Exit 12.

Translation:

At N Seoul Tower, even seeing Nayeon from afar brings me joy. It's settled! Hooray!

==========

Welcome to the 5th and final stop of our Seoul walking tour with Fai!

While Myeongdong is known for its shopping, a visit to Myeongdong Cathedral offers a beautiful and serene escape, perfect for a slow-paced exploration.

This church is still open for Christians to pray and perform religious activities. However, we can also visit and admire its beauty. It is truly magnificent.

You can also stop by and shop! Haha!

From Myeongdong, you can see the N Seoul Tower quite clearly. However, if you want to go up, I'm sorry, I don't know how to get there. Please tell me how to get there. ㅠㅠ

Translation:

"Personally, just seeing this was enough to make me ecstatic. When I saw it, when I took the picture, I got goosebumps because I had only seen it on TV before. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, it's like, 'I've finally made it!!' … This is just from down here, I wonder what it will be like when I actually get up there? Haha!"

The journey has come to an end! ... A walking trip around Seoul using my own legs, in the style of a young fire ... I hope my friends will get ideas for walking around Seoul easily without getting lost ... Let's go! <3
