There are many clothes to choose from, including warm gloves and scarves. You can also ask the store clerk to help you find the style you like. The hairstyle is also very delicate. There are ladies who can speak Chinese in the store, which is very convenient for Chinese people. (๑ `▽´๑)۶棒👍🏻

It was a fulfilling day. We visited all the attractions we wanted to visit, but we had to walk faster, otherwise we might be late! Miss Hannia was very serious and responsible. She explained to us the fun and delicious things at each attraction on the bus, and also shared snacks with us! Highly recommended!

The bus tour with Haehwa Guide was a good choice. It seemed like three places a day would be appropriate given the time. It was also nice that he explained the historical aspects.
