It was a good tour for first timer in Seoul and comfortable bus with a good tour guide. It was enough to get a glimpse into tourist sites in Seoul. It did not feel rushed.

It is very convenient to use. You only need to enter the number in the machine to get the card. But when you take the card, it seems that you need to store the value of Taiwan dollars and exchange it for Korean won cash. This time when I traveled in Korea, I exchanged cash on Wowpass. It was very convenient not to have to go to the money exchange to exchange money. The exchange rate was a little bit worse, but there were not many places where I used cash. I only exchanged 2000 Taiwan dollars.

If you come to Seoul for tourism, you must arrange to come here. The night view is very good. You can buy it immediately on the KLOOK platform and use it. It is very convenient. The tickets are much cheaper than on-site. Recommended!

It is very convenient to purchase in advance on the KLOOK platform. You only need to enter the original price to successfully get WOWPASS. It is highly recommended for tourists coming to Korea. It can be used in all places where credit cards can be swiped. There are also many WOWPASS machines in Seoul, which are convenient for recharging!

Thank you to teacher Juyeong and the translator for the detailed explanation. The colors and tones are very different from what I originally imagined. I really recommend friends who are interested in makeup and dressing to try it! The course we took together had plenty of time, was very detailed, and even taught simple makeup techniques!

The explanation was thorough and it was an interesting activity. I have a better understanding of my skin color, which helps me choose clothes and cosmetics and avoid buying cosmetics and clothes that are not suitable for me.
