5B - How to get Insa-dong and Myeong-dong. (Informative Writing)

"How can I go here?" is the sentence spoken the most by foreign tourists in the subway station.

There are some tips for foreign tourists to reach their destination more easily by using maps and tips.

If you, the tourist, are visiting the place for the first time, it is highly recommended to take subway, not the bus. Because the subway is much more convenient to use and the bus is hard to understand the announcement which is just spoken in English and Korean.


Also the map for subway is well-organized enough for the tourist to understand easily.


Despite the map, someone who has difficulties reading this map still, the smart-phone application could be useful. There is an English version of the application like the photo below (Some applications have Japanese and Chinese version too).


By clicking the station for departing and the station for a destination, the application shows the fastest way. Also there are some tips for transferring such as the fastest door for transfer and the side of the door, making it faster to ride and exit.

  2. It was great that you introduced an application that even foreigners can use! I also use one that's very similar but it was only in Korean.. ohh and I totally agree with what you said about Myeongdong!!! It's too over-crowded .. especially on Christmas.. I can't imagine going there on the holidays..
