    "Very satisfied, can be used any day before the end of August. Enter the park and scan the code silk directly into the park, and then the park app can book the project after binding the ticket. I only want to see the panda. I watched 8 rounds of pandas from 10 and a half in the morning to 5 pm, and I was satisfied with the return trip. The restaurants in the park are not expensive, and the souvenirs are not expensive, cheaper than Disney. Trip.com It is convenient to buy tickets, and it is the cheapest after several platforms are compared. Will go again."

    "It is said that you need to make an appointment to actually buy it. You can scan the QR code at the counter and you can go in and use the QR code to scan the gate. After you can enter and enter, you can't come out of the indoor part. You need to look at the map and you can't go back. It's good to buy it at the end. I bought a refrigerator sticker for this trip."

    "address:161 Sajik-ro, Jongno District, SeoulIt is a very spectacular palace. Because of the Korean drama, I feel more familiar with this palace. It is one of the must-go pilgrimage attractions in Korea. Walk along Gyeongbokgung Palace Road to the end and you will find the Blue House (reservation required in advance). It is recommended to arrange your itinerary. You can plan together now!"

    "amazing little island where you can cycle around! There are also walking paths alongside a beautiful scenary of the sea and greens"
    Jeju.Seongsan llchulbong/Pyoseon-myeon
    39.2 km from downtown Jeju
    No.2 of Water Fun Attractions in South Korea
    Highlights: Udo, also known as Coral Island, Haenyeo Island, and Lighthouse Island, is a small island located in the east of Jeju. The whole island is shaped like a lying cow, hence the name Niu Island. With the exception of Uduubong, a parasitic volcano in Hallasan Mountain, Udo is flat as a whole, with a steep cliff facing the sea. 80% of the filming of "Mermaid Princess" starring Jeon Do-yeon took place on Udo Island. Choi Ji Woo's "Lian Lizhi" and Jun Ji Hyun's "Untouchable Lovers" have both been filmed in Udo, which has become one of the representative tourist attractions in Jeju. The peak standing on the flat ground of Udo Island is Niutou Peak. The unique height can not only have a panoramic view of Udo Island, but even the Seongsan Sunrise Peak. Climb up the hillside along the fence to the top and come to the white lighthouse. The trail connecting the lawn to the reed field seems more attractive than the view from the top of the lighthouse. A few cows are scattered among the bushes, reminiscent of the island's name. Unknown wildflowers sway in the wind, as romantic as a lyric poem. There are also microscopic models of Sokcho Lighthouse and Budo Lighthouse. The road to the lighthouse is very steep, and it is not suitable for the elderly and infirm to climb. In addition, the "Eight Views of Udo Island" is the representative scenery of Udo Island, which includes day and night (bright moon in the daytime, fishing sails at night), sky and earth (Tianjin Mountain View, Ditou Qingsha), front and back (Qianpu) Wangdao, Houhai Stone Wall), east and west (Whale Cave on the east coast and Baisha on the west coast). Under the abruptly standing Niutou Peak are the Houhai Stone Wall and the East Coast Whale Cave among the Eight Views of Niu Island. The stone wall in Houhai is 20m high and 30m wide, and surrounds the Heisha (Black Sand) beach, which is famous for its black sand. The East Coast Whale Cave located at the end of the beach is one of the famous caves in Udo Island, which means that it can accommodate whales from the east, and is also called the "Nose Cave". There are holes in the East Coast Whale Cave, the entrance is only visible at low tide. It is another taste to enjoy the sky and sea view outside in the cave.

It consists of four areas: aquarium, marine stage, marine science and central venue. The volume of the pool is 10,800 tons. The museum displays a total of 48,000 creatures, including whale sharks, dolphins, large sharks, and 10,000 damselfishes. The aquarium has three floors, one underground and two above ground. The entrance is located on the second floor where visitors can start viewing. The second floor reproduces "Jeju and the Sea of the Five Oceans", consisting of the Arctic Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Antarctic Sea, and displays representative creatures of each ocean. On the first floor, with the theme of "the gorgeous encounter between the ocean and the jungle", visitors can three-dimensionally watch aquatic creatures such as seals and penguins, and the trees and jungles in the museum are lush, which can be described as a veritable "ocean adventure", bringing tourists a tropical rainforest adventure-like experience. The touch pool is also on the first floor. After crossing the "Ocean Adventure", children can put their hands into the pool to have close contact with marine creatures such as magpie sharks, conch shells, and starfish. On the basement level, there is a main pool called "three-dimensional (IMAX) ocean" that "Aquaplanet Jeju" is proud of. The pool is 23 meters long and 8.5 meters high, also known as the "Sea of Jeju". It is reported that in order to better withstand the water pressure, the thickness of the acrylic board is as high as 60 cm, the production cost is about 10 billion won.△ THE OCEAN OF FANTASY.

At first, I was worried about being very sideways because I couldn't choose a seat, but I was actually near the stage! Recommend WILD WILD area, the price difference of 200, of course, you have to observe 👀 up close!"
