Regarding the itinerary, we joined a tour that departed at 1 PM, visiting three attractions in total, so there was no need to wake up early. Moreover, there was no rush; each attraction allowed ample time for leisurely exploration and photography. Personally, I found this itinerary arrangement to be excellent.
Additionally, our tour guide this time was Ms. Lala. She came directly to our hotel to pick us up, eliminating the need for us to travel to other hotels or meeting points, which was a very thoughtful arrangement. Since there were only two of us on this tour, it truly felt like a private charter, offering great value!
Ms. Lala is Korean, and we were pleasantly surprised by her fluent Mandarin. During our conversation, we learned that her entire family is Korean, and she, a young woman, mastered Mandarin through self-study. Throughout the car ride, she continuously explained Korean history to us, and she introduced the characteristics of each attraction very clearly. At the same time, she also informed us about some local living conditions, all of which are roles a tour guide should fulfill.
Furthermore, Ms. Lala also recommended places for us to eat. Following her recommendation, we ended up trying soy sauce marinated crab.
Throughout the entire trip, Lala was very polite and attentive to our needs. She constantly reminded us of various precautions, such as potentially slippery walking surfaces. It's fair to say she is a very considerate and polite young tour guide.
If you prefer a relaxed pace and wish to comfortably visit attractions and enjoy the scenery without rushing, I highly recommend this itinerary.
