🚇 Traffic Control Areas and 7 Tips for Using Public Transport
From my experience last year… “Bringing a car will lead to 100% regret”—I genuinely mean that. (Tearful)
🚫 Vehicle Control Areas
- Yeouidong-ro: Completely controlled (14:00~22:00)
- International Financial Road: Flexible control
- Around the 63 Building: Detour recommended
🚌 Essential Public Transport Survival Tips
- Gather at Exit 3 of Yeouido Station on Line 5 (Yeouinaru Station might be closed)
- Take Line 9 30 minutes earlier than usual (expect crowded trains after 21:00)
- Bus routes 262 and 5633 are tourist favorites
- Check real-time congestion using the Seoul Metro app when getting off
👮 Safety Guidelines for Surviving in the Crowd
Here’s the super strong secret information provided by a police official!
- If you are with children, definitely hold their wrist (it’s easy to lose them if you just hold hands)
- Know the evacuation point locations in advance for emergencies
- Water bottles and snacks are essential, but be prepared for a one-hour wait for the restroom (ㅠㅠ)
📸 Hot Viewing Spots Recommended by Locals
I’ll share my friend Min-soo’s super top-secret information who has lived in Yeouido for 10 years!
1. Yeouido Saetgang Ecological Park
A hidden gem with fewer people and great views 🌿 (However, you’ll find no seats after 16:00)
2. 63 Building Outdoor Plaza
Paid (20,000 won) but the best safety and picture-perfect spots 📸
