Process paragraph:

Having the Best One-Day Tour of Seoul

Seoul is an amazing city. To see, do and experience all the interesting and unforgettable things it has to offer, you will need at least a week. But, to get the most of your time in Seoul if you have only one day to visit, you should you should take a bus tour of Seoul, have lunch and browse for souvenirs in the Insadong area, go shopping , and and finally take a cable car or walk up Namsan mountain to the Seoul Tower to enjoy a great view of the city and a nice dinner. It is easy to get around Seoul and see all the famous sightseeing spots if you hop on one of the Seoul City Tour buses. You can buy a daily ticket and hop on and off whenever you want. Some of the attractions you may see on your way are ancient palaces, gates, temples and pagodas, as well and some fascinating modern buildings, like the Building 63. After you finish your sightseeing tour, go to Insadong, Seoul’s ‘Museum street.” There, you can have a truly Korean lunching experience at one of the many traditional restaurants that serve famous Korean delicacies. Some of my favorites are bibimbap, a healthy dish of rice and assorted vegetables served with red pepper sauce, and mandu, dumplings filled with either kimchi mixtures or meat. Next, you can enjoy a cup of fresh green tea at one of the many beautiful tea shops, or you can browse the street and look for souvenirs. After Insadong, you should visit one of the big markets, either Dongdaemun or Namdaemun. You will be amazed by this unique shopping experiences. You can find anything you want there at discounted prices. Finally, finish your day with a relaxing cable car ride or a walk up the Namsan mountain. Once on the top, you can enjoy the fresh air and the fabulous night cityscape of Seoul. Don’t miss going up the Seoul Tower and having dinner at the revolving restaurant. At the end of the day you will be very tired but very happy to have seen many beautiful places, tasted deliciously exotic food, bought wonderful gifts and souvenirs, and enjoyed the romantic view of Seoul at night. This will be the day you will never forget.
