New Attractions

There is a new attraction in Seoul. How about enjoying an afternoon in a bicycle cab with family or loved ones. Or how about going for a ride along the Cheonggyecheon on a double-decker bus? Beginning on May 3, a bicycle taxi has been going to and from Jeongdong Theater in Jung-gu and Seoul City Hall. The rates are 2,000 won for 10 minutes per person. From May 5th, a red double-decker bus will operate in the vicinity of Cheonggyecheon. It starts out from Gwanghwamun, and passes through Deoksugung, Cheonggye Plaza, Hwanghak Bridge, and Ogansu Bridge. It is 5,000 won for adults, and 3,000 won for those below high school.
