Thanks to Instagram, rental shops for traditional Korean costumes have mushroomed around the city’s historical areas. Those clad in hanbok get free entry to medieval royal sites such as Gyeongbok Palace.

多得Instagram，傳統韓服出租店如雨後春筍般在首爾的古蹟區附近紛紛出現。只要穿上一身韓服，就可免費進入多個古代朝鮮王宮中參觀，例如景福宮就是其中之一。

HAN RIVER PICNICS

Leave your food at home and get a ritzy meal delivered to the Han River. You don’t even need an address: ‘red picnic blanket next to the basketball court at Banpo Hangang Park’ is enough.

漢江河畔野餐

若要前往漢江遊覽，不用自攜午餐，可以讓餐廳將豪華美食送到江畔你想野餐的地點。你不必提供詳細地址，只需說：「送到盤浦漢江公園籃球場旁邊的紅色野餐墊上」，美食自然就會送到。

這個水產市場佔地64,583平方呎，裡面有多家海鮮料理店，不妨挑選一家，入內大啖新鮮刺身或香辣海鮮鍋。如果可以早起的話，不妨去參觀清晨的吞拿魚拍賣，拍賣於早上6時30分結束。

TOM CRUISE (BELOW)

Affectionately called ‘friendly Uncle Tom’, the actor is adored in Seoul for spending hours taking selfies with fans during local premieres. Busan, South Korea’s second city, even made him an honorary citizen when he visited in 2013.

首爾的居民十分喜愛這位演員，暱稱他為「和藹可親的Tom叔叔」，因為他在當地的紅地毯首映儀式中不厭其煩地跟影迷自拍合照。他於2013年到訪南韓第二大城市釜山時，更獲當地頒授榮譽市民的稱號。

SEONGSU-DONG

The area’s warehouses have transformed into gallery-cafes (Daelim Changgo), craft beer pubs (Amazing Brewery) and an art complex with exhibition halls and shops for brands featured in events like Fashion Kode – the next one takes place at S-Factory (above) over 15-17 March.

聖水洞

這一帶的倉庫變身藝廊咖啡室（例如Daelim Changgo）與手工啤酒酒吧（例如Amazing Brewery），以及一組設有展覽廳和商店的藝術建築群，裡面出售Fashion Kode時裝周等活動內出現的品牌的服飾。下一屆Fashion Kode於3月15至17日在S-Factory（上圖）舉行。
