QR
Codes have been around for a number of years in Korea on bus shelters and
elsewhere, but it is the first time that the QR codes have appeared on the
pavement right in the eye of pedestrians.
The
QR Codes can be accessed with a smartphone and provide tourist information
about major attractions in the Gangnam area. By simply scanning the QR Code
visitors can read numerous information and materials taken from printed
brochures about the Gangnam, Garosu-gil, and area surrounding COEX.
Using
the QR Codes is quick and easy. You simply scan with the code-scanning app on
your phone and the information will automatically pop up about the area you are
visiting with information regarding shopping areas, restaurant locations and
directions in English, Chinese or Japanese.
The
new Seoul Subway Travel Guide (Lines 1-8) has been published in four languages
including English to make it easier for visitors to the city to get around the
Seoul CBD to go sightseeing, shopping and more. The Travel Guide has a lot of
useful information for visitors such as how to buy a single journey ticket, how
to use the transportation card recharging machine, tour courses available by
subway and other essential information for getting around the city. Seoul
city’s subway is super efficient and very safe and clean and incredibly
cheap to get around with a ride costing less than a dollar.

The
Seoul Subway Travel Guide is available in (44) Seoul subway stations frequented
by foreign visitors and Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) plan to have the
guides on their official travel website (www.visitkorea.or.kr) in the near
future.
