By knowing about public transportation and its routes, the selection of places to stay and tourist destinations that want to be visited first becomes easier. Meanwhile, the knowledge of South Korean geography will help in compiling tourist destinations that you want to visit. Do not let the journey from one destination to another make the trip longer than the visit time in a tourist destination. 4.

The reason is, most of the existing writings use hanguls without complements to Latin letters. 5.
