Itinerary Advice for May Trip to South Korea/China
Hi! Planning out a trip to asia with flights/hotels already booked! Looking for some advice on what to do on each day, if some days seem too overfilled etc.
Would love to hear things I MUST see, restaurant recs in the areas I will be, and if theres any days that seem OVERPACKED.
My first time to Asia so looking for any and all advice! I know it's a lot to look over but if you have a minute would love feedback on what to do, needs to be booked in advance etc. Any advice or ideas welcomed.
FYI - I am also VERY aware this will be a hectic and packed two weeks but I am pretty comfortable traveling and willing to do this as I can't take off too much time from work.
