<p>The Philippines itself is not short on must-visit destinations. Here are some of our local recommendations:</p>

It’s a three-hour drive from Cebu City, sometimes more, which to spoiled locals is two hours longer than what they are used to. However, the whole idea of going there means readily agreeing to the long trek, as discerning travelers know. You’ll have to plan at least a two-night stay to appreciate Kandaya Resort at its best. Otherwise, don’t bother.</p></div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Summer in South Korea is severely underrated. Most people who plan on traveling there usually aim for the seasons of autumn, winter and spring to experience the best of the Land of the Morning Calm—all with perfectly good reasons, of course. But South Korea is equally beautiful in the light of the summer, and having a clear day for a backdrop often results in gorgeous Instragram-worthy snapshots.</p>
<p>Satisfy your wandering Seoul with <em>Zee Lifestyle</em>’s guide to South Korea.</p>
<p><a href="http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/post_divider.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11303" src="http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/post_divider.png" alt="post_divider" width="478" height="26" srcset="https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/post_divider.png 478w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/post_divider-300x16.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px" /></a></p>

<h2>1. Explore Incheon International Airport</h2>

<p>Okay, so we’d actually rather save this for the last day of the trip while you wait to board your flight, but Incheon International Airport is a destination in itself when you’re in South Korea. It’s one of the world’s best airports for good reason: There’s an abundance of amenities, from duty-free shopping and top-notch dining establishments, to sleeping and shower areas and cultural shows. You’d find you wouldn’t really mind long layovers or delayed flights.</p>

<p>South Korea is a highly urbanized and modern city, yet you can still get glimpses of history and culture here and there. Gyeongbokgung Palace is the largest of Korea’s Five Palaces and was home to the Royal Family back in the Joseon Dynasty, while the Bukchon Hanok Village is a quaint neighborhood of traditional Korean homes known as hanok. Rent a colorful hanbok (traditional costume) to get the most likes on your social media posts. Plus: Entrance to the Palaces is free when you’re in costume.</p>

<h2>3. Dip your toes into the cool waters of the Cheonggyecheon Stream</h2>
<div id="attachment_12520" style="width: 2058px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Cheonggyecheon-Stream.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-12520" class="size-full wp-image-12520" src="http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Cheonggyecheon-Stream.jpg" alt="Cheonggyecheon Stream in downtown Seoul" width="2048" height="1152" srcset="https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Cheonggyecheon-Stream.jpg 2048w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Cheonggyecheon-Stream-300x169.jpg 300w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Cheonggyecheon-Stream-768x432.jpg 768w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Cheonggyecheon-Stream-1024x576.jpg 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-12520" class="wp-caption-text">Cheonggyecheon Stream in downtown Seoul</p></div>
<p>The Cheonggyecheon Stream, which runs throughout downtown Seoul, is the perfect example of urbanization coordinating with nature. This waterway was neglected for years, until the government pursued efforts to restore it in the early 2000s. Today, it’s one of the most popular public parks where people can sit by the river and even dip their toes into the cool waters pumped from the Han River.</p>

<h2>5. Get a lot of skincare and makeup freebies at Myeongdong</h2>
<div id="attachment_12523" style="width: 2058px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Myeong-dong.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-12523" class="size-full wp-image-12523" src="http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Myeong-dong.jpg" alt="Myeong-dong Street" width="2048" height="1152" srcset="https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Myeong-dong.jpg 2048w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Myeong-dong-300x169.jpg 300w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Myeong-dong-768x432.jpg 768w, https://zee.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Myeong-dong-1024x576.jpg 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-12523" class="wp-caption-text">Myeong-dong Street</p></div>
<p>Even though you haven’t been bitten by the K-pop craze, even you’d have to admit that Korean skincare is amazing. Myeongdong is a street where you can find popular beauty brands one stall after another, from Etude House to Tony Moly, Innisfree, Missha and Nature Republic. Not only do these stores sell their products at great deals, but they’d throw in a lot (and we mean a lot) of goodies on your way out—or heck, even if you just browse through their selections.</p>

<p>Of course, you can’t just zoom past all the sights without having decent sleep. But just because you’re off to dreamland doesn’t mean you should stop experiencing the best of what Korea has to offer. The T-Mark Grand Hotel, one of the city’s newest hotels, is highly recommended. Besides offering all the amenities you would ever need, it’s also right across the Nandaemun Market and just a short walking distance to Myeongdong.</p>

<p>If banana milk isn’t Korea’s national drink, then we don’t know what is. The drink, which comes in cute plastic bottles, makes for the perfect refreshment in between all the sightseeing. It’s also filling enough to stave off hunger pangs when necessary. Should you wish to bring some home, we recommend buying them at the airport after checking in.</p>
