SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Seoul Tourism Organization will host “SEOUL MY SOUL in TAIPEI,” a tourism promotion event to showcase the charms of Seoul at the Taipei 101 MRT Station Square, a famous tourist attraction in Taipei, Taiwan, from November 9 to 10, 2024.
The SEOUL MY SOUL in TAIPEI event will feature a variety of activities and experience programs centered around Seoul’s iconic landmark, the Hangang River. Taipei residents will feel as if they are touring the Hangang River, as they “experience” the Hangang River swimming pools, riding on a Ttareungi bike, and enjoying Seoul Ramyeon. In addition, there will be plenty of prizes that are useful for visitors to Seoul, such as the Discover Seoul Pass (48h) and the Climate Card for Tourists.
The event will target Taipei’s MZ generation with Instagrammable photo zones. At the “SEOULDAL Photo Zone”, visitors can take photos that make them appear as if they are on Seoul’s newest night tourism landmark, SEOULDAL, which opened in 2024. The “Feel ‘Soul’ Good Challenge Zone” will allow visitors to take Polaroid photos with an image of Jin of BTS, Seoul’s honorary tourism ambassador.
Experience programs will have visitors feeling as if they are at the Hangang River through a variety of missions and prizes. People visiting the “Throw Yourself in the Hangang River” activity will have the chance to find a surprise ticket in a ball pool inspired by Hangang River’s Moonlight Rainbow Fountain. The surprise tickets will include either a Discover Seoul Pass (48h) or tickets to the Taipei 101 Observatory. The “Ride on the Hangang River” experience simulates riding a Seoul Public Bicycle (“Ttareungi”) along the river. Participants who achieve a speed of 20 km/h within 30 seconds will be rewarded with a Climate Card for Tourists, allowing access to Seoul’s public transportation system for a day.
Visitors who participate in the photo zones and experience programs will receive “Seoul Coins,” which can be exchanged for “Seoul Goods”. After collecting Seoul Coins through various programs, visitors can participate in the “Seoul Goods Drawing” to win a variety of souvenirs, including Seoul Ramyeon, K-Snacks, Seoul Key Rings, and Hechi Luggage Tags.
SEOUL MY SOUL in TAIPEI is ready to meet Taipei residents at the Taipei 101 MRT Station Square from Saturday, November 9 to Sunday, November 10 between 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
