Dia de substituição do Ano Novo coreano

📣 Notas para viajantes

South Korea (Republic of Korea) is an East Asian nation recognized for its impressive balance of traditional customs and advanced modernity. Tourists can experience both well-preserved historical sites and cutting-edge global attractions, such as K-pop culture.

• Major traditional holidays (like Lunar New Year and Chuseok) follow the lunar calendar, meaning dates change annually.
• These holidays are significant family times, leading to heavy restrictions on travel and services.
• Expect widespread closures of banks, government offices, shops, and restaurants during public holidays.
• Use a spoon and metal chopsticks for dining. Avoid sticking chopsticks upright in rice or dishes, as this mimics funeral rites. Wait for the eldest person to start eating before beginning your meal. Excessive noise with utensils and lifting shared dishes while eating are considered impolite.
