Koreans believe that people born in the Year of the Snake are smart. Because in the Chinese zodiac, the snake symbolizes wisdom. However, stories about snakes usually portray snakes as scary creatures. The appearance of snakes, the aggressiveness of some snakes, and their deadly venom have created an instinctive fear in humans. Therefore, snakes are portrayed as creatures that follow the transcendent and punish evildoers.
Although humans are afraid of snakes, they also believe that snakes are sacred. This is because I am amazed by the way snakes grow by shedding their skins and their survival instincts of disappearing in winter and reappearing in spring. Due to these characteristics, snakes travel between different dimensional worlds and are even considered sacred creatures that bring blessings and prosperity to humans.
In this way, snakes have become scary and righteous, disgusting and wonderful, familiar and sacred, and live with us. To celebrate the Year of the Snake, this exhibition attempts to examine the lives of humans who live with snakes. I hope you have a prosperous Lunar New Year and everything goes according to plan, overcoming the complex human mind and creating a thousand faces for an animal called snake.

It has the most beautiful toilet in the world. The price on Ctrip is very good, almost half of the official price. You can get a hamburger set meal by adding about 10 RMB. Although I encountered some difficulties in getting the hamburger set meal at the hamburger shop at the beginning, the first clerk was very rude and said no. Then another clerk guided me to exchange the ticket first and come back later.

It was a great show, great artists, great dancing. The whole hall was filled, the artists often interacted with the girls, but most of all with those who were sitting across the stage in VIP seats. The hall is not large, so you can see everything very close. You don&#39;t know the seat in advance, only when you come to pick up your ticket, the ticket office opens an hour before the show.

you can climb up on foot in about 1.5 - 2 hours, from the side of Myeongdong there is a nice village, which is worth a walk. If you have a hard time climbing, it is better to use the funicular. Also, there are almost no kiosks selling water along the way

A lot of halal restaurants around this area, can get crowded at peak times but still a vibe. Better to go shops at other branch instead of myeongdong if want to avoid crowd.
