Features: To meet people's daily transportation needs, "subway" or "light rail system" has become a major public facility under key development in many advanced countries' big cities. Cities like Tokyo and Seoul, these world-class metropolises, not only boast subway systems with histories spanning decades or even centuries, but also offer extensive coverage, high station density, fast travel speeds, and frequent service, making them incredibly convenient. For local residents, "taking the subway" is not just about using a "means of transportation," but often more of a "lifestyle choice." These subway-savvy cities are also often popular tourist destinations rich in culture and scenery, attracting thousands upon thousands of visitors each year.
As a "tourist" from outside the area, if you have enough time, riding the subway, getting on and off with locals, visiting those charming attractions listed in the travel guide one stop at a time, indulging in local cuisine, shopping for memorable artworks and souvenirs, or even casually wandering into markets, parks, schools, and convenience stores is undoubtedly the best way to deeply experience the local atmosphere. Moreover, in this era where the "quality" of travel is valued more than the "quantity," many people are indeed planning or practicing their "subway tours."
