To meet people's daily transportation needs, "subway" or "rapid transit system" has become a major public facility in many advanced countries' big cities. In world-class metropolises like Tokyo and Seoul, their subway systems not only boast decades or even centuries of history, but also offer extensive coverage, high station density, fast travel speeds, and frequent services, 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 every 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 culture. Moreover, in this era where the "quality" of travel is valued more than the "quantity," many people are indeed planning or practicing their "subway journeys."
