Things to Do  

Surrounding farmland

Surrounding farmland, Songt'an

 Ewingjr98 Says:  Songtan is in a rural area of Korea and is surrounded by farmland. Wandering through the countryside will show you just how hard the Koreans work to get by, often working in the fields by hand. 

Songtan -- See the town

Songtan -- See the town, Songt'an

 Ewingjr98 Says:  No, there are not a lot of great historic sites, museums, or classic Korean architecture in Songtan, but that doesn't mean you can't learn a lot about Korean culture in the area. Though the architecture is nothing special for Korea, it is definitely different from in the US... 

Hotels  

Capital Hotel

Capital Hotel, Songt'an

 Ewingjr98 Says:  We stayed at the Capital Hotel for 35 USD/night. Ms. Lim, the owner, was a great host and made our trip enjoyable. The hotel has a good, free laundry service and a free shuttle around Songtan. It also has internet access, juice and coffee, and a free pool table at the... 

Restaurants  

Happy Teriyaki: Happy Teriyaki

Happy Teriyaki: Happy Teriyaki, Songt'an

 Ewingjr98 Says:  Compared to an American restaurant, Happy Teriyaki is about 2 out of 4 stars... compared to other Songtan restaurants, it rates about 3 1/2 stars. It is one of the few Japanese restaurants in town.We always enjoyed coming here for their tempura dinners and soups. The inside... 

Nightlife  

Big 10 Club

Big 10 Club, Songt'an

 Ewingjr98 Says:  The Big Ten Club is a nice quiet bar to grab a beer and talk sports. The music is mostly classic rock and they have a few TVs.It's a nice quiet second-floor place above the hustle and bustle of the nearby juicy bars and shops hawking rip-off American junk. 

Irish Pub

Irish Pub, Songt'an

 Ewingjr98 Says:  There is a tiny Irish Pub in Songtan, owned by a Korean woman named Carrot. It is a nice, new place with a good atmosphere and friendly staff.We sat down here one afternoon and enjoyed a few moderately priced draft beers in a newer, cleaner bar in town. Very small, but good... 

Juicy Bars...

Juicy Bars..., Songt'an

 Ewingjr98 Says:  Songtan is full of 'Juicy Bars' which have dancers from Korea, the Philippines, and the former USSR. The girls will try to get men to buy them drinks for about 8 USD each (a drink for anyone else is about 2 USD). In exchange for the drink, they will sit and talk to you for a... 

Transportation  

Seoul Subway

Seoul Subway, Songt'an

 Ewingjr98 Says:  The Seoul subway was recently expanded south and now has stops near Songtan and even further south. This will greatly improve transportation to and from the area.It costs about 1500 Won to get from downtown Seoul to Songtan station, and the 63 km route takes more than an... 

Shopping  

Shinjiang Shopping Arcade

Shinjiang Shopping Arcade, Songt'an

 Ewingjr98 Says:  This area is one of Korea's best shopping districts. It has a huge variety of stores selling everything from traditional Korean pottery to Nike shoes. This is a great place to shop for souvenirs, custom made suits, coats and jackets, and Korean art work. Typically the prices... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Leave Town!

Leave Town!, Songt'an

 Ewingjr98 Says:  Many American soldiers spend their entire year in the bars of Songtan. For them, I say LEAVE TOWN! Songtan's sleaze and dirt represent all that the rest of Korea is not. Even to just go for a run or bike ride through the farmland around town can be an eye-opening experience.
