Day 1 (Pre-surgery Tour): In the morning, visit the Songdo Cable Car and Ganshan Cultural Village → Have lunch at the snacks stalls in BIFF Plaza → In the afternoon, arrive at the JRYN Nampo branch for a consultation to finalize the treatment plan.
Day 2 (Treatment Day): In the morning, take a leisurely stroll around Gancheon Cultural Village or Lotte Department Store → Have lunch in Nampo-dong at noon → In the afternoon, go to the JRYN Nampo branch for the treatment → After the treatment, eat some snacks at BIFF Plaza to replenish energy → Then head directly to the airport.
The advantage of this arrangement is that patients have plenty of opportunities to engage in activities before the surgery, which helps relieve stress. After the surgery, there is no need to specifically search for tourist attractions; they can simply finish eating and exploring the area around the hospital before heading back to the car.

💡 Traffic tips: Several tricks to save time and effort
Firstly, it is very convenient to transfer to other subway lines at Nampo Station. The Line 1 provides direct connections to Seomyeon (where you can transfer to Line 2), Jagacheo, and Taesongdae. No matter where your next stop is, you don’t need to take any detours.
Secondly, if you need to carry a cold compress bag or post-operative medications, it is recommended to bring a small insulated bag. The JRYN Nampo branch will provide basic post-operative supplies, but if you have any special requirements, please inform the clinic in advance.
Thirdly, the BeautsGO platform offers online reservation services and Chinese-speaking customer support. Should you encounter any issues regarding transportation or travel arrangements, you can contact them in advance, and the clinic will provide you with detailed assistance.
📅 Booking recommendations: How much in advance is it best to book to ensure safety?
It is recommended to make a reservation on the BeautsGO platform 3 to 5 working days in advance, especially for those who plan to undergo multiple treatments. The advantages of making an advance reservation are as follows: ① You can choose your preferred time slot; ② The clinic will have sufficient time to prepare your records; ③ If it is necessary to adjust the treatment plan, there will be enough time for communication.
If your schedule is quite tight, you can also try contacting the BeautsGO customer service to request an emergency appointment, and the clinic will do its best to assist you. However, it is recommended not to schedule the procedure on the day of your arrival; it is safer to reserve at least half a day for rest before undergoing the treatment.
