The route
Walk it
Follow the numbers in order and they add up to one walkable route. Confirm train and bus times once more before you set out.
Start with the familiar
Bibimbap helps visitors understand the city, but it should open the route rather than close the food story.
Add practical facts
Specific shop pages should only claim hours, menus, cards, and reservation needs after current confirmation.
Route sanity check
Before using the page in the field, confirm current hours, weather, and the first exit so the route stays useful rather than decorative.
