Travel information

Be careful ! The workshop is held at the Natural Sciences Campus located in Suwon,

which should not be confused with another campus (Humanities and Social Sciences) in Seoul.

The best option is to take a taxi (around 15min, 13000KRW ≈ 9USD).
Otherwise, you may first take a metro (line no.1, dark blue) from Suwon stn. to Sungkyunkwan Univ. stn.[Suwon -- Hwaseo (Starfield Suwon) -- Sungkyunkwan Univ.] and then follow the next item.

10min by bus (https://naver.me/GVV8afac) or 20min walk

Take a metro (Suin--Bundang line, yellow) to Suwon Station [Suwon City Hall -- Maegyo -- Suwon].

There is also a bus (+10min walk) route directly to the venue, see the routes with bus no. 92 or 92-1 in https://naver.me/xpjOHAqM

If you take a taxi without using an application, show the driver the following sentence:

성균관대학교 화학관(반도체관)으로 가주세요, 감사합니다.

(=We are going to SKKU chemistry building/semiconductor engineering hall, thanks)

Complimentary parking will be provided, please ask one of the organizers for your validation ticket.

(1) Sungkyunkwan Univ. station (metro line no.1)

(yellow circles indicate the Exit number of the stn.)

(2) SKKU Guest House (next to Dormitory Ji-Gwan)

(3) Workshop place (Chemistry building, no.33)

If it is your first time in Korea and Suwon, we recommend the following hotel adjacent to Suwon Station:

which offers a special rate of 100 USD/night. If you would like to make a reservation, please contact one of the organizers as soon as possible.

You can also find more affordable hotels, around 30-60 USD/night, near Suwon Station or Suwon City Hall Station, see the map below. The shaded areas are the entertainment district, which can feel hectic or sketchy at late night, so we recommend avoiding them.

Take the airport limousine 4100 and get off at Suwon Station/Novotel Suwon where you can immediately find the hotel. If you stay at the guesthouse, we recommend you to grab a taxi there. Suwon City Hall station is 2 stops away from Suwon Station on the Suin--Bundang line (yellow), passing Maegyo Station.
Otherwise, you can take a taxi directly from the airport. It will cost around 80,000KRW ≈ 55USD and take 1+ hour (both may vary depending on traffic conditions). A black one (deluxe) or a big one (jumbo/van) cost 1.5 -- 2 times more.
In either case, if you are headed to the guesthouse (or Dormitory Ji-gwan for check-in) you can show the taxi driver the following sentence:

수원에 있는 성균관대학교 자연과학캠퍼스 기숙사 지관으로 부탁드립니다, 감사합니다.

(=Please take me to the Dormitory Ji-Gwan at the Natural Sciences Campus of Sungkyunkwan University in Suwon, thanks)
