Just booked my flights for December. Now gotta make some plans. Any must go place?

Ski resorts for december.

i went to nami island last week ~~ personally if i went there by subway not by shuttle bus ~ probably 2 hours is more than enough for me..

expected date of arrival is the date of your arrival. not the date you use the kr pass

yup. it's me lol.. btw, i'm not frequent to Jeju. i'm frequent to Seoul only lol. actually Christmas for Korean is just another extra celebration. not a really big celebration like Chuseok or etc.. not all celebrate although there is quite a number of Christian but majority is Buddhist. i don't think Jeju have any event as most of the people there are more traditions haha..

if you don't plan to spend a lot of time at Namiseom should not be an issue. but you will have an issue at the rail bike. fyi, it's better to reserve or purchase the ticket before you go to the rail bike as tickets almost sold out most of the time especially weekend or certain timing.. somemore the timing is not frequent. if you reach there and the ticket sold out, you can opt for another timing but it's a waste of time lor.. cz u need to wait for few hours unless you stroll around nearby places and return to the park

timing: 9 am / 11 am / 1 pm / 3pm / 5pm.

We purchase most of the mask from Myeondong. Mostly is 10kwon (10+10) for 20 pieces.

And to my surprise, Lotte Mart is selling Beyond mask for 10+10 for 9,500 won only. Didn't saw any shop at Myeondong selling Beyond mask for this price..

I guess you have to first survey Lotte Mart price first before going to Myeondong.

Hi Hong,

I go skiing every year to SK so IMO unless you are very fit and can learn to ski in a very short time, gondola rental is not necessary for first timers. When learning you will mostly use the bunny trails. Gondola's will take you to the higher trails and you need to be able to ski down as there is no way down EXCEPT by skiing or snowboarding down. If you are at the ski jump for more than 2 days than by day 2 or 3 you can try the beginner trails.

You are correct that from airport to Alpensia will take 3 hours. If you go during the weekend it will be longer as many Koreans head for the slopes during the weekend.

i asked the guesthouse owner to book the ticket so shouldn't have problem. my only problem is don't know which place to go first. haha

if i go nami 1st. let say i depart from seoul at 9am, will i arrive gapyeong at 10/11am? travel by subway

have to depends on which station you are departing and whether you wanna straight go by normal train or transfer line using itx train

Can I know is the rail bike in nami island itself? If not how to go? From nami how to go petite france? Appreciate your sharing. 1st time to seoul for 4 nights and 2 nights busan. Thanks

Rail bike is not in nami island itself. Take bus then take train to go.
Petitie france also have tour bus from Cheongpyeong train station.

Whats the name of that place with rail bike? Worth to go? Thanks

just got back from korea.
nami also have rail bike but i think its more suitable for kids
i have a lot of korean won balance from my trip for sale..pm me asap

it called gangchon rail park. if you love sight seeing you can give it a try.

Hello cynthusc!

I'll be heading to seoul from 10th till 20th November..

Was reading around and YongPyong is available during that period..

Since I've never ski-ed there before I was wondering is it better to get a tour or just a d-i-y itinerary will do? I'm not really fluent in korean which I think might be a big problem

Thank you so much for your time

actually there are a few railbike in Korea. to name a few is Jeongseon Auraji Rail Bike & Samcheok Ocean Railbike but both is at Gangwon do area of cz their scenery is better compare to Gangchon Railbike

if have extra time to spare can go la.. can even go try experience the Sea Train..

is it easy to find halal food in korea?

if you are in Seoul shouldn't be an issue. can find halal food in Itaewon

how about busan?

yes but not much. you may need to google to find the place
