Korea Trip 2010 - Day 3, 4 & 5
Day started with the domestic flight to Gimpo Airport where we proceed to...
Everland Resort
A theme park in Yongin, a city in Gyeonggi-do province, South Korea. It is South Korea's largest theme park. Along with its main attractions, Everland also includes a zoo and a water park known as Caribbean Bay. Everland is operated by Samsung Everland, which is a subsidiary of the Samsung Group.
Pretty flowers~!
Took the Sky Way (??) to get to the other side which is the Safari World, which unfortuntely, we never get to go, coz the whole place was so crowded!
This baby monkey is so cute.. I wonder is it the same one that appears in SNSD's Hello Baby?
Love the colors.
The ONLY ride i took lol!
The ONLY decent enough cherry blossom photo that i managed to take. Most flowers already died :(
Goodbye to Everland and off we go to Yeoju Premium Outlet. Which is really a waste of time (for us la) since most of the things there are branded stuff and we won't buy (aren't that cheap anyway!). The only shop we went into is Nike factory outlet and Addias.
It was already quite late by the time we reach our accomodation for the night. Cottage style called Club Di-art.
The next morning.. after check out
Woljeong-sa Temple 月精寺
Located at Gangwon Province.
ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) ride
And so.. i rode this..
Gangneung Unification Park
In September 1996, a North Korean submarine got stranded on some underwater rocks forcing the crew to get out and try to return to North Korea. This prompted a deadly manhunt that lasted over a month (25 of the 26 crew members were shot dead and the South Korean casualties, civil and military, tallied 17). The warship has a less turbulent history (she was given by the Americans in 1972 and gradually turned into an exhibition after the Gulf War).
The night's accomodation before we move on to the city (Seoul), is some place that i wouldn't forget.
Saint Hiyan Hotel
Looks normal right? However, we are the ONLY group who stayed in this hotel for the night. It was very quiet, and seems like only got 1 staff on duty. 真的是鸟不生蛋的地方.. Was told by tour guide that this hotel is very packed during winter, as there is a snow-ski place behind the hotel.
Sheeps! Took this photo from the hotel room balcony.
Our tour package suppose to include hotspring, but the whole group voted against it and all decided not go, instead use the time for more shopping instead.
