Hoengseong Hanu Festival is an annual free-entry festival that take place in Hoengseong County in Gangwon Province. It is said that the climate and the environment is perfect for raising cattle.
Haneul Park 하늘공원
Once a landfill site between 1978 and 1993. Luckily for the Landfill Recovery Program, which began in 1996, we are able to enjoy the wonderful scenery now!The best time to come will be in Summer or Autumn, where all the flowers are blooming. Haneul Park is also famous for its Seoul Eulalia Festival 서울억새축제, which happens around early to mid October every year.
Made up of 5 parts; Pyounghwa Park, Haneul Park, Noeul Park, Nanjicheon Park and Nanji Hangang Park.
To do (for FREE!!) in Seoul
Travelling is always expensive taking into consideration flight ticket, accommodation, food and entrance fee to attractions. Here is a list of attraction you may visit for free to save that few thousand won for your favourite food or a pretty dress.Haircut in Seoul - beauté de marshall (Ewha)
My previous post of haircut in Seoul is the most viewed posts on my blog. Thank you all for the support! For those who might have missed it here is the link:
Following the succession of the post, I decided to write up another one. This time it's a shop in Ewha, which my 도우미 a.k.a. Korean language helper recommended me.
Understand Avenue
It means to help the minority ("Under") to be independent ("Stand").
A project by Lotte Duty Free. Built on a land of almost 4,000 sqm using second-hand shipping containers.
Shopping in Seoul - Yeongdeungpo Station 영등포역
People go to Korea for various reasons, and shopping is definitely one of the top 3 reasons why I loves Korea so much!
When it comes to shopping in Seoul, few locations will always pop-up in people's mind:
- Dongdaemun 동대문
- Ewha 이화
- Hongdae 홍대
- Myeongdong 명동
- Express Bus Terminal 고속버스터미널
But there's another shopping place which I recently discovered during my latest trip to Seoul - Yeongdeungpo Station 영등포구청. Yeongdeungpo Station is located on Line 1 of the Seoul Subway.
Solo dining in Seoul: Ichimen 이찌멘
Eating alone can be a hassle sometimes, especially when you're alone in Seoul. That's why on my first trip to Seoul, which happened to be a solo-trip, I did not eat a lot; even if I do, it's pretty much on the go.
Luckily for us, some restaurants have heard our woe and Ichimen is one of them.
Seoul Land 서울랜드
There's a few Theme Parks in Seoul:
- Lotte World 롯데월드
- Everland에버랜드
- Seoul Land 서울랜드
- Wolmi Theme Park 월미테마파크
Technically, only Lotte World can be considered as a theme park located in Seoul as the other 3 are located in either Gyeonggi-do or Incheon. The most visited and convenient to go Theme Park is definitely Lotte World. The second easiest to reach Theme Park goes to Seoul Land.
Similarly to Everland, Seoul Land is an all-outdoor Theme Park. Not as big as compared to Lotte World or Everland, neither does Seoul Land has more exciting rides than the two. But if you're looking for a Theme Park that does not have up-to-2-hours queue, or if you have young kids, or if you're not a thrill-ride seeker then Seoul Land is your answer.
Cafe in Seoul 서울에 있는 카페
Other than skin care products, K-pop and cosmetic surgery, Korea, especially Seoul, is also famous for their wide variety of cafe available. From animal cafe, to vintage, to nature concept, to good food, Seoul has it all! Most importantly of them all - INSTAGRAM-WORTHY!!Let's look at some of the cafes that I have visited:
Transportation card
Korea's transportation cards, a.k.a. T-Money, can be bought at any ticket vending machines inside subway station or any convenience store bearing this logo:
My recommendation is to get hold of one T-money from any of the convenience store at the Airport or from the top-up machine in the Sunway the moment you alight, you never know when you will need it! :)
So how the transport card works is it will automatically deduct 1,250 won the moment you enter the gantry. It will deduct the necessary amount when you exit out from the station, starting from 100won. If your stop is within the 1,250 won range then no money will be deducted from your card.
If let's say you've reached your destination but your card does not have enough amount to exit, don't worry! There's always a top-up machine available inside the gantry.
Can't find it? The just just press the help button! But be prepared to speak to the staff!
