And this snow field is also near the resort, skiing tired to soak a soup to eat a barbecue is no problem, the traffic is convenient! Don't rush!

1) Oak Valley Resort in the original state
Located at Oak Valley Ski Resort in Wonju, Gangwon Province, it is just a short one and a half hour drive from Seoul. Backed by oak forest, it is especially popular with lovers of the vast ski runs.
Today I would like to share with you my first experience of skiing. I grew up in a tropical area, so I can say that I am a Super Noob when it comes to skiing! Try to share what I've learned and hope you don't make the same mistakes I did.
This time I used the "guest road" - English name KLOOK, reported the Korean ski tour group in Oak Valley - I heard that it is a place where more local Koreans come to play. My hotel is in Myeongdong and the ski slopes are only 90 minutes away by bus. The tour fee is around HK $500 per person and includes:
Round trip bus 🚌 (from Hongdae/Myeongdong)
60 minutes of skiing instruction
Ski pants
Ski equipment
Ski resort tickets 🎫
Activity time: 7:15 am departure - Play until 4:00 am bus back to Seoul.
Because it is the first time to ski, I also brought my own thick coat! You don't have to bring anything. - Where we're going they'll put us in our ski clothes, and I picked up a random outfit that I called ugly! Where we also rented gloves and ski goggles. If you own sunglasses, you don't have to rent ski goggles. But it's nice to take pictures with ski goggles. Two pairs of gloves (5,000 won each) and a pair of ski goggles (10,000 won each) cost 20,000 won to rent.
When I get to Oak Valley, I just need to put my bag on the bus, and the driver will take care of it for me. So my suggestion is not to take too many things, just bring water + dry food + passport + lunch money. The most important ones are masks and sunblocks! I feel a little darker because I didn't bring it to the door with a little BB Cream with sun protection.
After the one-minute ski lesson, we bought the ticket for the cable car (35,000 won per ticket) - went to the beginner Hill Wave skiing, skiing down felt a little scary because I do not know how to brake, so only play once and then tired.
If you're coming to Seoul to ski, consider Oak Valley. Overall, it was fun!

2) Vivaldi park Ski Resort (비발디파크)
Vivaldi park Ski Resort not only offers a variety of difficult pistes for skiers, but also a fun snow park and sleigh rafting.
Take advantage of friends coming to travel, stop by to unlock the first ski in Korea
Located in Gangwon Province, it is the largest ski resort in Korea, with a total of 12 pistes (5 intermediate, 6 intermediate and 1 top). Because it is not easy to snow in South Korea, the ski resorts are basically artificial snow, so the snow will feel harder to slide, and the fall is also very feeling
Skiing in South Korea can be regarded as a national sport, many are the size of the whole family to slide together, any child skating is better than I do not have to be afraid of learning, or you can find a coach on the spot!
We bought the ski package tour on the flying pig, you can choose to start from Hongdae or Myeongdong, the bus to the ski resort about 1 hour and 50 minutes, on time after the assembly, the tour guide on the bus can speak Chinese and English, can not speak Korean is completely OK.
Want to experience the sea world/Snow Kingdom can also be combined with skiing to make choices, we selected a two-day ski ticket for 7 hours a day, according to the actual entry/exit time, matinee 8:30am-4:30/ night 6:30am -10:30, want to ski well and full of people to allocate their own time, Coach/equipment rental is on-site and additional at your own expense (credit card/cash) do not want to stay overnight can also choose the day trip, the return is more than 7 o 'clock to Hongdae/Myeongdong
To remind you that the hotel can not checkin advance, before check-in can not help keep luggage, must be unified in the locker, the hotel locker can only use cash/ski resort is the card, the two sides are a little different, remember to prepare some cash, the card is best with IC chip, some machine magnetic strip card will brush but
In general, it is still very recommended that friends who want to ski in South Korea come to this snow resort experience, after all, it is not far from the city, and the facility planning is perfect. Anyone who recommends other ski resorts is also welcome to leave a message to me.

Go to Chunchuan must punch a ranch, into the door to buy a ticket, seven thousand won, two people buy together will give a small cup of grass, just into the door there are small rabbits to feed, are very small and lovely rabbits, there are chickens and peacocks behind, and then is the endless lawn, amusement measures, children are particularly many, all kinds of swings are also a lot, photos are also very beautiful oh.
I can get close to the sheep and they are in the natural environment. The way they walk around and eat grass is so novel. Although dirty, it does not affect the cute sheep! These sheep are basically not afraid of people, and they are very cooperative in touching and feeding them. Maybe it just rained. The lambs are dirty. Rather than visiting the ranch, it is more like walking into an ink painting that comes out of a scroll. The misty day and the endless grass and the mountains surrounding it in the distance sit on the roots of the trees, and the goats run around around them. It is like entering a sense of sight in a movie.
There are lots of little animals in the pasture, as well as docile horses and super small gazelles with clear cows in their eyes. In the suburbs of Chuncheon, sisters are highly recommended to punch in
Feed the animals, be sure to go to the mountains to see where the lake is too beautiful, very original ecology, punch the holy land, take pictures.
It will be more convenient to drive myself, I took a bus to go, walk a long way, 3-1 bus direct, but only three times a day, very difficult to wait, I started from Gangwon University, take the No. 9 bus to walk more than 3,000 meters, is relatively lucky, hit the car. It's pretty hard to run into an empty taxi up there. Luck.
Along the mountain road all the way up, there is a viewing area, the scenery is a great. Overlooking the North Han River and the whole pasture, one can't help but sigh that the beauty of nature is so healing. There are many mountain lawns and scenic areas throughout the ranch, and there is also a cafe in the ranch.
In the evening, I ate authentic Chuncheon teppon chicken, packed potato bread and set foot on the journey home. Not a single one will drop! Had a very fulfilling day in Chuncheon!
