Today is our first day out of seoul and we're heading to seoraksan!
I was quite anxious because after reading a few blogs, some failed to get into the national park due to high traffic and crowd and not many gave detailed infos on how to get there
woke up at 4-ish i think
oh- my- god..i was dead tired
so our first traveling leg is to get to seoul express bus station (line 3, 7)
took us awhile to locate the bus terminal because the info that we got were wrong online
and take note! the bus terminal is in the same building as the subway station
do not leave the premise
just ascend the escalator and look for the seoul express bus terminal inside the building
we finally managed to find the ticket counter after 20 mins of walking blindly and bought the 7.30am ticket to Sokcho
yes! you have to get to sokcho to get to seoraksan
our bus ticket
hello~! we bought gimbap to eat on the bus since we didn't have time to eat beforehand
on the way to sokcho
we're finally at sokcho bus terminal
in order to get to seoraksan national park
cross the road from the bus station to the nearest bus stop and take bus no 7 or 7-1 to the last stop =) and yes! you're there
us walking to the bus stop
finally at seoraksan national park
3500 won per person for the entrance fee
it was still quite green at that point of time, 2 weeks later and it would be all yellow and red
nothing is complete without ice cream
on the way up taking the cable car
even at non-peak period, it's already quite packed
so be as early as possible if you want to beat the crowd
like sardines inside the cable car
at the observatory deck
took a 15 mins walk up the mountain and I stayed there because I'm really bad at steepness
my fear for hiking or anything steep like escalators and stairs is absurd
just taking pics while waiting for bum as he climb to the peak
pictures taken by bum on the peak
sweaty bum is back! the sun was horrendous
after that we came back down to this buddha temple
found a very old temple and I couldn't resist taking cute pictures
after an hour of walking around, we decided to leave the park and we took the bus back to the bus terminal but we were super hungry , so we went on a hunt for food around the area
managed to find a very small local restaurant owned by a old couple
english doesn't work at all so I had to utilize my horrible korean once again and luckily they understand hahaha
food is here! mine is pepper beef soup and i've forgotten what bum has ordered LOL
so cute =D
after lunch, we embarked on our journey back to seoul
and after 4 hours, we've finally reached the express bus terminal station
it seems like we kept eating but i swear it's many hours later when we had our dinner
we went back to yeongdeungpo to hunt for dinner because we were really excited after last night's discover
we finally settled at this korean bbq place -hwa dong sam
OMG! no regrets! 26,000 won for this set and I'm very sure that we wouldn't get this amount and quality of food at this price in Malaysia
knackered after a day of traveling
so good! recommend this place!
after dinner, we just walked around the area and called it a day~
stay tuned for day 4 =D
