Yongpyong Resort Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
When the skies became the unpaid actors
Probably the best day of my life!!! I've been to Pyeongchang a few times before but this time!!! The sky was so blue and bright not a single streak of clouds were spotted. Together with the pure white snow ❄️❄️❄️
Truly was a winter wonderland 🥹❄️
The winter snow scenery in Gangwon-do, South Korea is too shocking, presenting you with the romance unique to winter
The winter snow scenery in Gangwon-do, South Korea is too shocking, presenting you with the romance unique to winter. As the cradle of modern skiing culture in South Korea, Yongpyong Resort has the most skiing enthusiasts in South Korea. It has successfully hosted international skiing competitions and Winter Asian Games many times. It is also the venue for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. On the white ski slopes, I kept shooting those beautiful moments with my camera. It's so beautiful. On the ski slopes, there are only white snow and players in colorful ski suits. Nature's favor to this place is more than just snow. The scenery of the mountaintop snow trails and forest snow trails is also very special. The fluttering snowflakes seem to be elves coming to the world, dressing up winter like a myth. The highest peak of the ski resort, Mount Wang, is the shooting location of the Korean drama 'Winter Sonata'. Here is the most beautiful scenery line in the world. The style of the snow friends in the season is like a snow mountain flying fox. They face the wind and snow, and fly proudly on the snow-capped peaks. Not only can you ski, but you can also feel lucky and joyful to see the ice hanging scenery. On the crystal clear forest snow trail, the snow friends are jumping and galloping, indulging in the beautiful scenery of ice and snow.

Korean Ski Recommendation - Yongpyong Resort
Today I'm going to recommend a super fun ski resort I've been to - Yongpyong Resort. Yongpyong Ski Resort is the earliest ski resort in Korea, opened in 1975, now operating 28 slopes and 14 lifts (including 1 cable car). In addition, 6 slopes including the Rainbow Slope have been recognized by the International Ski Federation (FIS) and are hosting various international competitions. The appropriate accommodation capacity is 20,000 people. Various shapes are set up on the top of the ski resort for tourism development, and TV dramas such as 'Winter Sonata' and 'Goblin' were filmed here. As the area with the largest snowfall in Korea, you can ski in a high-quality environment. The surrounding scenery is also very good, you can feel the breath of nature.

Alpaca Farmland at Balwangsan
#fallishere
At the Yongpyong Resort mountain area there is this Alpaca Farmland opened to visitors, coupled with forest retreat zone. From Yongpyong Resort we can take a gondola to the top of the mountain, and there is a farmland with 20 Alpacas being raised there. You can purchase some food to feed them and even pet them as there are very gentle. Moving forward there is a forest retreat zone with some deck chairs for visitors to just relax and calm down one's mind while listening to the birds chirping and crickets buzzing. It is a very ideal pleace for a weekend retreat from the bustling coty life.
My 1st Ski Experience
Imagine a winter wonderland that beckons you to step into the realm of snow-clad peaks and endless adventure. My journey led me to the iconic Yongpyong Ski Resort in Korea—a haven where dreams of skiing and soaring amidst the pristine snowscape come true. From my first steps on the slopes to my exhilarating ascent on skis, this experience was a blend of thrill, awe, and empowerment.

First-Time Fervor: For a novice, skiing might seem daunting, but Yongpyong Ski Resort offers a friendly learning curve. The excitement of trying something new adds a layer of thrill to your adventure.
Snow Sport Euphoria: As I strapped on my skis, the world transformed. The sensation of gliding on snow, the rush of the wind—it's a symphony of freedom and adrenaline.
Guided Learning: The resort's ski instructors make the journey seamless. Their guidance and expertise help you gain confidence on the slopes, even if you're new to skiing.
Ski Resort Infrastructure: From ski rentals to well-groomed slopes, Yongpyong Ski Resort boasts top-notch facilities that cater to skiers of all levels.
Awe-Inspiring Scenery: Every descent is a feast for the eyes. As you ski down the slopes, the panoramic views of snow-covered landscapes unfold like a masterpiece.
Nighttime Enchantment: The adventure continues after the sun sets. Night skiing under the starlit sky is a surreal experience that transforms the slopes into a glittering playground.

Good location within the ski area, with definitely stay there again
Skiing in Korea
Lovely European styled resorts with living room and kitchen. Super near to the skii slopes, plenty of eateries and convenient stores on site. Rental of skii equipment and skii lift etc could be alittle overwhelming for a foreigner as some institutions were not translated to English. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time skiing and snow sledding. Only regret was 2 days 2 nights were too short! Would return again!
Odaesan National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Woijeongsa Temple
#asiatrip #nationalpark #naturalwonders #urbanexplorer
Woljeongsa Temple is located in the dense forest of a valley found in the east of the Odaesan Mountain in Dongsan-ri, Jinbu-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do. Woljeongsa Temple, which is found at a quiet place where the vital force of Manwolsan Mountain has gathered, exudes a quiet and peaceful beauty surrounded by evergreen needleleaf trees. In front of it, Geumgangyeon, where Manchurian trouts swim in the clear and cold water, flows displaying a beautiful scenery.
Beautiful autumn view of Odaesan NationalPark
#fallingseason
I heard the news of Mt. Seorak's autumn leaves. On Seonjae-gil of Odaesan Mountain in Pyeongchang, which I visited as a tourist destination in Gangwon-do, there were colorful red autumn leaves that seemed to be fast. A beautiful thousand-year-old forest road in Odaesan National Park, which is considered a famous maple spot in Pyeongchang. It's a 20-ri road that runs from Woljeongsa Temple to Sangwonsa Temple, and it's also a pilgrimage route to find me. Personally, it is a place recommended as a tourist destination in Gangwon-do in autumn because you can enjoy beautiful autumn leaves and walk along the valley. The 2023 Dapungsi at the foot of Odaesan Mountain is going to be pretty from now on. This week, I think next week it will show the mood of late autumn.
