Pyeongchang-gun 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. ❄Yongpyong Ski Resort❄ 📍: 715 Olympic Road, Daegwallyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do (Daegwallyeong-myeon) ⏰Business hours: 09:00-23:00 ⏰Opening period: December 2 Slope❄ Beginner + Intermediate 17, Advanced 12 🚡Facilities: 14 Seoul: 2.5 hours Other leisure facilities: Balwangsan Sightseeing Cable Car ⏰Business hours: 09:00 ~ 17:00 💰: Adult: 25,000 (round trip) / 21,000 (one way) Child: 21,000 (round trip), 17,000 (one way) Sled: ⏰Business hours: Weekdays: 10:00~17:00 Weekends: 09:00~18:00 Length: 200 PEAK ISLAND Water Park: ⏰Business hours 10:00-17:30 💰Whole day Adult: 50,000 won/Child: 39,000 won Afternoon (14:00~17:30): Adult: 39,000 won/Child: 29,000 won

Snow fall in Korea!

A #korea #winter moment to remember, this is during early December. It was early winter , the temperature was nice (around 7-10). I’m so lucky to experience snowfall during the stay and to see this colorful leaves as in fall season. 10 days seoul-busan-seoul trip was a wonderful experience for us. Challenging in handling 4 kids by our own has become a sweet memory journey for us. places visited in Busan: 1.) BFF ( Busan Film Festival) 2.) Jagalchi Market 3.) Sangdo Bay Station / Sangdo Sky Park Seoul: 1.) Itaewon 2.) Everland 3.) Yongpyeong Ski Resort + Monapark (the only resort that open in early winter) 4.) Namsan Tower 5.) Gyeoungbokgun Palace 6.) Lotte world 7.) Shopping in Myeongdong We skipped some other famous places because we already visited in the past few years. But here are other places suggestions (if you have more budget and time) 1.) Jeju Island 2.) Nami Island 3.) Gamcheon culture village (Busan) 4.) Haeundae Beach (Busan) 5.) Taejongdae Park (Busan) 6.) Gwangalli Bridge (Busan) 7.) Nampo Dong Market (Busan) 8.) Munghwa University 9.) Hanok Village 10.) E-Cruise I think that’s all, what i can say is Korea is one of my favourite country. Love the scenery , food and the people too. Can’t wait for our next trip! Thank you for reading guys!

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.

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!

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.
