Exploring Korea's Heritage at the Korean Folk Village

#folkactivities #100waysoftravel #korea Visiting the Korean Folk Village was a fantastic experience. The beautifully reconstructed buildings and vibrant performances showcased Korea's rich history and culture. The dancers in traditional hanboks brought stories to life with their graceful movements and lively music. We also enjoyed engaging in folk activities like dancing together and walking to the prayers area. These experiences enriched our understanding of Korean heritage. Overall, it's a must-see for anyone wanting to appreciate Korea’s culture in a lively setting. #koreatrip #culture #activities #history #performance

🇰🇷 Everland Four Seasons Garden

#fallcolors #100WaysOfTravel Have you been to Everland when you go to Seoul? You must come here and you can just sign up for those round trip tour bus to come here else you can take the public transport. The best time to visit Everland is during Spring and Autumn and there are the 2 great seasons to have interesting landscape to enjoy at the Four Seasons Garden. During the Autumn season in late August to Early November, the Four Seasons Garden is landscape into a super nice flora garden and the surrounding forested area also changes their leaves colour. This season also coincides with Halloween and you can spot Halloween decorations too. #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

🇰🇷 Everland Four Seasons Garden

#fallcolors #100WaysOfTravel Seoul is always a beautiful place to visit and you must plan 1 day for Everland. This is a large theme park with many exciting rides and themed attractions for all locals and tourists. If you explore the themepark by going in a clock wise direction then you will arrive to the Four Seasons Garden as the last attraction. So if you want to skip the rides and come here, then you will need to walk in a anti-clock direction. This is a very beautiful garden showing the seasonal flowers with different themes. Usually in late September to October, you will see Halloween theme and the surrounding trees also slowly enter into fall season. You will see the theme park is surrounded by many trees and the colour gradient of their leaves hanging colours are also different. #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

Immersed in Tradition: Experiencing Suwon Folk Village Performances

#folkactivities #100waysoftravel #southkorea #suwon #koreanfun During my visit to Suwon Folk Village, the traditional performances were truly captivating and brought Korea’s rich history to life. One of the highlights was watching the horseback martial arts show, where skilled riders galloped across the field, demonstrating incredible archery and combat techniques. It felt like stepping back in time, witnessing the agility and precision of ancient Korean warriors. I was also fascinated by the reenactment of a traditional wedding ceremony, with performers dressed in beautiful hanboks, showcasing the intricate rituals that have been passed down for generations. The energy of the farmer’s music and dance, or "nongak," was contagious—vibrant drumming and lively dances filled the air, celebrating the agricultural roots of Korean culture. These performances added so much depth to my experience, allowing me to fully appreciate the beauty and vitality of traditional Korean life.

Animal kingdom in Korea!

#animalcontact #100waysoftravel I never imagine I would have gone to a foreign country and visiting a place full of cute animals, especially here in Korea! We entered Everland expecting to be enjoying the rides, food and kid vibes but here is the cute zoo that has got some animal that Malaysia does not have. We came here during Halloween period and night time was another situation - we get chased by mummies!

Everland: Wildlife Experience

Everland features a wildlife zoo that offers a rich and diverse wildlife experience. Here, you can find rare animals from around the world, including lions, giraffes, elephants, and monkeys. Visitors can observe these animals up close and learn about them. The zoo offers various interactive activities, such as animal shows and feeding sessions, allowing you to experience the living environment of wild animals firsthand. Personally, I enjoy the feeding sessions the most, as you can get very close to the animals, which is quite fun.

Beautiful Autumn of Korean Folk Village

#fallingseason Let's go to the Korean Folk Village to enjoy the autumn outing quickly! I want to see the autumn leaves, but personally, it's hard to climb, so I have to make a big decision, but the folk village is flat, so it's great to be able to walk around like a walk It's already colorful from the entrance, so it must have become much more colorful now. The folk village is surrounded by mountains, so it is beautiful to see the mountains colored with gradation.

Cafe Street off the yellow line

Bojeongdong Cafe Street located off Jukjeon station. Then about 12 minutes walk or you can take a bus which is only a stop away. They have a lot of cafes, a few restaurants and shops. A fair amount of cafes and restaurants have outdoor seating. You can enjoy the outdoors while eating or drinking. There are lights that hangs, I think it would be beautiful to see at night. I had lunch at a pizza place. They have a klin oven. Afterwards I went to a cafe called Cafe No Name for an afternoon drink. #korea #cafe #yongin #Bojeongdongcafestreet #cafestreet #gyeonggi #Gyeonggido #Yellowline

Most beautiful theme park: Everland💙

Everland is one of the most beautiful and fun theme park I have ever been to! It is located in Yongin city of South Korea. Its full of beautiful buildings, fun and thrilling rides, 3D-4D shows, zoo, different flower gardens and much more! The most famous ride is the T-Express which is a wooden roller coaster with a steep angle of 77 degrees during the fall!!! It feels so scary and exciting to ride this roller-coaster that people wait as long as 2-3 hours sometimes for this! The other rides include Hurricane, Rolling X Train, Double Rock Spin, Lets Twist, some water rides as well like Thunder Falls, Amazon Express, etc. The zoo is filled with a wide variety of animals and birds, the whole region is referred to as Zootopia. Then comes the 2 popular gardens: The four season garden and the rose garden💗 Not to forget, there are many many cafes and restaurants spread throughout the park. Its a huge park so be prepared to walk a lot! Best is to reach early and book some rides through Q-Pass during the initial hours. Weekends are particularly very very busy. The visit ends with a very beautiful Moon and Light Parade in which many people and props and vehicles are decorated with lights! My parents loved each and every part of Everland and particularly the Parade was very very beautiful 💗💗 #everland #everlandresort #themepark #Texpress #waterride #zootopia #rosegarden #suwon #korea

Caribbean Bay: Mar Caribe Bayside Cafe

Accessible from the Yongin-Everland line. Get off the last stop and there are shuttle buses to the entrance of Everland. Some city buses also go directly to Everland area, maybe a 10 minutes walk to the entrance. Found out that Caribbean Bay was doing a special event for a limited time. I do not know if it is an annual event. It was free entry into the park to enjoy the cafes next to the wave pool. When you enter for this event you are not allowed to go on the water rides. If you bring kids they can play in the wave pool area at no charge. I ordered drinks and enjoyed sitting next to the wave pool. I also spent some time walking through the wave pool. I kind of felt like I was at a resort to enjoy a vacation. It was a good first trip to Caribbean Bay. #yongin #everland #Caribbeanbay #korea #southkorea #waterpark #dateideas

Scariest ride ever in Everland

Everland is absolutely a happy place, we were surrounded by so many primary and high school kids on that day ( unfortunately) because Korean students get to come here for their school trip?? I’m so jealous. Anyways, it’s actually a bad time to come because we had to queue for extra extra long due to the crowd. I queue for 140 mins just for one ride, but that also is the most popular ride in Everland which is the T express. It is really the most scariest ride in my entire life! This is definitely one of the ride you can’t minded because it’s 2 mins long, and guess what, it’s a wooden ride!! We only managed to play 4 rides in total due to the crowd, all 4 are fun and I’m sure they rest will be fun as well. There are many small snack stores, we had a lot of small snacks here and there and my fav is the Oreo Churros 😍 unfortunately the queue was quite long as well :( I would recommend this place if you have spare time to spend.

Everland at korea 5-8/02/2023

1. Everland at Korea Highlights Actually, some rides have been closed. - EXPRESS, a wooden roller coaster, can't be played because of the weather. It snowed a week before I went. I missed this one. - HURRICANE, this ride is open, but I'm afraid of having to wait in line for a long time. - DOUBLE ROCK SPIN, this ride is also open. This ride looks fun and not scary enough to not dare to play, but the line is long. - SAFARI WORLD, the zoo is closed, not open for viewing. - LOST VALLEY, I'm not sure if you have to pay extra for the entrance fee or the forest. - COLUMBUS ADVENTURE, this ride is open. You can play as usual, but the line is very long. Book with Klook, it's easy and convenient. Score 6 out of 10 because it takes a long time to get there. And many rides are closed, so you have to wait in line for a long time to play. Some of them take up to 1 hour. #TravelAbroad #TravelKorea #everland

🇰🇷 ever fun in everland

#seoul Everland is a popular amusement park located in Yongin, just outside of Seoul. It is like a combination of a zoological park and a theme park. We spent the whole day there where we explored the "Zoo" section where we saw many animals in action. The best experience was when the giraffe extended its head into the guided bus we were on. As for the theme park, we queued for the T Express, which is a wooden roller coaster. The word "wooden" sounded a bit scary, but well, there's what thrill was all about. And we totally enjoyed the ride. Overall, Everland is a great destination for families and thrill-seekers alike. It offers a fun and exciting day out, with something for everyone to enjoy.

Everland Park, Seoul

Everland is the biggest theme park in Seoul, South Korea. Exploring Everland took almost a full day and my family really enjoy themselves. There are 5 themed zones in Everland - namely Global Fair, American Adventure, Magic Land, European Adventure and Zootopia. Don’t miss the amazing theme park rides, and also a ride on the Ferris wheel to get a bird’s eye view of the whole park from above! My rating: 4 ⭐️ out of 5! #seoul

Autumn Outing at Hwadam Forest

Went out to the botanical garden. They have a rail that you can ride and a couple of restaurants. I spent my time walking through the park it took about 2-3 hours including a 15 minute break. There are different sections to check out, bonsai trees, flowers, traditional section, and more. I went during one of the holidays so there were a lot of people. It is next to a ski resort and there is bus stop near the main entrance to the area but the frequency in between is about 30 minutes. There’s always a cab that can be called. #hwadamforest #yongin

Christmas season in Everland

Amusement park with a very wide range in South Korea. Christmas season is adorable with variety of events. #everland #southkorea

#2023travelwish Korea Folk Village. As the location of the folk village is not that convenience , most of the visitors are either from tour group or local school activity . Most recommended route if you have the ticket Subway to Suwon Station : A Free shuttle bus between Korean Folk Village and Suwon station is available. must check out the latest timing as it kept changing.Pls check on the day you go. Normally Suwon station to Village : 10.30 12.30 2.30 Village to Suwon station : 1.30 4pm In the folk village there will be traditional dance performances and also show . There are staffs portraying and wearing farming clothes to explain in the replica houses. Impressive for me is mini theme park, which is free of charge and not many people . You can take 20 times Pirate Ships without Queuing . Nite view is so nice as well lighted . No worry on the food as there are restaurants around .Really recommended

Everland - The Dreamy Theme Park

#2023travelwish I guess everyone loves theme parks. Including me! 😍 We have visited Everland Theme Park during our last winter trip to South Korea. Is Everland Theme Park worth it? Definitely yessss! 💯 Everland is one of South Korea's largest and the perfect amusement park for all ages. To skip the super long queue, please avoid coming on weekends or South Korea's public holiday. I wish I can visit Disneyland and Disneysea in Tokyo 🇯🇵 in 2023 ✨ #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #couplestrip #everland #seoul

🇰🇷🏰 Castles

Daebak! means terrific in Korea. This is how I will describe Everland to anyone who asked. It is a must-go place for any first-timer tourists to Seoul. It is not a long journey from Seoul and there are so many transport options to choose from. Even if you are not a theme park fan, you can just take a walk around and enjoy the beautiful views around Everland. Besides, for tourists tickets, it is always having discounts and you can buy discounted Everland tickets on Trip.com and apply their promo code as well. Once you enter from the main entrance, a beautiful sight will be right in front of you. You will also take this route when it is time to go home. Come during sunset hours and you get to see all these castles shining together with the sunset. It is simply too mesmerising. Have a seoul-prise! #celebratewithtrip #happybirthday #korea #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

🇰🇷🎢 Scary roller coasters

Yes, there are far too many thrilling rides in Everland. It is impossible to complete all of them within a day. You will have to revisit on multiple visits. If you are not so lucky, you might only complete 1 ride because of the long queue time. I will recommend “Let’s Spin It”, you will sit and the ride will spin you around, including multiples of 360 degree turn. It is definitely scary and please take this ride on an empty stomach. If you want to find out more about the different types of roller coasters, you can look up coaster-pedia. Have a seoul-prise! #celebratewithtrip #happybirthday #korea #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

🇰🇷🐼 Panda booth

These panda mascot characters are the cutest! Just a heads up. You will not find them at Panda World. This display is faraway from Panda World. After Lenny’s Adventure, you will take the long stairs towards the roller coaster and the exit area, then you will be able to spot them. It is right inside the kids village zone. There are many pandas of various sizes and decorated with a photo booth for anyone to take photos.This area is on a higher elevation, so you will be able to get a bird’s eye view of the four seasons garden and T-Express too. Have a seoul-prise! #celebratewithtrip #happybirthday #korea #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

Ever after at Everland Theme Park

There is so much to see in Seoul. South Korea's business and cultural hub, the metropolitan is home to a great number of modern and traditional attractions, from palaces to skycrapers and of course FOODS 😀 This one is probably one of highlights of my Seoul trip. Being with a company of amazing friends in one of the biggest theme park on South Korea, Everland is a must visit place when in Seoul. There are a lot of exciting activities to do while in this place. My favorite would be riding the wooden roller coast ride. It was astonishing experience. Worthwhile with a company of good people with good food. #spooktaculartrip SpooktacularTrip

🇰🇷🎃 Halloween Four Seasons Garden

The most functional garden in Everland and now it is full of skulls and pumpkins during their Halloween event. This special Halloween event is until 17 Nov. Whatever is happening at Everland, it is going well. They have different sections catering to different age groups. This is a well planned theme park. It is also a great place for content creators to create content, perfect place for OOTD to take photos and amazing scenery photos too. So even if you do not get to play any attractions at Everland, I am sure that you can spend the entire day here exploring the theme park. Best time to celebrate Autumn and Halloween at the same time and enjoy the perfect weather. Have a seoul-prise in South Korea. #fallingforfall #spooktaculartrip #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip
