Ice Skiing in Korea (Jisan Ski Resort)

As I mentioned earlier Korea is very vibrant and energetic in terms of adventure sports, So here is the details for the Skiing in Korea. I heard a lot about Jisan Ski resort which is very near to Suwon. So Here I am with the details.

How to reach there???

There is free bus service available from the Jisan Resort itself. What you need to do is register to Jisan Ski Resort. And do it 1 or 2 days before, as reservation is required. So this reservation includes Entry ticket as well as the bus ticket. And bus pick-up stand details you can get from the website which is http://www.jisanresort.co.kr/eng/intro02_01.html

It’s around 45 minute’s journey from Suwon.

What to do???

Basically two things are available there one is Ice-Skiing and other is Snow boarding. There are around 7 courts for the same. So according to your practice you can try different courts, But I will suggest try only one thing in a day otherwise you won’t enjoy. Ice-board and Skiing kit you can take from the shops which are there in that area. Try to take these kits from the place which is nearest to the court. Otherwise you have to carry all the kits, which is very tiring effort. .

When to go???

You can check the timings of buses, and you can plan accordingly.

Etc:

There may be some offer available through banks, especially with Citi bank Credit Card. Because one of my friend only paid 10K while for the same I paid 50K won. And also try to take Group Discount.

Bungee Jumping in Korea

Last month I visited Cheung Pung Land for the bunugee. I know place name sounds very strange and funny, but it has loads of excitement in it. So here I am with another blog about this thrilling place.

How to reach there???

As I was in Suwon, so I will describe you according to that. This place Cheung Pung Land is nearest to Jae Cheon city. So go to Suwon bus Terminal and take bus to Jae Cheon bus express terminal. It’s a 2.5 hrs journey. Then you have to take local bus to go to the Cheung Pung Land, there are few buses like 982, 954 and 960. And be patient while waiting for these buses, as frequency is very less. This is also 1 hr journey.

What to do??

I can understand that it’s very long journey but believe this pain worth it. So there are mainly three rides: Bungee Jumping, Big Swing and Ejection seat. Although these are main attractions but apart from it there are Artificial mountaineering, Artificial ground, Trekking and Cruise. So it is complete day entertainment package.

When to go???

I will suggest you take bus, which leave 8 ‘O’ clock from Suwon bus terminal. So you can reach at the place by 12. Then you can start riding these rides. And Return bus timings are 15pm/16.45/18.30/20.00 pm. Try to go in summer, as it will be favorable time.

Han(hangang) River

I have been planning to write this blog about my trips in Korea. Although it is not very big country like India, but it has very rich tourism experience. Here I would like to share some knowledge how to reach there and what to do.

How to reach there???

Although it was my second time when I went there but every time I get confused. Nearest metro station to the river is Yeouinaru which is on Subway line number 5. So if you are coming from Suwon, get down at Singil station and then change the line to 5. Take exit 2, and here you are.

What to do???

Lots of activity you have there to do. Cycling, specially double seater and triple seater( who haven’t tried these cycles, I know how attractive they are). You can try paddle-boating, speed boat and in last Cruise.

If you have enough time left then you can also go for 63 building which is just near to Han river. It has Wax Museum, Sea world and of-course view of Han River and city from the 63^rd floor.

When to go????

I will suggest you go on Sunday and try to take Cruise in the slot of 7:30. Because by that time it will be almost night, and you can take the night view of Han River which is really good. And I think they have some fireworks and all that day. And try to be there by 4 'o' Clock, otherwise you will surely miss few things.

Etc.

There you will have enough shops for eatables, if you are hungry. KFC , GS25 and one coffee shop is there. So food won’t be issue.
