[KR] Seoul Again - Day 2

Starting the day with a long train ride all the way to Gimyujeong station, where we will be going to the Gangchon Rail Park.

* Gangchon Rail Park: 1383, Gimyujeong-ro, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do

We made our booking through Funtastic Korea which was fuss free! Just be on time and collect your tickets at the counter. You'll definitely see it upon reaching the area. There are timings that can be chosen for your ride and my tip is to book the earlier ones so that you have time for other attractions around the area too (eg, Nami Island, The Garden of Morning Calm)



We have to queue up according to 2-seater or 4-seater ride. They will briefly explain what you should and should not do during the ride. However, all instructions are in Korean.


We didn't need to cycle all the way as the rails has some mechanics where they will just push you through the ride!

Definitely a must go if you are visiting Nami Island and Petite France on the same day!




Reached a rest stop after being on the bike for about 35-40mins and they have a designated bus to send you back!

Took a stroll to Gangchon station where we took a train to Gapyeong Station to visit Nami Island!





Must have in Chuncheon is their Dakgalbi! The best i ever ate. Especially the fried rice where they will fry after the meal. Always order their rice!

There's a free ferry service where it will send you in to Nami Island!

* Nami Island: 1, Namisum-gil, Namsan-myeon, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do





Honestly, Nami Island is a touch and go place. Nothing much to see except trees! If i do visit again, i would love to cycle around and have a picnic there.

We bought tickets for the shuttle bus service where they send you around the tourist attractions nearby. 5000 won for unlimited rides and therefore saving quite a bit of money and time. More info here!

*Petite France: 1063, Hoban-ro, Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do 

We took a short break at a cafe inside Petite France.

Tea-break which was really meh.

Took a long train ride to Hongdae for BBQ dinner! The famed "stone" bbq! (Salivating as i'm typing this post at 11.30PM) The best thing about eating bbq in Korea is that the ahjummas or ahjusshis will help you with cooking the meat, so it doesn't go too cooked or uncooked! Directions here!

No other words needed.

We shared a chocolate churros from Churros 101 among ourselves since we were filled to the brim for dinner. The chocolate actually stained our jackets as we weren't careful while eating because the chocolate bursts with every bite!

*Churros 101: 128, Eoulmadang-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul 04055
