The most peaceful land in Korea, PyeongChang

k

This holiday, I went to a place where I can fully enjoy the vast nature of Korea. This is Pyeongchang, where the Winter Olympics were once held.

Pyeong Chang Location

Pyeongchang is a county in the south central part of Gangwon-do, South Korea. Located in the center of the Taebaek Mountains, it reaches an average altitude of over 600m.

Pyeongchang in nature brings comfort to every step while looking at the lush trees and wide grasslands.

Then, let’s take a look at what things to enjoy in Pyeongchang one by one

Visit spots

1. mountain coaster

The mountain Coaster located inside YongPyoung Resort is a one-person roller coaster. You can feel the excitement through the forest with the rides that descend on the rails on the hillside.

To get to the top, you have to drive on a winding dirt road. Although the road is not wide, it is as wide as possible for passenger cars to cross. If you go all the way to the end of the unpaved road, there are parking lots and toilets.

Accommodation

Pyeongchang has a variety of pension facilities and many choices, but I recommend this place, Rufina’s Garden Pension.

This place is close to the rafting place, and the above mentioned attractions and locations are suitable, so you can save time efficiently.

Rufina's Garden Pension

Here you can grill a barbecue in the large garden and see many stars at night.

The pork belly grilled over charcoal is a heavenly taste that you have never tasted.

Barbecue facilities are available, so you only need to buy meat from a nearby mart.

Dinner is a barbecue with pork belly
