Everland is a large-sized theme park that holds more than 4.5 million pyeongs of land housing an animal zoo, amusement park, snow sledding slopes, botanical gardens and more. Korea's largest theme park lives up to its reputation, as it dresses the whole park in a wondrous illusion even down to the part-time cleaning employees, wearing cute uniforms. The colorful fantasy world of Everland provides an enormous array of events and rides along with sledding at the Everland Snow Sledding Slopes, and remains truly a must-visit for those desiring to fully feel the sensations of Korea's winter.
Lotte World & the Lotte World Ice Rink
Lotte World is Korea's only indoor amusement park located at the center of Seoul, where guests can enjoy a variety of amusement rides and witness the falling of artificial snow through the large snow fans (until Dec. 25), all while avoiding the cold winter bite. Also, people can skate on the Lotte World Ice Rink, located at the center of Lotte World, for an even more spectacular time.
Snow Tracking, Climbing the Highest Peak of Hallasan Mountain
Mountain is one of Korea's natural forests, Jeju-do Island's highest mountain peak, and is Korea's tallest mountain, where the galaxies can be reached from atop the mountains. Royal azaleas bloom in the spring, fall brings the autumn foliage, and the winter brings forth snowfields and a sea of clouds. The relatively easy hike to the top rewards hikers with a view of vast snowfields with crystal-like flowers of ice formations growing in the sunlight on top of the withered old trees. If you follow the winds of the snowfields and can take your eyes off the wondrous snow formations for a quick moment, you can turn around to witness the ocean expanse that surrounds the waters of Jeju-do Island, the East Sea. Though a one-day hike does not leave much time to appreciate the beauty of the mountains, there is a feeling of certain satisfaction in leaving while wanting more. From my experiences, the mountains of Hallasan that soar skyward from out of the blue waters of the East Sea was one of the most memorable trips I have had.
