Ello everybody again!
So, today I am going to portion amongst y'all my latest land trip that I had amongst the #wowkoreasupporters squad precisely 2 weeks ago! Alongside amongst the back upwards from Korea Tourism Organization, nosotros were sponsored to a 3D2N land trip to a Jecheon/Danyang, located inwards Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea. Jecheon is voted past times the Koreans to move the move past times healing metropolis inwards Korea this year. H5N1 healing identify is to a greater extent than often than non known every bit a identify where y'all tin seek peace as well as tranquility; away from bustling as well as crowded metropolis life.
DAY 1
All #wowkoreasupporters gathered at the Korea Tourism Organization caput operate inwards Seoul, as well as nosotros had a grouping photograph taken earlier boarding the omnibus for Jecheon!
After most a two-hours drive down, nosotros arrived showtime at our luncheon location! We had Tofu Mushroom Hotpot at the eating theater called House of Appletree. Even though I wasn't a large fan of tofu, I loved the hotpot soup, the mushrooms as well as also the side dishes overall! We were also given apples for desserts, I guess that explains the advert of the restaurant? Hahaha. Anyways, apples are i of the speciality fruits of Jecheon because of the conditions that Jecheon-si experiences. They mayhap hot throughout the 24-hour interval but the nights are chilly. H5N1 elementary explanation (since I'm non anywhere scientifically professional) is that such conditions is skillful for reaping apples!
Well.. technically exclusively me as well as the miss beside me made funny faces :o

The ride mayhap quite scary for some people, because it is real steep on sure as shooting parts of the route up. Other than my dorsum existence a footling aching from those steep slopes upwards (because the chairs are hard), it was a tranquil ride to move amidst all the greenery as well as fresh air.
In lieu of hiking upwards the steep mountain, nosotros had approx 20min ride upwards to the peak of Bibongsan, which oversees the non bad stance of Cheongpungho Lake.

So these pretty much concluded Day 1 at Jecheon, nosotros proceeded to our accommodation location - Danyang Resort. Danyang is the adjacent city, belike most 30min drive away from Jecheon.
Lovely overview from our resort room
Before nosotros lights out for the night, nosotros had some H2O ice breaking games every bit a cast of bonding session amongst our grouping mates. And correct earlier that, at that spot was a mini prize awarding ceremony for #wowkoreasupporters who had done good for the monthly as well as weekly missions. Surprisingly, I was i of the 2 supporters who had been selected for the June's best monthly mission! I totally didn't aspect that, because everyone were doing a non bad job! As a cast of encouragement, awardees were given a gear upwards of this SSEAL ESCARGOT 24K GOLD ALL-In-One Treatment Set from THEFACESHOP. I was told that this gear upwards is worth 60,000krw at least. Thank y'all thus much THEFACESHOP for sponsoring this!
Well definitely, this is a real prestige item which is also a footling fleck "too good" for my peel now. From my understanding, snail-based or products that incorporate 24k aureate are to a greater extent than suited for mature skin. For that, I had decided to give this gift gear upwards to my Godfather as well as his married adult woman for their usage :) Being a filial miss here, am I? Hahahs.

Before nosotros proceeded to the adjacent scenic site, nosotros constitute this beautiful view shaped statue that could also capture the lovely Dodamsambong Peaks at the back. I intend exclusively our grouping came downward to conduct maintain this photo, as well as I actually didn't regret it!
Love this photograph thus much!
Managed to teach a twain to snap this quick grouping shot for us ^^
Two hundred meters upstream from Dodamsambong Peaks is a large rainbow-shaped stone gate on the left side of the river. This is also some other scenic stance of Danyang known every bit the Stone Gate (aka Seongmun). As each of the 8 scenic beauties of Danyang comes amongst a legend or folktale, Stone Gate has its ain too. It was said past times some people that fairies as well as hermits, enjoyed singing as well as dancing, frequent this Stone Gate.
To teach upwards to the Stone Gate, nosotros conduct maintain to climb a brusk colina as well as our mission every bit a grouping was to conduct maintain a funny photograph amongst the Stone Gate every bit the background.
Well.. technically exclusively me as well as the miss beside me made funny faces :o After the Stone Gate, nosotros moved on to the adjacent highlight of the 24-hour interval - Ondal Filming Site. For those of y'all who had studied Korean Language using the Yonsei Korean Book, y'all are belike familiar amongst the story of Princess Pyeonggang as well as Ondal.

Here comes the most unexpected as well as dreaded component subdivision of the land trip - hiking. Totally didn't aspect at that spot would move hiking because I did enquire the managing director beforehand if nosotros were ever hiking inwards this trip as well as he said no. Well, to his surprise too, the tour guide made us hiked upwards the mount called Ondalsanseong, aka Ondal Fortress. The ironic component subdivision is that the tour guide did not hike amongst us, she precisely instructed us to become upwards to the peak as well as observe the answers to her questions. Ohwell, I conduct maintain it every bit a cast of exercise. (Trying to move optimistic.. haha) The hike upwards the mount was non slow at all, peculiarly when I was wearing flats as well as non running shoes at least. Then again, I shall non lament because nosotros were greeted amongst a beautiful as well as magnificent stance upwards there.
Tri, from the Vietnam! Love this photograph too!
Credits to Derya for taking this amazing photo!
After the tiring hike upwards the mount inwards the hottest as well as humid weather, nosotros came downward as well as rushed for the terminal sight seeing of the 24-hour interval - Ondal Cave.
Me inwards the Ondal Cave!
Well, I conduct maintain to say I dearest caves thus much. I intend caves are thus amazing because they alter according to weather. In Summer, caves are similar air-conditioners; it was thus cooling as well as refreshing to move inwards the cave afterwards that long hiking. And I was inwards Czech Repbulic years ago, as well as I had been to a Cave eating theater which was naturally thus warm because it was Winter season. If I could select a natural habitat, I'd belike become for the Caves. Hahah
