Things to do in Chung-Cheong-do | 2015 Wow Korea Supporters (Day 2)

 

On the second day, we went to Asan where the Oeam Folk Village is located at.

There, we hand-dyed our handkerchiefs with all natural dye and the finished product is sooo pretty!

Check out my post on Asan and for more info on how to get to Oeam Folk VillageHERE!

 

 

After the stroll, we went for some delicious soft tofu stew 순두부찌개 at the  shi-gul-sun-du-bu 시골순두부 Restaurant in Cheonan.

Honestly, it is one of the best soft tofu stew that I have ever tasted!

Next, we visited The Independence Hall of Korea.

  

There, we get to have a better understanding on the independence movement in Korea.

 

We also had an opportunity to watch a 4D short animated film. Since the film is meant for kids, the 4D effect wasn’t as intense as I experienced before.

 

How to get there

[Bus] Cheonan Bus Terminal – Take the 400 city bus
[KTX] Cheonan Asan Station – Taxi (30min), 400 city bus

 

This relaxing trip really enabled me to learn so much about Korean history and I can’t wait to learn more on the next trip!

Things to do in Kangwon-do, S. Korea | 2015 Wow Korea Supporters (Day 2)

Day 2

After waking up, I was super hungry!!! And so, we went to this little restaurant that serves fish, bean-paste soup and some delicious side dishes.

 Also went to the national park where there was a temple a huge statue of Buddha.
 And since the weather was so wonderful, we went to up to Mt. Seorak by cable car.

  Thank god we didn't have to climb all the way up to the top.

 

But since I was feeling adventurous, I decided to hike up but it was a bit too terrifying to get to the top of Mt. Seorak.

I did manage to enjoy the view up there and even met some other Malaysian visitors.

I really do recommend going to Mt. Seorak if you happened to be at Kangwon-do.

After that, we went strawberry-picking in Engol Strawberry Farm (응골딸기마을)! 

HERE IS THE WEBSITE!

Even though strawberry season is almost over, this strawberry farm still has lots of strawberries that can be plucked and eaten! In fact, they don't use any insecticides and it's 100% organic! And I picked a box of strawberries myself :)
 

Then, we went to the Sokcho central market for some street food. Had the famous Hodeok (호떡), ice-cream fished-shaped bread (아이스크림 붕어 빵) and Sokcho's very own specialty - 닭간정, which is fried chicken covered with savoury sauce.

   

These pictures make me sooooo hungry~

And our eating tour did not end yet. We traveled to Gangneung to have their famous soft tofu stew. 

It was a little spicy but it was sooo good!! And it only cost 14,000 Won!!

After that we went to stay at a Hanok (한옥) stay which was an extremely unique accommodation. Check out the next post to find out how awesome the Hanok stay is!!
