Blooms of Bliss: Spring's Cherry Blossom
#cherryblossom2024 Nami Island's cherry blossoms paint a picture-perfect scene, with delicate pink blooms adorning tree-lined paths. Walking amidst these ethereal flowers is a tranquil experience, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
There are a few picturesque spots perfect for picnicking. Look for a shady area under the trees or along the riverbank with a scenic view 🌸 Do prepare picnic mat and wet wipes for picnic
Getting There
By Shuttle Bus + Ferry: Tour companies offer shuttle bus services from Seoul to Nami Island. These buses typically depart from designated locations in Seoul (Eg Myeongdong, Dongdaemun) and take you directly to the Gapyeong Wharf, where you can then transfer to a ferry for the short ride to Nami Island. Do note the departure time from Gapyeong Wharf before leaving for the island 🏝️ for the trip back to Seoul

It is a beautiful & romantic place to visit and a must for kdrama lover.

Nami Island Stunning Foliage
We visited Nami Island in Autumn and it was absolutely stunning. Autumn is filled with golden foliage and cooler temperatures from September to November. We heard from our guide that Nami Island is excellent all year but the most popular times are Autumn for the stunning foliage.
It is the season that brings happiness to faces just by looking at their surroundings. Experiencing Nami Island in Autumn will just take your breath away. With the stunning natural beauty of Nami Island, you will get mesmerized. Specially because of the vibrant colors of the leaves during the fall season which gives it a lively atmosphere. With this in mind, you might want to get your camera prepared! Because this is indeed a picturesque place, where it is worth to take many pictures. However, do come early as Nami Island get pretty crowded very fast.

Seoraksan National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Golden Mountain in South Korea 🇰🇷
#fallingforfall 🍂 Trust me when I say less than 10% Malaysian has discovered this place in South Korea. Let’s do something out of the typical itinerary.
This is Seoraksan Mountain, one of the three highest peaks in South Korea. It is located in Sokcho-si. It is suitable for all ages as you can take a cable car ride around 10 minutes to the top of the mountain.
It’s only around 3 hours driving from Seoul and you will find yourself in this golden heaven especially for someone who travel in the autumn. Those pictures I took myself during this year mid-autumn.
Make sure to put this in your itinerary next time you are planning to go to South Korea.
Muhammad Amer Ridzuan Bin Zuber Seoraksan National Park
Seoraksan is a mountain in South Korea that is known for its scenic beauty and diverse plant and animal life. It is a popular destination for hiking and outdoor activities, and is home to many temples and cultural sites. The mountain is also designated as a National Park, which helps to protect its natural resources and biodiversity. The view was so spectacular that I really enjoyed my hike there.

Sokcho Beach Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Sunrise With Love in South Korea 🇰🇷
#couplestrip #awesomepic Sokcho Beach is one on the prettiest sunrise spots. I don't have to describe much and let the photos speak for themselves. It's only 3 hours drive from Seoul and I can guarantee you will never regret this in your entire life. You can also enjoy fresh seafoods around the beach. I have fulfilled my life bucket list, and now this is your time!
These picture are 100% no filter. I read somewhere that South Korea has multiple spots for first sunrise that people crowd during new year so I booked a flight ticket this year autumn just to see if they are true.
Muhammad Amer Ridzuan Bin Zuber Sokcho | The Sokcho Beach is so healing!
After touring Abai Village, I walked directly to Sokcho Beach via the Seorak Bridge trail, and this path surprised me so much!!
From the bridge, I could see the village and the sea on one side, and on the other side were the snow-capped Seorak Mountain and the green Cheongcho Lake. The fusion of these views was just too beautiful.
🚶Walking to the breakwater by the beach, the entire seascape was also very open, and I kept going wow wow wow all the way – it wasn't tiring at all. Just walking, looking around, taking pictures, and before I knew it, I had arrived at Sokcho Beach.
Sokcho Beach
The beach had a few more people than other places, but it was still not crowded this season, mostly locals or people from other parts of Korea. They were playing in the water, sunbathing, enjoying the breeze, walking, fishing, etc., and it looked like an enviable daily life.
🎡The Ferris wheel is also right by the beach, which makes for a nice photo backdrop.
Besides seagulls, there were also a lot of pigeons foraging on the beach, and they were basically not afraid of people, all looking cute and adorable.
🚶Walking along the beach to the other side, you reach the Beach (actually, it's the same beach, just that there are more rocks on the Oeongchi side). The entrance to the Sea Aroma Road is also at the end of this beach.
I often see people saying that Gangneung is more beautiful than Sokcho, that Sokcho is boring and not worth visiting, etc. To be objective, each city on the East Coast has its own charm, and I think both Gangneung and Sokcho are beautiful and worth visiting! As long as you encounter a sunny day, any seascape you snap is a masterpiece!
I want to visit Sokcho again next time. The autumn trekking up Seorak Mountain is also incredibly scenic~
Sokcho Beach
#koreatrip
Beautiful scenery. In the summertime it's really busy. Fireworks (but security limits them), night market food stalls, carnival games, and lots of photo ops. Daytime it's packed with families and night time you're not allowed in the water but it's bustling with people out for an evening stroll. Worth visiting in the summertime for day time and night time experiences.
They gave public washrooms (really clean), and air or water pumps to clean your shoes or feet once you're out of the sand. Safe, kid friendly, and lots to do/see here.
Sokcho
Sokcho เมืองซกโชเป็นเมืองที่อยู่ทางตอนบนของเกาหลีใต้ ตั้งอยู่ในจังหวัดคังวอน ไม่มี KTX ผ่าน สามารถนั่งบัส(Dong Seoul Bus Terminal)หรือขับรถส่วนตัวมาจากโซลได้ ใช้เวลาประมาณ 2 ชั่วโมง รถบัสมีหลายรอบมีหลายแบบมีทั้งนั่งแบบเดี่ยวแบบคู่ รถบัสแบบธรรมดาหรือแบบพรีเมียม แหล่งท่องเที่ยวชื่อดัง คือ อุทยานแห่งชาติซอรัคซาน ชายหาดซกโช และ Sokcho Eye สามารถมาโต้คลื่นที่นี่ได้ อาหารทะเลสดและราคาถูกกว่าปูซาน เป็นเมืองเล็กๆที่เงียบสงบ มีธรรมชาติทั้งภูเขาและทะเล #Korea #Sokcho #seoraksan
