High1 Ski Resort

#skiadventure High1 Ski Resort is equipped with lifts and ski slopes for beginners as well as intermediate and advanced skiers, providing an enjoyable environment for the whole family. It is also designed to be the most environmental-friendly ski resort in the nation. Preserving the mountain while making the slopes, in spring various wild edible greens are seen and in summer many wild flowers bloom, making the resort an eco-travel attraction all year round. The revolving restaurant at the mountain top, 1,340 meters above sea level, provides an amazing view of the surrounding area with one full rotation every hour. High1 has three tops named High1 Top, Valley Top and Mountain Hub. High1 Top and Mountain Hub are served by a gondola.

First ever ski experience

#skiadventure Nothing beats a first time ski experience (and its all-expense paid) aa part of my university's cross culture program. High1 Ski Resort with its highest attitude at 1,345m is known for its beautifully clean, natural and puffy snow. High1 Resort is one of the most popular and famous ski resorts in Korea. ​ When snow melts slowly from the slope, colourful wildflowers bloom subsequently from May to August. Visitors can also enjoy the wildflowers on the gondola ride to the mountain top. #tripblazers

The village of Allari is a traditional house in the Shanshan County of Gangwon-do. It is believed that many people will feel strange when they mention the place of "goodness." Shanshan is a county located in the southeast of Gangwon Province. It borders Gangneung City in the north, Pyeongchang County in the northwest, Ningyue County in the south, and Donghai City, Sancha City and Taibai City in the east. It is located between the Taibai Mountains and surrounded by mountains. Among them, there are many steep peaks, so there is a saying that the wind is too good and will stay here.

“Auraji” in Jeongseon

#dreamdestination This is the restaurant of “Auraji” in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do! You can see so many different types of Korean food. Grilled deodeok, cabbage kimchi, and white kimchi are really delicious. It's a great place for sightseeing!

Railbike is the highlight of the trip

This is no doubt the highlight of my Nami island trip! We bought the pacakge from Klook and it’s included railbike, it was so fun!! And also, a very good exercise to burn your calories 😬 You are given options to choose to share a rail bike ( up to 4 pax) or book a private bike with extra charges to enjoy it with your love ones. I paid extra for the private bike with no regrets. There are 4 tunnels with different theme in total, all 4 tunnels are so fun and windy inside. The scenery here are breathtaking!! Blue blue sky and mountains. At the end of the rail bike, we will be sent back to the main station by a “romantic train” which I also enjoy as well! It was a good break after all the cycling 😂
