Ultimate Adventure: Stay in Stunning Yurts!
My night stay in the yurts in the Rainbow Mountains was absolutely incredible. The location is unbeatable, as it's very close to the scenic spot and provides a stunning view of the stars at night. The hotpot was also a highlight, as it was delicious and provided a perfect way to warm up after a long day of hiking.
The yurts were heated with electric blankets and super cozy. A shared shower and toilet yes but they were incredible clean and not far from our yurt.
If you're in the region, I highly recommend visiting Jupiter Valley, also known as Extraterrestrial or Alien Valley on CTrip. The 100 RMB per person fee is well worth it, as the valley is truly a unique and otherworldly experience. The surreal landscape, with its towering rock formations and vibrant colors, is like nothing else on Earth. It's also conveniently located close to all the other spots worth seeing in the area.
Overall, my night stay in the yurts and visit to Jupiter Valley were unforgettable experiences that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the region. The stunning scenery, delicious food, and unique attractions make it a must-visit destination.

LAKE ASHI (JAPAN) IS BACK!
Due to COVID, Lake Ashi was closed for some time and is now open again. This location is a must-see as it is one of the most scenic places to visit for the scenery and the onsen spa.
Three thousand years ago, the vapour from an eruption of Mount Kashima's volcano created this location. The lake water originated from a spring near the lake's bottom. Please be advised that swimming is prohibited in Lake Ashi.

FANTASTIC TRAIN RIDE, PYEONGCHANG AND JINBU
#seoul
We always love train rides especially in countries where trains are not only regarded as important transportation, but also being very efficient and undeniably very fast !
We had both experienced the ordinary class and business class. Both are good though. Sure thing is, business class has less people onboard with more comfy, spacious seat.
So this was our route Seoul - Pyeongchang, Jinbu (Odaesan) - Seoul. Memorable train journey indeed.
One of the train highlights is the wireless charger attached to the seat. No more hassle finding your plug yada yada yada.
Simply insert the mobile phone and tadaaaaaa, the battery is recharged promptly.
Wonderful experience every time arriving at a new town/station and looking forward for more train rides in future !
