Our 4th day is filled with action-packed adventure. We spend the entire day at Everland, South Korea’s premier and largest amusement park located in Yongin, about 40 kilometers south of Seoul. From heart-pounding rides to up-close encounters with fascinating creatures, this day was packed with excitement and adventure!

Everland is divided into five main zones: Global Fair, American Adventure, Magic Land, European Adventure, and Zootopia (which includes the safari adventure). In Zootopia, visitors can enjoy the Safari World, where they can see various animals such as lions, tigers, bears, giraffes, and elephants roaming freely in a simulated natural environment.

Day 2: Exploring Korean Culture and Cuisine

Our second day in Korea was dedicated to immersing ourselves in the rich cultural heritage of the country. We had planned a unique experience by booking a Hanbok rental through Klook (Bukchon Oneday Hanbok Rental Experience) a sweet escape pictorial at Gyeongbokgung Palace (I have made a separate post about our Hanbok Photoshoot experience in a different post, you can read it here). The anticipation was high as we couldn’t wait to capture stunning photos in this historical setting.

We arrived at the Hanbok rental shop and were greeted by a friendly staff who helped us choose the perfect traditional Korean attire. The array of vibrant colors and intricate designs made it a tough decision, but we finally settled on our outfits. The Hanbok not only made us feel like we had stepped back in time, but it also added a touch of elegance and authenticity to our photo shoot.
