Seoul Searching 2020

New Decade with my Seoul Mate (Part 2)

Our 2nd day started very early because we booked the Nami Island/ Garden of the Morning Calm / Gangchon Rail Bike guided toor via Klook to take us to the countryside of South Korea.

Our first stop was Ganchon Rail Park. The rail park was a unique attraction that allowed visitors to ride and pedal along an old railway track. The freezing gusts of wind were blowing strongly to our faces so make sure you wear the proper winter clothes when you want to experience the ride. As we rode along the track, we were surrounded by the breathtaking views of the countryside, with mountains and fields stretching out as far as the eye could see. You will also enter a tunnel with amazing and colorful lights.

The experience was exhilarating and it made us feel like we were truly immersed in the Korean countryside.
