Seoul Itinerary
Day 8 : Alice in the Everland 🎢
Stop 1 : Everland
Today, we were going to visit Everland, which known as the largest theme park in Korea. Luckily no more raining today, it is perfect weather for have fun in outdoor theme park.
We took subway from Hoehyeon station to Yangjae Station. Coming out from exit no.8 of Yangjae Station, we hopped onto shuttle bus no.5002B to Everland. The total travel time required was around 1 hours 40 minutes. So, we would recommend our friends to depart earlier so you guys can have more time enjoying the facilities, and do have your breakfast first before depart.
We bought the one-day pass to most of the major facilities. It cost us 43,000won (about RM142) per pax.
There have 5 themes inside the park, including European Adventure, Zootopia, Global Fair, Magic Land and American Adventure. Every theme has its own unique attractions, experiential facilities and performances, for every age of visitors.
Among all the facilities, we loved 'T-Express' and 'Safari World' the most. The riding of T-Express was a thrilling yet additive experience. The wooden roller coaster could reaches speeds of up to 104 km/h. In Safari World, we ride through an animal reserve and could observed a variety of exotic animals including bears and tigers up close.
Additionally, to celebrate Halloween Festival, the park was featured with several Halloween special events, including Happy Halloween Party Parade and Blood City 2: Zombie Carnival. On morning, we immersed in the cheerful party liven up by Halloween parade. The performers leading the procession were in colorful and elaborate costumes. When the night was falling, the Blood City became energetic and lively. The bloody red decorations and the 'Zombies' at horror attraction, made the park more fun and interesting.
Stop 2 : Myeongdong
At the last night of this Korea trip, we end our trip with the delicious Korean food in Myeongdong.
We get back to the bus platform beside the entrance of Everland and took the shuttle bus no.5002B to Sinnonhyeon Station around 8pm. Crossing the road, we again hopped onto another bus no.470, which can arrive Myeongdong.
We had our dinner in Myeongdong Kyoja, a small restaurant with one-star Michelin. The restaurant has simple décor and offers only four items on its menu, specializes in dumplings and noodle soup.
We tried on their Korean chopped noodle. The noodles were pretty chewy and tasted good with the broth. Surprisingly, the hefty portions came with affordable prices.
Before back to the guesthouse, we wrapped up our day with green tea dessert from Osulloc.
Friends, do check out this green tea shop when visiting Korea. Their green tea desserts are the best! We have visited the shop three times in these short 8-days trip in Seoul. We gonna miss it when back to Malaysia. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
On the next day
Day 9: Going Home ✈️
Our flight to Kuala Lumpur was at 9.35am from Incheon International Airport. So we took the earliest subway from Hoehyeon Station to Seoul Station, and from Seoul Station, we took AREX (Airport Railroad Express Train), the fastest direct train to Incheon Airport.
Be aware to buffer more time for the tax refund and the long travel time required to reach your gate. If you have done your tax refund downtown, then you just proceed to the related kiosk for custom check, completing the final step.
Here comes the end of our wonderful Korea trip.
