Korean Folk Village
#winhkflight Korean Folk Village is a place that can transport you back in time to the olden days or even in period drama settings. We really enjoyed our time at the Korean Folk Village because it gave us a break from the bustling city life and we were able to learn so much about the korean culture. It was an unforgettable trip. I would love to win the Hong Kong flight as I loved the food, culture, activities and I had an unforgettable time with my family and would love to be back to experience more local fare!

Cheese Making Euna Farm in Yeoju County
From Daegu we travelled to Yeoju and its take about 2 hours by a tour bus. Our groups consists of 13 peoples. In Yeoju, our destination will be at rural quite village Yeoju County, Gyeonggi-do. In the house there are many toys miniature all self-made by the owner. Our stop here will be cheese making and feeding the cows with milk session. A great experience in doing cheese in their workshop trained by one of their expertise ajomma ( aunty ). The farm produces various dairy products, including cheese, with fresh milk from the cows raised on the farm.
The trainer ( ajomma ) put the white curd made from fresh milk into 80-degree Celsius water and used wooden paddles to knead the cheese. While kneading, salts are added into it in order to achieve a quality cheese. The cheese was reinserted into the hot water again and kneaded some more, so that the salt would permeate throughout the cheese
.
Feeding the cows session were another great feeling....wow! look hungry they are....haha. Weather : chilling cold -6 deg celcius ( February )

Highlights: The highlight of Kko Kko Dakgalbi Chuncheon is undoubtedly its delicious chicken galbi. The dish is cooked at your table on a hot plate, and the aroma is irresistible. The chicken is marinated in a spicy sauce that is perfectly balanced and not too overwhelming. The dish also comes with a variety of vegetables that complement the chicken galbi well. The restaurant also offers a range of other Korean dishes, such as kimchi fried rice and seafood pancake, that are equally delicious.

Rating: Overall, I would give Kko Kko Dakgalbi Chuncheon a rating of 5 out of 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . The restaurant offers a great dining experience with mouth-watering food, a cozy ambiance, and friendly service. The only downside is that the restaurant can get quite crowded during meal hours, so it is recommended to make a reservation beforehand.

Steam Locomotive
This Steam Locomotive at Jangdan Station of the Gyeongui Line-7 was left in DMZ during the Korean War.
It has more than 1020 bullets holes and was registered cultural heritage in 2004.
This location was the site of Jangdan Station that was constructed as the Gyeongui Line was opened. Before the Korean War. The area around the station was concentrated with financial cooperatives and shopping centers. The station was burnt down along with Steam Locomotive at Jangdan Station on the Gyeongui Line during the Korean War. Only the platform, cargo handling area, and portions of the rail remain today. This historical facility gives us glimpse at the Korean War, division of Korea, and reunification at the same time.

Chodae-gil trail, a walking trail near the base of Bukhansan Mountan, in the northern part of Seoul (near the limits with Gyeonggi-do), was open to conmemorate the inauguration of the Modern History Memorial Hall (located few minutes away from the starting point of this trail). During the trail, visitors can visit the tombs of those who fought and built the basis that formed the current Korean Republic. The total lenght of this trail is around 1.3Km, but it also connects to the Seoul Trail, so those who’d like to hike longer can take that trail.

This UNESCO world heritage site is about an hour and a half south of Seoul. I did this on my own. You can take the metro to Suwon station and then take a bus. Check with the tourist information office at Suwon station for details of the bus if you are confused.You need atleast half a day to do justice to this attraction. Entry ticket to the palace is 1,500 Korean won. There is a lot of walking and steep climbs, so be prepared. Don't miss the delicious dumplings sold in tiny restaurants in Suwon. On the way back I entered the food hall at Suwon station, a haven for yummy Korean food.

In the middle of the spiral staircase, the wet hangry is descending from the high ceiling to the pond below,
There are various seats centered around the middle of the middle, so meetings seem to be visited by a lot of people who come to read or concentrate.
