Everland Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Best place to visit for the year!
#freehotelstay this is the best place I visited in 2024. Oh my god the pandas are so much cuter in read. Fubao is so adorable. Everything is just so wonderful. #everland #Fubao #themepark #Seoul
Crazily crowded Everland in Korea🎢⛲️
#exploreasia
We were in dilemma and hard time choosing between the 2 best theme parks in Seoul. Guess what? We ended up choosing Everland (largest theme park in Seoul). It took us approximately half an hour to arrive from city centre to here.
We came here around end of October and the crowd was crazy! Can you imagine that you need 3 hours queue for the roller coaster! Averagely 2 Hours for other games.
There are lots of lots of attractions, lost my count and continue to enjoy this joyful place like a kid 👧🏻 Lost in the wonder 😍
Most beautiful theme park: Everland💙
Everland is one of the most beautiful and fun theme park I have ever been to! It is located in Yongin city of South Korea.
Its full of beautiful buildings, fun and thrilling rides, 3D-4D shows, zoo, different flower gardens and much more!
The most famous ride is the T-Express which is a wooden roller coaster with a steep angle of 77 degrees during the fall!!! It feels so scary and exciting to ride this roller-coaster that people wait as long as 2-3 hours sometimes for this!
The other rides include Hurricane, Rolling X Train, Double Rock Spin, Lets Twist, some water rides as well like Thunder Falls, Amazon Express, etc.
The zoo is filled with a wide variety of animals and birds, the whole region is referred to as Zootopia.
Then comes the 2 popular gardens:
The four season garden and the rose garden💗
Not to forget, there are many many cafes and restaurants spread throughout the park. Its a huge park so be prepared to walk a lot!
Best is to reach early and book some rides through Q-Pass during the initial hours. Weekends are particularly very very busy.
The visit ends with a very beautiful Moon and Light Parade in which many people and props and vehicles are decorated with lights! My parents loved each and every part of Everland and particularly the Parade was very very beautiful 💗💗

Scariest ride ever in Everland
Everland is absolutely a happy place, we were surrounded by so many primary and high school kids on that day ( unfortunately) because Korean students get to come here for their school trip?? I’m so jealous. Anyways, it’s actually a bad time to come because we had to queue for extra extra long due to the crowd.
I queue for 140 mins just for one ride, but that also is the most popular ride in Everland which is the T express. It is really the most scariest ride in my entire life! This is definitely one of the ride you can’t minded because it’s 2 mins long, and guess what, it’s a wooden ride!!
We only managed to play 4 rides in total due to the crowd, all 4 are fun and I’m sure they rest will be fun as well.
There are many small snack stores, we had a lot of small snacks here and there and my fav is the Oreo Churros 😍 unfortunately the queue was quite long as well :(
I would recommend this place if you have spare time to spend.

Garden of Morning Calm Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Beautiful Garden that feel peaceful
Decide to head to the garden of morning calm despite not being interested in nature and photography. However the views made me in awe and each garden was so beautiful.
The pond garden is the highlight of this attraction, as it shows a korean style garden.
However i recommend that you reach the garden in the morning to avoid tourists.
It is recommended if you like nature, photography or just want a nice walk down a beautiful garden.
Top 3 spots in Garden of Morning Calm, Seoul
#seoul
When visiting The Garden of Morning Calm, there are many beautiful areas to take amazing photos, and these are my top 3 recommendations!
1. The Pond Garden
The Pond garden has been used as a filming location for many Korean TV series, including the hit drama, “Moonlight Drawn by Clouds,” starred by Park Bo-gum and Kim Yoo-jung.
2. Millenium Juniper
This Juniper tree has lived for a thousand years and it’s a sight not to be missed!
3. Hometown Garden
Hometown Garden is where a typical Korean thatched cottage is surrounded by trees and plants that Korean people love to plant near their houses. Very scenic.
Last but not least, if you happen to visit The Garden of Morning Calm this summer, do not miss the special Hydrangea exhibition on display until July 2023!
The Garden of Morning Calm
#seoul
We visited the Garden of Morning Calm when in South Korea (approximately 1.5-2 hours drive from Seoul city center) and it did not disappoint!
The Garden of Morning Calm is beautifully maintained with almost 5000 species of plants, and showcases many lovely flora and fauna throughout the year.
I will be back!
My rating of this attraction: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!
The newly built kids' pool villa in Gapyeong, Korea is a great value for money. 😆
#TravelingMonth
"What's the deal with this cost-effectiveness....🙄"
I immediately made a reservation for the newly built kids' pool villa in Gyeonggi Gapyeong as soon as I saw it 🏊🏻♀️🩱
It's called Lake Puyi's To✨
You can make a reservation for around 100,000 won on weekdays during the off-season👀
Usually, a kids' pool villa is far from the Instagram atmosphere,
and the rooms are full of colorful interiors just for kids,
but Lake Puyi's To is a sensuous accommodation that adults will also love🎀
Thanks to it, my mom took a lot of life shots...?😳
With a stylish and sophisticated interior,
a year-round hot water pool and a Lily Pet Kids Zone for children🎈
Thanks to my son who played happily without realizing the time,
I was able to take a break from parenting for a while😆
Moreover, you can enjoy it without additional fees,
Where else can you find such cost-effectiveness..,.🤦🏼♀️
📍Lake Puyi's To
🏷️14-12, Sumokwon-ro 386beon-gil, Sang-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do
📞1566-7427
▫️Pool villa, individual barbecue, bed room, duplex, family room,

One of the main reasons for K-drama fans to visit Petite France is to check out the filming set of “My Love from The Star”. It was one of the top Korean dramas ever.
Some of the places shown in this TV show have become very famous. Petite France is where, in episode 15 of My Love from The Star, Professor Do Min-joon finally confesses his love for Cheon Song-yi.
My rating of this attraction: 4.5 ⭐️ out of 5!
Petite France - Gapyeong, South Korea
Petite France, located in Gapyeong county, South Korea, is a charming French-themed village nestled amidst the picturesque countryside.
Inspired by the novel "The Little Prince”, it captures the essence of a French village with colorful houses, cobblestone streets & quaint shops. Many Korean dramas & variety shows featured Petite France too, including “My Love from the Star”, “Secret Garden” and “Running Man”.
You can immerse yourself in French culture through art exhibitions, performances & some traditional cuisine. Whether strolling through its gardens or enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, Petite France offers a delightful escape to France from the bustling city life of Seoul.
It’s about 2 hours drive from Seoul, best suited for day-trips.

Suwon Fortress in Autumn
#fallingforfall
Suwon Fortress is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is located in Suwon, Korea. It is one of the most important historical sites of the country and is the only castle in the country whose walls remain intact. Transportation is very easy and it is 10 minutes from Suwon Station.
When you come here, you can walk around the city walls, ride a bike or visit the old watchtowers. In autumn, a magnificent view is seen with the color change and shedding of the leaves of the trees and I recommend you to observe this change here.

Here, you can sit at the bottom of the lake or sit at the old korean building, one of the watchpoints of the castle, and watch the city.
You can rent specially prepared picnic baskets from the nearby markets. Afterwards, you can take a stroll on the walls of the castle accompanied by music.
