Drama Location and Tourist Destination

A new drama by MBC, Hotel King starring Lee DongWook and Lee DaHae televised its first two episodes last weekend. I was surprised to see that the hotel they were filming in was in fact my favorite hotel that we stayed in when we had the opportunity to visit Korea last early winter of 2013, the Alpensia Hotel in Pyeongchang, Gangwondo.

Although it maybe a hotel, personally the place gives a relaxing feeling because of the surrounding natural views you'll see there. I was able to find an incredible place for sightseeing especially on dawn or early morning. The sunrise looks so beautiful at "that" spot.

Pyeongchang is also the home for Alpensia Ski Jump. Hopefully this 2018, Winter Olympics will be held in Pyeongchang and ski jump and other related competitions will be held there. You should come in the morning and better on earlier times so you can still make it to the monorail going to its peak. It has a very, very nice view!

There are also some good restaurants around the area.

Try to consider visiting Pyeongchang too especially on winter time.. But, yeah! It's spring already! So the mountains will be filled again with beautiful flowers. ^^* 

In the spring, it's good tovisit Geumdang Valley, Korea Botanic Garden, Farm Herbnara, or the valleys and forests of Pyeongchang for blankets of flowers and green. Try paragliding at Jangamsan Gliding Site or mountain biking to add a little excitement to your springtime getaway. (c) KTO

Blessedly, I was able to go to Korea on winter but if God willing I would want to experience the different seasons of Korea on those places which really emphaisize it. Do you have the idea? Please share it with us too :)))
