Hi folks Shakira is here, are you ready to be a stalker at my adventures? Here we go!
Along this week, I've been traveling to Alpensia in Pyeongchang. It's part of Gangwondo province. This is a very huge ski resort. There are 2 types of lodging at this ski resort. One is the suites and the other is a hotel. A suites is like a condotel, kinda a condo type but functions as a hotel. They provide a kitchen, a heater look like camp fire, bathroom, bedroom, dining room, living room and a single bedroom with queen size double bed, hmmm very cozy along with thick blanket. Perfect place to snuggle up. If you are type of non junkfood person then you can cook there. They provide an induction stove, a huge refrigerator, kitchen equipment, microwave, sink even the sponge and the liquid dishes soap, it's perfect!
But for the hotel type they don't provide a kitchen. So, they need to eat at the restaurants. But you don't have to worry, they have lots of restaurant at a vary choices of menu. They have western and Korean style food. I've tried 2 restaurants and they were delicious.
If you stay overnight at the Alpensia, you'll get a coupon. One for skiing and the other is for swimming. You get 35% off for the water park and 30% off for the skiing equipment rental and sled. The water park is called Ocean 700. When it's winter the indoor swimming pool is opened, but if you like to swim otdoor you can do it. They provide you outdoor swimming pool too even in winter. If you rather ski or sled, you need to know how to skiing. If you don't, you need a coach to teach you skiing as a beginner.
The price for 1:1 teaching is 300,000₩ for 4 hours, quite pricing right...yeeaahh. In the other hand there are 2 types of sleds. One is the tube sleigh and the other is normal sleigh sled. They are inexpensive. If your just visiting Alpensia you pay 10,000₩, but if you're stay overnight in Alpensia, you'll get discount and pay 8,000₩ only.
There is an interesting place too at Alpensia. it's a craft shop. You can create some interesting craft such as mug decoration, necklace or key ring beads, wooden puzzles, drawing in t-shirt etc. I've made a mug and a necklace. There is also a 4D cinema and a mirror maze. Very fascinating right? When you're traveling to Korea, be sure to explore Alpensia.
Don't forget to wear your warm clothes, proper socks and boots, hat, hand gloves and keep smile..
All best from South Korea.
