Run and Run~ The Rail bike. XD

 The rail bike means biking on rails. The rail bike located in several places in Korea like Jeongseon Gangwon-do, Mungyeong Gyeongbuk, Gokseong Jeollanam-do and so on. In this posting, I introduce rail bike in Jeongseon Gangwon-do. In magnificent view of Gangwon-do, rail bike that hold the limelight as a new leisure sport and special tourism product cross the train track without train. We can feel river and mountain of Gangwon-do without any restriction riding rail bike.

  This rail bike passes the 7.2km course that crosses Gujeol-ri Station to Auraji Sation of Jeongseon and rides 15~20 Km per hour. In Spring, you can feel enough warm sunshine sprouting buds and verdant nature. In Summer, you can hear the cool sound of running water. In Fall, you can see colourful autumn leaves. And in winter, you can experience seeing dazzling while snow flowers on the branches.

 

 

  The rail bike runs in Jeongseon 5 times in a day every 2 hours. The price of the rail bike is shared to each 25,000 won of two-seater and 35,000won of four-seater. The rail bike is safe. Because safeties like fences and signs are installed beside bridge or tunnel. And it doesn't need great strength because of gentle slopes.

  As riding the rail bike, you can look around unusual view of Nochusan and Ojang waterfall. Next, you can have a good time with your friendly friends in cafe in Gujeol-ri Station. And then you pass by beautiful Songcheon valley, rugged precipice with rocks of fantastic shape lining up along the river side and affectionate farm village landscape make us exclamatory.

  In addition, there are Hwaam cave and Kangwon Land on the periphery. So you can see and enjoy the more thing. If you ride the rail bike with your beloved people at Gujeol-ri Station, pass by clear river and fresh forest of Songcheon, and blow the cool wind on your face, you wish time would sand still that time.

One Day Two Night Trip to Bu-San

 Busan is a second city of Korea. As Busan is a port city and there are several beaches, so many tourists find there in summer. Also Busan is good for trip because of convenient traffic.

Jagalchi Market and Nampodong food alley

  As Busan is coast city, marine products markets were developed. Specially, because , a lot of products were sold in Jagalchi Market, looking on this market is so fun. But eating tasty foods in Nampodong food alley is also best fun. There are a lot of tasty street foods. For example bibim-noodles, sundae, choongmu-gimbap, and sweaty danpatjuk are soooo yummy. Jungguji-jeon adding seasoned squid is also very yummy food. And the best food is seed-hotteok. In Busan trip, you must eat seed-hotteok.

The Best View of Nature, Taejongdae

 In Taejongdae, there are dense forest that is hard to see in Busan and lots of oddly shaped stones that made of long accumulation in harmony. Also blue ocean overlooking at cliff is peerless. You can see Daemado when it is good weather. And walking around light house, you can't do better than eating sea food like fresh-caught fishes.

 

 

 

 

 

Gwanganri Beach

 Night view of Gwanganri beach is best view in Busan night view. Because the big bridge of Gwangan light beautiful at night. And night sea and big bridge mingle beautifully. You can feel this night view in real when you see it in the flesh. It's so beautiful.

 

Haeundae Beach

 Haeundae beach is most many people crowded in Korea beaches. In addition, Dongbaek island connected to Haeundae beach is located like enfolding sea. There are a historic site of Chi won Choi. He named Haeundae beach walking Dongbaek island.

 

 You can go perfect one day two night trip to Busan. You can see night view of Gwanganri beach after you go Jagalchi Market, Nampodong food alley and Taejongdae. Next, you can stay overnight in Busan. And then if you go for a walk to Dongbaek island and Haeundae beach, there is no best trip than this.

Seoul History Travel

  Seoul is capital of the Joseon Dynasty that reign along 5 hundred years. Seoul is central of Korea's history. Seoul has a number of palaces, gates, and graves with modern history's evidence like Tapgol Park and Seodaemun Prison History Hall. We should go those historic sites living in Korea. I would introduce Gyeongbokgung, Sungnyemun and Seodaemun Prison History Hall of them.

  Gyeongbokgung is the best royal palace of the Joseon dynasty. It receive several wounds, but it has been returning since 1990 years. You can see quintessence of royal culture in Gyeongbockgung that is central of Seoul capital.

 

 

 

 Sungnyemun is the South Gate of Seoul as well as No. 1 national treasure of Korea erected at in King Tae Jo period. As Joseon built infrastructure of city in order of leading statesmen, royal palaces and casttle towns, Joseon had been making arrangements. Since then, Sungnyemun protected South of Hanyang. But in 2008, Sungnyemun was lossen by an absurd fire. That accident aroused attention to us about importance of cultural properties. After that accident, Sungnyemun was restored by traditional way. Last May 4, it had commemoration of restoration. So we can see Sungnyemun again.

  Seodaemun Prison History Hall is prison of independence activist who fight for independence of Korea. Also people participating in the pro-democracy demonstrations were put in it. This place is typical place to show rocky history. Today, this prison opened as history hall for lesson of historic pain. We can see and experience real states of prison in past in there.

 

 

 

 Before you go history travel, you should learn about history of cultural properties. If you learned related and hidden history before you go travel about history, you could feel more things than when you don't do that. So, people say that "You can see something as you know something.". Also you can feel spirits of humans from that time. It is very important to explore historic sites.
