South Korea Trip: Seoul Central Mosque and Lotte World

After finished the hanbok photo session, we continued our journey to Seoul Central Mosque which located at Itaewon. The mosque is located in the uphill location, so prepare your feet to take a long ascending stairs to get there. Before entering the mosque gate, there's a board which informed about how to dress up when entering the mosque.

The unique thing about Itaewon is you'll find many Africans in here, but I don't know the history why most of them dwell in Itaewon instead in other part of Seoul.

After finished our prayer, we directly went to Jamsil station since we wanted to visit Lotte World. Actually when we went to Seoul, we planned to visit only one from two theme parks (Lotte World or Everland), because entering two theme parks will be costly. At that time we planned to visit Everland only, but when arrived at the gate of Lotte World, it was very tempting to get in, just to fill in our curiosity.

Since what we want to see inside Lotte World is its famous castle, so to avoid any regret we bought general admission ticket only without any plan to play any of the attraction. The great thing is, Lotte World entrance ticket price is reduced at 4 p.m. from 31,000 won to 26,000 won, and if you enter at 7 p.m. the price will be lower to 17,000 only. It was already 7 p.m., so we were excited to know that we can enter Lotte World with its lowest price.

17,000 won only, yeay!

Lotte World has two area, the first one is Magic Land. Magic Land is an man-made island just for the theme park. It's also where the castle located.

there's even a place for lovers in the magic island

The second area is the indoor park. If you come at night at late November just like what I did, it's more comfortable being in the indoor park since the temperature is warmer.

The indoor park located inside the Lotte shopping mall, so when we came out of the theme park we can shop and window shopping at Lotte department store.
