South Korea Trip: Everland Theme Park

Travelling to Korea won't complete without visiting Everland theme park. So, the last day before leaving Korea, we visit Everland. We stayed at Seoul 24 Guesthouse, which's really close to Seoul Station. After breakfast, we walk to the station. Even in early morning, we could see some people exercising in the park. I wish I have such park near my house so I don't have to go to the gym for just some stretching.

Everland is located in the far south of Seoul. Therefore it took us about an hour to arrived at Eveland using Yongin Ever Line (train). From Everland station, we follow the guidance at the street then we arrived at the Everland bus stop. The bus that took us from the station to Everland is free of charge.

After arrived at the Everland, we bought the entrance ticket for 37,000 won each. It accept credit card if you don't bring enough cash.

The first thing we did after entering the gate was having a brunch. we haven't had our breakfast yet, so we stopped by at the nearest restaurant, whose name Venezia. The taste was so so, but because we're hungry it become a bit delicious.

After loaded our stomach, we visit the nearest attraction, which is K-Pop Hologram. It was the time for 2NE1 show. I almost shed a tear when watching the show, it looked and felt so real and they're so beautiful as well.

The next destination is the Magic Tree. This giant tree is famous, since all my friend who went to Everland always take a pic of this tree. Fortunately there's a LINE store in front of the Magic Tree, since I really love LINE characters and wanted to buy one of its authentic product in Korea.

The main attraction that we wanted to try was T-Express. T-Express is the world's ninth fastest, fourth tallest, and sixth longest wooden coaster. The queue for this attraction is so long, because it's the most famous attraction in Everland.

it's really made of woods

Actually I wanted to try the other roller coaster too, the Rolling X-Train, but it was closed due to maintenance at the time came there. There also plenty of thrilling attractions, but my sister was too afraid to try. So the other 'thrilling' attraction that she dare to try was Racing Coaster, which was only really thrill for kids :(

Besides attraction, it also has a music show to entertain the children at the Carnival Square. I also ate some snacks during my time in Everland including the Minimelts ice cream (I did not remember it was really Minimelts or just its wannabe).

The topography of Everland is like hills and valley, once you go to the valley (where T-Express located), you will have to go through a climb a steep road to get back to the hill (the entrance gate). Luckily there's a travelator that can help you overcome this. Such a great idea.

Another famous icon in the Everland beside the giant tree is its garden. When my friends came there in October, the Four Season Garden and Rose Garden were covered with flowers including tulip. But since I came there in mid November, the flowers already gone and replaced by beautiful lights! The garden was so big, and it's all covered by little lamp. A really romantic ambiance if you went were there with your love one.

That night was quite cold and the nicest thing was the park provided a room to warm up your body. It's located in several places and really useful especially if you bring little children in that kind of temperature.

Before leaving the park, we passed by the giant tree again and it looks more beautiful since it's already covered with lights.
