South Korea Again - Day 6 (Hanbok Experience and NAMI Island)

Cont. of Day 6...


HANBOK Experience at M Plaza (Myeong-dong)

It's almost 11am when we arrived at KTO, the earliest scheduled they offer is 11:40am and so we booked it. The staff advise us to come back at 11:30, since we still have 30 mins, we go to the fourth floor where DAISO is located and buy some pasalubongs and stuffs! ^^



We came back at exactly 11:30, then few minutes the staff assist us, she introduced us to the different kinds hanbok, like the hanboks wear by King, Queen, Prince, Princess, Performer (Gisaeng), Nurse, Cook, etc.

Now time for HANBOK wearing experience!!!

 


I love wearing Hanbok! Feeling Koreana lang ^^

It's already past noon when we decided to go to our next destination, where???? Hmmmm kinda far from Seoul..... another Korean Drama filming location, popular tourist destination in South Korea! Another clue, I've been here! hahaha , so yes this would be my second time in this place, I originally didn't include this on our itinerary but my dongsaeng insist (again), so I have no choice but to include this! 

Okay, from the Korean Drama "WINTER SONATA" filming location...... NAMI ISLAND.

NAMI ISLAND



Directions:

From Myeongdong Station, get off to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station (Line 4), then transfer to Line 5 and get off to Gunja Station, then transfer to Line 7 and get off to Sanbong Station. Then transfer to KTX Line Gyeongchun and get off to Gapyeong Station. Outside the station, ride a taxi/cab going to Nami port.

Be prepared for more than an hour ride! 

Arriving Nami Island, this place is very touristy, I noticed that there are lots of people came here (locals and tourist). 







Of course this is Winter Sonata's place!


The famous Winter Sonata lane







Ramdom pix!








It's getting colder and colder that afternoon, so before the night falls we decided to leave the Island, guess we almost roamed the area. A whole day is worth a visit here, in our case since we kinda squeeze our time, so a few hours staying here is just fine :)



That's it for Day 6, back to Myeongdong to buy pasalubongs and stuffs!!! ^^

For our dinner, we try Korean foods, this is located at Myeongdong subway.




Love the food and it's cheap!

JJIMJILBANG

We head back to our guesthouse to warm ourselves first and I ask the staff for the nearest SAUNA or JJIMJILBANG in Myeongdong, the staff suggested the one located in Good Morning City Mall located in Dongdaemun and History station.










The jjimjilbang cost 400won, we just rest here for an hour, take some pictures and just explore this place, which is a very nice and clean place. 

The Good Morning City mall is open until 4am, for your shopping spree try to visit this mall, a lot of clothes here and when you get tired visit the basement for the jjimjilbang! ^^
