We were planning for a day trip since we were going to spend 7 to 14 Apr 2011 in Seoul. Having been to Seoul once and not wanting to revisit, Nami Island, Everland nor Mt Sorak, we decided to go somewhere scenic and soak in the beautiful sights of Korea. The plan to Jeju has been cancelled coz we realised it'll be expensive and difficult for us to move around unless we join a local tour. And that, we do not want.
So, here's our new plan: to visit the slow, barely untouched and charming Samjicheon village in Damyang region. It's about 3-4 hours train ride from Seoul. And to go with the flow of being in the "slow" village, we dont want to rush and will stay 1 night in this lovely place.
It's also the place whereby a lot of Korean drama was filmed because of its awesome scenery.
Here's the website for nearby Hanok accommodation and we selected the first one called House of Kim Yeong-Bong. It looks pretty nice and neat although I cannot understand what is written on its website. there's a phone no to call for reservation but I got my Korean friends to help give us reserve 2 rooms instead. The only thing to note that they don't accept credit card so we have to pay in cash for our rooms.
I am looking forward to this and will definitely share more when I have stayed there and return with more beautiful pictures and memories... =)
