Itinerary

<span> Day 1 </span>SEOUL - CHANGDUK PLACE - HAN YANG CASTLE WALL WALKING

When you arrive Korea, you will meet the guide at the airport and move to downtown Seoul. Seoul used to be the place where the king lived, so the five main palaces are gathered, and you can see many people wearing traditional Korean wearings, hanbok. As soon as we arrive in Seoul, we will move directly to Changdeokgung Palace and experience the most beautiful palace in Korea. Changdeokgung (Changdeok Palace), the second grand palace of the Joseon Dynasty, built in 1405 by King Taejong (the 3rd king of the Joseon Dynasty). In 1592 the main palace, Gyeongbokgung, was completely destroyed by fire during the Japanese Invasion of Korea and Changdeokgung became the home of the Joseon court for 270 years. Changdeokgung was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List as being an outstanding example of Far Eastern palace architecture and garden design, exceptional for the way in which the buildings are integrated into and harmonized with the landscape. Next, we will visit Hanyang City Wall, the wall that has been guarding Hanyang (the old name of Seoul) for a long time. It does not act as a wall now, but it has been a symbol of Seoul for 600 years.

<span> Day 2-3 </span>PYEONG CHANG WOLJUNG TEMPLE STAY 1N2D

Today, we will move to Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do, and it takes about two hours by car. After arriving in Pyeongchang, we will experience temple stay at Woljeongsa Temple for two days and one night. Woljeongsa was founded during the reign of Shilla Queen Seondeok (643 C.E.) by the Precepts Master Ven. Jajang (590-658 C.E.) At Woljeongsa Temple, where traditional Buddhism has been continued for a long time, we will have a unique experience. During the temple stay you will eat temple dishes cruelty-free, wear naturally dyed clothes, have meditation, and wake up early to clean up your bed. During temple stay, you will understand the monk's life and learn the Buddhist philosophy.

<span> Day 4 </span>SOKCHO VILLAGE TOUR - OVERNIGHT GOSEONG CITY

Next city in Ganwon-do is Sokcho which is located on the east coast of the Korea Peninsula. Residents come to enjoy sunbathing on long golden beaches as they gaze over the East sea's horizon.

· Abai Village -Abai Village bears a history of displaced people’s distress. The village was formed by refugees of the Korean War from North Korea, mainly from Hamgyeong-do Province. The word “abai” is a dialect of Hamgyeong-do that means a friendly old man like a grandfather. Visitors to Abai Village can get a sense of displaced people’s life and story, which fade away into a chapter of history.

· Gatbae Boat - pathway of Sokchohang Port lying between downtown Sokcho and Cheongho-dong Abai Village. The boat, which has an iron cable attached to it, sails forward when people pull the wire by hooking the cable using an iron rod, and pulling the rod. All passengers are expected to pull the boat using the hook. Gaebae Boat, that can be only met in Sokcho, will provide a unusual, fun memory. While pulling the Gatbae boat with your own hands, you can enjoy the views of Cheongchoho Lake, port, and the mood of fishing villages. It is more pleasant taking the Gatbae boat, entering downtown Sokcho, and looking around Jungang Market., where you can see and taste a variety of fresh sea foods and buy Salted Seafood. The market that are always crowded is filled with lively excitement.

<span> Day 5 </span>GOSEONG DMZ TOUR - SEOUL

The last destination in Gangwondo is Goseong city

· Goseong Unification Observation Tower- The Unification Observatory was erected in 1984 out of the long-cherished wish for reunification and as a symbol of the tragic history. Since its establishment, hundreds of thousands of tourists and displaced people from North Korea have come to pray for reunification and to ease their pain.

· DMZ Museum - The DMZ Museum was founded in honor of people's hope for unification of South Korea and North Korea. It is located at the northernmost area along the east coast near the civilization control line.The museum features exhibition halls arranged in a number of different themes that highlight the historical significance and the meaning of the DMZ, from the aftermath of war to its pristine ecosystem.
