Korea from March 5 - 15

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if during my above mentioned period is there any must go events/festivals/places?

My intended itinerary would be first 5 days Seoul, then 4 days Jeju-do island and head to Busan %26amp; Gyeongju.

Am I missing anything? Also for these places what are the must see?

Thanks in Advance!!

Korea from March 5 - 15

It is good itinerary for 11 days in Korea.

But my suggestion is 3 days in Seoul/3 days in Jeju/2 days in Busan/1 and 1/2 days in Gyeongju/1~2 days in Seoul.

For the must see in those cities refer to below websites.

Hey,

Thank you so much for your quick reply~!!

I was wondering as I wish to go ski. But the winter season is almost ending. Do you know if ski resort like Yangji or Jisan is still good for beginner ski and sled?

Or do you know of places that have got fresh snow that can allow little children to play with?

Thank you so much.

They have snow making machines. Go for it

hey,

yeah, do understand that they can man-make the snow, but as yongpyong have already started closing their beginner slopes and stuff. Thus my worry about other ski resorts.

Sorry pardon me,

another question. In Jeju-do, I was looking at Gasantobang for accomodation. But realised that the details available on it, eg. booking/price, is rather hard to find. Do anyone knows how should I go about doing this reservation?

Or also it would be good if there are other recommendations.

Prefer it to be a more relax looking place, but yet cheap.

Thank you so much!!!

you guys are really such great help! cant express my gratitude.

Opps I forgot to ask about hot springs.

Is there any recommended natural hot springs in Jeju or Busan to Gyeongju?

Another question regarding hot springs. Are all korea hotsprings being built into a building? Are there any natural as in outdoor as per how it is like originally, not with any man-made architect over it?

The reservation and payment

Hot springs, there are some hot springs around the country.

In Busan, there are two. One is at Oncheonjang, the other is at Haeundae.

Belows are kind of famous places in those area.

(it is famous, too. But there is no english homepage.)

In Korea, most of hot springs are in the building. I never heard there is natural outdoor one.

1. Ski resort

As replied in other posting, most ski resorts around seoul will be closing from Mar.8th. If you come to Korea on 5th, just rush to Jisan, Yangji or Konjiam. It is expected to have rain or snow tomorrow, so if you are lucky, you can also enjoy skiing or snowboarding over the weekend.

2. Jeju Island

In Jeju, public transporation is not convenient so rent a car or motobike is popular. Not sure but is there any accommodation package including car rent in your local tour agency? If you do not rent a car, the location of accommodation is a matter. I am also ging to Jeju this week, so if you have any question, just let me know.

3. Busan

Check out also the webpage of paradise hotel spa in Busan. http://busan.paradisehotel.co.kr/en/

It has a great spa looking over the sea. As Seoulhyena said, Nongshim hotel spa is also popular.

The new spa just opened on Mar.3rd in Shinsegae Centumcity which is known to be the most big shopping complex in asia. Heard the size of the department and other shopping mall is huge. Try it if you have any chance.

4. Gyeongju

Don%26#39;t miss the nightview of Anapji, it is more beautiful at night. Try Millenium park and Gyeonju pang (Gyoneju bread)

As for the type of hot springs, do you mean the Japanese style outdoor hot springs? If so, most hot springs including water parks have outdoor pool %26amp; spa. The outdoor spa is named of ';Event bath'; that contains herb, medicinal herb or other healthy stuffs. Hinoki bath must be in most spa.

Have a wonderful trip in Korea.
