Dayang South Korea in Autumn
#fallishere Visit Mancheonha Skywalk in Dayang and witness the spectacular autumn colors in the Mountain. This year is probably a little late as some parts had changed colors while some are still green. Skywalk view is amazing by itself as it is located on a cliff of Nahagang River. Visitor can enjoy walking on the clouds with the view of the water below. Panoramic view of Dayang and Sobaeksan Mountain can be seen at the observatory. There are also zipline and alpine coaster in the area if you are seeking for extra adventures.
You may also find a big patch of silver grass right before the carpark that is such beautiful photo spots! Wish we have more time there as we took a day tour to go Dayang! Definitely recommend to come here as there are quite alot of interesting things to do other than the skywalk.

Coffee Shop Exploration Jeju 📸☕️
Jeju this gem of an island in South Korea. You can find this island in the middle of China and South Korea. What you notice when you go around the island is the amount of coffee shops around every corner and the food and drinks are so tasty. The portion size are good and the quality of food are great. I fell in love with the ice teas or Ade's that is like fruit tea mix with lemonade. The coffee shops are no ordinary shop but each one got their own uniqueness and most of them have a stunning view of the ocean 😍⛱️ if you are a food this is definitely an island to go explore for their food and drinks.
Food to try: black pork, fresh seafood, anything made from mandarins (candy, dried fruit, etc)
Drinks: Mandarin 100% juice, Jeju Ice tea, Ade drink (different flavors)

Jeju Fantasy Bike Ride 🚴♀️🏝
if you like being active and adventurous this is the trip for you! Jeju Island is the biggest isalmd of South Korea and a volcanic island. You can explore Jeju by public transport, rent a car, e-bike or bicycle as I did. You can pick how many days you want to explore the island. I've done it in 4 days with a bicycle 🚲. The trail is called the Fantasy bike trail and is mostly along the coast of Jeju with beautiful scenery, all you need to do is follow the blue line and it will take you all of 234km around the island. Every couple of meters or kilometers there are cute coffee shops to explore and experience while you have a beautiful view of the beach. There are lots to see on Jeju island, they have a museum for everything or almost everything 😁
Easy to book into different hotel every night.
There are hiking trails that you can do as well as other activities and sights to see. I would definitely recommend this island 🏝 to anyone it's a real gem 💎

Lotte World - South Korea
Lotte world is South Korean’s version of Disneyland. Its uniquely set in the heart of Seoul, the theme park is split between indoor and outdoor. We were surprised by how big the park was. There were plenty of rides, especially for those looking for more thrills. The zombie theme from the popular South Korean movie ‘Train To Busan’ can also be found in the park. There are shows and a grand parade which starts in the evening. My personal favourite was to take a boat ride on the river that runs through Seoul.

Seoul Tower - South Korea
Also known as Namsan Tower, Seoul tower is another iconic place to visit whilst in South Korea. There are a couple of ways of getting there. My favourite is to take the cable car from the bottom, which will drop you right at the tower. From there you can enjoy the skyline view of Seoul, as well as seeing the tower from up close. From there, you can walk back down through Namsan park, which is a nice walk in itself.
Note that if you decide to walk from the bottom, it will take about 40mins, and it is uphill.

Alpaca? Alpaca
Honestly very cute. I had alot of fun with my friends feeding the alpacas and also walking around the mini zoo. We went in summer (do not recommend— it was so hot). The mini zoo was on a hill so you can imagine the steep climb in the summer heat to see a variety of animals that are in the zoo. It wasn’t crowded which is good and the only people there were those that were in the same tour group as us.
We had a coin to feed the alpacas roaming in a large pen. It was really fun because they were so hungry and smart to find you for your food. There was also an amazing race and the prize is a sticker sheet— very cute.
ps: we went on a nami-island tour so which covers the alpaca world attraction (recommend if you want to spend a day exploring nami with your friends)

Cannot wait to visit Korea again
I Visited Korea recently and it was HEAVEN!!!!! I went to Seoul and Busan to visit the many famous historical landmarks and attractions such as Gyeongbokgung Palace, N Seoul Tower, Bukchon Hanok Village, Gamcheon Cultural Village, Haeundae beach and many more!!!! And how can you visit Korea without eating their variety of delicious foods 😋😍. As I am a big foodie, I visited the famous food markets such as Gwangjang Market, namdaemun market and Myeongdong market and tried many of their food sold such as gimbap, tteokbokki, kalguksu, mandu and many more as shown in the pictures. Just thinking about the food is making my mouth watering again 😭😭😭. If you're also into facial products like me, remember to check out olive young for they affordable and wide variety of products! They are everywhere so it is easy to buy things that you have forgotten or last minute want to buy. The people there are also extremely friendly from my experience. Korea is a must visit place for everyone going overseas with their friends, families or love ones. I can't wait to go back again in the future #south_korea #seoul #busan
Jara Island - South Korea
Jara Island. Accidentally came across this place on our way to Nami Island. I must say this was a gem! Make sure to visit Jara island on your way to Nami. You won’t be disappointed.
