Do you still remember the famous Korean Drama & also the 1st shown in Malaysia?
Winter Sonata (2002), staring Bae Yong Joon & Choi Ji Woo.
Some of the scenery from the drama is actually in Namiseom Island itself whereby we'll be heading there!
After Petite France, we took the same Gapyeong Shuttle Bus to the island itself.
 |
| The Bus drop us here. |
The bus drop us in front of the picture above, and we're to walk about 5min to reach the "immigration" counter whereby we will purchase our tickets to Nami Island.
 |
| Our sort of "Entry Visa @ Ticket" for Ferry & Admission : KWR 8,000 (RM24) |
Basically for us foreigner, we only need to pay KWR 8,000 (RM24) which is already discounted for us. Normaly local Koreans, they have to pay KWR 10,000 (RM30).

Because it is still freezing cold at 5'c, you will see some part in Nami Island there will be a special-warm-place-to-heat-up

 |
| It is Nicely Warm :) |
And we are so glad to found a nice spot to warm ourselves up ! :) Even though we're covering ourselves up, we will still feel the cold breeze.. =_="
Imagine if it snow...don't think we will even come out from our room at all. Haha

 |
| Rentals of Bike & NamyCar. |
 |
| Accomdation near Nami Island |
According to the brochure, there's accommodation at/nearby Nami Island. We haven't tried it before since the area is too outskirt, hence the place will be quiet once it is dark.
It is better for us to stay in Seoul City instead and waste no time for more shopping :)
Nevertheless, we did not rent any accommodation or bikes in Nami.
But we're lucky enough to find an un-used, unknown owner of a bike.. So we took a picture with it instead.. Free Bike-Photography :)

After spending 1hr + in Nami Island, we took the same shuttle bus to the nearest subway which is Gapyeong Station.
Since it is still early, we decided to by Lotte World to do some shopping as Lotte World Theme Park is connected to Lotte Shopping Center.
From Gapyeong Station , we stop at Jamsil Station. It took us 85
Minutes subway ride, 23 stations stops which cost us KWR 1,950 @ RM 5.85.
Departure from Gapyeong
Station--> Transfer @
Sangbong Station -- > Another Transfer @
Konkuk University Station --> Arrival at Jamsil Station, Exit 4.
Went for dinner & had our groceries shopping at lotte mart !
And that is when we went crazy with Korean Mee..
 |
| Look at Jayden's groceries basket...Full! |
 |
| It's Cheap ! For a packet cost KWR 3,170 (RM 9.51) !!! Cheaper than Malaysia |
 |
| And he just went crazy with Korean Mee..Haha |
We did bought a few mee, not too much or else our luggage will be overloaded with Mee.
Overall, today is totally another fruitful day !
Love all the scenery that we took today!
Petite France & Nami Island is a must go for great scenery photography !
Hi may i know what is the difference between Gapyeong Terminal & Gapyeong Station Terminal? And the what is the dfiference between Cheongpyeong Terminal and Cheongpyeong Station? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGapyeong Terminal is bus station, Gapyeong Station is their MRT. Same goes to Cheongpyeong Terminal & Station.. One is for Bus, and another is for MRT :)
DeleteHey. Your itineraries is interesting! I just wondering if there are 2 type of shuttle bus you mention above and from petite france post? 1 is the gapyeong terminal to morning calm arboretum and vice versa, and another 1 is the shuttle bus from insadong/jamsil to nami island and vice versa?
ReplyDeletehi Fj,
DeleteThank for dropping by and great that my itineary helps !
Erm..i think the shuttle bus frm insadong/jamsil to nami island is differet from the one in gapyeong..cz the gapyeong is only go according to the route as i post in http://jayyden84.blogspot.com/2013/06/seoul-day-5-petite-france.html. U can check the bus route there.. :")
Hi! Going to Korea next week and your posts are very helpful! Am worried though cos it will be start of winter then and I'm a tropical girl lol. How many layers did you wear? Did you buy wool and fleece?
ReplyDeleteHi there, you got a very clear and nice blog to share. Just would like to ask your opinion. Which itinerary is better? Go to Nami first then continue to Petite France or visa versa? Based on your experience, which place will need more times to spend?
ReplyDeleteHi..
DeleteThanks for dropping by here.
Glad that my blog can help :")
Petite France is a small place.. But it has simply games for u to play. There's a game whereby u need to find the cop in different place to get a special gift. The cop is very cute & special. U can spend at least 2 hrs there. Meanwhile in nami, u can cycle, walk, have a nice coffee there.. It has beautiful scenery, so I will advise u to go to petite France, then nami island.. Cz there's a nearby (by taxi or bus) nearer from nami island. So it'll be just nice :")
from petite France to name taking city tour bus, where to wait for the bus? Bus stop opposite the entrance or same direction as the entrance? Where should we board the bus back to gapyeong station?
ReplyDeleteHi peillian
DeleteThank q very much for dropping by.
It will be the same direction.
But I can double check with the driver.
As for the bus back to gapyeong,it is near the the convenience store..U can check with the locals there too.:)
