There are 3 places to hit balls in Korea:1. One of the many driving ranges--you'll know them from the green netting. Balls are a bit more expensive than you amay be used to, and some of them are on 2 or 3 tiers so the feel is a little different from hitting one into a field, but at least they are located within the city.2. Public golf courses. These are located outside the city and have some amentities. I've never been to one, but I hear they are a little more spartan than private ones. Cost is likely about $50 a round. One 9-hole (with driving range) North of Seoul is 1-2-3 Golf.3. Private courses. These have memberships (they are quoted in the newspaper, just like stocks) costing USD 100,000 to 300,000 and are 'stocked'. Everyone gets their own (usually female) caddy. There are snack huts on holes 4, 9 and 13. A sauna for afterward, a country club and restaurant for meals and...
Surfing at a Swimming Pool? Better Believe It!
by Hmmmm
Maybe swimming pools seem too mundane to you. And the ocean is too far away. A water park is a good alternative. Here, the grown-ups can relax in spas while children play on water rides, or change places and have the kids hang while the grown-ups go mental. Alot of the activities at these parks aren't for kids. There's something for every family member at most of these parks. There are many of these Water parks in Korea. Yongin Caribbean Bay is teh most famous. But my fave thus far is "Aquapia" in Cheonan.Cheonan Sangnok Aquapia is Korea's largest indoor water park at 3,500 pyeong (nearly 2 hectares), Aquapia's facilities include a 12-meter-high slide, a "flow rider" (for those who enjoy surfing) and a flowing stream pool, which, with its fast current and water pouring down from above, might make visitors feel like they're rafting.
Water Wonder: Caribbean Bay Waterpark
by Hmmmm
Yongin Caribbean Bay is an enormous park at 35,000 pyeong (about 15 Hectares), Caribbean Bay, next to Everland amusement park, contains 18 outdoor and 12 indoor facilities. The wave pool, the "adventure pool" (which includes a waterfall that pours out 2.4 tons pf water from a skull-shaped water bucket every three minutes), A 28-meter-high water bobsleigh, that is GREAT, A ahigh-speed tube Ride that takes you rapidly downstream through a long semicircular or cylindrical pipe and a GINORMOUS wave pool are some of the features.Another thing that can't be omitted is the Lazy River; The world’s longest pool. The Lazy River stretches an incredible 550 meters!You can travel indoor and outdoor on a lazy rider tube ride experiencing cool summer of the outdoor and hot winters in the indoors. I love this, it's great to chill. Before you get back to the Surf Pool, and carve up on the continuous...
Golf - Cheonan Sangnok Resort Golf Course
by Hmmmm
A great course. So large, which is great for Korea. However the fees are pretty steep. But they are worth it. This course is large enough, and far enough away from Seoul to be able to have a good hit. The Outer course is best because Punter golfers like me can really get into the swing of things (parden the oun). Golfers can hit the ball as far as they can and truly enjoy that here. The layout here is well designed. The Inner Course (middle) is a bit cleaner, and its all about playing for the green. Also its more expensive.Sangnok Resort - Cheonan offers 100 hotel rooms and 48 youth hostel rooms. A double-occupancy hotel room or a four-person youth hostel room costs 93,000 won.
Size: 9,806m (27 holes)South course: 3, 282mMiddle course: 3, 322mEast course: 3, 202m Business Hours: From sunrise to sunsetClosing Days: No Closed DaysFee: (Middle/South course)weekdays: 98,000 Wonweekends:...
Fun Mud Festival Slide!
by emmajang
I went crazy when I played in the mud once again at the Daecheon Beach for the Boryeong Mud Festival when I went there some 2 years ago. I went with my best friend and we had a lot of fun! I'll never forget the mud slide and my favorite mud challenge. We didn't finish but it was okay since we ended up laughing anyway. I will never forget the first time I went to the Korea Festival. Man, that was really crazy I had so much fun. I used to enjoy playing in the mud when I was a kid in Korea but my mom would always scold me for getting so dirty because it means she would have to wash my dirty nearly trashy clothes. I had fun then playing with my friends, neighbors, and cousins in Korea though.

hiking in bukhansen national park
by hanspeter_W.
The Bukhansan National Park in Seoul and Gyeonggi covers an area of 79.92 km². and was established on 2 April 1983. Bukhansan means "mountains north of the Han River."The park contains forested areas, temples and granite peaks. The three main peaks are Baekundae (836.5m), Insubong (810.5m) and Mangnyeongdae (799.5m). Due to its popularity with hikers and Seoul residents, some trails are closed on a rotation basis to protect the local environment.The Bukhansanseong Fortress is located in the park, together with its 9.5 km long defensive wall. A fortress was first built on this site in 132 AD to protect Seoul from foreign invasions, and it was expanded to its current size in 1711. It was reconstructed after damage sustained in the Korean War

Naejang-san and Naejang-sa
by skootter01
Naejangsa and Naejangsa are located in the same park in the Jeollabuk-do area. In Korean, "sa" means temple and "san" means mountain.The best time of year to visit is in the fall when the leaves are changing colors. Most of the trees here are deciduous and in the fall the mountainside is a mosaic of orange, red, and yellow hues.
