14 Nov 2018 - Truly enjoyable rail ride at 강촌 레일파크


Itinerary for the day was a rail ride at the Gangchon Rail Park.
Our subway ride took about 2hrs 5mins from Honggik Univ Station to Gimyujeong Station.
Gangchon Rail Park was less than 5 mins walk from Gimyujeong Station, exit 1.
From exit 1, turn to your right and you will see the rail park.
Excited!!!
We bought our ride ticket via Klook.
Collected our tickets at the ticket office near the entrance.



Finally its our turn!
It seems like we were the only group who bought tickets for the Virtual Reality (VR)ride.
There were many places with rail rides in Korea.
I chose to come here becos it offers VR ride in one of the tunnel.
There are 4 tunnels and the last one offers the VR experience.
Off we go!!

One need not really have to paddle hard.


The Bubble tunnel was quite fun ^^





Me trying to catch the bubbles too lol







This tunnel felt like a starry cave lol
It was very beautiful but of course my pictures could not justify for that..







The next tunnel was the VR tunnel.
Obviously no time to take pictures in the tunnel becos we were too BUSY shooting missiles.

The whole experience felt so real!!!
All of us agreed this was well worth the trip and experience.
The VR was optional and only at an additional fees of 5000 won!
So cheap!!
On the way to the rest stop.
At the rest stop.
It was super cold and our hot chocolate felt like the BEST beverage we had ever drink before lol
At the rest stop.
Get your hot drinks, take whatever pictures you want and get on the Nangman train to Gangchon Station(Gangchon Village Parking lot) where there is a free shuttle bus back to Gimyujeong Station.
We chose the open roof seats despite the cold weather.
Cos we wanted to enjoy the view ^^
Time flies...
That was the end of our day trip for the Rail ride.
Nevertheless, we enjoyed ourselves very much!
There was no clear direction where to go for the free shuttle bus to Gimyujeong Station.
We just walked towards the car parks.
At last, I saw that signage.
It was about 5mins walk from where we got off the train.
We need to go back to Seoul becos Shar and ZY were flying back to SG in the evening.
The free shuttle back to Gimyujeong Station.
Our free shuttle drove off at 12.35pm.
Always take note of the train schedule especially for stations out of Seoul becos the waiting time could be long if you miss it.
