Banpo Hangang Park

        Need to relax your time with your friends and family? Here is the place for you. Banpo Hangang park located on the bangs of hangang river gives a pleasant environment and cool breeze that will help to relax one’s mind. I visited this park alone on Sunday evening during autumn. There were many people who came with their family, made a tent, with their favorite food, chit chatting with their loved ones. 

        The park was large enough, they were both walking and cycling paths separately. One can rent a bicycle to ride along the park. There is also a pathway along the river side where we can see the spectacular sunset (and sunrise). Since it was autumn, there were no canola flowers which was a disappointment to me. But the colourful floating islands spreaded the colours around the area. We can also see Seoul tower from the park.

        One of the most beautiful attractions of this place is Banpo bridge where they conduct rainbow fountain. Banpo bridge is the first double-decker bridge built in South Korea. From the top side of the bridge, they conducted rainbow fountain show every evenings during March to October. The duration of this show is 20mins. And there are many show time slots available. This is the longest bridge fountain in the world. It was really beautiful to see the show on such a pleasant evening.

        There were many food trucks with different cuisines. They had gigantic telescopes also to see the stars and other planets.  Few street performers also displayed their talents to entertain the audience. There was also LED moon candle (of different shapes) rented/sold in the garden to add glitter to the scenario. It was so lovely to see different people with their families and friends, sitting around the lake and enjoying the rainbow fountain and weather. One perfect relax spot!

Korea- A country of peacefulness

Image
          If I were to pick one of the loveliest and happiest times in my life, it would be when I stayed in South Korea. I never thought south Korea would be such a stunning cheerful nation. I had the chance to spend about six months in South Korea. This was my first foreign trip and of course, my best journey. South Korea is one of the most developed countries in the world and also technologically advanced country. Kindness and Culture:           As a foreigner, when we travel to another country, what makes us to feel warm? Is it the food? Is it the technology? Is it the facilities? Absolutely not! It’s the people who makes us more comfortable. South Korea is majority of people with Kindness. I felt kindness in each and every one I met, be it in workplace or outside. The culture is so rich and welcoming. There are mostly polite. They have a great helping tendency. It was because of the kindness of my Korean colleagues as ...

Balwangsan mountain (Yongpyong Ski resort)

Image
          Balwangsan mountain would rank among my top travel experiences in South Korea, given the option to choose. I went on the entire day trip by myself. One of the longest cable cars in Asia, measuring around 7 km, was located in Balwangsan. The cable car ride to the peak took about 13–15 minutes. Snow was falling, and the weather was excellent, adding to the beauty. This was the day I had been waiting for to post the song "puthu vellai malai" in my status. Snow blanketed the entire mountain because it had been snowing all day. It also features a sizable skiing area where a great deal of people were skiing. The view of the skiers from the cable car was amazing.           I felt as though I was getting close to the blue sky after reaching the summit and gazing in the panoramic vista of the mountains spreading out beneath me. I felt as though I was floating above the sky from the top observatory since it was snowing nonsto...

Seoul International Fireworks Festival 2022

          How could I forget the evening which made the Seoul Sky colourful and made me to feel like it was morning? A great day at Seoul happened on September, Seoul International Fireworks festival. The performance took place in Yeouido Hangang Park. Since it happened after 3 years, huge set of people gathered along with their families and loved ones.           I was very amazed with how well they had prepared. They bought the necessary food, a mat, and a tent. It made the ideal display for a picnic. Even though the show planned time is only after 7 o'clock, they arrived early, and just enjoyed themselves with their loved ones. This is life. Am I right? Spending time with family and loved one’s on a special day makes the day more special.           At 7.30 p.m., the fireworks display had begun. Italy, South Korea, and Japan were the three nations that took part in the event. The show was incred...
