Just got back from Seoul, Korea. Really cold there. Day temp is around -3 deg, Everland is abt -8 deg and High-1 Resort is abt -13 deg. Please remember to bring good wool thermal wear and socks ontop of the down jacket. Hat, scarf and moisturiser are a must together with heat pads for those with young children. Wear waterproof track shoes. Ear muffs not necessary as they are cumbersome and get lost easily.

hey all,

im in seoul now… temperature is around -14 degrees and we went to the following places:

1. Jogyesa Temple
2. Hello Kitty Cafe
3. Trickeye Museum
4. Myeongdong
5. Dongdaemun - Migliore & Maxtyle
6. N Seoul Tower & Teddy Bear Museum
7. Seoul Land (with Sledding Hills)
8. Myeongdong Cathedral
9. Seoul City Hall / Seoul Plaza Ice Skating Rink
10. Cheonggyecheon Plaza / Stream
11. Insadong
12. Lotte World
13. Ttukseom Resort (Sledding Hills / Winter Activities)

Planning to go to the following places:
1. War Memorial of Korea
2. Everland
3. Gyeongbokgung / Deoksugung (for changing of royal guard duty)
4. National Folk Musem + Children Museum
5. Korean Children Snow Sledding Hills @ Children Grand Park
6. Gwanghwamun

Found Lotte World to be extremely disappointing with super long queues at rides (about 80 - 90 mins on average with some rides going on 150 mins… ) The locals there are lotte world were not friendly and were super pushy… didn’t even manage to catch the xmas parade not to say a single ride! wasted my $100!!!

Seoul Land was a great choice! Queues were so much shorter and i tink we only waited about say 5 mins max? There were much lesser ppl cuz i tink it was outdoor and pretty cold… but it was nothing less enjoyable… we had a great time there… and there was even a snow sledding hill for both adults and children… super fun and it came free!! Ttukseom Resort is another great choice for snow sledding as it was pretty near to the subway…

I’m sure it’s gonna get colder when the full winter sets in in Jan onwards. If you are still in Seoul, try to spend some time in the Lotte Dept Store at Myeongdong. Range of goods is superb, prices are reasonable n the staff speaks English. Tried to buy from the streets vendors and you may get harsh service. Once I was ‘hit’ on the back and remarked that we were from North Koreans, (considered as insult as they look down on them). Now, better to shop in peace.


Lotte World is always crowded as it is in Seoul. For Everland, be sure to try the outdoor snow sleigh ride. There is one for adult n another one for children. Great fun!!! The usual light parade and fireworks are just as impressive!

where did u stay in High 1 resort? did u take your own transport there or thru travel agt? i'm actually planning to go next year, still undecided which resort.

We stayed at the High-1 Hotel. Took a package tour as everything all arranged from rooms booking to dinner arrangement, extra peace of mind especially with young children. Some photos to share.... My kids really had fun and we were lucky as it was also snowing there!!
