Everland Resort, South
korea: A Mesmerizing place
I always dreamed of visiting Everland Resort
which is “South Korea's largest theme park” and ranked sixteenth in the world
for amusement park attendance in 2014. Everland resort has two major
attractions named Everland and Caribbean bay (Water Park). I planned this tour
two days and one night 2D1N. The journey began on the 16th September 2016. The
first step of the tour was traveling from Seoul Staion to Everland Resort, so here
is the detail of each content.
Transportation
Since subway
is the most affective and cheaper mode of transportation in South Korea,
therefore it is highly recommended to travel to Everland Resort by subway. All
you have to do is, take Seoul metro from any station and get off at GIHEUNG
subway station (marked in the map) on Bundang line. “A dedicated mini driverless subway” runs from GIHEUNG subway
station to Everland station. Evelrand station is the last stop of subway. It takes around 30 minutes to reach Everland
staion from GIHEUNG subway station. Dedicated subway runs between 5.30 am to
11.30 pm seven days a week. The way from GIHEUNG subway station to Everland
station contains mountains and lush greenery as could be seen in the picture.
Next step is getting off from subway at the Evelerand station, leaving the
station will lead you to the parking lot of Everland Resort. From parking lot,
dedicated shuttles of Eveland Resort will take you to your designations (free
of cost).
Other ways of
coming to Everland resort from different location by bus is mentioned in the

52000 KRW. More details of tickets can be seen on link
