Details & Itinerary

Embark from your hotel and venture outside of Seoul’s borders. Note how the landscape changes as we pass the southern border mountain of Gwanaksan.

We start with a pot of Kimchi Jjigae (Pork & Kimchi Stew) that was one of the top five finalists in South Korea’s national Kimchi Jjigae competition.

Then walk off breakfast with a stroll through the active non-touristy open-air central market. See how they make sesame oil, gochugaru, and noodles. Nosh on the original market-style Korean Fried Chicken and street food.

Off we go to one of Korea’s signature quirky art parks. It’s a nature trail filled with exotic sculptures that are popular in music videos.

Lunch launches at the base of Gwanaksan Mountain at a country inn that caters to hikers. We gorge on rustic Boribap (like Bibimbap but more country), fluffy and crispy Haemuljeon (Green Onion & Seafood Pancake), and Smoked Chicken that tastes like bacon!

If you’re feeling up for it, we can take a small hike up the lush mountain trail.

As the day wanes, we stroll through downtown Anyang, which always has something fun and exciting. Our stroll ends up at a secluded rooftop garden for some scrumptious Korean BBQ.

After we’ve had our fill, the driver will take us to a secret spot atop a mountain with a breathtaking view. While sitting on the rocks, we’ll break open some of the finest craft Korean liquor and beers while toasting the end of a truly amazing adventure.

Don’t worry. We’ll get you back to your hotel. Feel free to snooze in the vehicle.
