Sanjung Lake — Attraction in Pocheon-si

It rained a lot yesterday, which means today is the perfect day to visit 산정호수. Thanks to the rain, the waterfalls—from the entrance all the way to the top—are overflowing with emerald beauty. With the newly opened roads, it now takes just a little over an hour from Seoul, so I grabbed a coffee early and aimed to get there by 9:30 a.m. to beat the traffic.

My usual route is to take the hiking trail that leads up to 등룡폭포 (the “Soaring Dragon Waterfall”). Today, I was lucky—the rain had brought so many waterfalls to life along the way. I usually skip the peak to save energy for a relaxing walk around the lake later on.

Before that, though—brunch is a must. By the time I come down from the trail, it’s already around 11 a.m. Instead of following Instagram reviews or ratings this time, I decided to try a place I always pass by: 등산로가든.

Still, as always, I wrapped things up with an ice americano and 단팥빵 from a century-old bakery before heading back to Seoul around 1 p.m. to avoid the Sunday traffic.

산정호수 never disappoints—what an...

Came here almost every year. I think the most succesful visit was last weekend visit. This year, 2022~2023 korea has a lot of snow falling. As well as the day before I visited here, snow fell. I added pics from years ago and also from last weekend's visit. There were so many people but we can still ride the sled or the bicycle or the train by waiting 40 to 60 min. It is still acceptable. They have better system this year, allowing us to get waiting number before finally buy tickets. There are so many rides, but for the note only penguin and duck cycle are allowed in the ice area. For the santa cycle, you must ride through the snow. I can not ride it at all to tell you the truth. So difficult to steer 😲 😱 But my son can ride it very well. (Shame on me!) Oh they have mini amusement park where you can ride...
