We took the KTX to busan from Seoul Station. Ticket can get from the ticketing counter at Seoul Station. They can speak simple English so no worries :) from KTX, there are KTX speedy train, there's slower ones that stop at more stations... and it takes 5hours to reach Busan from Seoul via the slower one... Otherwise its just 2+ to 3hours journey via fast KTX. As you can see... The cost of the 2 tickets (to and fro) totals up to around 100,000won... quite pricey la The slower train is cheaper though
Do buy tickets in advance!! Otherwise, if the train at the timing is crowded, you might have to buy the ticket for the standing cabin.. i.e. you have to stand throughout the whole journey of about nearly 3hours! of cos you can find place to seat when no officer walking by...
on our way to the Seoul Station early in the morning... *yawns*
hahahahahha!
The timings!
Railway tracks!
this is not our train! haha
and... reached!
went up to the platform and found the exit!
Korean pigeon lol
outside the station!
we walked a little distance to the subway! it accepts Tmoney!
Towards Gamcheon Village! at Exit 6
walk along this stretch towards a Hospital bus stop... should have buses that go towards the village
Bus does not accept T Money if Im not wrong... You can use coins or notes but best if you can give exact... so you dont have to ask for the change... 900won-1200won depending the destination.
reached the Village! The road up is steep and winding! and very narrow... you will see lots of cutesy houses beside the windows.
we wanted to go over to the observatory that has an overview of the colourful village... but no idea where exactly to walk towards... neither did we see the sign board hanging above... ill show you later... so we went to the wrong direction lol
we went up the overhead bridge...
we decided that we totally have no idea where... so we sought help at a church nearby the bus stop... and an info uncle helped us! haha totally cute please
this uncle! he wasnt wearing the red singlet earlier... but after we asked for info he wore it on and brought us around! hahah like our tour guide!
its pretty steep... and no railings... they have walls though... so if u are worried, wear proper shoes and hold on to the walls
yay!!
Got to know 2 new friends from HK!
came down the observatory to find my sg friends! wow so coincidental!
exercising area! hahha
tada! this is the sign board you should find!!
this is the overhead bridge we went up wrongly lol
next stop: HAEUNDAE BEACH!
thats how the Haeundae beach stn looks like
Paranomic view!
this is the lighthouse you can go and take photos! its some touristy place as well... but quite far from the beach ah... the walking distance may take quite long...
NEXT STOP/LAST: GWANGAN's GWANGALLI BEACH!
best seen at night I heard... due to the lightings :)
and back to Busan ktx station! thats our dinner/lunch i forgot hahah I think Lunch ba... we had fast food as Dinner at Seoul station...
