K-Travel:出走首爾!韓國編輯推薦3個一日遊地點

Seoul is definitely an exuberant city to spend time, but if Seoul alone cannot fulfill your traveller’s soul, you might consider going on day trips. Korea is comparatively a small country, considering the fact that it only takes a few hours by high-speed train to go to Busan, a popular southern coastal area. Therefore, just about any city in the country could be possible for day trips! But before we go too far, let’s start with the nearby cities, located within two hours from Seoul by our efficient and affordable transportation system. Check out the best three day trips I recommend for you!

首爾絕對是一個足夠讓你玩樂消閒的城市,但若然它已經不能夠滿足你那顆熱愛旅遊的心,那你就不妨考慮不同類型的一天遊。首爾是一個相對較細的城市,即使要前往位置於南部沿海比較出名的釜山,乘搭高速列車亦只需數小時。因此,你幾乎可以在首爾出發,選擇任何一個地方作一天遊。讓我們首先從和首爾相距約兩小時車程的地方開始吧,以下是3個由韓國小編推薦的地方,下次到首爾旅遊不妨到這裡一天遊吧!

Paju(坡州)

If you’re looking for a picturesque place, Paju is the answer. Home to about 380 painters, musicians, writers, and architects, Heyri Art Village is a popular destination in Paju. Take advantage of the artful buildings and galleries, get lost in the secret alleyways, and feel the artists’ vibe. They say you don’t have to know about art to enjoy art. For dear hallyu fans, I recommend having a meal at the Farmer’s Table where the drama Boys Over Flowers was filmed! At night, a nearby area called Provence glows up for a light show, so you might as well check out that place if you have time.

如果你正在尋找一個美麗的地方,那必定要去坡州。Heyri Art Village是坡州內的一個熱門旅遊點,那裡集合了約380個畫家、音樂家、作家和建築師等藝術家的工作室。利用不同建築物和畫廊的巧妙設計,在神密的小巷內穿梭和感受那股藝術氣息。那裡的人都說藝術不必去了解,只需去感受。另外,韓粉們記著必定要在Farmer’s Table用膳啊,因為那兒就是《花樣男子》的拍攝場地!有時間的話,可以於晚上到附近的Provence觀看燈光秀。

Chuncheon (春川)

If you are considering a nature-themed getaway from the bustling city life, Nami Island in Chuncheon is your best fit. Instead of cars and skyscrapers, the island is full of tree-lined nature paths. Walk along the riverside and admire nature’s beauty, while nature-inspired sculptures and artworks would keep you entertained. Rent a bike to explore the inner areas of the island. Now, it would be disappointing to talk about Nami Island without mentioning the famous drama Winter Sonata. Nami Island is beautiful at any time of the year, but if you want to feel the romantic ambiance of the drama, the best time to visit would be in fall and winter. The hotspot for couples and tourists is the wooden table where Bae Yongjun and Choi Jiwoo kissed. A round of applause for the couple that can replicate the kiss scene!

如果你想過一個遠離煩囂的假期,春川的南怡島是不二之選。沒有高樓大廈及汽車,取而代之的是綠樹成蔭的自然小路。沿著河邊散步,大自然的美景彷如一件件的藝術品,令人流連忘返。你亦可以選擇租一架單車,去發掘島上不同的角落。說起南怡島必定要提的就是著名的韓劇《冬日戀歌》。南怡島是四季怡人的小島,任何時間都有不同的迷人風景,但如果你想感受劇中浪漫的氣氛,那你就要選擇在秋季和冬季到訪。最受情侶和遊客歡迎的就是戲中裴勇俊和崔智友親吻的那一張木桌子,你也可以和情人在那裡把那一幕再重新演譯啊!

必定要吃的Dalk Galbi

P.S. You can’t say that you visited Chuncheon without tasting the city’s best dalk galbi, a dish of stir-fried chicken and veggies in a spicy sauce – and I’m dead serious. (認真說,若你沒有吃過當地最美味的Dalk Galbi (以辣醬去炒雞肉和蔬菜),你就不能說你去過春川喔!)

Suwon (水原)

If you are looking into a romantic historical hike, this is the place you should be. Walk along the beautiful stone walls of Hwaseong Haenggung (fortress), a UNESCO-enlisted world heritage site that outlies the city. Start from Paldalmun (the south gate) and feel free to weave in and out of the gates to feel the old and new Suwon. Tired of walking? Pick up some of the traditional Korean snacks along your walk and take a rest on the hilltops. Next, head over to the archery field at Yeonmundae. Here you can shoot arrows to gauge your potential as an archer or you can simply take archery lessons from instructors dressed in ceremonial robes on the weekends.

如果你想來一趟浪漫的歷史之旅,那水原就是你該要到訪的地方。沿著被聯合國教科文組織列入為世界遺產的華城堡壘石牆行走,從八達門開始,隨意進出不同的大門去感覺新舊交替的水原。走到累的時候就隨時在沿路的小攤買點韓國傳統小食,再到山頂休息。接著可以到Yeonmundae的射箭場一顯身手,可以測試一下自己有沒有成為弓箭手的潛質,你亦可以報讀由穿著傳統服式的導師所教授的基本射箭課程。

On a personal note, the best part of the trip was the last – the reason why I called it a “romantic” historical walk. When the sun sets, the dim lights along the fortress walls create a moody scene. Seeing the fortress glow magnificently feels as if you are taking a moonlight stroll in the old times. Don’t miss the pavilions for a goodnight kiss.

就小編而言,這個行程最好的部分亦是我形容為「浪漫」的地方,就是當夕陽西下,昏暗的燈光沿著城牆而亮,營造了一個截然不同的場景。閃閃發光的堡壘壯觀得令人像在月光下置身於舊時代裡漫步。記著別錯過和愛人在涼亭裡來一個goodnight kiss啊!
