BTW, the train to Sokcho is also at Cheongnyangni Station.Equinoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07139744901741148919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31197269.post-73367201846093754762013-10-28T10:37:02.424+08:002013-10-28T10:37:02.424+08:00Hi, Thanks for the introduction of the Garden of M...Hi, Thanks for the introduction of the Garden of Morning Calm.

It really helped plan my journey. <br />But I have a question: When should I buy the ticket for the city tour bus if I am boarding from Nami Island? Should I buy it when I reach Gapyeong Station in the morning by train or can I buy it when I board the bus from Nami Island?beyond heart and mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799305831192589907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31197269.post-1591657854348571542013-05-27T16:04:52.308+08:002013-05-27T16:04:52.308+08:00Of course it is possible to visit those three plac...Of course it is possible to visit those three places in one day if you observe strict time discipline. For e.g. Nami (2hrs), Petite France (1-2hrs), Garden (1-2hrs). But that is assuming you are taking the 1st city tour bus (9:10am) to Nami at Gapyeong Station. If you want to spend more time at each place, you may have to leave Seoul early at 6:00am. The city tour bus won't be operating when you reach Gapyeong Station at 7am but you are free to take a cab or a 15-20 mins walk to the ferry terminal. The first ferry to Nami is at 7:30am and after that, at half hourly interval until 9am (touch-and-go for the rest of the day). This is what I would propose:<br /><br />6am-7am: Take train from Cheongnyangni to Gapyeong Station<br />7am-8am: Find your way to Nami ferry terminal, Breakfast <br />8:00am: Take ferry to Nami<br />8:10am-10:50am: Nami Island<br />10:50am: Take return ferry<br />11:15am: Take city tour bus (opp side of terminal) to Petite France<br />11:40am: Arrive at Petite France<br />11:40am-1:40pm: Petite France, Lunch<br />1:40pm: Take city tour bus (same side as maingate) to Garden<br />2:30pm: Arrive at Garden of Morning Calm<br />2:30pm-5:00pm: Garden of Morning Calm<br />5:00pm: Take city tour bus (at carpark) to Cheongpyeong Station<br />5:25pm: Reach Cheongpyeong Station for train back to Seoul <br /><br />Garden of Morning Calm has a different theme for each season and it is worth a visit regardless of season. To see how it looks like currently, you can visit the following link:<br /><br />http://morningcalm.co.kr/?module=Board&action=SiteBoardEng&sMode=SELECT_FORM&iBrdNo=6<br /><br />Of course you can start from Garden and end at Nami but the design of the city bus tour route and timing assumes tourists will start at Nami and end at Garden. <br />Equinoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07139744901741148919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31197269.post-15811511402526840952013-05-27T14:00:41.677+08:002013-05-27T14:00:41.677+08:00Hi!

Sadly I will be in Korea this summer so I will be missing the winter lighting festival at the garden. Would you still recommend visiting the garden in summer? Because I think it closes earlier and I am afraid I wouldn't be able to fit everything into a day (I will be travelling from and back to Seoul). Also, is it better to go Garden -> Petite France -> Nami or the other way around?
