CHAPTER 117 – WINTER SONATA AT YONG PYONG RESORT

Jan 7th

Yong Pyong Resort, South Korea

The Yong Pyong Resort is located at a very inhabitable range of 700 meters above sea level. Yong Pyong Resort is found at the eastern edge of Asia, about 200km from Seoul, the capital city of South Korea. With an annual snowfall average of 250cm, the surrounding area possesses a beautiful environment, which allows for the enjoyment of a wide array of winter sports including skiing from mid-November to early April. On its 4,300 acres, you will find a 45-hole golf course, 31 ski slopes, premium hotels, European-style condominiums and many other leisure facilities that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

The Yong Pyong Resort was born in 1975 as the first ever modern facility of its kind in South Korea. Now it is innovating a new leisure culture known as “Korea’s Ski Mecca” with a growing reputation as an internationally-renowned resort.

One of the hotel that I stayed in when I was in Korea with my family last spring. Which is also one of the shooting location of the famous Korean love drama, “Winter Sonata”.
