Must do: Hanok Stay

One of the things I recommend everyone doing when they visit Korea is to stay in a hanok for a couple of days. For many of you sleeping on the floor seems like an uncomfortable feet, and during the cooler months you would probably think you will freeze to death. However, hanoks are extremely comfortable with floor heating, and before you know it you will not want to get up from the floor.

Chi Ong Art Gallery

five-person room

You can do Hanok Stays all over country, however if you don't have much time to travel why not stay in the Gyeonggi area which is in close proximity of Seoul..Chi Ong Art Gallery in beautiful Gapyeong, offers three, five and even ten-person rooms. Very simple and clean but equipped with the a modern kitchen and bathroom for extra comfort.

Activities

café ongongya

Chi Ong Art Gallery also offers activites for very reasonable prices, things such as Ddeok (Korean glutonous ricecake) and the making of tofu and many others. And it also has a very cozy looking coffeeshop that is open everyday from 9.30 am till 10 p.m. which doesn't only serve tea and coffee but also has wine, beer and of course the side dishes that go with them

How to get there

The easiest way to get there is with the subway, or bus. You can take the bus towards cheongpyeong from the dongseoul terminal, or bus 1330 from cheongryangli station and also get out at cheongpyeong station. From there take the bus that goes to sumokwon and get of at the chi ong arts gallery.
