Yangpyeong
One day covers the riverside sights and outdoor fun; add a night for rail‑bike or hot‑spring stay.
Yangpyeong is a forest‑rich county in Gyeonggi, popular with Seoulites for a quick nature escape. The confluence of the Buk‑ and Nam‑hangang rivers, bike trails, rail‑bike, paragliding and temples can be explored in a half‑day, while a night lets you enjoy hot‑spring hotels or the rail‑bike route at leisure.

Rules in force · 5
- East Asia ↗Every border in East Asia is a full international border, Hong Kong and Macau included: an entry permission for one never covers the next.
- East Asia ↗Ferries between Korea, Japan and China cancel in rough seas and typhoons; keep a flight or a spare day behind every sea leg.
- South Korea ↗Check K-ETA and visa status on the official sites before you fly; the list of nationalities exempted from registering online changes year by year.
- South Korea ↗Google Maps gives poor walking and driving directions in Korea; use Naver Map or Kakao Map for routes.
- South Korea ↗Buy a T-money card (or use a phone-based transit pass) for subway and buses; it also pays at convenience stores and many taxis.
