Good morning Korea! Wake up to a great breakfast spread at the hotel. Today, you will explore one of the most memorable sites for a day trip in Seoul-- Nami Island.

Do grab a bite of the pan-fried rice cake as you go in search of Winter Sonata tributes.

The last stop for the day is Gangchon Railbike in Gangwon. As the name suggests, the group is invited to experience boarding a rail bike (bicycle paddle activity on sharing basis) on the old tracks of Gangchon, complemented by the refreshing countryside sights.
