You step off a coach into cold, dry air and the valley answers with a vertical scroll of ice — walls of frozen water that funnel light into shards. The tour threads three different moods in a single day: crystalline winter forms at Eobi Ice Valley, tree-lined promenades on Nami Island, and the simple mechanical joy of pedaling an old railway at Gangchon Rail Park.

Dress in layers for microclimates
