First, I know minimal korean, and I am a vegetarian who don't eat onion garlic, but dairy products is fine. From Jamsil station Exit 5, walk till you see a signage says 7000 on one side, there will be a queue, and tell the driver you're going to Seorak Bus Terminal(1st Stop!) Try catch it at 1230pm (or even earlier for seats) to catch the shuttle bus(location to wait @ see 1st photo) to the village otherwise cabbing there is approx. 30,000 won. The bus ride approx. 1 hr, and wait for shuttle bus. The Village, ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING. It is really an escape from the city, I was here in the winter so it was covered in snow. Clean and minimalistic room and tons of places to explore. (pst! The hand washing area have soap and lotion). For my friend and I, most of the signage are written in complete korean, they have icons at the side which is easy to guess. They specially printed an english schedule for us, however all the activities are completely in korean. It will be difficult to follow with your eyes close, but you're free to be yourself, so it wasn't much of a problem. Not many people can converse english here. Food is provided, which has Vegan options. However as a Vegetarian, many food had onion or garlic. It is not that convenient, however chef kindly fried an egg because I was just eating rice. Breakfast was okay, and they prepared plain porridge for me too! The people (everyone!) are super friendly! TRY THEIR SPA! For people who are openminded and love mindfulness

음식이 정말 맛있고 경치나 시설은 좋았지만 더 활용 못한 아쉬움이 있어요. 인터넷이 안되니 날씨체크나 미세먼지 등 생활 정보를 얻을수 없었던 불편함이 있었지만 기본적으로 전자유해로부터 벗어난다는 보장은 좋았던 것같아요. 가끔 연 아파트에 와이파이 검색하면 여러개가 뜨면 좀 무섭더라고요. 단 프로그램이 더 다양하고 매일 명상을 할수 있는 가이드가 있다면 완벽했을듯 생각합니다

전체적으로 신선하고 좋았던 경험이었어요. 건강해지는 느낌 많이받았구요 . 다만 숙소는 숲속동 배정받았는데 올라가는데 너무 힘들어서 숙소에 자주 들르지를 못했습니다..
