Day 1: Fri, Oct 15 – HONOLULU. Depart Honolulu.

Day 3: Sun, Oct 17 – SEOUL. After breakfast, start the day with a drive by Blue House, the executive office and official residence of the president of the Republic of Korea. Blue House literally means “pavilion of blue tiles,” which the house is known for. Then explore Gyeongbok Palace, National Folk Museum, and Bukchon Hanok Village. Gyeongbok Palace was the main royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1910). Located within the grounds of Gyeongbok Palace, the National Folk Museum uses replicas of historic objects to illustrate the history of the Korean people. Bukchon Hanok Village is a residential area in Seoul with countless hanoks (traditional Korean houses). After lunch, tour and shop at Insadong Antique Street, Cheonggyecheon Stream, and Dongdaemun Market Shopping. The traditional culture of Korea is represented in Insadong Antique Street. Stores in Insadong specialize in a wide variety of goods including ceramics, earthenware, calligraphy materials, antique furniture, hanbok (traditional clothing), hanji (traditional paper), traditional teas, souvenirs, cute accessories, and folk crafts. Stroll along Cheonggyecheon Stream, running through downtown Seoul. Dongdaemun Market is Korea’s largest wholesale and retail shopping district – where a wide variety of goods can be found at a reasonable price – and it’s open 24 hours a day! Tour Yangnyeongsi Herb Medicine Market. Enjoy dinner before returning to the hotel. (B, L, D)

Day 4: Mon, Oct 18 – SEOUL – CHUNCHEON – PYEONGCHANG. After breakfast, travel to Chuncheon and nearby Nami Island, the half-moon shaped isle famous for its tree lined roads and being the filming site of the Korean Drama “Winter Sonata.” Next, walk across the Soyang River Skywalk. From a distance, it looks like just a bridge on the river. But when you get closer, you realize that it’s a bridge with a transparent glass floor that allows you to see the river below as you walk over the bridge – giving you the thrill of walking on the lake. Located next to the skywalk is the Virgin Statue, inspired by the popular Korean pop song Soyanggang Virgin. After lunch, travel to Pyeongchang to learn to make Injeolmi (rice cake) at Jeonggangwon. Jeonggangwon is the nation’s first museum dedicated to educating visitors on traditional Korean food culture. Enjoy the Injeolmi with Bibimbap (Korean rice with mixed vegetables) for dinner.

Be one with Mother Nature as you take a stroll along the thousand-year old fir tree forest. Then, learn how to make a wooden bead bracelet. Next, observe a Dado (Korean Tea Ceremony). The subtle fragrance wafting from the well-brewed tea will relax your body and clear your mind as the hurriedness of urban life fades away as you cozily chat with monks and fellow participants. For lunch, enjoy Gongyang (Buddhist Meal Service). After lunch, travel to Gangneung and tour the Jeongdongjin Hourglass Park where the world’s largest hourglass sculpture is at its centerpiece. Filled with approximately 8 tons of sand and weighing 40 tons, it takes whole year for the sand to trickle down to the bottom before the hourglass is turned over and restarted at midnight on New Year’s Day each year.

Built during the early Joseon Dynasty (1392–1910), Ojukheon House remains one of the oldest wooden residential buildings in Korea. It was designated as Treasure No. 65 in 1963. Then visit Seongyojang Old House, the former residence of nobleman, Naebeon Lee (1703–1781). It was designated Important Folklore Material No. 5 in 1967. It is said that 10 generations of descendants of Naebeon Lee have continued to live at Seongyonjang.

(B, L, D)

After lunch, travel to Seoul where the we will spend some time shopping at Namdaemun Market.

The market, which is spread out over several blocks, has the largest collection of interesting and traditional Korean items for sale in one place. It has been said: if it is sold in Korea, or anywhere else in the world, then you will most likely find it at one of the many stalls here. Relax over dinner before transferring to the hotel for the evening. LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG (3 Nights) (B, L, D)

Day 8: Fri, Oct 22 – SEOUL. After breakfast, give your senses a thrill at the Trick Eye Museum. Trick Eye is shortened from the phrase “Trick of the eye” and refers to the traditional art technique Trompe-l’oeil that turns two dimensional paintings into three dimensional images through the use of optical illusions.
