A Day In Gangneung! BTS Bus Stop

My friend and I decided to go out of Seoul and visit this amazing place: Gangneung!! We chose Gangneung as our destination because the place is known for its BTS Bus Stop and Globlin's Kdrama filming spot. 

Transportation: KTX (around 2 hours from Seoul station). BOOK EARLY!!! We were original thinking of taking the bus when we got there. However, public transportation is not that convenient compared to public transportation in Seoul. Therefore, we ended up taking a taxi... TIP from taxi driver: you can find a taxi service at Gangneung station for 3 hours for just $20,000 won

1. GOT Cafe

MUST GO cafe in Gangneung!! There is a variety of bread and cakes! The cafe is very big so it won't be crowded even if a lot of people are there. There is a sky stairs on the third for to take pictures~~

2. Goblin Filming Spot/ Tofu Ice cream

This place became so popular after the Kdrama Goblin. People come here to take pictures like the ones in the drama. There is a tofu ice cream shop right across from the filming place. My friend and I ordered the tofu ice cream and matcha ice cream. They are sooooo good! I highly recommend the tofu ice cream

3. BTS Bus Stop

A lot of people, especially kpop fans, come here to visit this bus stop. BTS took their 'YOU NEVER WALK ALONE' concept photos here in 2017. It just didn't feel real to be physically at this bus stop... my dream came true~~ 

There are also some other places to visit in Gangneung, such as the fish market and the cafe street. We spent a day in Gangneung, but I think half a day is enough~  I really had a lot of time during this trip!
