Kangwon Land

Wow! I finally had some kind of holiday! Mid-day Friday I took the train to Kangwon Land which is a set of hotel complexes built around a mountain which is great for skiing in the winter and I believe the only casino that Korean nationals can gamble at.

There is still a lot of construction going on there with is seems like a few new hotels going up. The place is still quite amazing with big grounds and all the things you would expect of a big casino hotel.

Here are the official links:

High 1 Resort (Where we stayed)

We went to a show in the theater which by all observation looked like a modern form of Swan Lake which was performed by a Russian group. Then we went outside to see the water, light and fireworks show which I managed to capture 90% of on my camera... I am determined now to get a bigger memory card :/

So I took some photo's... Oh and unfortunately I didn't get this but the road down from the mountain has a series of grooves in it and when a car drives down the road the tires going over the grooves plays a song :)

** Update **

Just found this on Youtube:

Anyway I might catch it if I go back in winter for some snow stuff :)

Here are the photos and video:

Until next week have a fantastic time! :)
