27 Sep - Day 5: Yongin Everland 龙仁,爱宝乐园 @ Incheon 仁川, Gyeonggi-do


Everland - South Korea's version of Disneyland... that spans itself on the hill and at the valley... interesting concept... one could just move up/down via the chairlift. In fact, could sense that it tried to out-do Disneyland!
  • The theme for this season was Halloween. So, orange pumpkins everywhere! Casper like spirits everywhere!
  • It has 3 roller coaster rides, with one that's the world's tallest ride on wooden structure that goes as steep as 70 degrees!
  • It has more than one evening parade, that's held at almost the same time at 3 thematic areas.

  • There are 2 beautiful gardens - 4 Seasons Garden and the Rose Garden, which integrated some Greek elements in the design.

  • It even has a small zoo "Safari"... which we drove through several enclosures to see the animals.


  • There we saw lions and tigers living together - oh yes! as Annie proudly shared that here produces the cross-breed of lions and tigers - "ly-gers".
  • The other one was bears! Yeap, those black bears... definitely smaller and tamer than the ones we saw at Hokkaido... these bears are intelligent! They could recognise and perform according to the words called out by the driver... of course, the driving force was their reward! Yes, the animals were conditioned - to be rewarded (for survival sake?), they have to act as was told to... Sad, isn't it? I thought, it's cruel! Isn't this something we find in our human world?
  • Here's the entrance to the Safari - with the lion and tiger "roaring" to welcome the visitors.


4 pm: Saw something familiar... Churros! The 'gwei lo' fritters. Missed that. Think the last time had that was at EuroDisney. Not found in Hong Kong Disney. Sure, I had 2 pieces!
