This is a man-made lake...with a nice walking path. It is fairly large...on the north shore of the lake, there are some nice places to eat/shop. Not particularly exciting but if you are in Ilsan, this is just about the only place to go.

Well worth the visit and incredible to see how it looks from the outside so 5 stars for what you visualise... but terrible in terms of guide and history what we were told I could of read on the Internet in 10 minutes. It's so short a each place and it's not sweet, you get off the bus take photos and back on the bus there's no talk about history or a reason to why it is how it is!! One guide between 40 people is very hard to ask questions and learn why. When you do ask a question I got the such a plain answer. One tip at JSA would be to speak to one of the US personal they will tell a few things that are interesting and answer your questions about the area

If you plan to visit, it should be at night, for minimum 2 hours. There are a lot of light decorations on trees, ground and sculptures. Most of them are beautifully executed, unique and attractive. It is the largest illuminated garden that I ever visited. Worth walking around every corner. You will be really amazed by different colours.

Hwaseong Fortress in the town of Suwon is just a 30-minute train ride from Seoul. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Korea’s most important historical treasures and is the only remaining walled fortress in the country.
it was very special experience. Hwaseong tour with native Korean we went his home, ate samgyeobsal. I experienced native korean culture:)

Everland was Korea’s first family park and is still one of its most popular. There is a safari area featuring lions, tigers and bears, a water park, and some of the country’s most famed, lush Gardens.
Theme park loaded with all age fun from adventure, carnival, zoo and food. Friendly staffs, good transport and free parking. Some attractions are closed due to maintenance and seasonal shutdown which is disappointing. Try be there early as possible to enjoy all and expect long wait for popular rides.

This is one of the best Asian zoos we have visited. Their newer sections (particularly leopard/bear/tiger) are first-class and provide excellent habitats and good enrichment for the animals. They are in the process of more renovations, so expect some closures and construction activity.
The Zoo is quite large and has steep pathways from the entrance to the top. The best way to visit is to get a day pass for the chairlift at the bottom of the mountain (go to the lift house rather than take the "Elephant Train" from the Metro station (10 min walk)). You then have a fun ride to the Zoo gate. Buy a ticket, go in and to the chair lift immediately inside, which you ride to the top of the Zoo. From there, there are several possible paths down through the various exhibits. When you get to the bottom (entrance/exit), ride up again. Repeat as desired!
Across the road is the children's zoo (small) and the "Theme Garden" which depending on the season can be spectacular. We visited during the Rose Festival (late May-early June) and it was amazing.

There was bigger with Reservoir than I think. Many local people walked and ran around Reservoir, and the atmosphere was good. There had several facility including bungee jumping, trail and performance area, etc. There was very good place to enjoy rest with family. The parking area was big, and 2 hours free. Only one demerit was some private tomb was located inside. It was certain that there was good local park.

I loved Dumulmeori for the fabulous mountain views across the intersection of the two rivers. The place is wide with lots of other tourists. You can enjoy snacks and food at affordable prices. It was quite great to take a photo with the Zelkova Tree. It wold be nice to visit.

I have always wanted to visit this place, but thought I would never get there!
Excellent place to visit.
Dorosan Station
Get in to the station quick. They have some interesting souvenirs and you only get 15 minutes.
Hint: buy a ticket at Dorosan station for your trip to North Korea (one way only!). Great memento.
Lookout site.
Get to see North Korea and some of the guardhouses alone the border.
Tunnel site.
The tunnel ride is not for the disabled, so spend some time, doing the movie and the museum. Very interesting to read about the tunnels and the various incidents.
Lots of space, to wander around, but not much to see at the tunnel site otherwise.

this is a must-visit place when in Korea...amazing mix of nature( the autumn foliage was spectacular), culture (from the authentic structures to the live cultural workshops) and entertainment (performances and "villagers" and even visitors are in traditional Korean garb)...not as crowded as Nami because KFV is huge! there's even a theme park for kids.. i regret that we did not fully tour the place since we got sidetracked in gangnam and arrived late in the afternoon, but what we saw was really awesome. a lot of kdrama shows and movies were shot here. but even if one is not a Kdrama fan, KFV will surely impress
