I spent a day touring the incredible sculpture park, largest one in the world. There are art works by sculptors from around the world in bronze and stone. If you are an art lover this is a destination to make a point of visiting.

Go early. We stayed at Ziguangyuen Hotel and started our journey at 5am on a village road to this Island and arrived slightly past 6am. We were lucky as even before arriving on the island, which you will need to buy ticket before crossing the bridge to the island, we could see trees with rime. The right conditions must be fulfilled before rime can be created, thus maybe a prayer the night before will help. The rime is soft and can be created on us too, as all of us grew older in minutes with rime forming right in front of our eyes.. it was a sight to behold and laugh about... now we know how we look like with grey hairs.

Relatively new ski field with good facilities. The ski lifts that have front cover to protect you from the strong winds; there's lockers to keep your skis/ boards beside the ski fields; relatively fast speed gondolas / ski lifts..what I like most is the night skiing, something to do at night! There's also the 'wave' obstacles and a mini children ski playground to practice your skills. For those tired of skiing, there the rubber tyre that you am slide down through igloos and lanes. There's not much natural snow when I was there, but there is supposedly a few lanes of off piste skiing. They have been nominated as the official partner for the 2022 Beijing winter Olympics, so hopefully they would continue building up their ski fields! Would love to come again!

Our group of 15 climbed up to the summit of Mt Paektu in mid September, and we were the only ones there! Our bus took us as far as the cable car station that takes you down to the shore of Lake Chon ("the lake of heaven"). it was not running as there was no electricity available. We climbed up to the top of Mt Paektu, which is at 2750 M. We were told to wear warm clothes, but when we got there, the weather was warm and sunny, There is a huge sign on the outside of the mountain with letters reading "Holy mountain of the revolution". The funicular was also not working, but the view from the top was quite beautiful. There is a guard rail all the way up until you almost get to the summit, where you must cross over the rail and climb up the extra 10 m. There was a guard at the top and only permitted a few in our group to climb to the top then stopped the rest of us because he felt is was too dangerous. We could see the Chinese station on the other side of the caudera. Well worth the trip to be able to claim that you were at the highest point on the Korean Peninsular.

The park was nice and well kept. Paths were well kept and flowers/gardens were very nicely maintained. It was free enter the park, but you had to pay individually for activities. There was a small amusement park and you could rent multiple types of boat. The best point for me was the people that went there and did things for fun/performance. There was Tia Chi, elderly musicians playing "classical" Chinese music, a jazz Sax player, old people singing old songs with speakers for fun, many different dance groups, religious ceremonies, running clubs, and a lot of similar type activities. You had the regular activities that you would expect for most Chinese parks, as well as a massive influence/participation of the local community.

The place was well maintained and upkeep. Can trace the steps of once glorified and false image of an emperor who betrayed his country and worked with a devil.
