TRAVELLIVE 11-2016
My two little nieces are giggling with each other, building their “old” snowman. However severe winter is, it brings something miraculous to little kids. They are excited to go around, showing off their colorful new winter clothes. They look like pretty bears with the wool gloves and hat that their grandmother knitted for them. And the happiness of an adult like me is watching them and seeing enjoyment sparkle in their eyes. I love curling up in a small corner of Hanoi, sipping a cup of hot chocolate with sweet marshmallow. Just a sip can warm up your entire winter. This winter, my family is travelling to a foreign country in which winter is far different from that in Hanoi. Outside the hotel, where my children are playing, snow has already covered the entire roof, putting its white coat on the land, trees, and fields. And who doesn’t love snow? But suddenly I miss my Hanoi with bitter winds which usually chill while I am strolling down narrow streets. Losing my train of thoughts, when I look back, the children have finished their snowman and start playing with snowflakes in various shapes. I just relax and silently take in the winter far from home. And you, have you prepared for your winder journey? Don’t hesitate to share it with us!

Skiing from Gangwon-do<br />
to... Seoul<br />
Lasting from November to February,<br />
winter in Korea is drier and colder than<br />
in tropical countries like Vietnam. The<br />
temperature is always under 0 degrees,<br />
and even drops down to -6 degrees<br />
in January. Upon the first snowflakes<br />
falling on the mountains, ski resorts<br />
are eager to welcome visitors from<br />
around the world. With the most<br />
annual snowfall, Gangwon-do is<br />
home to the most ski resorts in Korea,<br />
though many great resorts are situated<br />
just outside Seoul, allowing for quick<br />
and convenient ski trips.<br />
Gangwon-do<br />
Tucked away in the mountains at<br />
about 700m above sea level, Alpensia<br />
Resort is known for its excellent snow<br />
quality and sweeping views of the<br />
majestic Daegwallyeong Mountain<br />
Range. The resort offers 6 slopes with<br />
various courses for skiers at different<br />
skill levels and can accommodate up to<br />
3,000 people. As the main venue for<br />
the Pyeonchang 2018 Winter Games<br />
Olympics, Alpensia Resort has recently<br />
been the subject of buzz across the<br />
nation and within the international<br />
sports community. Don’t miss the<br />
chance to witness and experience the<br />
special completion venues as well as<br />
facilities equipped for the upcoming<br />
Olympics.<br />
The Daemyung Vivaldi Park Ski<br />
World is the first in Korea to offer<br />
nighttime skiing. It has become a<br />
favorite destination for young skiers<br />
with exciting slope names such as<br />
Hip-Hop, Techno, and Funky. Some<br />
of more advanced slopes are designed<br />
with unexpected twists and turns for<br />
maximum thrills. For those who are new<br />
to the sports, Daemyung Vivaldi Park<br />
Ski World provides the perfect setting to<br />
safely enjoy skiing and snowboarding.<br />
All you need to do is choose the suitable<br />
slopes and work your way up to the<br />
more advanced courses.<br />
Adjacent to an oak forest, Oak Valley<br />
Snow Park is smaller than most ski<br />
parks in Korea. As a result, it offers a<br />
cozy, welcoming atmosphere and ski<br />
slopes free from the usual crowds.<br />
It is also one of the best parks for<br />
snowboarders because there is plenty of<br />
space to try new maneuvers.
