This expansive sandy beach is a great place to spread out on and enjoy sand volleyball or sand soccer. Its close proximity to area hotels makes it an easy pick for a weekend itinerary. It is also a 10-minute taxi ride (10,000 won or $8.32) away from the Daecheon Station and bus terminal. „"%%3&4

CONTINUED Sky Bike FROM PAGE 9 (ऄޭԨޭॠځࢰੋٟݨ߆ͤ)

Another activity you must try at Daechen Beach is the Sky Bike. Plan ahead as there are only two sessions per day: from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. I waited for about 20 minutes to get a “waiting ticket” and spent 15 minutes more until my number was called. Sometimes the tickets are all sold out earlier than its closing time, so come early and spend some time around the beach after you get the waiting number ticket. Since this attraction requires a minimum of two riders, I asked one couple from Humphreys in the line to ride together with me. The more people in your party, the lower the ticket costs. We paid 26,000 won for three people. Hop on and pedal on a track 15 meters above the sea and enjoy the stunning view of the West Sea. The red- and yellow-colored railroad track is automated, you can stop pedaling for a while and sit back and relax. The 40-minute round trip ride was enjoyable, and the sea breeze felt nice. „"%%3&44

ZipTrek (zipline)

From the Sky Bike you’ll notice the joyful cheers of people on the nearby zipline. I headed there next for a more accelerated adrenaline rush. Since it’s the summer holiday season, expect a bit of wait to hop on. I paid 18,000 won for my zipline ticket and spent time on the beach during the 40-minute wait for my turn. You can also buy an entrance ticket to the observation deck from the 53-meter-high launch point, which includes free beverages and is discounted with a zipline ticket purchase. Whatever you pick to do while you wait, you’ll hear your number called over the loudspeakers. After I placed my belongings at the ticket counter, the guides got me outfitted in a harness, helmet, and the other necessary gear to launch off on the 613-meter-long zipline, which can reach speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour. After a quick photo with the ocean view as my backdrop, the guide counted down before launching me off the zipline platform. The ocean breeze whipped past my face, I was overtaken by adrenaline and the view of the sunset took my breath away. While it may seem a little pricey at first, it was worth every penny and I would definitely do it again. „)063&4

Know rules of passing while driving in a tunnel

STORY AND PHOTO BY CHIHON KIM, STRIPES KOREA

hile it is possible to explore South Korea by public transportation like a train or bus, driving around Wis a fun and easy way to discover this country. When you’re driving on the road, the mountain scenery is probably the most familiar landscape from your car. Over 70 percent of Korea is mountains, which means your travels will likely take you through many of the tunnels running under the mountainous terrain. Here’s what you should know before you go! Prior to 2019, traffic laws banned lane-changing within tunnels in South Korea. Now, the rules are slightly eased and the former solid line on the road is now dotted in cer- tain tunnels. The new rules allow lane changes when abso- lutely necessary, but never to overtake a car in front of you. Note that this does not apply to all tunnels and most still have the solid lines. Some regions also have surveillance cameras at the entrance, center and exit of tunnels to en- sure drivers are staying in their lanes. Pay attention to the roads and don’t forget to mind the solid and dotted lines. Driving in South Korea can be a great experience, so don’t let the rules keep you from hit- ting the open road!
