Weather was still not good. Should be around 10 degree celsius.
took the cable car up the mountains to view the scenery. there wasn't any snow at all, so of cos, no skiing.
And, we are required to pay an additional $12000 won for the ride.

Yongpyong Resort - in cable car






















I guess it was Spring time, thus the whole place is so empty. We even had to close the door of the cable car on our own as there wasn't much staff around to help or guide us. Lol.

Even when we reached the top, it was still pretty empty. most shops are not even opened for business. Thus, nothing for us to do or see.

Too misty~

And, lots of photos from Winter Sonata..

Had some hot chocolate in the only cafe that is opened.
And, managed to get some warmth with the fireplace.

Winter Sonata

Again, there was nothing much for us to do or explore as there was only some shops around the area.

But, no surprises, it's pork steamboat again.
We ended up eating more mushrooms than the main ingredient, pork. Lol
