after the awesome autumn colours at nami island 남이섬 南怡岛, we were back at the ferry point on Chuncheon 春川.
the next train from gapyeong was 1.30pm. so it was just good time for us to have a dakgalbi 닭갈비 chicken ribs lunch at one of the many dakgalbi restaurants here.

we picked mr dakgalbi.
they all felt the same to me.another we walked in earlier charged the same 11,000pax.
mr dakgalbi is next to the ‘Topland’ bungee jump tower in the huge carpark area at the ferry point to depart for nami island. while we were dining, we saw one jumper leaping off the bungee tower.

we walked in at 12pm. there were still a few tables. shortly, it got quite crowded.

we didn’t expect much from a dakgalbi dish.
i think we can all cook chicken thighs or ribs better la…anytime really!
but it’s a famous dish in Chuncheon 春川, so since we were here might as well take it. not expensive anyway. 🙂

some chicken pieces & cabbage.
did not look like a lot for 2pax but it was enough.

not much effort or skill required also.

& any meat, belly or pork steak or chicken, all come out nicely with gochujang.
and there were some korean spicy rice cake (ddeokbokki: 떡볶이). ordinary perhaps, but still a gratifying lunch.

it’s one of the many korean dramas my family watched (still watches). haha!
we went on a korea tour in 2003 & during winter! covering chuncheon 春川, soraksan, sokcho 束草, yongpyong ski resort, when the children were still quite young.
strangely though, i remembered clearly that our korean driver took us to (to be safe especially driving in treacherous winter roads, we had a personal paid english speaking korean driver & MPV to take us for the entire trip) –
enter yongsan & gapyeong in the “Departure/Arrival” boxes,
choose itx-cheongchun in the “Train” dropdown menu,
pick your date & hit “Inquiry” button (they meant Enquiry la…)
be at the ticket window of a korail station early to collect your tickets
be at the ticket window of a korail station early (with passport & reservation confirmation slip) to collect your tickets – like 1/2hr before.
itx train
train was quite comfortable.
on our way back though, we did not make reservation, so had to stand (sit on the floor) almost the entire journey! it was a friday! so look at the timetable & book your return as well.
gapyeong station
we arrived at gapyeong station in chuncheong about 9.30am.
commuter bus stop opposite side of road, gapyeong station
we crossed over the road to take the commuter bus. can’t remember the fare. paid with our T-money card.
tour bus stop outside gapyeong station
the tourist shuttle bus cost 5,000 won. we were taking just one stop to nami island so did not need that.
nami island ferry point shops
there are many dakgalbi (chicken rib) 닭갈비 restaurants at the ferry point carpark area.
we later had lunch at mr dakgalbi. ^^
