Samyang Ranch Korea

Samyang Ranch in Pyeongchang is dubbed as Asia's largest green pasture on a plateau,
before I come here, all I know about Samyang is their instant noodle...

Samyang famous ramen- picture stole from Google


Samyang Ranch actually very famous among local and it is very famous filming location of Korea drama!!!
Does this remind you of Winter Sonata? Haha it does right? But this is not Winter Sonata filming location!


The weather was exceptional cold on that day- we were hiding our hands inside the pocket otherwise all fingers would be frozen.

This tree been used as a backdrop for Korean drama- thus it become most famous tree. This is one of the must stop scenery in this ranch.


Wind mill here is used to generate electricity to over 30,000 homes nearby. 



This place is simply beautiful rite?





The map of the ranch. This place is very large, even travel by car it will take you two hours to cover the whole area.

    Hi,

    I am going to korea in 4 days time and would like to visit this place.

    I read from the internet it the shuttle bus does not operate during winter time.

    May I know how else can i get to this place?

    I planning to use this route:

    Take an intercity bus from Dong Seoul Bus Terminal to Hoenggye From Hoenggye Intercity Bus Terminal, take a taxi to Eco green campus.

    Hi Angie,

    Thank you for dropping by.

    Going by taxi would be only option.

    We booked taxi from Yongpyong Ski Resort touring the Samyang Ranch for whole afternoon and the journey from the resort to the ranch is about 40 mins ride.

    There is no bus service in the ranch during winter hence you need to walk a lot to tour the ranch. The ranch is huge and hilly and since it is winter the walking will be very challenging.

    Else you may book the taxi to tour the ranch but it will be very pricey. If you going in a group of four, be prepared to pay taxi charges about RM200 per pax for 3 hours ride.

    Bring your own food as there is only one convenience shop that sell samyang instant noodle.

    Have fun in Korea!!
