Hi,
Do you know how long to travel to yongpyong resort from sokcho si?
Thanks
It really depends on from where u depart. If u take a bus from Sokcho Bus Terminal to Gangneung takes around 1 hour & from Gangneung take a bus to Hoenggye 30 mins. At Hoenggye take their free shuttle bus or taxi. So approx. 2hours. Or u may take the shuttle bus from Seoul direct to Yongpyong resort for approx 28,000won. Travel time around 2.5 hours. May check details here http://www.yongpyong.co.kr/eng/trans/tr_sbus.asp
