We went to check out #9, the statue of the Soyang River Maiden . . .
Here is a picture of the tourist map (the center region) in case you don't have access to a copy. You can get one in brochure form.
Not sure what the significance of the fish statue-thingy is, but it was kind of cool to take pics of.
I'm assuming this is the name of the statue in Korean . . .
There are swan paddle boats that you can pay a fee (I think 10, 000won) to go out on the lake in.
There are also ferries that will take you on different routes around the lakes. The prices range from as little as 30, 000won up to 100, 000won. A sign shows you the different routes that you can choose from. The length of the route obviously corresponds to how much you pay.
Julianne . . .
And then we came across a series of sign poster things . . . I'm not sure if Winter Sonata did any filming here, but Chuncheon seems to milk that TV drama for all it's worth.
These little groupings of exercise machines are actually a very common sight in Korea. They are for the general public to use, and they are actually used. In the evenings you'll see many Koreans speed walking along the rivers and park paths, and also doing different exercises on these machines (something that is NOT a common sight in Canada--we could learn something here, I think).
We walked up a ways from the statue. This is a shot looking back . . .
One of the boats you can hire to take you around the lakes . . .
See . . . here's an example of what I'm talking about with my editing problem. I think the dark silhouette of the boat in this shot is cool . . .
But then I also like the brighter lighting in this shot after I changed some settings on my camera . . . how can I choose between them when they both have great elements? I donno . . .
Part 1, The End.
Part 2, Coming Soon . . . hehehe--see, told you I had a problem.
