If you take the subway in Seoul, you will without a doubt end up seeing advertisements for different areas in Korea made by the Korean tourism board.  All the pictures for Gapyeong County looked beautiful and that was inspiration enough to go.

After hanging around Nami Island, I walked around Gapyeong station and Cheongpyeong station.  I wish I could have had a week here instead of two days.

I stayed at a hostel next to Cheongpyeong station.  The station is right next to a river with great views of the mountains.

this was right next to my hostel

Instead of hearing car horns and people yelling on the streets of Seoul, I heard nothing but birds and cicadas.  It was a much need relaxing weekend.
