Water sports
If you want thrills, water sports are the best activities to do in summer.
It is very hot in summer so refresh yourself by going to Korean water parks!
You have the choice in several places for water sports. In this article of what to do in Korea in July, we chose two amazing places : Caribbean Bay Water Park and the Cheongpyeong Lake in Gapyeong,
Cheongpyeong Lake in Gapyeong
The Cheongpyeong Lake is famous for having been a filming location for the Korean TV show Running Man. Do you remember the episode of blob jump, Pang Pang or Flying fish?? Such a funny episode to watch. Blob jump is a water sport where you jump on a water trampoline and one of your friend, already sitting on the end of the inflated air bag, is launched into the water.
Moreover, you should give a try to the Pang Pang activity! It is the most difficult water activity but the most sensational. You are sitting (find the position you prefer xD) on a large floating board and you will notice you don t have a lot to hang onto. The board is connected to a small boat. When the boat driver starts accelerating, the game is starting! Stay on the board as long as possible. A very exciting activity!!! But don’t worry that’s not all, you can do many other water activities 😉
After the efforts, you can relax by visiting an additional place during your daytrip : Nami Island, Petite France, etc. Catch breathtaking views! This day will be unforgettable!
