Eco Green Campus [Daegwallyeong Samyang Ranch]

I think overall it's a beautiful place. But non-Korean tourists out there who think that you can come here with just a taxi during winter, THINK TWICE!!! We came here in a taxi and were told that by the ticketing staff, there is no shuttle bus during winter and we have to walk the whole way up to the wind turbines and down (not an easy walk, you basically have to hike up the whole way). Our taxi driver is kind enough to drive us all the way to the top, which is the observatory area so we had the privilege to be up here. (we later would regret this because the only way back is to WALK, most of the time on the dirt road that you'll share with the passing cars). I think the view is nice, especially being so close to the wind turbines, there are a lot of people here at the show hills and some even brought sleds to slide down the snow hills. Because it's winter there won't be any animals. Also, you won't get any taxis within the whole compound since it's a private property, we had to walk out to the entrance (took us about 2.5 hours) to be able to hail a taxi via KakaoT (and that also depends on the kindness of your taxi driver who is willing to drive in for 20 mins from Hoenggye town).

Very beautiful place, similar to what you’d probably see in Hokkaido during winter… However, since the shuttle bus is not operating during winter if you don’t have a car with you and you plan to visit after lunch DO NOT THINK OF COMING HERE. My friend and I visited on Christmas Eve and we had to climb up from the ticketing booth since we just came via taxi. After climbing for one and a half hour and not reaching the wind mills, we decided to just go down and guess what - no taxis are available because the line of cars coming into the place stretches waaaay back into the main road (approx. 1.5 km). Definitely not visitor/tourist friendly. We had the soft serve ice cream produced by the cows residing inside and it was good; just not sure how big of a difference it is from ones I can get in Seoul.

I recommend to rent a car if you want to visit this place because it is hard to find a taxi up there. Luckily, our taxi driver offered to us that he would like to wait for us to take some pictures there. If you cannot find a taxi to go down, the only way to go down is by walking. It is not that far actually. Maybe around 4-5 km. But if you visit during winter, it will be a problem because it is so freezing. Your face might get frozen. I also recommend visiting this place in the morning, because when I went down at around 11.30 am, there was a traffic jam going up. Please dress warmly because it was so freezing. The wind was also strong. We only spent about 30 minutes there because it was so freezing haha.

The trip was amazing. It started with a short bus ride of 5 minutes to the top of the mountain, where mist was everywhere and it felt mystical amd unreal. You could take a walk down to look at the cows and sheep as well. In the middle of the walk between the sheep enclosure and the peak of the mountain there qas a beautiful tree. There was a performance with sheep and dogs and you could get to feed the sheep. You could then look at the ostriches in the last stop. Finally there was the restaurant where there were burgers and ramen

"The largest grassland ranch in South Korea, offering stunning scenery." This 19,800,000 square meters ranch is operated by SamYang, famous for producing 'Buldak Bokkeummyeon.'(Spicy food challenge) Along with its excellent natural scenery, it offers various experiences such as feeding sheep, purchasing organic dairy products, and more. Highly recommended are the potato fries made from locally produced and ice cream sold at the ranch's restaurant!
