Since Everland is too far from the city, it would be confusing to go alone, so I decided to join the tour. The first time I went to Everland was mainly to see the Bao family! This time I can join the tour group and see the Bao family first, which is very convenient for me! Overall it's pretty good! You can see Ms. Love, Lebao, and the twin sisters up close.

This was the highlight of our trip. The pick-up location was so close to our hotel and very easy to find (in front of North Face Store, near Myeongdong Station Exit 2). The day prior we already received the trip information from the tour guide. The tour guide was very helpful and he did provide us with information while we were on the way. He can speak English and Chinese well. He walked us up to Panda World (which was inside Everland). He guided us on how to use Everland App to schedule express entry which is helpful. I highly recommend this package because you also get to have a meal coupon which is by the way, more than enough and that save money too.:) Since snowfall just happened the days prior, some rides/attractions in Everland were closed. However, it did not hinder us to enjoy and have the best time in the park. And the Christmas Carnival was so beautiful. Indeed, it's Christmas!:) We had a safe ride from/to Everland as well. Thanks to the driver.

Everland Korea🇰🇷I recommend everyone to come and play when you come to Korea! It just so happens that during the order period, there is a free panda express pass, so you can enter the park in the morning and see the Bao Family!
