Having done extensive research, I knew that I could take a two-hour bullet train from Seoul to Gangneung and from there, continue on a local bus to Jumunjin Beach to see the bus stop. My first hurdle was buying the bullet train ticket. I found that most of the self-ticketing machines accepted only credit cards that were issued by Korean banks. The machines that accepted international credit cards were few and frustrating to use. So I had to go to the counter and get my ticket from there, though the queue was quite long.
The bullet train ride was uneventful. The only thing that struck me was that at no point was my ticket checked by anyone. Not at the entrance, not on the train, not at the exit. Wow. You could actually just hop on the train, enjoy a free ride and nobody would be the wiser ... but of course, I I don’t recommend it.
My heart skipped a beat when the bus finally reached Jumunjin Beach. “Jumunjin” means pine tree in Korean and indeed there were lovely pine tree forests just before the beach. The beach itself was magnificent with fine sand and soft waves. How refreshing it was to have the cold wind blow at my face – I even tossed my hair around!
