However, there is a play that can only be enjoyed in winter, and there is also a scenery that can only be seen in winter, so we have to go outside even if it is cold
This time, I will tell you about must-have items for winter outings in Korea
List of must-have items to keep your body warm
Padded jumpers, mufflers, gloves, shoes
It’s the most basic item. Unless it’s just a personal car, I recommend you give up going outside without this item.
If you go outside wearing only thin shoes on a very cold day, you may get frostbite, so I recommend you wear shoes with thick soles as much as possible
Long johns and wool socks
Sometimes a warm coat alone can’t handle it. On days like this, it is recommended to wear an long johns underneath your clothes. There are many kinds of long johns, and it may be one of the best items to keep your body warm.
As for socks, in Korea, various kinds of socks are available to suit the four seasons. Since you often take off your shoes indoors, your feet can be very cold if you are wearing thin socks.
Preparing warm socks can also be of great help
Hot pack
Hot packs are especially helpful items in the winter. They help maintain body temperature and relieve pain, and there are various kinds of hot packs.
In the case of disposable hot packs, there are various sizes of products, and when you start shaking the wrapping paper a few times, you start to heat up, and depending on the type, there are products that can be used for as little as 1 hour to as long as 8 hours, and in Korea, soldiers usually look for khaki-colored products
In addition, there are gel-type products that can be reused, but they do not look for them much because of their short usage time.
In addition, there is a hot pack that can be charged with electricity, and it can be used for a long time, but it is inconvenient to carry
Hot packs can be easily purchased at convenience stores nationwide
must-have item for winter play
Korea snows a lot in winter, it may not be easy to see snow if you go to Busan, which is in the Namjoo region, but if you are in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, or Gangwon-do, you can see a lot of snow throughout the winter.
In addition to the representative skiing and snowboarding that can be enjoyed with snow, there is a separate sledding slope, and the sledding slope on ice is operated only in winter
Here, children to adults can all enjoy sledding, and if you’re in a rural area other than a city, you can easily enjoy it with simple supplies anywhere near you.
In Bucheon, which is close to Seoul, there are also places you can enjoy indoors all year round.
