Well, I decided to do a little searching in Korean, and I came across photos I've never seen before. I've finally realized that if you want the real good photos and the real good news, you have to go to the source in the mother language. I'm going to post these photos in 4 parts:


(Intro)

Part 1: JUNGBONG, the future site of alpine downhill skiing, is a stand-alone venue near the Alpensia cluster for snow and sliding sports.

Part 2: GARIWANG, the mountains surrounding Jungbong.

Part 3: ALPENSIA, the heart of the Alpensia cluster, the site of ski jumping, bobsleigh, skeleton, luge, cross-country skiing and biathlon.

Part 4: GANGNEUNG, the coastal city serving as the heart of the ice cluster for skating sports (skating, hockey, curling)


(First, the Intro:)







Ok, Part 1, JUNGBONG, for downhill skiing:

What is that picture with the cruise ship (and sailing ship) on the cliff in Gangeung? Some sort of hotel?

Overall, the pics look great, more impressive than I thought.

Yes exactly, that's the Suncruise Resort. It's a hotel shaped like a cruise ship 60 metres above the sea to give the feeling of being on a cliff. It wouldn't be a bad place to stay for those coming to watch skating or hockey in 2018!

Btw, am I the only one who isn't able to view my Gariwang pics in part 2? If it's not just me, I'll re-post the photos.

Cool resort. A little kitschy, but cool.

Yes, if you can repost those pics, that would be great.

Thanks.
