Bus Trip Back to Chuncheon: A Ride on the Universe Luxury
After lunch, I took a bus back to Chuncheon.
Ticket
Gangwon Express (Incheon Airport T2 - Chuncheon) NEW PREMIUM UNIVERSE LUXURY 2020 (Superior) (1056)
I was expecting a Prime EX this time, but surprisingly, a 2020 Universe Luxury arrived.
It's a bus that usually runs on the Incheon routes and is now fixed on the airport line. I wanted to ride this specific model back in middle school, so I was actually happy. Anything but a clunker, right? lol

As soon as it was time, the bus departed from Incheon Airport, heading towards Chuncheon.

We traveled along the Incheon Airport Expressway until we were near Gimpo Airport.
Yeongjong Bridge
Cheongna International City Area / Airport Railroad Express Train
We passed Cheongna International City and crossed paths with an Airport Railroad train heading towards the airport on the adjacent tracks.
Passing through Incheon Airport TG

Exiting Gimpo Airport IC
After exiting the expressway via Gimpo Airport IC, we headed towards Gimpo Airport.
Gimpo Airport International Terminal / Gimpo Airport Domestic Terminal
We picked up a passenger at the International Terminal and then picked up more passengers at the Domestic Terminal before departing again.
Gaehwadong-ro / Gimpo Ara Bridge
After passing through the Gangseo-gu area, we crossed the Gimpo Ara Bridge.
Entering Gimpo IC
We entered the Seoul Ring Expressway through Gimpo IC.
Seoul Ring Expressway
We used the Seoul Ring Expressway until Toegyewon.
I took a picture of Bukhansan Mountain near the Tongilro IC, and it turned out better than I expected.
Passing through Yangju TG
Seoul Ring Expressway (Nogosan Tunnel Area / Uijeongbu IC)
Passing through Bulamsan TG

After exiting the expressway via Toegyewon IC...
Entering Jingwan IC
I entered National Route 46 through Jingwan IC.
Shin-Gyeongchun-ro (National Route 46)
While heading towards Chuncheon on National Route 46... I was tired and took a nap.
When I woke up, we were already at Daeseongri... lol
Cheongpyeong Arae Intersection / Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong-gun
Since there were no passengers getting off at Cheongpyeong at the time, we didn't enter the Cheongpyeong town area.
Gyeongchun-ro (National Route 46)
Since there were no passengers getting off at Gapyeong either, we passed through without stopping.
Entering Chuncheon
Gyeongchun-ro (Seo-myeon, Chuncheon / Gangchon Area)
After entering Chuncheon, we headed towards the terminal.
Considering that we passed through Cheongpyeong and Gapyeong, the intermediate stops, without stopping, it was practically a non-stop trip to Chuncheon... lol

I thanked the driver and got off. The trip to Chuncheon took 2 hours and 28 minutes!
The reason I planned and took this trip was because I felt it would be a shame to spend my vacation meaninglessly, just going through the same routine in August. I wanted to go to a place I wanted to visit one last time before going back to school.
I remember having some trouble planning the route and booking the tickets. It was my first solo overseas trip, so I was a little nervous. This solo trip to Japan was a great experience for me and felt like practice before backpacking in a wider world in a few years. I was satisfied with the trip.
Actually, before the vacation, I considered going to 'Busan' and 'Shizuoka', but I'm proud that I was successful in visiting both places I had in mind during the vacation.
