Managed to get our tickets after queuing a while under the intense sun


The view was stunning


In addition, there is "Safari World" in Everland. Featuring white tigers, lions, bears and many other animal. "Lost Valley" was newly opened last year, whereby visitors get close and personal with the wild animal riding on vehicles


Everland is also known for their gorgeous flower arrangements and gardens
