Eland Cruise @ Hanggang

SOFT WIND AND LIGHT MUSIC playing in the background, a bunch of listless Korean high school girls taking selfies and enjoying the experience, and the ship kept on going. Just like the meaninglessness nature of life, the cruise continued ahead, not caring for the incredible memories and joys that its occupants were experiencing. And to add to it, it returned to the same place where it started a mere 70 minutes ago, symbolizing the futility and purposelessness of life.


Walking a little past the exit 3 of Yeoinaru station, one can ride the Eland Cruise. Tickets vary from 8,000 to 22,000 won depending on the age and the availability of special discounts. The cruise takes off at 7.30 pm and makes its way back to the shores at 8.40 pm (70 minutes). It is essential to arrive at the cruise terminal in time so that one can look for seats with a better view since seats are not assigned by ticket. Generally depending on the time of year you take this cruise, it is recommended that you carry a jacket or a blanket with you since it gets a bit cold at the later parts of the journey.
