Fire and Water - Hot Springs in Taiwan

When you think of the classic Taiwan trek, it's probably steep cliffs, waterfalls, mountain trails hugging valley walls – and at the end of the day, after a long hike – soothing hot springs.

Winter Sonata – Winter in Gangwan-Do

Korea is home to about 20 national parks, comprising mountain, marine and historical parks. Given its extensively mountainous terrain, several of the country's best mountain parks are situated in Gangwon Province, including Odaesan National Park, Seoraksan National Park, and the famous Taebaeksan Provincial Park.

1. Do NOT turn it on.
2. Vacuum it out.
3. Bury it in rice.
4. Power it back up.
