When you think about summer activities, a water park might be the first thing that pops into your head.

 

However, there are plenty of other summer activities you can experience apart from that.

 

Stay 14 would like to introduce Gapyeong ( 가평 ), which is known for being a popular region for water sports leisure in South Korea.

 

Here, amidst stunning natural landscapes, you will find a wide range of water sports leisure activities awaiting you.

 

Whether you're a water sports enthusiast or simply looking for some fun in the water, Gapyeong has a lot to offer.

 

So, let's dive into the exciting world of water sports in this charming destination.

 

 

 

 

How Is it Called in Korean?

 

In Korea, this kind of water sport leisure activity place is called as "빠지(Ppaji)".

 

It is originated from the word "barge", which means a flat-bottomed boat for carrying freight, typically on canals and rivers, either under its own power or towed by another.

 

In other words, "Ppaji" refers to a place in Gapyeong where people can enjoy various water leisure activities by riding small boats and ships.

 

It has become a popular term among Koreans during the summer season.

 

The name "Ppaji" originated from the similarity between the appearance of these water activities and the image of floating barge boats.

 

Activities such as land peanut boats, banana boats, disco boats, and wakeboarding can be enjoyed in this area.

 

By using the term "Ppaji," which is similar to the word "barge" in Korean, it has become a common term that encompasses various water sports in Gapyeong.

 

Now, I hope you have a clear understanding of what "Ppaji" means!
