Yeongpyeongsa Temple Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Beautiful Autumn of Yeongpyeongsa Temple
#fallingseason
Unlike a lot of other chrysanthemum festivals in Korea, these ones are all naturally planted and aren't arranged in some artificial way. It feels peaceful with the naturally planted white flowers all around the side of the mountain.
Yeongpyeongsa Temple is a branch of Magoksa Temple and has six traditional buildings and three hermitages. It is considered to have good feng shui because its location is similar to that of a dragon.
There is also a temple stay program for Yeongpyeongsa. If you can, I suggest going there sooner rather than later.

The rows of crocks are wonderful. Yeongpyeongsa Temple is also famous for traditional foods such as bamboo salt soybean paste and cheonggukjang. The pastries produced under the brand name "The True Taste of Sansa" are made by bamboo salt, water, wind, and sunlight that have been fermented and aged for more than 10 years. In particular, more than 500 crocks that are more than 50 years old make a deeper taste of the intestine. You can take a leisurely tour of Yeongpyeongsa Temple in about an hour to follow Gujeolcho Flower. It was a little late, but it was enough to appreciate the feast of gujeolcho flowers.

Another cultural code representing Yeongpyeongsa Temple is the Falling Flower Festival. It is said that the technology of falling flowers is to maintain the embers falling like waterfalls for a long time. In the temple, it is said that fall flowers were hung on the New Year's Eve, early April, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Eve. It is said that the fall flowers of the temple flowed into the private sector and were held as a ritual to prevent the celebration. I didn't see the fall flowers held during the festival. The video clip of the person who has been there is truly spectacular. These days, many local governments are showing falling flowers.

Yeongpyeongsa Temple is also famous for its magnificent flowers. In spring, azalea azalea golden cysts and double cherry blossoms bloom, and the petals blown by the wind are spectacular. In summer, jade flowers, hydrangeas, and nari flowers, in autumn, Korea's representative native wildflower arbor plant is Jicheon. The area around the pavilion was majestic with the flowers of the ancient Korean herb planted in the pot. Wherever there is soil, there is definitely gujeolcho flower. The whole mountain is a flower palace of Gujeolcho. The peak period of gujeolcho flowers has passed.

Buljanggol Reservoir (Songgokji) Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Beautiful Autumn View Of Buljanggol Reservoir
#fallingseason
It is a place where all kinds of trees celebrate autumn with their own colors, including Metasequoia, which is too tall to measure. Isn't the mountain on fire because Metasequoia has late autumn leaves? If you want to see a suspicious red color, I recommend visiting between mid-November and the end of November, near winter. However, this is also different from year to year, so I can't guarantee the specific timing. If you delay too much, other trees may be wiped out, and if you want a clear view, the weather needs to be nice...! All these conditions can be decided in a few days, so you have to be a little lucky. If it's hard to set a date, you'll be satisfied if you just visit within November.

Buljanggol Reservoir is a popular place this time of year
because of its colors. There is also a cafe, 카페 엔학고레, at
the reservoir. The reservoir was built in 1975 to supply water for agricultural purposes. I wanted to come here on a foggy morning, but things didn't quite work out this year.
The small road leading up to the reservoir is quite busy and difficult to navigate, but it was worth it. What a beautiful hidden gem. For locations of Buljanggol Reservoir is San 21-6, Songgok-ri, Banpo-myeon, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do.
Gongju Gongsanseong Fortress Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Beautiful Gongsanseong Fortress
We are a bunch of friends from various nationalities. We discovered this place almost by accident. We were on our way back to our homes when we saw this beautiful fortress standing tall with a mesmerizing view on a river bank. We immediately stopped and went inside. Thankfully, it was a good decision. Situated on a river bank with a relative height, the fortress offers a beautiful view all around when atop. Clean and green environment is so soothing and calm that one is tempted to spend more time here than can originally thought to spare. Stoned-wall structure is typical of a fortresses anywhere in the world. Yet being located right in the middle of a city grants a rather unique identity to Gongsanseong Fortress.
The Beauty of Gonsanseong Fortress
As I was strolling the city, I was determined to walk and explore the hidden gem the City of Gongju. This historic place right inside the heart of the city really gives me the amazement of how history has an impact on the life of Gongju people.
The Baekje Historic areas located in the Mid-West region of South Korea. Consist of the following sites; Gonsanseong Fortress and Tomb of King Muryeon and Royal Tombs.
It was July 8, 2013 , the Baekje Historic Areas became a World Heritage site. UNESCO World Heritage Committe adopted a statement of the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) for the Baekje Historic Areas that Baekje contributed to the cultural development in the ancient East Asia.
Must come and Visit Gongju 🥰
