#NewYearGoodDestinations South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea|South Korea Xianyang Xunzhen Cave Longqiu Waterfall The waterfall is quite spectacular ~ suitable for a family outing to relax! You won’t walk too much. Most people just go there to play in the water in the summer, see the maple leaves in the fall, and see the snow in the winter. It just so happens that I came here in the summer! So the whole green is very comfortable:) #Korea #KoreaTravel #Gyeongsangnam-do #Waterfall #Nature #Travel #familytravel

I found the cleanest and best campsite ever after going around and around 🤭 I was half-doubting because there was so little information, but I thought I had to post about it here because the site size, facilities, and view were all-time great! The playground is also very well-made, so it's great to go with kids, and Daebong Skyland has a zipline and monorail, so it's a great place to go with friends. I regret not being able to ride the zipline because of a hangover, so I'll definitely visit again.

A place where you can see all kinds of flowers! I went to Sangrim Park yesterday🍃 This is the first time I've seen so many and various flowers since I was born😮 I didn't know it was this big, so I went late and couldn't see everything, so I regret it ㅠㅠ (Thanks to that, there weren't many people) Since it's the Hamyang Ginseng Expo, there are many experience booths and different stages depending on the date, so I think it would be good to go with that in mind!🌻 🏷 Admission fee during the Expo: 10,000 won for adults 🏷 Since the flower field is long, I recommend taking the shuttle bus when you come back after walking! ________________________ 📍Sangrim Park, Unrim-ri, Hamyang-eup, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam 📸 Canon EOS M50 #SummerCapture#SafeTravel

At Hamyang Daebong Sky Valley, there is a mountain monorail that goes up to the peak of Daebongsan, Cheonwangbong. You can also use the zipline that goes down from the peak. If you take the monorail to the peak, you can face the peak of Jirisan, Cheonwangbong, and you can also see the surrounding areas at a glance. There is a campsite and a forest walking path, so it's great for taking a break. #Recreation trip#With nature#Camping

Hamyang-gun Sangrim Park in Gyeongsangnam-do is the first artificial forest in Korea, created by Choi Chi-won, the great governor of the Silla Dynasty, when he was appointed governor.

Namgye Seowon (남계서원), located in Hamyang (함양), was founded in 1552 to honor Jeong Yeo-chang (정여창), a renowned Neo-Confucian scholar of the Joseon Dynasty, and to educate future generations of scholars. It is known as the second-oldest Confucian academy in Korea, following Sosu Seowon. Its traditional layout, featuring dedicated spaces for education and ancestral rituals, served as a crucial model for later seowon architecture. Surrounded by tranquil mountains, fields, and streams, Namgye Seowon preserves the serene atmosphere where Joseon scholars studied, taught, and paid tribute to their mentors. In 2019, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as one of the nine "Seowon, Korean Neo-Confucian Academies." Today, it remains a significant site for experiencing Korea's Confucian history, traditional architecture, and scholarly heritage.
