[2025 Cheongju Attraction] Travel Guide for Cheongju Jungang Park (Updated Jul)

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip ▪️Cheongju Central Park 92-6 Nammunro 2-ga, Sangdang-gu, Cheongju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do I knew it as the location for the TV drama "The Glory", but it was also a place of relaxation for the citizens, with the oldest wooden buildings and cultural relics in Cheongju. I recommend taking out hotteok from this popular hotteok shop and eating it in the green Cheongju Central Park! It also has clean toilets. ❤️A shop within walking distance of Cheongju Central Park❤️ ▪️Cheolcheol Hotteok, near the park You'll definitely have to queue on weekends!!

#5月好去地方2025 Address: 69-1, Sangdang-ro, Sangdang-gu, Cheongju City (Close to Cheongju Ancient City and Cheongju University, within walking distance) Atmosphere/Facilities: This is a street stall with no indoor seats, and long queues of people are often seen. Whether students or office workers, everyone is willing to wait in the wind just for that crispy and sweet 호떡. The stall is tidy, the oil pan is clean, and the boss is agile. Watching the 호떡 sizzling in the oil is a double enjoyment of vision and smell. Features: The biggest feature of 쫄쫄호떡 is that the crust is super thin and fried and sold immediately. The outer layer is crispy and the filling is rich. Unlike the thick and chewy 호떡, 쫄쫄호떡 tastes more like "Korean Thousand Layer Pancakes", with not too much syrup, sweet but not greasy. Especially when heated, the maltose filling and the aroma of nuts make people unable to stop eating. In addition to the traditional flavors, there are also versions with cheese or brown sugar nuts, each of which makes people want to grab them all. 🤤 Price per person: 1,500-2,000 won (about NT$35-50) The delicious taste at a copper coin price makes people want to buy three at a time! Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) One of the most worth-lined snacks on the streets of Cheongju, affordable and high-quality! 🔥 ⸻ 💬 Experience sharing: Cheongju 쫄쫄호떡 is not only a daily snack for locals, but also a taste highlight in the memory of travelers. The first time I passed by this stall, I was attracted by the aroma. From a distance, I saw a pot of hot oil, and the golden 호떡 was flipping in the pot. The aroma of oil mixed with the sweetness of maltose made people stop. The boss moved quickly, and each piece of 호떡 was freshly fried, which also created the unique thin and crispy taste of 쫄쫄호떡. Compared with the traditional thick 호떡, it tastes more like a Korean pancake with syrup filling. It is crispy on the outside and sticky on the inside. It is not too sweet, but has a magic that makes people can't help but bite after bite. I chose the most basic traditional flavor and ordered a cheese and brown sugar version. The result was amazing: the salty cheese and the sweetness of brown sugar are perfectly intertwined, super addictive! It is worth mentioning that although it is just a roadside stall, the hygiene conditions are very good. The boss wore gloves to handle the ingredients throughout the process, and the stall was clean and tidy, giving people a very reassuring feeling. Even though there is no inside area, everyone is willing to stand by and wait, holding the hot 호떡 while walking and eating. From time to time, you can even see local Korean people buying more than a dozen at a time to take home, which shows how popular it is. Although 쫄쫄호떡 is just a street snack, it shows the essence of Korean folk food culture: simple but not casual, ordinary but unforgettable. For me, it is not just a small afternoon snack, but also the most "stomach-warming" memory of this trip to Cheongju. If you also come to Cheongju, don't miss this hidden version of the stall, remember to go early, otherwise it will really sell out! 🥹 #Cheongju Check-in Attractions #New Year's Good Place 2025 #Cheongju Food #Cheongju Six Street Comprehensive Market #Cheongju Cherry Blossoms #Korean Food #Sugar Cake #Cheongju Central

#summervacay If you ever find yourself in Cheongju with an hour to kill and zero interest in doing anything intense, Jungang Park is perfect. It’s like the city just casually left a patch of calm in the middle of everything, and we’re not mad about it. There’s this nice mix of history and hangout spots, think old statues, memorials, and random little corners where you can sit and do absolutely nothing (in the best way). A few locals were just chilling, chatting, or walking their dogs. It’s got that peaceful, no-rush energy. The shade from all the trees is a lifesaver on hot days, and there’s enough open space to people-watch or snack on something from a nearby convenience store. Not a destination park, but if you’re nearby? Totally worth a wander. Bonus: It’s super close to other little spots in the city, so you can just drop by without any planning. We weren’t expecting much, but ended up staying way longer than we thought. Low effort, high chill. Would stroll again.
