[2025 Cheonan-si Attraction] Travel Guide for Gakwonsa Temple (Updated May)

#TravelItinerary #CheonanTravel #FamilyTravel #Gakwonsa #CheonanCafe #CheonanFamilyGathering Day 1 On the first day of my Cheonan trip, I went to Gakwonsa located in Taejosan, Anseo-dong, Cheonan-si with my family :) It is a temple that was founded in 1975 by the great power of the founder, Gyeonghaebeopin, and Josil, and is registered as a direct parish of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. You can light lanterns and it was nice to take a walk around the quiet temple. After looking around Gakwonsa with my family, we went back to our accommodation and had a barbecue party together❤️ Day 2 After eating a simple breakfast and going home, I visited Esso Cafe in Cheonan. It was quiet and cozy. There was outdoor seating, and the coffee and desserts were both great. The owner was also very kind.

📍Cheonan Gakwonsa (245 Gakwonsa-gil, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do) ▪️ I recommend Cheonan Gakwonsa, a 30-minute drive from downtown Cheonan :) You can also go by bus, but it's a 20-minute walk ​▪️It's great all year round, but you can see Chungnam double cherry blossoms from early April to early May ​▪️Gakwonsa double cherry blossoms are at their peak in mid-April, so it's a good Chungnam drive course to visit next week :) ▪️If you visit on the weekend, there are so many people that parking is difficult #Cherry blossoms

#SpringFlowers Finally, news of double cherry blossoms blooming in the upper regions!! The first double cherry blossoms I saw in my life were in Gyeongju with my boyfriend when we were dating, and it's already the season again. Time flies so fast ˘◡˘💕 The double cherry blossoms are so fluffy and cute, and they're pretty and neat! I like double cherry blossoms better than cherry blossoms🌸 📍Gakwonsa 245 Gakwonsa-gil, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do (171-3, Anseo-dong) ▫️Parking available / It's crowded on weekends, so parking on the side of the road is hell,, ▫️There are no separate operating hours. I think it's possible to visit until the end so as not to disturb the monks' lives ◡̈ 🌸The blooming status you're most curious about: As of 23.4.9 visit Suyang cherry blossoms are 100% in full bloom Double cherry blossoms are in such different states for each tree that 70% are almost in full bloom, while the remaining 30% are still only in buds! I think it'll be the prettiest for taking pictures until next weekend🫶🏻 In addition, this year is a rare sight to see Suyang cherry blossoms and double cherry blossoms at the same time, so I highly recommend you go!!!!

#Tourist Attraction Review ⛩️Attraction: Gakwonsa Temple, Cheonan ❗️Address: 245 Gakwonsa-gil, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do 🚍 Directions: Cheonan Bus Terminal-> Gakwonsa Temple (Bus No. 81) 🚅 Dujeong Station-> Gakwonsa Temple (Bus No. 81) These days, the weather is getting warmer quickly, so cherry blossoms bloom quickly and fall quickly, so I think there are many cases where I miss the timing... But! Double cherry blossoms usually bloom in mid-April, so you can see them after the cherry blossoms fall!! I visited on April 8th this year, and even though it rained the day after, the double cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so I think it's really pretty👍👍 The slope from the entrance of Gakwonsa Temple is a bit steep,, but considering the satisfaction you'll feel when you climb up, I really recommend going! 🙂😀 I don't know if it's a rabbit raised in a temple(?), but I was surprised to see a mountain rabbit running around 😂 It was really soft and cute! I think it would be great for those who live near Cheonan to visit🙌 #DoubleCherryBlossomPlace#GakwonSa#HotPlace#CheonanTravel#DateCourse

✅️Address: 245 Gakwonsa-gil, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do I visited my hometown and stopped by Gakwonsa, which was my parents' date course. I used to visit Cheonan so often, but this was my first time here. I didn't know there was such a great temple! When I listened to the sound of lanterns on the eaves, my mind became calm, and I prayed for a 15m tall, 60t-weight sitting Buddha statue, and lit candles. I went on a nice day and my mind felt so good and I was properly healed. #Gakwonsa #PlacesOfPlace

#springtravel #doublecherryblossoms #cherryblossomtravel Doublecherryblossoms bloom even more gorgeously as the cherry blossoms fall I visited Gakwonsa Temple, famous for its doublecherryblossoms There were so many people, but the flowers were so beautiful.

Double cherry blossoms bloom a little later than regular cherry blossoms! The petals are layered together, giving them a more pinkish color and a lovely flower shape. #Gakwonsa Temple, where you can see both the delicate double cherry blossoms and the drooping weeping cherry blossoms. The flowers are so pretty that I go there every year! I definitely recommend Gakwonsa Temple for a spring trip to Cheonan! #DoubleCherryBlossoms #CherryBlossomFun #WailingCherryBlossoms #CheonanTravel #Gakwonsa Temple

📌Cheonan Gakwonsa Temple My favorite spring flower is the double cherry blossom. If you go to Cheonan Gakwonsa Temple in the spring, you can see the double cherry blossoms to your heart's content. The harmony of Hanok and cherry blossoms is truly fantastic! It's a place that is not as well-known as you might think, so please visit this year before it becomes more famous!! #Hanok #Gakwonsa Temple #Cheonan #Domestic Travel #Double Cherry Blossoms #Spring #Cherry Blossom Festival

Cheonan seems like a good place to go for a short trip to the suburbs for a fall trip. I recommend Gakwonsa Temple as a place worth visiting in Cheonan. Gakwonsa Temple, which has the largest sitting statue in Korea, seems like a good place to take in the blue sky at a glance. Visit the temple and pray for strength! #CheonanTravel #Gakwonsa Temple #FallFallTravel #YouthTravel #FallTravelDestination #SuburbanTravel #TravelAddict #FeelEmotional #LifeTravelDestination #EverydayLikeATravel #HistoricalSiteTour #DriveCourse #NextTimeHere #MustSeeHistoricalSite #WithNature
