It’s a great hike! They also have a ginkgo tree but the leaves fell off by the time we saw it. Very famous temple!

Very nice place to visit if you are boring of Seoul. It is not too far from Seoul around 2 hours driving by car. Here is nice place to visit in every season especially during Autumn that full of color changes from maple and other trees. And there are many spots for trailing too. It is a place that the travellers should not miss it. From pictures here all had taken during Summer time year 2018

If u like hiking mountain i am sure it is going to be great

A lovely and peaceful walk with a huge ginkgo tree

A Buddhist temple, serene and peaceful.

A very beautiful place in fall.

A great place for a hike

This place is a perfect blend of historical charm and modern comfort, offering a memorable peek into the heritage of rural France. Highly recommended if you’re in the area and looking for an enriching, off-the-beaten-path experience!

A very beautiful scenic spot, suitable for parent-child activities. You can stay for a day. It is best to charter a car.

Overall, it's OK. There is not much which was interesting to us, but it was a welcomed change of scenery. The park has the French village (this one) and the Italian village, which I did not visit. I think it's not worth the visit unless you're in the area or going to pair it up with Nami Island.

One of my seoul trip bucketlist. A must visit place to experience little france in the middle of south korea

Not really much to do on this theme park unless you really are fascinated with the French-designed attractions. There's lots of rooms with Pinocchio and Little Prince figures and artworks. Nevertheless, it's still a good place to take photos as a tourist visiting Korea. There are clean rest rooms, vendo machines for drinks, and a cafe to get a coffee and some pastries. Also, there are some K-drama scenes that are filmed here. A 1-hour stay is enough to explore this place.

It's the best South Korea premium outlet featuring 100+ brands. Most of them are international ones that you could find your time spending here is not enough! In winter, it is good to come to buy thick clothes and jackets. This is our 4th time here, and we shall be here often.

Yeoju Premium Outlets is one of South Korea’s top outlet malls, located about an hour from Seoul. With over 270 stores, it offers luxury brands like Gucci, Burberry, Prada, and Moncler, along with great discounts on fashion, sports, and lifestyle items. The open-air, European-inspired layout makes for a pleasant stroll, and I really liked the art installations and sculptures scattered around. There are also a few Starbucks locations on-site, perfect for resting and recharging between shopping sprees, along with other cafes and dining spots. Getting There: Direct shuttle buses from Seoul (Dong Seoul Bus Terminal, Jamsil area) make it easy and convenient to visit. Pro Tip: Visit on a weekday for fewer crowds. If you’re looking for premium shopping, relaxing spaces, and good deals, this outlet is worth the trip!

A lovely outdoor premium outlet area with various big brands lined up. Has a well designed food hall with various cuisines. Spacious and calm. Lots of parking. Takes about 1.5 hours to drive from Seoul. Do research on the shops available before coming.

Good place for weekend family life. It is far from Seoul but there is shuttle bus from bus terminal. If you have a weekend, I will recommend here.

Every major international shops are here! Place is titanic!! A good way to spend the day with family. Food court offers all kinds of food. Prices are fair, much economical than other department stores.

Just 1 hour and 30 minutes from Seoul by direct express bus.

Guideline to purchase the express bus tickets to get here. Buy tickets at express bus terminal. There is no counter service. So have to purchase from the machines. Therefore, no one can advise you what to do. But after you figure it out, it's very straightforward. Alternatively, purchase online as per the QR code image that i had attached in. The bus depart at every 1hour. And it takes 1hr 10mins. Then wait at platform 29 for the bus and scan QR codes to get up. I didnt buy my return tickets online. I purchased my return tickets together at the bus terminal. But there is a machine here(at premium outlet) or use QR code to buy return tickets. Tickets wont be available, prior 1 hour before departures time. And you can choose where you prefer to sit. One way tickets is 6,400won. Pick up is the same as where the bus drop off. Personally, i like this premium outlet. It has lululemon as compared with other outlet malls. But discount isn't fantastic to be honest. You can refer to website to find out your preferred stores. Avoid weekends. Cos a lot of locals shop here and you dont see a lot of foreigners. There is a food court here, with a good selection of food. This place is huge! With east wing and west wing. There is a map but only in Korean. I will definitely return here again.

Beautiful place, must visit!! Came on end May, so it’s considered summer already. Reached around 9am so it was quite peaceful and not a lot of people. Crowd starts coming in around 10am. Not a crazy lot of flowers, but a lot of different trees in different colors. All the flowers and trees are so vibrant! View from the cafe is straight out of a painting! But the price of the drinks and cakes are on the pricier end—around 7,000₩~8,000₩. Spent around 2-3 hours here.

Absolutely stunning! A heavenly place! Kudos to all the gardeners here🫡 you guys are doing a wonderful job! The weather was great too here in May.

It’s beautiful for what it is, a garden of calm. We went on a tour inbetween seasons and there were no flowers, so it was a quick visit. It was a calm place though, nice trees in parts, amazing images in their gallery and so many great products in their store that we wish were available online from Australia. It would be nice given the paid entry if there was something to see between seasons though.

I visited during the off season—March, so kind of in between winter and spring—but it was still so beautiful and peaceful, just like its name suggests! I can only imagine how magical it must be during full bloom, in winter with all the lights, or in the fall with those colors. 🤗

Very picturesque garden that blossoms during spring and I imagine it would be beautiful in autumn with shades of red, orange, yellow and brown. We came during spring where the cherry blossoms were in bloom and so so beautiful without the crazy queues that you would see in Japan. The bonsai garden is also super cute! Can buy tickets at the gate but we did it via a tour on Klook which also visited Nami island (perfect for couples) and the Gangwon Rail Bike.

Overall experience is breathless... But we come in fall season so the flowers not all bloomed. Vending machine are working but empty, all drink stock is gone. Better keep restocked because not all visitors bring own water.

Came in early spring. Stunning. 11k won per adult, wheelchairs and buggies can be rented for 1-2k won.You can book your ticket in advance on Naver (and then just walk straight to the entry gate with your barcode). If you don't book in advance, you can either buy from the machine or the manned booth - same price but there was a small queue. Parking is free, but a queue of cars starts to form from 10am. When we left at 1pm on a Sunday, the queue was 1km long. Note that the park opens at 0830, but coffee shops only open from 10am. Museum and galleries also nice. Well maintained. Would recommend.

It’s amazing view. The water from the bottom of the valley. Beautiful. You better buy a monorail ticket at least going up. Good place for kids.

This is a nice picturesque place located in the countryside of Seoul. We can reach here by monorail which departs in every 15 mins. It has stunning natural views. Some of the Korean drama took place here.

Was quite disappointed with it. Apart from this valley that many Korean drama took place, overall just like any park. And the ugliest are all the status that looks not so artistically blend. Different perception of what is called arts. Took the monorail to go up the hill. The experience wasn’t that fantastic. Firstly the Korean aunties were just too noisy in the capsule. Secondly, the capsule windows was darkened don’t have the natural sunlight so it defeat the purpose of viewing outside view nicely. Overall, one time experience is enough.

Nestled in the picturesque Seoul countryside, this is a lovely destination worth visiting. The tickets are reasonably priced, making it an accessible outing. One important consideration is the frequent monorail service - departing every 15 minutes. However, the monorail can become quite crowded during peak hours when group tours are prevalent. To ensure an enjoyable experience, I recommend planning your visit strategically and arriving early to avoid the busiest times on the monorail.

A quarry with some nice art, not sure if it is a must-see attraction, especially if you are visiting for a short time in south korea. If you go, definitely go at night, during the weekend and in the Fall. A lot of the attractions are not open during week or during day. The views of the moutains in the Fall would be so beautiful!

Very amazing place. Be awake you have to walk mountain veeeeery much but its really worth it the view is amazing if the fine dust is not too much also the water and the rocks are so amazing. You should not be scared of heights if you wanna go that stairs of the picture or you need to look at the handrail like me 😅

Excellent place to spend time with your friends and family. Offers a variety of activities at a pocket friendly prices. Monorail is an unique experience. Sanmaru Concert Hall will give you a glimpse of Korean Culture as well. There's an Astronomical observatory for kids. Sculpture park with nearly 30 sculptures made of granites are on display. Reaching this place is a bit difficult by public transport. All in all a very good place to spend a day.

The worst place I have been in Korea. The place is very poorly maintained. Although there are many theme areas. But really poor maintained and is so rundown. There is only one restaurant. I ordered the beef rib soup. The worst I ever have. Cold, 2big ribs with not much meat. Cost 17,000. I think I prefer to eat back in Seoul! And self-service There are a few cafes. Maybe it will be better to have some like grab in the cafes or if you wanna be there, eat before you go. The only place that was full of humans, was the pink theme pink mully grass with an artificially colored shocking pink sand slope. Anyway, the ticket and all the pay pay pay inside this area, simply not worth it. But because you want to post on social media coz’ of the shocking pink zone, Maybe… The management of this place should rethink how they should manage this place properly.

We joined a tour, and one of the destinations was Herb Island. It's a really big place, it has a shop that has mostly plant based items. Such as skin care, tea, candles, etc. They also have a foot spa area. The interior of the shop is very beautiful as well as the front entrance. The staff were really friendly and hospitable. At night, the whole place lights up, and it's beautiful. Instead of me telling more spoilers, go visit yourselves! Worth it!

Nice place. But scheduled bus didn't come. Thanks to one kind local woman for a lift to Dongducheon station :-)

I visited here on a day that was it virtually empty and had one of the most unique experiences I’ve ever had. This was a beautifully detailed, cute little place that was a spectacle to view and a breath of fresh air from some of the other busier tourist locations. If you want to get out of the city and take some gorgeous photos and view pretty light displays, visit here. The entry is ridiculously cheap and worth it.

Pocheon Herb Island is a large herb garden. There are many zones inside, like Herb Museum, Herb Garden, Herb bakery (this is special), International Village, Traditional Market, aroma therapy centre, herbs related souvenir shops. It's better to visit in the evening as it'll be lit up with light all around. It's a bit difficult to reach this place as the frequency of public transport is very less. Try to avoid winter ad it'll be really cold. It's a great one time trip for good photos. It's good for couples and kids. It can be considered as a romantic getaway. It's also good for people who love botany, arts and crafts.

A park with a focus on lotus. Have a few picturesque spots for photos but quite barren otherwise. Not worth the 1.5h journey from Seoul.

I went for Lotus Pond with Flowers but end June, no lotus, or barely

Semiwon Garden was lovely. We went at the end of September, this is not the best season. Lotus blossoms are out at the end of July and August. There were lots of massive leaves and seed pods. The views were still incredible and worth the entrance fee (5,000₩). Besides the Lotus ponds, there are other aquatic plants to view such as lily pads and reeds. A hanok style building is in the park. As you walk around the peninsula, you will find a floating bridge that will take you to the islet beside the garden. Make sure you keep your ticket to get back across. On the island, you can view the two rivers merging as one. In addition, they have a greenhouse that houses several types of water lillies. Outside there is a Lotus Museum, which we didn't go to because of time. The building was beautifully designed. There's also a place that sells Lotus bread/cookies. There are 3 different types. I didn't realize how popular they were and waited to buy after we got out. They were sold out when we went in. Thankfully they had 9 left of their original so I grabbed those up and bought some Lotus tea and postcards.

Beautiful scenery, although it would have been better if we visited a few weeks earlier when the lotus flowers were still in bloom.

Super chilled out and peaceful until the tour buses start showing up @8:30am. Get there when it opens for the best views and least crowds!

Garden with very beautiful scenery. The admission fee is 5,000 won. There is a large trail to walk throughout the garden.

I came here at the end of winter season... the architecture is still nice, good for taking pictures. But it'll be most beautiful on Lotus season (summer). Good spot is the 배다리 or the ship bridge

Quite scenic. Can chill at the cafe. The confluence is rivers

Lovely spot for pictures, or get a quick bite, or to just soak up some scenery! Great part of the country. Nice cafes, and a great hot dog (corndog) spot)!

A wonderful place to get some fresh air near Seoul. In season, you will have a difficulty parking unless you come earlier. You will see river views around here. And the lotus corn dog is a well known snack in this place. They have hot spicy or non spicy. They use the different sausages according to your option. Lots of bugs are there as it is by the River...

Amazing place to hang out with your family or friends! Very peaceful escape from Seoul.

When been here I feel that im in my hometown philippines. Watching the river far away and watching the sun sets catch my attention. I want to go here in summer, its nice to bring placemats and setting a picnic bellow the tree While watching the river and sunset and eat dumulmeori lotus hotdogs.

Pink Muhly in full bloom today Oct 3. 2024. The only reason I came to S. KOREA, and glad the weather is so fine and the Park didn't disappoint at all. Everything was perfect.

One of the MOST beautiful hidden gems in Seoul! The pink muhly grass and flower fields were stunning and I spent the whole morning here, soaking in the atmosphere and living in the moment! A MUST visit for photography lovers!

A large field of flowers and a nice place to relax. Not easy to go, but it is totally worth it. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this hidden gem offers a serene escape for those seeking tranquility. As you approach, the vibrant colors of the blossoms create a stunning tapestry that dances in the gentle breeze, inviting you to step closer. The sweet fragrance of the flowers fills the air, uplifting your spirits and calming your mind. Here, time seems to stand still, allowing you to forget your worries and simply immerse yourself in nature's beauty. You can find a cozy spot on the soft grass, where you can lie back and watch the clouds drift lazily across the sky. Nearby, the soothing sound of a babbling brook provides the perfect soundtrack for a peaceful afternoon. Whether you choose to read a book, meditate, or simply enjoy the scenery, every moment spent in this flower-filled paradise rejuvenates the soul. Though the journey may be challenging, the reward of tranquility and the breathtaking views make it an unforgettable experience that will linger in your memory long after you leave.

The park is stunning and beautiful. Amazed by the sea of flowers. Highly recommend to visit this in the month of October.

I recently visited this Korean garden and was impressed by its natural beauty. The landscape was thoughtfully designed and included traditional Korean elements such as a pond, pavilion, and various trees and plants. The garden was peaceful and provided a nice escape from the city. The only downside was that some areas were under construction, but I look forward to visiting again when it's fully completed. Overall, a lovely place to relax and appreciate nature.

Flower festival running from sep to oct. 1 hour drive from Seoul, its worth it to visit.

Now it's 2022.. the place was free of entrance fee years ago.. but now your gonna have to pay 2000 won for adults and not sure but maybe 1000won for kids.. and for seniors I'm not sure too but maybe it's free and for people living in jangju area.. the place is so beautiful, these days some flowers are not yet totally bloom yet.. so your not so late to visit this beautiful place.. make sure to prepare some water and snacks because there are few stores around.. Enjoy..💜💜

Tricky to get here BUT not impossible. Take bus from Namby bus from Seoul for ￦5,600 then take a bus or a taxi ( taxi stop next to stop) . The location is breathtaking. The place has 2 cities: one town , other is a palace. You can take aa many pictures as you like. I was about 2.5 hrs here. There is a small cafe, and water/juice machines. Watch the weather. Make sure is sunny and if you can: come in Hanbok.

It is famous of a k-drama movie set of Jewel in the Palace. It is quite a distance from Seoul. Came here on our day trip with a tour operator.

One of the most amazing places I have been. When visiting I just love to spend the whole day here walking and looking around. For someone who loves korean drama and history I really recommend visiting this place, it's a bit far from Seoul but so worth it.

Its pretty far from Seoul, but the way to the destination itself is a good experience. The place itself is beautiful, it reminds me of good old day with Dae Jang Geum drama. And of course as a BTS Army, I came here to visit Daechwita shooting scene. The Park is so clean and refreshing. Such a pretty place.

The parking lot is not that big but this place is big for every one to sit on the mat enjoying the day. Some ppl even bring tent. Maybe it is forbiden here to cook here but you can just bring food and eat it here. As you can see from the picture, fall folliage is so pretty. It is red on the one side and yellow on the other side. Although the gingko leaves are 50%left, some trees even left 10~20% leaves only. Autumn is really perfect time to have a picnic.

Very pretty! The garden on the back is also very pretty with different flowers and plants. They had a free tasting of flower tea.

not far from city centre. it took around 30 minutes bus to go. went full round around 90-100 minutes. Good place for hiking.

Its a 30 to 40 minutes hike track. 1 km a bit steep but not too much and then 2 to 3 km its a normal walk.

I enjoy visiting this old fortress. We took our two children to see it this time. There are others, but this one is easily accessible from our location.

Beautiful place to tale walk with a nice view over Cheongju. It takes around 1-1:30h to talk around the main circle path.

Good hike starting from Cheongjuland 청주랜드 up to fortress. 3.4 km one way. Hike ends at fortress top so you can get sone great views of the city.

Must visit place for whole family if you are holidaying in Seoul. Would definitely recommend booking shuttle bus service to get here from Seoul as it will take longer via other ways to get here. Get here early and spend a whole day as it has a lot to offer :)

I liked this place very much except few things, half of the facilities/ride/pool was close that day when we go there.. Me & my friends could enjoy only 3/4 ride all day. If they keep open everything ..... Its one of the best in korea for sure.

I went to Caribbean Bay in advance, which will be hot in summer. I got a discount on the application and used it for 25,000 won per person. It was also very spacious, so it was good to play in the water. The wave grass was fun, and I enjoyed riding various rides. It was good because the line for the ride was not long because it was a success of the timing game. My feet hurt too much to just walk around, so make sure to bring your aqua shoes in advance, and if you're going to take a lot of cell phone shots, make sure to bring a cell phone waterproof pack. They sell it, but it's too expensive because it's 20,000 won each.

Not bad ~~ if you love water parks it’s nice! There’s lots of fun rides and different kinds of activities to do! They have some performances on Sunday! The lines are a little long but it’s very organized! I do have to say there’s not a lot of places to sit down so it could be uncomfortable if you don’t buy a chair ~~ anyway have fun when you go there ^^

It was fun. The rides are very fun, but the lines are tiring. If you go there, it's better to go around 9am when it opens.

A great water park. Rides seem old and not kept up well. But it has a lot to offer. It does get very crowded. I wish they would let me swim without a life jacket.

Make sure you get the Q-Pass or Fast Past tickets in the park, it’s worth it, and saves an extraordinary amount of time instead of waiting in line 50-120 minutes. The only delay would be the time it takes to walk up the stairs to get to the entrance of the ride.

Spent most of the day at Caribbean Bay. It was amazing! Find the spas, they were so relaxing I didn't even get pictures. The wait for rides was too long, but that's to be expected, just hop in the river. We waited until about 7:30p to get on rides so the wait was 30mins or less. Spent the majority of the time in the wave pool, wild River and spas. The food was better at Everland, the churros and burgers were stale in the water park, be advised. Overall, 10/10 would definitely recommend. Check it out. I went with a group and paid 55,000 won to go to both parks.

A full-fledged museum about type printing and mass printing of books from 1377. Quite good design, clear in its information.

Nice place to realize the history of Korea printing technology

One of my favourite museum experiences. Really amazing.

Nice place to visit during your weekend.

a place to learn some history..

Interesting tour, clean environment and friendly staff

This is a lesser known museum, but has some great displays that show the history of printing. Free admission to such a nicely done museum was surprising. No crowd at all on this Tueaday when I visited and had the two floors of great exhibits all for myself! Everything is explained in Enflish as well. There is also some creative art displays that kids will have fun with. Absolutely worth a visit and an hour or two spent there.

A lovely spot if you enjoy nature and historical settings—great for a calm walk. The Secret Garden tour is worth it, but make sure to book in advance (slots open about 4–5 days ahead), and the tour lasts around an hour. Some of the entrance staff weren’t very helpful and came off as a bit rude, which took away from the overall experience.

Such a beautiful and peaceful place. Changdeokgung is definitely one of the prettiest spots I visited in Seoul. The palace buildings and colors are stunning, and the whole place has a really calm vibe — not too crowded, which I appreciated. I wanted to visit the Secret Garden but it was already sold out when I arrived around 1 PM, so if you’re planning to go, try to get there earlier! Still, walking around the main palace grounds was super nice and totally worth it. Great spot if you enjoy a bit of history and just want to stroll around somewhere quiet and beautiful.

It has a great scenery at the top of the small hill. The hill ain't steep so don't worry about your energy. You will pass traditional Korean houses, some of them even have people living in it. Sure good place for photo taking. I very recommended going there.

Myeongdong Shopping Street is a lively and bustling hub, famous for its wide variety of shops, street food, and vibrant atmosphere. It is one of Seoul’s top shopping districts, especially known for its extensive range of skincare and countless beauty stores that are offering great deals. One of the highlights of Myeongdong is its street food stalls, where you can enjoy local food.

The street food is a highlight—try the tteokbokki and hotteok! Lively and vibrant, Myeongdong captures the energy of Seoul, making it a must-visit for an unforgettable experience.

Myeongdong Street is one of the liveliest places in Seoul! The energy here is incredible, with endless shops, cafes, and street food vendors lining the streets. The food is the highlight – from Korean BBQ skewers to tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), and the famous hotteok (sweet pancakes), crabs, baked shrimps and moreeee~ every bite is a treat. It's a paradise for foodies and shoppers alike. However, a word of caution: some shops can overcharge foreigners, often doubling the price. Be sure to compare prices and stay alert to avoid being scammed. Despite that, Myeongdong is still an exciting place to explore, especially for the food and the vibrant atmosphere.

Very lively market with many foreigners visiting here for shopping and street food. You’ll find so many brands, wide price range, so many styles of clothing.

Wonderful place for people wanting to get their k beauty shopping. Endless beauty products and shops, usually the shops will give you quite a number of freebies for buying from them. You are going to buy a lot here if you love Korean beauty products and makeup.

So much to see, so much to shop, so much to do here. Take your time here, enjoy & stroll around. If you buying stuff, make sure do some survey. Some shop can be a lot cheaper and you’ll feel get day light rob if you don’t survey around especially MASK. I always enjoy strolling around here in Myeongdong street. Checking out each shop. Look at their people & foods.

Visited Namsan Seoul Tower in autumn, and it was absolutely stunning — the autumn colors made everything feel extra magical. The walk up was refreshing, with crisp air and golden-red leaves lining the path. The view from the top was beautiful, with the whole city spread out beneath us. The famous love locks added such a sweet and charming touch to the place — it’s lovely seeing so many memories left behind by visitors from around the world. Definitely worth the visit. :)

People can take the public bus to reach this place, from the bus stop, you need to walk up the hill. It's free, unless you wanna go to tge top of the tower. You can see the city's beautiful scenery and the sunset. There's cafe and giftshop. You can purchase a lock, put your message and hang in there, but don't expect it'll stay there for a long time. Worth to visit.

N Seoul Tower, an iconic landmark perched on Namsan Mountain Park, offers stunning hilltop views overlooking Seoul city. The fresh and vibrant atmosphere makes it a great spot for hiking and jogging. There's also a walkway where couples leave love locks to celebrate their love stories—a charming and interesting sight to see!

hiked for about 40 minutes from the base to N Seoul Tower, and it was an easy walk with toilets and a café along the way. At the top, the tower area is bustling with shops, eateries, and cafés. The views were absolutely stunning and well worth the hike. There was also a wine fair being set up, which added to the lively atmosphere. I enjoyed a coffee while taking in the scenery. It does get quite crowded with tourists, but there’s also an option to take a bus up for those who prefer a more relaxed journey.

An absolute must-visit when in Seoul. The short hike from the nearest bus stop is surprisingly easy and scenic, lined with cozy cafés and plenty of spots to rest or take in the view. Along the way and at the top, you'll find a variety of tourist attractions and fun activities to enjoy. But the real highlight for me personally is the panoramic view from the tower that overlooks the entire city of Seoul, it's nothing short of breathtaking, especially when the sky is clear. A perfect blend of nature, culture, and city vibes in one iconic spot.

A truly memorable experience with panoramic views of the city and cute spots to relax and enjoy the scenery from above. Whether you get there by bus or a lovely hike, the trip is worth it! I highly recommend it!

I visited N Seoul Tower during my trip to Seoul, and it was definitely worth the trip. The tower offers some of the best panoramic views of the city, especially at night when the lights make everything look stunning. You can either hike up to the tower or take the cable car, but the walk up is pretty scenic and not too hard. Once at the top, the observation deck provides amazing views, and there’s also a nice area for photos. It’s a great spot for a peaceful escape from the city bustle and to take in the whole city from above. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Seoul!

I recently visited a folk village decorated for Christmas, and I was thoroughly pleased. It was a wonderful experience for my children; they thoroughly enjoyed the adventure park. The entire park was beautifully landscaped and well-organized. Parking was very easy and it was easy to find the entrance.

Despite the rains, we had a great time visiting the Korean Folk Village this May 2025. You get to know more about Korea's culture and appreciate how they maintained this beautiful attraction. A must-visit place when in South Korea. 🖤🤍❤️💙

It's a good place to add into your iterinary if you want to rent a Hanbok and experience traditional Korean Village minus the crowd that can be expected at palaces like Gyeongbokung/ villages like Bunchok Hanok Village. They also have Korean cultural performances timed throughout the day to keep you busy and enticed. However, the place looked like it wasn't completely open for business when I went, since most shops meant to be selling food and drinks and souvenirs, etc, were closed. The adventure park section also only had 2 to 3 rides operating with all surrounding ( very cute and nicely done, may I add ) shops closed. Maybe we picked a wrong day to go? To be fair, it was midweek and not the weekend. I am sure their weekend footfall could be a totally different story. I enjoyed my photo sess 🤣 & plus points for the staff at entry / exit who were very helpful in helping us navigate our way back from there to Euljiro too.

Probably a good place for family and students.. And maybe I have seen other similar "exhibits", so nothing exciting anymore with this hybrid place that combines nature, history and fun fair. Places were crowded mostly with students from at least 30 buses so my experience was really unpleasant with the crowd despite going on weekdays. In addition, the rain make things worst and whole place are just muddy.. shoes are dirtied but there is a cleaner outside the entrance to get rid of the soil. Overall, OK but not too recommended if you have other alternative to visit.

Amazing experience, large venue filled with beautiful examples of 'old' folk korean homes and way of life. Clean, loads to see, places to stop and rest or eat. The performances and intervals are also a great experience. 10/10

This is a theme park of Korea during the Joseon dynasty. Mostly it’s old style houses from different regions and social classes, very interesting if you are into that sort of thing. There are some music or dance shows throughout the day, I would highly recommend to see them. There is also a mini world museum with photos and artifacts from all over the world. There is an also a carnival part with attractions for kids, a museum of Korea, a few restaurants, shops and some activities to do like horse riding or archery. A lot of things are closed during the weekdays tho, like the horror experience house. I would say it’s a nice experience if you have some extra days in Seoul and you really want to learn more about the history of the country. My only suggestion would be to add more activities for adults, there are some things to do but it felt like half were designed for kids. For a better reference I would suggest to look at Edo World close to Tokyo in Japan.

This one of the nice places to understand the older cultures inside of Korea.. Related to kings, landlords and framing community.. There are certain shows which happen time to time which are worth waiting to see.

Beautiful river canal that is very clean and a place to hang out and relax. The sound of water stream and birds was so wonderful. Great place to just rest and have a quiet moment.

Walkable water stream in downtown Seoul. One of the best modern marvels of Seoul. It used to be a highway for cars and trucks, but it was reconstructed to form a water stream which flows from west to east and is a spectacle to behold during festivals. Seoul Lantern Festival happens in there a couple of times a year, and it looks really pretty. The stream is very walkable with pavements on both sides, and has cycle tracks on the topside as well. It's a great place to be around in general.

This place is perfect for a relaxing walk — just pop in your headphones and get lost in your favorite tunes for hours. Or grab a coffee, find a cozy spot, and sip away while soaking in the vibe. There are even live street musicians adding magic to the atmosphere. Such a lovely spot — totally worth checking out!

A beautiful river canal right through the middle of the city. Very relaxing and serene. While we were there, there was a pop-up library with little seats and lanterns following the Riverwalk. A beautiful serene experience in the middle of the chaos of the city. Definitely worth a visit!

A beautiful and educational history around this area. A must see if you are in Seoul, Korea. The river is lovely and the atmosphere is very engaging!

The popularity of this place among the Koreans is the great testament for the successful restoration project. There is waterfall, murals, benches, plenty of trees and even an open library during weekends, making this an excellent place to chill and relax. The stepping stones for crossing the stream making it fun for the family. Despite its popularity, there's not much noise. although occasionally there may be some people busking here, the overall environment just feels calm and peaceful. This is rare in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city, definitely worth spending time here.

I really enjoyed what the city did with this space. It’s a nice area to stroll, or relax by the side of the water, having your favorite drink as you enjoy the laughter of the people enjoying the area.

Very impressive, especially considering the access is free. If your country also participated in the U.N. forces in the Korean War, there’s a section contributed to those countries, with videos in each country’s languages. Fun to watch. Totally recommended when you visit Seoul.

Amazing museum, and a must visit site! To be clear, this is a museum of "Korean wars" and well beyond just a Korean War museum. I was truly impressed by the breadth and depth of socio-political background information and military history. Great facility, military equipment, memorials, picture sites and exhibits.

Its free, no tickets. It will take around 3-4 hours to complete properly. Its very big and detailed. Lots of artifacts and life size models of plains, tanks, missiles, artillery, etc

Hwaseong Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is situated near Suwon, South Korea. Constructed between 1794 and 1796 under the direction of King Jeongjo of the Joseon dynasty, it served as a fortification encompassing Suwon's historic city center. King Jeongjo's relocation of Crown Prince Sado's tomb from Seoul to Suwon in 1789 necessitated the construction of a new city to accommodate displaced residents. The king commissioned scholars and engineers to design a secure, convenient, and prosperous urban center. This undertaking included the construction of a robust fortification, Hwaseong Fortress, a masterpiece of Joseon Dynasty architecture. Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1997, Hwaseong Fortress attracts numerous tourists annually. Hwaseong Fortress boasts numerous palaces, a perimeter wall, four main gates, a central waterway, and extensive additional features. Access is available at any time. The area features highly-rated cafes and restaurants offering premium food and beverages. It also serves as a filming location for numerous Korean dramas. Visitors can enjoy the cherry blossoms along the perimeter wall, and nearby activities include hot air balloon rides, archery, and traditional cultural experiences. For those exploring South Korea, Hwaseong Fortress is a must-see destination. Convenient access from Seoul is provided via the Seoul Metropolitan Subway or express subway from Seoul Station to Suwon Station, followed by a local bus to Hwaseong Fortress.

The majestic fortress attracts tourists to visit. With its high and long walls, it is suitable for a leisurely walk to enjoy the city view and the architecture of the fortress. There are many beautiful photo spots to keep as memories.

Incredible, must-visit attraction for anyone visiting South Korea. Free as well. We walked 4 miles along the fortress wall and got some amazing views of the city along the way. I highly recommend hitting the highest peak of the trail for the best view Suwon has to offer.

Nice atmosphere, beautiful town, with small alleys you can walk through. There are many cute cafes and restaurants. About 1 hour from Seoul.

Beautiful historical site with a lovely view of the nearby city. Great for a peaceful walk and surrounded by nice landscapes—especially stunning in spring with cherry blossoms. If you have time, visit the city next door to soak in the local vibes!

Magnificent and impressive fortress, with beautiful surroundings and views of the city, specially if you go up the hill. A palace and monuments nearby. good for a peaceful stroll involving the fortress wall.and nature.

The circumference of the fortress is huge. I underestimate, after spending more than 3 hours walking along the fortess wall, I probably cover only about 40%. So, do give yourself more time! Along the way, there are resting areas where, once upon a time, soldiers used to rest. Information is given to individuals' fortification along the wall. Within the fortress wall, there are houses and shops.

This is the typical Korean Palace in terms of structure, layout, and decor. I don't find it particularly elaborate or lavishly decorated. Still, it is pretty to visit and wander around its courts. It is very similar to the ones we visited in Seoul.

Just buy tickets at the nearby counter. Noted it was just renovated in 2023. The place looks quite big (empty) tho… Recommend to walk up the hill at the back and look down for the view. You can have a rest there also! Quite chill.

Took a nice walk around the palace grounds without many tourist at around 10.30am. Caught the 11am martial arts show right outside the main gate and was very impressed with the agility and the talent of the performers. Free entry for those 65 and above by showing the passport (applicable to tourist too).

A wonderful piece of history, beautifully restored after its gruesome past. There is a huge garden with plenty of spots to relax and take in the view. We visited on a Saturday, and were lucky to see a re-enactment of a royal guard ritual from King Jeongjo’s era.

Hwaseong Haenggung is an impressive historical site that offers a glimpse into Korea's rich royal heritage. The complex is quite huge, featuring numerous palaces and structures that reflect traditional Korean architecture. However, it's worth noting that many of these buildings have been rebuilt recently, which can give the site a somewhat modern feel despite its historical significance. Visitors should be prepared to walk a lot as the area is expansive, and exploring all the nooks and crannies can be quite a trek. The well-maintained paths and beautiful landscapes make the walking experience enjoyable, but comfortable shoes are a must! Overall, Hwaseong Haenggung is a fascinating destination for history buffs and anyone interested in experiencing the grandeur of Korea's past.

This is Royal villa, you could see Royal palace style of Chosun dynasty. Much smaller scale than Japan or China, but quite different style with them. In my opinion it more closure to Chines cultural base.

Hwaseong Haenggung is such a beautiful palace with a rich history. I had a great time strolling around.

The Independence Hall of Korea stands as a poignant testament to the nation's tumultuous history, particularly during the period of Japanese colonial rule. Located in Cheonan, this museum meticulously chronicles Korea's arduous journey to independence, showcasing a rich array of artifacts and exhibits. The carefully curated displays offer a profound insight into the sacrifices and resilience of those who fought for freedom. The architectural grandeur of the hall adds a solemnity that complements the gravity of the historical narrative. For visitors seeking a profound understanding of Korea's struggle for independence, this museum stands as an indispensable educational and emotional experience.

The Independence Hall of Korea looks mesmerizing and ecstatically beautiful the day we went there. It was totally covered with snow. No matter how far your eyesight 👁️ goes , you will see only snow, snow and snow. For a moment i felt like i am in some kind of snow festival area. The place is quite and calming. Mountains and trees were covered with snow. Now I have a habit of searching about places and researching about them before i go there. I see the reviews and the pictures and everything so that my money, time and energy doesn’t go to waste. So I searched about this place and i saw a couple of pictures and the place seems to me beautiful but the pictures are of different season and there’s no winter pictures, so at first i was scared whether we should go there or not in winter but i am glad we made the decision of taking the risk of going there. To my amazement we did right. It was beautiful! Now coming to the inside of the Hall there are a number of halls, it was a huge complex so we were able to see only 6 halls. The pictures and videos you can watch below👇🏻 The place has a huge parking lot with 2000-3000 korean won. And the entrance fee to the Hall is free free free😎

It is a very good place to know about the history and culture of the Korean people. It has a very huge collection of Korean history. I would recommend visiting this place with 2-3 hours in hand.

The Independence Hall is an impressive monument with various exhibits on Korean history. The area is beautiful with views of a lake and surrounding mountains. There are various dining options and convenience stores.

Really nice experience for my history loving child. You need some few hours to actually look through. We did not have much time and couldn't really look everything we wanted. Has plenty of fun activities so the kids can get engaged here and there. Warning- it is farther than you think from the parking. Lol * it is free but there's minimal parking fee.(something like 2 dollars i believe)

Awesome museum, not really mentioned somewhere, but I think it should be more often recommended. You can learn a lot about korean history and it's for free.

An amazing land dedicated to the Independence of the Korea Country. I would imagine that this goes for both North and South Korea. You go through many different buildings that show the history and importance of the independence that Korea has gained from Japan and China. The land itself is just beaultiful to see. And they have 815 South Korean flags to signify that importance of August 18 the Korean Liberation day. Definitly make your way there if you get the chance.

Beautiful place to enjoy amazing views of the blooming trees in Spring or the colorful acers in the Fall. The temple buildings are also very beautiful and in the traditional Korean style.Just be respectful. It is a religious place, and many people are there to worship. Lots of stairs, so not really handicap accessible for most areas. Restrooms and limited refreshments on site

Gakwonsa Temple, located in Cheonan, South Korea, is a significant Buddhist temple established in 1977 to pray for Korea's reunification. It features a massive 15-meter bronze Buddha statue, one of the largest in South Korea, and a main hall for prayer and meditation. The temple is set amidst beautiful surroundings on Taejosan Mountain, which is ideal for hiking. Gakwonsa also offers temple stay programs, allowing visitors to experience Buddhist monastic life. I visited this temple alone. It is a wonderful place to visit. I arrived by taxi, but found it challenging to book a taxi for my return. From my personal experience, it is better to drive there personally. I was fortunate that one of the temple staff kindly drove me into town and helped me book a taxi.

Beautiful spot. When cherry blossoms are in bloom, it can get super busy. It is a lovely area to walk around. There is fresh spring water at the top you can taste. Great photo spot

The Gakwonsa Temple is nestled at the foot of Mount Taejosan located halfway from the peak of Taejosan Mountain, a natural landmark of Cheonan. It is the second largest temple in South Korea after Gyeongju Bulguksa Temple, and it is a very popular tourist spot in Cheonan City. The Jueyuan Temple is composed of Taizu Mountain Tower, Jinghai Tower, Guanyin Hall, Daxiong Hall, Thousand Buddha Hall, Mountain Temple, and Qixing Hall. A 60 tons bronze statue of a seated Buddha with it’s 15 meters in high, with the main peak of Taizu Mountain as a background sitting on the east and facing the west, welcomes all visitors with a compassionate and calming smile. To the left of the statue is the largest Buddhist prayer hall in Korea, the Daeungbojeon Hall, which along other temple buildings, draws many Buddhist followers. Around the Temple complex there are numerous nature trails winding through the forest and up the mountain. There is no admission fee, and there is plenty of parking. The temple is a lovely place to bring family for an afternoon of exploration and reflection. A must while visiting South Korea due to the pleasant feeling and beautiful buildings surrounded by nature.

A really nice place to experience.

Galwonsa Temple is a nice piece of history, the place oozes calmness and looking at the scenery you feel at peace. I am sure this place must be amazing during spring with all the cherry trees and colourful buildings with lanterns around. It's shame most of the restaurants around are permanently closed (Covid maybe?), but definitely still worth the trip and walking around. We had no problem with parking by the temple, but I can imagine the place is busier during the weekends.

The temple it's self is really beautiful and also very detailed. The hike is what I enjoyed the most. You can hike for as long as you like. For the best view travel along the left ridge when you reach the top. To go even further up.

We visited in the off season (autumn), so not all rides were open. The pay off for that was no queues for the rides that were open. But the biggest water slides were closed. Food and drinks were naturally over priced. Plenty of fun for the kids, stayed more than 5 hours.

It used to be called Tedin Water Park but now the name is changed. It is a decent sized water park in Cheonan. The rides are good enough. It is the best place to go in summer if you live in Cheonan.

It was okay to visit, but it’s not worth paying full price. After visiting, I could totally see why there were so many discount deals for this place. The full price for entrance was 55,000 won for adults and 45,000 won for kids during the low season, which I find not so cheap. Even with the high entrance price, there are extra costs for a life jacket (mandatory for attractions) and 25,000 won for a sunbed. I understand that some private cottages can be chargeable, but this is just a sunbed that you can sometimes sit on. There is no place you can actually sit without buying it. I visited at the beginning of May, and most of the outside attractions were closed. The staff were very kind and helpful, though.

Great rides. The indoor rides are good, too! The only downside is that the food prices are a bit steep. Not too bad, though. Good sauna, too!

Good waterpark for kids under 10 with family. Expensive, but, close to Southern Gyeonggi-do, just 40 minutes distance. The price should be lowered to be alive against the other competitors like Onemount, or Playdosi. Surely, there are the sales coupons on the internet, but still, a little bit expensive. Around this themepark with Daemyeong resort, CheonAhn Art Center is the almost only one building. The views of Daemyeong Resort are just 2, Kyeongbu highway or the undeveloped area with unknown plants. Highway view room's are noisy with the cars on the highways 1km far - I checked in. Theme park is expensive, but close from the southern Gyeonggi-do. The condo is a good building, but, the views are not so good.

Nice water entertainment. But, food choices are not good.

Not all the rides were open but I went on a weekday so that might be why. But overall everything was great.
