A really pretty walk with a lot of beautiful sights, but the suspension bridge is a little difficult to walk across because all the people on it cause it to swing back and forth. The dirt path is covered with a carpeted material to make it easier on the knees and feet to walk on, but it was fairly steeply downhill, which did cause my knee to hurt. It's a great hike if that's what you're looking for!

Great place for a family weekend getaway. Modern architecture has brought nature closer to people which can be realized just by looking at the cable bridge.

It has been long time to visit this stone bridge which didn't use any additive to glue the stones and yet the bridge has not been washed away. Noticed many smaller stones were separated meaning it may collapse sometime in future. Good civil engineering job!

First day of Jincheon Nongdari Mind blowing festival ...

A stone bridge consisting of 28 piers and top plates that have been built for over a thousand years old.

It's interesting place, I did hiking there

Its really nice place 🥰😍

Wow, a public & free hot foot spa in Korea? Unbelievable. I've never seen anything like this before in South Korea. If you're in Daejeon and nearby this place, definitely consider visiting it. Especially when the weather is cold The instruction on how to use this foot spa is available in English, and is pretty common sense. Let's all practice basic manners and keep this place clean

What a great thing to have. If you're nearby, I definitely recommend spending some time here. The water is so hot, I only managed 10 minutes! They have a great set-up going on, there's even an air compressor to dry your feet.

Definitely a place you must visit in daejeon, particularly when it is cold. It is a great neighborhood to have a Sunday evening stroll alone or with your family & friends.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to dip my feet in because of limited space. I could read the faces of people's who were enjoying hot spring. I saw a book shelf with free books to read and relex. Kids were also enjoying with parents. Worthy visit.

Very interesting way to relax during such cold weather. Mostly locals and some walk by foreigners soak their foots. Soak about 20-30mins depending on your own like

This is an area in Daejeon that is famois for the hot spas. In this park like area one can relax with uour feet in the hot spring water. It os also free. They call it a foot massage but no one touches your feet, they are messaged by the water! I also recommend that you walk around in the area and if you wish for a hot bath go to the YouSong Hotel. It is close to this area and lust ask as all in the area know of this famous hotel.

Free for public, good to visit during autumn when it’s cooling. Kids friendly!

If anyone out there needs electrical work, this company’s the one to call! Their electrician did an amazing job with my GFS lighting repair—he was thorough, cleaned up after himself, and didn’t overcharge. A+ service from start to finish!

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

I recently comes to know squid game 2 was shoot here It is really true or fake anyone tell me about it Thank you

This is an fairly large open area with not much shops around. You can cross the main street and go over the other side of the bridge with some more scenery.

I think everyone here is very friendly, and my plan is to bring my family for another vacation here 💕

Great. Green.

Daejeon Expo Science Park is one of those places where you can enjoy a bit of everything — history, science, and a relaxing walk. The park was built for the 1993 Expo, and you can still see Hanbit Tower standing tall with great panoramic views of the city. There are small museums and displays showing expo history, plus some interactive science exhibits that kids enjoy. The walking paths are wide and peaceful, with plenty of trees and seating areas. The Expo Bridge is especially beautiful in the evening when the lights come on, and sometimes there’s a music and fountain show near the plaza. It’s not a huge theme park, so don’t expect thrill rides, but it’s perfect for a 1–2 hour visit if you like scenic spots and light learning. Easiest way to enjoy it: come in the late afternoon, explore the tower and exhibits, then stay for sunset and the night lights. Great for families, couples, or anyone looking for a calm, photogenic place in Daejeon!

5,000 won for entry and you can use the kiosk to pay. I was hoping to see more but it seems there’s only exhibition on the first floor and a small room in the basement

We came during the rainy season and stumbled upon this museum because we couldn’t do anything outside haha So our expectations were really low and in-person exceeded our expectations. There were lots of exhibits and works of art around the museum. I think we spent about 1-2 hours strolling around! Here’s some of the pieces in May 2023

This place was a bit odd to me. I'm all for the arts but I was thinking this place was going to be one of those picture art places not gene splicing horse and human DNA to give a human prosthetic horse legs type art. So it was kinda weird. At the start of the tour, a lot of the art pieces were about body heat activated lights that were in a dark room. I enjoyed this. But toward the end, it was about prosthetics and people being controlled by robots. I am not an art person so I'm saying that this place wasn't my cup of tea per say.

It's a must place for interactive art lovers or if you just want to take some cool Instagram pictures.

Very interesting museum. They currently have exhibits based on bio mimicry and bio tech art. The museum itself is small and takes about 1 hour to view everything. There is a small cafe for drinks and small dishes. There is an interactive robot but that exhibit only opens from 2-3pm.

It was okay but 15000 won entrance fee for the special exhibition of Pulitzer Prize winning photographs were a little steep for what it was..

It was good that there weren't many people.

It was huge and I had a great experience.You can take a bus to hanbat arboretum and just walk.

Feel like they could have done more with the wide land here but the arboretum is still nice

Well maintained arboretum. Great work! Enjoy your day

**Hanbat Arboretum: A Nature Lover's Paradise!** This place is incredible! From the moment you enter, you're greeted by a beautiful rhythmic fountain and cooling showers. There's even a coffee shop, convenience store, and restaurant for refreshments. It's all kids friendly. For the active crowd: There's a huge paved cycling path with bikes you can rent. Lovely, shaded pedestrian walkways for walking or jogging. Feeling studious? Check out their well-stocked library, perfect for learning about plants and animals. Traveling with kids? They have a dedicated play area to keep them entertained in the library. The jewel in the crown: The arboretum itself boasts a variety of stunning flora and fauna (though I didn't explore the paid ticketed section). Beyond the plants: There's a beautiful natural pond teeming with colorful fish you can feed with bread. Relaxing walking paths with bridges offer scenic views. The atmosphere: Lush trees, calming birdsong, and the gentle sounds of a flowing stream create a truly peaceful environment. Comfortable benches are perfect for a moment of quiet reflection or conversation with loved ones. Heads up for nature enthusiasts: You may spot a snake warning sign in one of the thicket areas. These signs are just a safety precaution to let visitors know that snakes might be present in that area, but they don't roam. Hanbat Bridge: Relaxing walking paths with bridges offer scenic views, including the meticulously designed pedestrian bridge connecting the arboretum to the Hanbat Tower – a true engineering and colorful masterpiece! Overall: This arboretum is a masterpiece! The design and execution are top-notch. I could easily visit here countless times and never get tired of it. **Highly recommend!**

7 Apr 2024 It was crowded with families having fun cycling around, couples having picnic under the cherry blossom trees. Flower petals were falling as the gentle winds blew. Flowers in various stages of bloom and wilt were seen. It was a nice visit.

Wow- what a beautiful place. It’s a smaller version of the New York botanical garden but has a lot to see and do! As you enter there are a couple buildings on the right which you can enter. One is a green house and the other is insect research facility with an area with some live animals. (Lizards, bugs, fish). There is also a beautiful cafe on the rooftop of one of the buildings. It’s called the healing cafe. The rooftop has a lot of flowers and small birds and good drinks and snacks. As you go further in, you get to the gardens which are quite expansive and have various different areas. There is a lookout, two large ponds, meditation areas, senses garden and even a large field for kids to run around and play. You could spend many hours here. We stayed for about 2 as we walked through and had coffee at the cafe. Best of all - ITS FREE TO ENTER!!

Thos is a great place to excape the hussel of the day. It is located near the Daejeon Art Museum and is a beautifully landscaped park area with a variety of habitats. There are open lawn areas, ponds, streams and pavilions where one can sit down and watch the surprising amount of wildlife in this hidden enclave. I recommend it as a place to go and enjoy the boardwalks that lead to unexpected scenes. The only negative for me was a little traffic noise in the northern reaches of the park. Daejeon spent allot of effort to make a special location for getting away from the crowds for a few hours or even the whole day as the opening times are long, especially in the summer. Look at the enclosed photos for more information and come and enjoy.

Bronze mirrors, Buddhist tribute and items, Buddha carved stones and a golden crown from Shila which was excavated in Gyeongju.

The musuem has many antiques and prehistoric items on display albeit the museum is small. The permanent collection had a decent amount of English, but the private collection donated by the previous samsung chairman had no English description besides the name. Everything was free, and the scenery around the museum is quiet and beautiful! We didn't make any reservations and just lined up for like 2 mins?

Great place to learn about the history of Cheongju.

Great atmosphere and interesting artifacts. Make reservations in advance for the special exhibits.

A quiet and scenic museum. There are many things to enjoy.

This place is a must if you have children. The museum has lots of hands on but you must make an appointment. Best part is that it is free

Nice place to hang out!

Loved the place, but wear comfortable shoes because you will walk a lot.

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.

Beautiful park and so much things to do! It was quite bigger than I expected, and we really enjoyed the zoo, flower land and bird land. Lots of unique animals in the zoo area, and it is spacious and clean. Not lot of crowds during weekdays, which helped us getting plenty of time to roam around, enjoy the park and take tons of pictures. We loved it here!

Good place to spend weekends there. Many animal, birds exhibits and flower gardens are there. Takes almost 3_4 hours to filly cover the park. Also there are many rides on payment basis there which will keep the kids engaged. Plenty of parking

Great zoo, birds, safari, flowers . Lot of areas for children and people to enjoy and there is an option for tracking near by .

It’s a nice place to have fun in couple, family or friends. But if you can’t stand children’s screaming, that’s not a good place for you 😅 The Safari is nice but i felt heartbroken when i saw the elephant and the giraffe alone. They should not stay like this. 😞 also, It’s written it close at 6pm but at 5pm everyone have to get out of the parc. Even the gifts shop was close.

About 4 rides were close when we came. The waiting time per ride was fast. We like that the rides were longer... not much on food selection. You need to wear really good walking shoes as the zoo is located in the higher ground so a bit of walking uphill is needed. The toilets are not as clean as I would like them to be. The staff and crew are really nice and friendly. The safari ride was rather fast. So we didn't get to enjoy it as much.

Daejeon O-world, is a recreational park for adults and kids alike. Conveniently located the place can be reached by public transport and own vehicle. There are a lot of busses that run in this route. The place has a huge parking lot as well. Booking tickets in advance is recommended, as the place could get crowded especially on weekends. The place has theme parks, rids for kids to enjoy, a small safari, a good decent size zoo. We were surprised to see puma and jaguar in the zoo, which most of the zoos do not have/keep. The animal enclosures are big and plenty of space for them to roam around. However pity is to see large birds in small enclosures with no/very little space to fly. The safari is short but good. For kids there are a lot of rides to enjoy. There is also a dance performance by the staff, which is really good. The place has plenty of food options as well. From western food, burgers, fries, to Korean food and snacks. A good place to visit when in Daejeon, would recommend 5-6 hours to enjoy the place fully.

Daejeon o World is the main attraction of Daejeon. It’s a beautiful amusement park but it’s quite small as compared to the everland or lotte world. We enjoyed the gyro drop a lot. But the unique experience that i had there was the jungle safari as the bus is taking us on a ride through the jungle. This is first time I experienced how it feels to be behind bars. In most zoos the creatures are behind the bars and we enjoy watching them from outside. Here we were all stacked up in a bus like behind the bars and the creatures were freely moving in their natural habitat. So i do really liked this idea and enjoyed it. Also the flower garden was mesmerizing. It was beautifully decorated🤩 All the rides were amazing

This is a popular shopping area in Daejeon, South Korea. There are many foods, and shopping malls both underground and above ground. Affordable clothes, everything you need. Near the KTX station and subway, there are always music events here. There is also a famous bakery, Seong Sim Dang, in Daejeon.😋 You go ➡️ Subway ~ Jungangno station ( 105 )

Daejeon Skyroad – A Futuristic Walk Through the Heart of the City Located in Jung-gu, Daejeon, Skyroad is a massive LED arcade stretching over 250 meters along Jungang-ro. It’s a vibrant spot where media art, shopping, and leisurely strolls come together in the middle of the city. The dazzling video displays on the arch-shaped structure make you feel like you're walking through a futuristic metropolis. The area is known as "Euneungjeong," a popular hangout filled with shopping malls, cafés, restaurants, and other conveniences. It’s especially loved by younger crowds for its lively atmosphere and trendy vibe. Just a 15-minute walk from Daejeon Station, Skyroad truly comes alive at night. The combination of lights and visuals creates a magical ambiance—perfect for snapping photos that are sure to stand out on social media. If you're looking for a unique urban experience in Daejeon, this is definitely a must-visit spot!

A main shopping street of Daejeon. It is located 1 subway station or a 15mins walk from Daejeon railway station. U would find plenty of shops retailing clothes, branded goods and food. 🥘 Whether for an exquisite meal, local delight or simple snack, you will find something you like.

Lot of great shopping area, live, very nice and today there is a famous bred and cake and the line is huge . Come and enjoy the atmosphere

Unique experience for western visitors. Many stores, bakeries, restaurants, coffee shops etc. Everything is very colourful and there is a vibe of celebration. For some reason, which I am not clear about, there are multiple stores dedicated to claw machines ( aka crane game, skill crane or UFO catcher) Not one machine, not one store, but many stores of those machines. Somewhat strange. There are also stores that lets you dressup and take photos of yourself in a photo boot (which is kind of strange, given the availability of camera phones). Another uniqe shop is the cats coffeshop. It has a song that stucks in your head about how to meow. The skyroad is also very close to the Daejeon market. Both highly recommended. The only downside is the parking, but overall it is not very expensive.

The place has many stores and the roof over the street looks fantastic. Be aware that the main lights in the middle of the skyroad were turned off when I arrived there. I strongly suggest to check schedules and look more information on internet beforehand.I suggest you check the streets nearby as well, because they have cool lighting and several stores to hang out.

I’ve never seen a place like this, looks like some kind of steampunk futuristic street. Definitely one of the most interesting spots of Daejeon. You will get an overload of smells, lights and noises. There are a lot of places to eat, shop and drink.

Love it.

Nice place to learn about the history of Gingseng

Good

Not so bad

good

(Translated by Google) Visited on 2024.10.13. The main event of the Geumsan trip is the Geumsan World Ginseng Festival. The Janghang Maekmundong Festival that I experienced in Seocheon at the end of August remained a good memory, so I looked for other local festivals like this in October and found the Geumsan Ginseng Festival. In addition to this place, the Gujeolcho Festival held in Jeongeup was also a candidate, but some said that Gujeolcho was not in full bloom, so we ultimately chose the Geumsan Ginseng Festival. We arrived at the festival venue around 6:30 PM, planning to see the festival, have a light dinner at the food court, and even watch the closing ceremony performance. However, at that time, most experience facilities or events had already closed or were withdrawing. The closing ceremony performance was supposed to end at 10 PM, so even the jeweler stopped by, thinking it would be okay until 9 PM, but it was an easy decision. Since I had planned to eat until dinner at the festival venue, I suddenly became impatient, so I walked across the festival venue while taking pictures. After passing the main event stage, there was a food truck zone, and after going a little further, a ginseng market appeared. I found out that Baek Jong-won had opened a separate food event hall, but it wasn't easy to see, so I wondered where it was, but it was on the other side of the food truck zone. At an event venue called Baek Jong-won's Geumsan Ginseng Food Festa, the menus seen on YouTube were being sold. However, at this time, it was 7 PM and most of the menu items were already sold out, so the only items left to order were tteokbokki, gimbap, sausage, hot dogs, and volkatsu. In a situation where there were almost no options, I was trying to figure out what to eat, so I bought just tteokbokki and kimbap, but they really didn't taste like ginseng at all. Even on YouTube, they added ginseng, but they said the point was to hide the scent of ginseng, and they did that. After a simple dinner, we headed to the main event stage to watch the closing ceremony performance. The famous invited singers included Hongja, Park Nam-jeong, and Kang Jin, and Hongja came out first and sang a few songs. The trot singers who came out after Hongja were also like that, and their stage performance skills were basically good. This seemed to happen even more because the performances I attended were often festivals and events, and the audience was middle-aged and elderly. Near the end, Park Nam-jeong appeared, followed by Kang Jin, and all the performances ended and the festival ended. By the way, when Park Nam-jung appeared, the excitement at the event was the hottest. I sang four songs, and when I sang “Missing You” at the end, the response was explosive. It was amazing and fun that Park Nam-jeong was almost 60 years old and could still dance and sing. In particular, the footwork was still the same. 2024 is said to be the 42nd World Geumsan Ginseng Festival. Since it is a festival so old that you wonder if it has been that long, all the singers who participated in the performance mentioned it at least once. In fact, we arrived on the last day of the festival, which lasted for 11 days from October 3rd to 13th, past 6pm when most of the events had ended, so we didn't experience anything and only watched the closing ceremony performance, so we enjoyed the event. It's embarrassing to say, but I got the feeling that this is what local festivals are like. The festival seemed to have been well controlled overall, and it was especially impressive to see the event venue being evacuated and cleaned up in an orderly manner after the closing ceremony. The Geumsan Ginseng Festival was not a festival with anything particularly special, but I immediately felt that it was an event that had everything and did the basics. I could feel the strength of an event that has been going on for over 40 years. Although there were a lot of people, the parking lot was large and restrooms were appropriately placed, so there was no inconvenience. (Original) 2024.10.13 방문. 금산 여행의 메인 일정인 금산세계인삼축제. 8월말 서천에서 경험한 장항맥문동축제가 좋은 기억으로 남아 있어 10월에 이런 지역 축제가 또 뭐가 있을까 싶어 찾아보다 금산인삼축제를 발견했다. 이곳 말고 정읍에서 열리는 구절초축제도 후보였는데 구절초가 덜 폈다는 얘기도 있고 해서 최종적으로는 금산인삼축제를 선택했다. 축제 구경도 하고, 푸드 코트에서 간단한 저녁 식사, 그리고 폐막식 공연까지 보는 것을 계획하고 오후 6시 30분쯤에 축제 행사장에 도착했다. 그런데 그 시간에 이미 대부분의 체험 시설이나 행사는 영업이 끝났는지 철수했거나 철수하고 있는 상황이었다. 폐막식 공연이 오후 10시에 끝나는 것으로 돼있어 오후 9시까지는 괜찮지 않을까하고 보석사까지 들렸다 온건데 안이한 판단이었다. 축제 행사장에서 저녁까지 먹을 생각을 하고 간 것이어서 갑자기 마음이 급해졌고, 일단 사진을 찍으면서 축제장을 가로질렀다. 메인 행사무대를 지나니 푸드 트럭존이 있었고 조금 더 가니 인삼시장이 나타났다. 백종원이 따로 먹거리 행사장을 열었다는 것을 알고 왔는데 쉽게 보이지 않아서 어디 있는건가 했는데 푸드 트럭존 반대편에 있었다. 백종원의 금산인삼 푸드페스타 라는 이름의 행사장에서는 유튜브에서 봤던 그 메뉴들을 팔고 있었다. 그런데 이때 시간이 오후 7시였는데 이미 대부분의 메뉴가 품절이어서 주문 가능한 메뉴는 떡볶이, 김밥, 소시지, 핫도그, 볼카츠 정도만 남아 있었다. 선택지가 거의 없는 상황에서 뭘 먹어볼까 하다 떡볶이와 김밥만 하나씩 사서 먹어봤는데 정말 인삼 맛은 전혀 나지 않았다. 유튜브에서도 인삼을 넣었지만 인삼의 향을 숨기는 것이 포인트라고 하더니 그러긴 했다. 간단한 저녁 식사를 마치고 폐막식 공연을 보기 위해 메인 행사무대로 향했다. 초대 가수로 이름을 알만한 가수로는 홍자, 박남정, 강진 정도가 있었는데 홍자가 맨 먼저 나와서 몇 곡을 부르고 갔다. 홍자 이후에 나온 트로트 가수들도 그랬는데 기본적으로 무대 진행 능력들이 좋았다. 아무래도 다니는 공연이 축제나 행사가 많고 관객이 중장년, 노년층이 많아서 더 그렇게 되는 듯 했다. 마지막쯤 박남정이 나오고 그 다음에 강진이 나오면서 모든 공연이 끝나고 축제도 끝났다. 참, 박남정이 나왔을 때 행사장의 열기가 가장 뜨거웠다. 네 곡을 부르고 갔는데 마지막에 널 그리며를 부를 때는 반응이 폭발적이었다. 어느덧 60살에 가까워진 박남정인데 여전히 춤과 노래가 되는 것이 신기하고 재밌었다. 특히 발놀림이 여전했다. 2024년은 42회째 세계금산인삼축제라고 한다. 그렇게 오래됐나 싶을 정도로 오래된 축제다보니 공연에 참가한 가수들도 한번씩 다 언급했다. 사실 10월 3일부터 13일까지 11일이나 진행된 축제를 우리는 마지막날, 그것도 대부분의 행사가 끝난 오후 6시를 넘긴 시간에 도착해 뭐 하나 체험하지도 못하고 폐막식 공연만 보고 왔기 때문에 행사를 즐겼다고 말하기에는 민망한 수준이지만 지역 축제가 이런 거구나, 라는 정도의 느낌은 충분히 받고 왔다. 축제는 전반적으로 통제가 잘 됐던 것 같고 특히 폐막식 공연이 끝난 뒤 일사불란하게 행사장을 철수하고 정리하는 모습이 인상적이었다. 금산인삼축제는 특별히 대단한 무언가가 있는 축제는 아니었지만 있을 것은 다 있는, 기본은 하는 행사라는 것이 바로 느껴졌다. 40년 넘은 행사의 내공이 느껴졌다. 사람이 많았지만 주차장도 넓고 화장실 등도 적당히 배치돼있어 불편함은 없었다.

(Translated by Google) This is my first time to a festival this big! It was great because there were so many delicious things!!!! It was nice that there were a lot of places to experience the best taste, and it was worth the trip that took over 3 hours!! I arrived too late to use the foot bath experience, but everyone was friendly and there were no exorbitant prices!! I think it's the right festival, so I'm going again next time~❤️ (I don't have a picture, but the ginseng bowl cutlet, fried ginseng sausage, and tteokbokki are so delicious... eat it twice!!^^) (Original) 이렇게 큰 축제는 처음 와봐요! 맛있는거 넘 많아서 좋았어요!!!! 짱맛존맛 체험할곳도 많아서 좋았구, 3시간넘게 걸려서 갈만한 곳이였어요!! 족욕체험은 너무 늦게가서 이용하진 못했지만ㅜ 다들 친절하시고 바가지요금도 없습니다!! 바른 축제인거 같아서 담에 또 가려구요~❤️ (사진은 없지만 인삼볼카츠 인삼튀김 소세지 떡볶이 넘 맛있어요... 두번드세요!!^^)

Beobjusa is one of those places where you start off thinking, “Let’s just take a few photos,” and 10,000 photos later you realize your storage is full. The temple buildings are beautiful, calm, ancient, and surprisingly photogenic (even my camera got zen). The huge Buddha statue looks like it’s silently judging your life choices but in a loving way. And the flower arrangements made everything look amazing. There are little shops around selling snacks, teas, and souvenirs, and the people are so kind it’s impossible not to smile back. Definitely wear comfy shoes, enlightenment comes with stairs! This place is perfect for nature lovers, history fans, and anyone who needs a break from city chaos or too many notifications.

Today was an amazing day to finally able to visit the Golden Buddha in South Korea. Very calming and beautiful place to visit.

This temple is beautiful and hosts a few of the Korea national treasures. We visited during the evening prayers and were able to observe the gong ritual. Enjoying the tranquility of the yard, with the prayer chants filling the air from multiple closed hall, and the setting sun made the visit majical

All the whole of Korea the best location is a temple which is a huge area, the best spot to enjoy the landscape. The beautiful wooden pagoda, 4 kinds of different bell. You will get a holy water from here. Before the entrance to the temple, there are a lot of fresh jujubes shops they let you taste so you can buy some after visit the temple.

The temple is a UNESCO world heritage and we spent one fine day here in 2020 autumn (31 Oct). We walked from the bus station to the temple and then also walked to the nearby lake, before taking a dinner at the town.

Very cool temple with the biggest Buddha Statue in Korea! Also normally the monks hit this big gong only once every day at 5pm. We had the „luck“ to be there at the same time as about 200 british jamboree children and every one of them who liked got to hit the gong! So we got to experience the gong not only once but about a hundred times while we were there! Kinda annoying but fun at the same time. >ㅇ<

I desided hiking to Cheonwangbong but first I visited the famous temple Beobjusa which is located under the peak. By an entrance I paid 5000 won. I have to admit it's the amazing temple with a dominant Golden Maitreya Buddha Statue.

Good place to see the Korean musician.

The facility is not that big, but it's nice to be able to see traditional Korean instruments in real life that you've only seen in textbooks.

This is a beautiful Buddhist temple. It is a very important temple in Korea. It was thankfully not bombed during the Korean War. Orders were given to a North Korean pilot to bomb the temple as it was believed UN troops were using the area, but fortunately the pilot knew the importance of this sacred temple and he only machine gunned along an outer perimeter and did not cause significant damage to the temple, but reported that he had bombed it. There is a river that runs along one side of the temple grounds. The tripitaka library is on the temple grounds. It is best to see the Tripitaka Library for information about the very famous library.

Visited this wonderful temple during our recent trip to South Korea. It is a very scenic 1 hour bus ride from the Seobu bus station (not from the Dongdaegu bus terminal) in the town of Daegu. There is a short uphill treck to this temple complex. Lucky for us, there were morning ceremonies taking place when we went, chanting, drum beating by a group of monks, and an aerial display of dogfight practice (with flares) by two sets of fighter jets up above our heads. This temple is a UNESCO World Heritage site. There is extensive online writeup - that is a must read - regarding the storage of the Buddhist Tripitaka. Buddhist religious scrolls on wooden boards. Very impressive!! There is also a temple stay provision for those so inclined to immerse themselves in the natural serenity for a longer time. A full day trip (longer if possible) will do justice. Note - while one can pay for the bus trip to Haeinsa Temple by card at the Seobu Bus Station - the return trip has no such flexibility. The return trip is only payable by cash on the bus. Lucky for me, there is an ATM that accepts global cards on the temple premises - where i had withdrawn some cash, prior to our return.

It’s a massive temple with an amazing UNESCO world heritage. Our guide monk made the concept of Buddhism and the temple’s history very easy to understand. We were also accompanied by a full-time English interpreter, who was exceptionally friendly and helpful. While reaching the location can be quite challenging without a car, but still worth a visit for a temple stay if you’re spending quite a long time in Korea.

Each and every Buddhist shrine in South Korea makes a stunning impression and literally transports you to a different dimension. Ancient Zen (Seon) monasteries are usually located in the mountains - in remote secluded areas, which are hard to access. I might have never reached Haeinsa if there hadn't been a cultural program called “Temple stay”, which exists for over fifteen years. Technically, it gives everyone an opportunity to try to live monastic lifestyle for a few days. Philosophically, it is a chance to learn about your true self, talk to your inner self. Haeinsa temple, situated in the Gaya mountains, often embraced with fog, is well-known for being home to "Tripitaka Koreana" - a complete collection of the Buddhist scriptures carved on more than 80,000 wooden blocks. It was here, where I did my "Temple stay". Once you sign up for the program, you have to follow a set routine. First 24 hours at the monastery might seem to pass slowly in the beginning, but soon they actually fly. A monk's day starts at 3.30 am with the tolling of a majestic bell. Visitors gather at the main hall for the morning ritual. The sound of the throbbing Dharma drum reverberates and wakes up even peaceful mountain peaks. There is a morning practice of 108 prostrations and one hour for meditation before having monastic meals at 6 am. There is a prayer at 10 am, lunch at 12 noon, dinner at 5 pm and night ritual at 6 pm. The rest of the hours can be spent walking around the back of the mountain, performing Zen meditation, or having conversations with monks. Along with the other participants I was invited for teatime with a monk. "At the temple, I hope, you will learn wisdom and life skills rather than intellectual knowledge about Buddhism", - he said.

I stayed this temple for 3 days due to meditation program. It's bit far from Seoul, almost 5 hours and half. But the nature, heritage, programs, monk, most being in this temple was quite impressive and beautiful, full of joy even include almost people I met. I totally recommend to stay this temple who seeing my review.

They have a lot of parking. If you have enough time, you should try to hike. On the other hand, you can drive to park near the gate

Beautiful and peaceful place in the countryside

Really beautiful and well maintained provincial park. You get to experience nature and Korean history with a variety of landmarks on the trail from temples to caves. If you are hiking to the peaks it's an intermediate hike but there is an option of taking the cable car to one of the temples if you are looking for a strain free day. Getting to the mountain is also easy, a 5 minute (approx., 4,000 KRW) taxi ride from Gumi Station. Plus, plenty of eating options at the bottom of the mountain.

Good place's

It's an even more beautiful place this time of year.

This is a fantastic mountain.

Took the cable car up and walked back down. Beautiful park and definitely a nice day out if you are in Gumi.

Amazing to see in person. Nice to walk around and see the different buildings. Incredible that people actually live there. Shuttle bus there and back was a bit too crowded for my liking, but the ride is short…3 min. Well worth the visit.

Must visit this historical village!!! Getting a car is much easier to approach but there’s local bus to this village.(210 bus, 30 minutes) And if you arrive in Andong station or bus terminal before noon, you would be able to visit Byounsan Seowon(Check time table!!) first then visit this village. For me, renting a bike is better to look around than walking. (Plus you can save time if you don’t have a car!)

Definitely worth the visit. It is a living traditional korean village. Very historical and fun place to walk around. Loved the mask and shaman history. Made me.feel like we (humanity) were all connected. Highly recommend visiting.

A well preserved Hanok village, showing how the houses and streets were like back in the days. Some people are still living there so be considerate when exploring. The folk village is particularly famous for its mask performances, which is regarded as a UNESCO cultural heritage. However, it’s a little slow-paced for me and I only watched about 3/4 of it. To get here, one can either drive and then take a shuttle bus in, or take bus 210 from Andong bus terminal / Andong KTX station.

very beautiful and super peaceful village. not so much wait for the shuttle but it was in may, week day. if you want to eat, only place where you can find food is near the ticket office, not in the village once you too the shuttle bus. you can go out and come back with the same tickets though and the shuttle takes max 15min (drive is very short but you need to wait either for the bus to be full to leave or wait to get a in)

Although the actual village living area was quite small grouped into a compact neighborhood, it's features pretty much represented the quaint and pragmatic lifestyle of an old era. The location however is absolutely breathtaking, high up overlooking the reservoir and nestled within such colorful vegetation; one couldn't feel sorry for residents of yore lacking in many modern amenities bc they had this terrific vista to feed their soul. It seemed like a real healthy kind of living as well. No wonder Koreans are mostly slim and fit

This charming Korean folk village, set against the backdrop of a scenic river, offers a truly beautiful experience. Visitors can even dress up in traditional hanbok, adding to the authenticity of the visit. Highly recommended!

A well curated museum full of interesting masks from cultures around the world. Explanations of most masks in English and all in Korean. A good 35-60min stroll.

The museum is a must visit for anyone travelling to Andong. It offers a unique and enriching experience, combining visual art with cultural history.

Awesome museum where you can see masks from traditional Korean plays, and also masks from all over the world. The museum is free. There is a great little gift shop at the end with local souvenirs

It is free and most of the information is also presented in English. It is only interesting when you are already visiting Andong Hahoe Hanok Village though.

This museum is packed with a global collection of masks. The display of the exhibits is organised and the upstairs displays cover many other first nations masks.

Amazing Mask Museum with variety mask from many places around the world. Each section is provided with the detailed description. The enterance fee is 5000 won and includes the visit in the Hahoe Folk Village and Mask Dance performance. Highly recommended

Interesting museum, restaurants, folk village connected. We had fun here🫰🏻

Beautiful, serene comely place under the mountains with a nice river meandering through.

A must-visit place! Can imagine the students student at the deck facing the river and mountains Need to park outside (free parking) with toilets And walk another 400m to reach the academy

A fried recommended this as a "hidden gem" only locals know about it, so when I saw 3 large buses in the car park.. on a cold December day I was pretty surprised. Turns out they were filming a Korean drama there - so this added to the excitement and experience of wondering around this place. I also visited Dosanseowon and I believe it was much better!

The way leading there from the village was hard to find. It had some nice views, but when we got to the academy it was already closed. Maybe it's because we didn't get in, but from the outside it looked much like other buildings in the village. We decided to head back going the other way around the hill so as not to repeat the trail; terrible idea. That road is only meant for cars!

UNESCO site. Old Confucian Academy, which is set of different buildings. There are brief descriptions provided. Entrance is free. However, for me it wasn't so interesting. You can take a trail to the Hahoe Village with a beautiful view if you're there

You need your own vehicle to get here. But it's a nice place to visit, very quiet and serene.

UNESCO world heritage listed Byeongsan Seowon is recognized as one of the most beautiful traditional buildings in Korea.

I have been to Duryu Park several times, and each time has been fun! Right next door is E-World and the 83 tower! Where you can play to your heart's content. I usually always go there every summer for the Chimak Festival in Daegu. At this festival, many people from all over Korea come to eat delicious chicken and drink various drinks, especially beer! I enjoy going so I can have a good time, vibe with my friends, and, of course, for the love of chicken. Lol. The music and performances are also always great, and I enjoy my time there and look forward to going every year. 🤗 I also hope to picnic here one day with my friends.

Duryu Park is a really calm and comfortable place to walk around. It’s big, clean, and perfect if you just want to relax or enjoy some fresh air. I liked the peaceful vibe and the green scenery. A nice spot to spend some quiet time in the city.

Duryu Park is home to many great spaces such as e-world and 83 Tower. Most importantly, the spot for the Chimak Festival that happens every year in Daegu.Its basically a festival where people can eat food and drink whatever they like. Enjoyed good vibes, music, performances, and the love of chicken. It was my first time going this year, and it was just so much fun. Made new friends and just danced to the music. Enjoyed my time there 🥰 even if you go on a normal day, Duryu Park is a nice place for having a picnic, enjoying nature, and basking in the sun.

Last week a spectacular Daegu Chimac Festival 2024 was held in Duryu Park, Daegu. It was such a great experience to attend this grande festival. I went with my friends and we enjoyed a lot. We had Daegu's best ever chicken paired with some fresh beer. The most attractive thing from the festival was the DJ's performance. It was fun, energetic and super crowded. Daegu was succesfully organized this biggest summer festival. I would love to attend next year Daegu's Chimac Festival 2025 :D

Beautiful park for a walk, and if you want a bit of a challenge walk all the way up the hill, the view is great. The pond is a beautiful spot for pictures. Theres a handful of locals that go to the park for their daily walks and exercise.

This park is a gem located in the heart of Daegu ❣️ I came to this park in every season and enjoy different aspects of it. Sometimes a relaxing walk through the trees sometimes picnic with friends sometimes romantic dates 🥰 Also I went to ChiMac Festival in 2023 and 2024 🍺🐔 Daegu ChiMaek festival is a time that I look forward to because it is so much fun with all the events going on and I enjoy dancing with different genres of music ❣️

Great place all around. Excellent facilities, bathrooms, gardens, and snack places. Great for exercise or just relaxing picnic.

I feel like it's a great place to take pictures, but only at the ground level for the cherry blossoms. Observatory deck has a small cafe featuring 2 mascots from E World, along with some goggles for close-up views of the scenery. Is it worth the torturous climb? Not really if you're unfit. Total time taken to climb was roughly 10-15 minutes. It is an inclined slope as well. I had no thoughts about the cafe, didn't try the drinks, but they have cute little trinkets. Btw, while you're trekking up to the tower, there will be E World music playing all the way up, soooo good luck... 🫠

The observatory deck provides an incredible panoramic view of the entire city. The tower also features a revolving restaurant and a Sky Lounge, both renowned for their top-tier cuisine and stunning night views. Other notable attractions include a small classical music museum with elegant red carpets, and even restrooms that offer a unique city vista. Outside the tower, you can find classic cars and a bus on display, though note that there may be a fee to view them.

Great view of Deagu, and has nice photo opportunities and a cool musical movie themed museum, as well as an ice rink (which we didn't use) and eateries

The attractions are somewhat limited; however, a visit to the restaurant on the 78th floor is recommended, as access to the observatory deck is complimentary.

Daegu 83 Stunning views across Daegu from the top of Daegu 83 tower which are not to be missed! I visited recently and I was blown away by the 360 views from the top of the tower! If you want an even more perfect experience then I suggest visiting for sunset! Spring time is also wonderful with beautiful cherry blossoms all around!

83 Tower visit was ok - nothing impressive from any other tower. However our tickets were included with the eWorld tickets.

Daegu 83 Tower is a must-visit destination. I went during the last week of March and the first week of April when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, adding to the charm of the experience. As you approach the Tower, you're greeted by the blossoms, setting the perfect mood. Upon reaching the top, clear signs guided me through the ticket purchasing process, and visiting on a Thursday meant minimal wait times. The panoramic views from the tower were simply breathtaking. Plus, there are other attractions like the movie museum nearby, enhancing the overall experience. My visit was nothing short of amazing, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Loved visiting the traditional Korean Seomun market during our recent visit to Daegu. Enjoyed walking the streets and inside the market lined with local offerings of food, clothing, travel accessories and the friendly bustle of a local market. Took advantage of the local offerings of Tteokbokki and Hotteok - lip smacking good!! We also found a store selling local made candy and got a kilo of these little sugar delicacies - milk, pumpkin, peanut flavors, etc. The owner of the store topped off our purchase with a generous handful - on the house!! Worth visiting every nook and cranny of this wonderful market.

For a true Daegu local experience, this market is a must-visit location. There is a wholesale trade section for wet and dried seafood, a huge multi-level section for retail fashion clothings and kitchenware, an array of street food vendors, a section for popular local restaurants and the amazing list goes on… Expect heavy traffic in this area and suggest to arrive/depart by train. I tried to book a taxi via app and was unsuccessful at about 5pm.

We hit the weekend night market which is just good down the main street. Great food and some of the best street food we had in Korea was here. There was love music and places to eat the food you got from the vendors as well. Overall a fun experience and worth going to if there on a weekend evening. We all went in the day time to look around and buy a hanbok which there are many options. A very large market that we barely got to see when there was we ran out of time. Do watch some of the vendors give cheap wire underdress with the hanbok.

This market is not only for street food, you can literally find anything in here. I enjoyed my lunch, dinner and dessert here. Also I bought some souvenirs. It was really fun to wander around in this market👍❤️ great experience

This market is the most famous in Daegu and for good reason! The street food is incredible and very affordable, not to mention the vast variety of independent stalls and crafts which are sold here! This place is very busy, so I would suggest going before or after lunch unless you are going to eat here! Easily accessible and a great local day in Daegu!

I stayed in a hotel at walking distance to Seomun market and incidentally explored it by searching on Google. It is a super large and vibrant traditional market. I bought some winter stuff at very good price. I surprisingly saw the dishes much like which we also had in my country (pork intestines tasting so good). In front of the market there are bus lines including no.2&3 connecting with the old village attraction. Worthy to experience!

So many things to see, eat and shop.

Apsan Park Beautiful spot with a full view of Daegu city. Amazing hiking experience! As always, Korea impresses with well arranged hiking trails. This one is no exception.

Fabulous city park. Hike. Walk. Cable car. You want to summit? You got choices.

What a hike for this mountain. I took the patriot trail which starts from the military memorial at the bottom. Lots of steep and uneven trails. There is also a good amount of stairs near the top that make it even more tiring. The view is very well worth it when you make it to the top. I did the cable car back down. There is also a nice restaurant at the top that has an English menu.

This is a beautiful mountain which is easily accessible from most parts of Daegu! I really love visiting here during fall to see the beautiful colourful leaves, but it is a great place to visit all year round. Apsan is walkable if you like hiking and it has amazing beautiful night views, however if you are like me and enjoy taking the cable car then it is also possible for around 12,000 won! There is a restaurant and coffee shop at the top and a stunning view point!

A very beautiful park located on a mountain ..you can go in at multiple entry points..it is a shame i was not able to check out the observatory due to time :(

Great hiking experience in Daegu. There's also cable car if you don't want to go hiking.

Beautiful day of hiking around here. Great place to see the cherry blossoms and other other flowers.

I had visited before in the past and I recently visited again. It is a very serene place where people worship buddha so there is no noise and visitors and just walk around taking in the ambience.

Love it from the begging to the end! One of the peaceful places I ever been. Forest, temple, status, lantern, cascade~ evrrything! I enjoyed so much! Prepare your camera and a confy shoes, you will enjoy the architecture and the nature at the same time!

This is located in the North part of South Korea, it is one of the famous temples over there located in the mountain. Around 1hr of trekking is required to reach the base.

This is a very beautiful temple in a spectacular setting. The giant Buddha is amazing and set off against the lush green trees. When the sky is bright blue the whole setting is gorgeous. The very short walk to the Buddha with the stream and waterfall is very relaxing.

No matter how much the civilization of the world has changed, the harmonized lines of the roof tiles of Donghwasa Temple and the lines of Palgong Mountain are still beautiful enough to take your breath away. Even a casual stroll in and around the temple will leave you feeling refreshed. But there's a thing you must be careful of. Do not visit Donghwasa Temple in October and November, when autumn is in full swing. You might have a feeling of being in heaven which can cause your mind to disembodied.

I went there 17th of August ‘22. Bus 1 dropped me off at the main centre point. From there, it's about a 15 min walk. There is a tunnel you have to go through, but there is someone there where you have to buy tickets from (3000kw) for one access. It was there at 8 am, so it was quiet. People are already praying. When you turn right, you have to walk for just 5 min, and then you find the giant Buddha statue. One thing I love about Korea is not only at this place - clean toilets everywhere, more hygienic than my hostel 😂 and you can pay with your card if you want to buy a souvenir. Worth it. It takes approx. ~ 1.5 hours, so you can combine it with the cable cart.

While chasing the dying, everywhere lacks energy; everything is muddled; everyone is confused. Especially me, all senses are closed here. I wouldn't meditate. Why did I come for this?

I was recommended this place by my friend from Korea. To reach the location, I’d suggest taking a bus first, then preparing to climb a lot - and I mean a lot - of stairs. The stairs were steep and uneven, so be prepared and be careful. The weather at the top of the mountain was quite humid.

The hike up (Palgong) mountain was long & exhausting; a fun & necessary workout, nonetheless. There were resting spots where one could catch their breath & take pictures. The view from the top was stunning & so was the Gatbawi statue.

The uphill path was quite painful, but since it’s said that the Buddha of Gatbawi grants at least one wish, I endured and kept climbing. People say the path from the Daegu side is extremely tough, so I went up from the Gyeongsan side instead — but even then, it was really exhausting. If you buy candles or offering rice at Gwaneum Rest Area, you can take a one-way shuttle bus from there.

I had reached Gatbawi after halfday excursion from Deagu. Gatbawi Rock, I believe this place is one of the most memorable places of me in Korea so far. Located on top of the Gatbawi Mounting , I reached the top after climbing about 1500 stairs. You are ready to climb seriously here. Its depend on human for his/her body fitness . The path starts in one direction from the bus stop or car park. Take a short path up there some stone steps off the right - if you want it then take it. Both the main path and the narrower path the steps lead to go past two temples before the path really diverges; one small temple and one much bigger one a little higher up. The second route is on the right (the temple is up and the top is a doorway). I think it's a little tall, but the last height is the same. There is an area for prayer on top and a small shop in which trinket and water, and a toilet. But I met the Buddha statue and many people praying. There is a good sense of achievement at the top and it is a very spiritual place for all people who pray. I am not Buddhist but this place is really fascinating. So peaceful place, it was actually an important part of my visit to Korea. I will strongly advise everyone to visit this place.

Many steep steps to the stone Buddha at the top. Then a nice view on the hills and plains of Daegu if you are not absorbed in prayers

Hike this trail, it’s good for the body, mind and spirit :)

Steep climb but absolutely worth the while it was a wonderful experience shared with all the friendly Koreans
