Golden Gingko Road at Goesan Munkwang Reservoir

Walking along the Gingko Tree Road at Goesan Munkwang Reservoir felt magical, like stepping onto a golden carpet of fallen leaves. The last of October’s gingko leaves swirled in the wind like soft snow, creating a scene too beautiful to miss. Around the reservoir, stunning natural views at every turn made the walk unforgettable. Visit soon—these golden leaves won’t last much longer! 📍Address: Yanggok-ri 16, Mungwang-myeon, Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea #voyagevibes #localguides

Meditation Cloud Bridge on Mount Jwagusan

Visiting the Meditation Cloud Bridge on Mount Jwagusan was a unique and delightful experience 🌁. The bridge flows between the mountains, offering stunning views of the surrounding nature 🌳🌄. I enjoyed walking on the bridge and felt calm and relaxed amidst the beauty of nature 🌿. The fresh air and open views made the experience even more enchanting and refreshing 🍃. There were many visitors sharing the same peace and comfort 😊. I had a wonderful time meditating and enjoying nature, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Aquatic Plant Learning Center in Winter

#wintertrip Of note is a small chapel built on the hill by the building that looks like a castle. On March 28, 2009, a large forest fire broke out here. The use of fire extinguishers proved unsuccessful and it seemed hopeless. Then suddenly, Jesus appeared out of the flames wearing a purple cloth on his shoulder. He prevented the fire from spreading. The witness who was suffering from shingles and severe pain was completely cured. This chapel was erected in commemoration of the event. For location is 255 Bangasil-gil, Gunbuk-myeon, Okcheon-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do.

Aquatic Plant Learning Center in Winter

#wintertrip Located at the heart of Daecheong Lake, The Aquatic Plant Learning Center is a lovely place for a walk among the gardens with views of the lake. Opened in 2003, the center consists of five households which cultivate, propagate and distribute aquatic plants. In 2008, it was designated by the Chungcheongbuk-do Office of Education as an experimental learning center. General admission is 6,000 won and easily enjoyed for the gardens on the property.

Baekseokjeong Pavillion in Autumn season

#falltrip Autumn colors are just starting, which means us photographers are going to be super busy trying to get in as much as possible. Today I went to a few places, starting with this pavilion overlooking the Nangseongcheon Stream. It is certainly not a famous spot as there isn't even a parking lot.I claimed that this spot was an ideal Confucian location with natural harmony and peace. The current version of the pavilion was built in 1927 after the original fell into disrepair. It is closed to the public for safety concerns, but can easily be viewed from the bridge and across the river.
