#Domestic travel Chungju Salmi-myeon's representative tourist attraction, Crocodile Peak, opened before moving👍 Originally, the hiking trail was not well maintained, so it was dangerous and inaccessible, but after about a year of construction, an official hiking trail was established. ⛰️ I visited the day after it opened, and it was so crowded that even in the afternoon, it was packed with people. There is no separate admission fee or operating hours, but go up at least before 3 PM. You will be able to come down before the sun sets. 🌅 The view of Chungju Lake from Crocodile Peak reminiscent of a herd of crocodiles, so it was named Crocodile Peak. 🐊 It was really spectacular when I saw it in person, so I thought it was a good thing I didn't know about it. It takes 30-40 minutes one way, but there is only an uphill road, so it was quite difficult. Even if you don't have hiking boots, sneakers are essential. 📍 Crocodile Peak 📌 Chungbuk Chungju-si Salmi-myeon Wolak-ro 927 🅿️ The parking lot is spacious. 💰Free admission #ChungjuTravel #CrocodilePeak

A place to stay slowly, Warm winter trip at Seoyuseok ❄️ For a cold winter trip, a hanok stay with ondol is good! I visited Seoyuseok in Chungju, and they turned on the boiler at check-in time, so I felt warm as soon as I entered 😍 There are a total of 8 independent houses in Seoyuseok, and each room had a slightly different character. We stayed in room 2, and I liked the round frame next to the bed, and the view of the hanok and mountains outside the window. On the day we stayed, Sanggodae was in bloom, so the snowy scenery was really beautiful ❄️ In particular, the breakfast provided to guests was the best in both taste and visuals! Since it's winter, I ate warm pumpkin porridge, It was comfortable and filling, so it was good 💛 Not only in winter, but also in other seasons I definitely want to visit again 🌿 📍Seoyoosuk Pension @stay.seoyoosuk ✔️ 596 Deok-eun-ro, Sotae-myeon, Chungju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do ✔️ No kids zone / No pets allowed ✔️ Check-in 11am Check-out 3pm #Ho-kangs #Unique accommodation #Hot place #Hanok stay #Chungju travel #Winter travel #Winter travel destination recommendation

#IndoorDate I visited Coffee Bay, a cafe with an impressive blue signboard, when I needed caffeine in a hurry during my trip to Chungju. I was surprised by the amazing taste of the coffee. In particular, the beans for Dutch coffee and Americano had a rich flavor and moderate acidity, so the balance was very good.

When we entered, they greeted us warmly and were very kind when taking our order, which was great! The drinks were beautifully presented and adorable~ We went in the afternoon, so there were no desserts available, which was a bit disappointingㅠㅠ Next time, I'll go earlier to try the desserts! The cafe isn't very big, but there were seats available, and it seems quite popular. Many busy places can be unfriendly, but everyone at Uhuyon was very kind, which made us feel good. I definitely want to come back for the desserts next time :-) ⏱️Business Hours 10:00 AM - 9:00 PM Closed on Thursdays 📍Cafe Uhuyon 258 Suanbo-ro, Suanbo-myeon, Chungju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent All seasons are beautiful, but especially the autumn foliage at Jaeogae Campground is the best!🍂🍁🇰🇷 My 4th auto camping trip was to Jaeogae Campground in Chungju✨ I visited this place for 2 nights and 3 days to celebrate my birthday, and I absolutely recommend it because I really like it! It's a relatively new campground, so the facilities are neat and clean. The bathrooms and showers are the cleanest I've ever used, so I felt comfortable using them. All sites have a mountain view, so any site would be good, but I personally like Site E because it has a view that makes it hard to see other tents! And because the view is so good, the sunrise and fog are famous:) It's a campground full of maple trees, but I think it would be nice to come in other seasons too. ✔️Check-in 14:00 / Check-out 11:00 (early, late available) ✔️Parking available right next to the tent, gravel ✔️Manner time 22:00-08:00 #domestic #domestic travel #places to visit in Korea #camping ground #camping ground recommendation #domestic camping ground #chungju #chungju travel #korea #camping
