Cheongju: Discover the Charm of a Local Korean City!

Not Seoul or Busan! Explore the local city of Cheongju 🇰🇷 With direct flights from Kansai Airport at an affordable price, I decided to travel to the unknown city of Cheongju ✈️ It's not too urban, not too rural, and not too crowded ✨ It was an easy and charming city to explore 😍 1. Suamgol Observatory I took this photo during the magic hour from the observatory in the cute area of Suamgol, which is full of murals 📸 2. Sangdangsanseong Fortress About a 30-minute bus ride from the city center, there's a perfect hiking spot! Climbing the mountain path was a bit tough, but the view was amazing 💕 3. Suamgol Mural Village Full of adorable murals! This place is often used as a filming location for dramas, and there were guides about the dramas shot here ☺️ 4. Seongan Street The busiest street in Cheongju. It's like a compact version of Myeongdong? There are many famous Korean shops that you can also find in Myeongdong ✨ It was bustling with people on Sunday 😊 I did a lot of shopping around here 🛍️ 5. Cheongju Bridge A large bridge in the city. I took a photo because the flowers were beautiful 📸 Compared to Seoul or Busan, it's a smaller city, but it has many attractions packed into a compact area, making my trip to Cheongju very satisfying 🥰
