My N-th Spring in Korea, Healed by Cherry Blossoms ๐ŸŒธ

#cherryblossom25 Spring is just around the corner in Korea, and the cherry blossoms are about to make their beautiful arrival! If youโ€™re planning a spring trip, youโ€™ll want to head to the southern regions of Korea, as they typically get the blossoms a bit earlier than the north. Gyeongju, located in North Gyeongsang Province, experiences its cherry blossom season 7-10 days earlier than Seoul! Whatโ€™s even more enchanting about Gyeongjuโ€™s blossoms is that the entire city is surrounded by cherry trees, blending with the charm of this ancient city. Itโ€™s a scene straight out of a dream! ๐Ÿฐ๐ŸŒธ Here are some recommended places to enjoy the cherry blossoms in Gyeongju: Cheomseongdae Observatory (์ฒจ์„ฑ๋Œ€) A beautiful blend of history and nature, Cheomseongdae is one of Koreaโ€™s oldest astronomical observatories. During cherry blossom season, the surrounding area is draped in pink flowers, offering a unique photo opportunity with the ancient stone structure. The tranquil atmosphere here is perfect for those looking to enjoy a peaceful day surrounded by blooms. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒณ Hwangnyongwon (ํ™ฉ๋ฃก์›) This historical park is home to a scenic area where cherry trees bloom in full glory. Itโ€™s less crowded than some other spots, making it ideal for a relaxing walk under the blossoms, and youโ€™ll be able to enjoy the serene beauty of the surroundings. Itโ€™s a wonderful location to take a break and just enjoy nature. ๐ŸŒท Gyeongju World (๊ฒฝ์ฃผ์›”๋“œ) While Gyeongju World is known for its theme park rides, during cherry blossom season, the area transforms into a spectacle of colors. The contrast between the amusement park rides and the delicate cherry blossoms makes it an interesting, lively place to visit during spring. ๐ŸŽข๐ŸŒธ #naturalwonders

Good places to visit near Busan! Seoul and Busan getting bored? ๐Ÿค” Busan is 1๏ธโƒฃ hour away to explore a niche city with a different atmosphere! ๐Ÿ˜ There are usually 2 ways to get to Gyeongju: Take KTX๐Ÿš… from Busan Station to Shin Gyeongju Station or take the bus๐ŸšŒ from Laobu Station to Gyeongju city Because my hotel is closer to Busan Station so I chose KTX but note that Shin Gyeongju Station is a distance from the city๐Ÿ˜ณ need to take a bus or taxi out of the city Most of the attractions in Gyeongju are in the same area so a super convenient walk can already reach many attractions๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿปโ™€๏ธ Highly recommend Royal Group Road Coffee Shop! โ˜•๏ธ We chose Shimizudo ์ฒญ์ˆ˜๋‹น very good atmosphere very suitable for photography However, because it is Saturday so need to wait for a while to have a seat they only accept 3 groups of waiting so really depends on luck ๐Ÿ˜— (cake is very attractive super large 2 people may not eat all so did not order ๐Ÿ˜ญ Restaurants I tried 2: onmokdang ์˜จ๋ชฉ๋‹น Beef bone soup rice / knife noodles ๐Ÿœ The amount of meat is quite a lot ๐Ÿคฉ Want to eat a clean meal is good ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป ํ–ฅํ™”์ • Tohwajeong: A super satisfying meal Recommended seafood onion cake๐ŸฆHowever it is a little expensive Attractions Half Moon City Chicken Forest Zhanxingtai Teaching Village Dalingyuan are in the same area ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป East Palace Moon Pool will have to walk a distance Actually, Gyeongju is not too excellent for attractions but Gyeongju is a slow-paced place and definitely a good place for a leisure walk (however don't come in the summer like my land Gyeongju is hotter than Busan๐Ÿ˜ญ #KoreaTravel #KoreaGood Places #KoreaNear Country Tour #Gyeongju #GyeongjuTravel #Monuments #Cafe #RoyalDunRoad
