Hot place near Jeonju 🛶 Unique cafe with a view where you can experience kayaking for free: Nonsan Cafe Beolgok
I came here right away because it was so pretty while watching Insta Reels!
100% self-funded cafe Beolgok :)
I ran there just because I saw that you can experience kayaking for free,
but the view from the window was crazy..💚
Cafe Beolgok is a large cafe with two floors!
You can even see kayaking from the sky with the view from the window :)
The parking lot is wide and spacious~
I ordered Americano, strawberry latte, and honey bread!
The drinks and honey bread were all delicious 😁

Sunshine Studio
#DomesticTravel
Visiting Sunshine Studio was an unforgettable experience. When I arrived, I was greeted with an atmosphere of passion and excitement. The place was filled with wonderful decorations and bright lights, which brought a charming atmosphere to the place. I had an interesting tour inside the studio, where I learned about the making of the film and the scenes of the series. I saw famous scene shooting locations and learned about lighting and photography techniques. I can't forget the moment when I stood on a realistic stage and felt like a star of the film. I also had the opportunity to take pictures and get a wonderful souvenir. It was a true experience for film and television fans. Thank you for visiting Sunshine Studio and adding magic and creativity to my trip.

Nonsan Sunshine Land is famous for being the filming location for the drama Mr. Sunshine.
It is still full of tourists who can't forget the main character's appearance, and it is fun to tour because the appearance is preserved as it is.
It would be even more fun to take pictures wearing Gyeongsang clothing.

If you love places with a view, Albano is a must-visit! The building’s modern, European-inspired design makes you feel like you're traveling abroad.

#celebrateit
I discovered Albano through Instagram and was drawn in by its unique, foreign-inspired design. Even though it was a long drive, I went alone to explore. I arrived right at opening, but by 11 AM, the place was packed—even on a weekday! The spicy pollack roe pasta was flavorful, balancing the creamy and spicy notes perfectly. The portions were huge—a bit too much for one person, but it was so good that I finished it all. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the area! 🍝👌

This is a cathedral located in Ganggyeong-eup, Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, and was built in 1961. It is a nationally registered cultural heritage.
Ganggyeong Port, famous for its salted seafood, was considered one of the three largest markets in the Joseon Dynasty and was a place where goods were transported due to its proximity to the Geumgang River.
As a result, Western culture and religion naturally came here, and missionaries actively engaged in missionary work.
Ganggyeong Cathedral, with its white walls and red roof, is also a great spot for taking pictures, so you can take pretty pictures and rest while looking at the beautiful architecture and nature regardless of religion. Be sure to stop by when you go to Ganggyeong!

Really love to travel and love new adventures Nonsan Lake Hill Hotel with a stunning view of Tapjeong Lake.

breathtaking view.
The weather was great, so just gazing out the window
from the room felt like a perfect way to relax.

A Nonsan cafe where you can comfortably enjoy the view of Tapjeong Lake.
It was truly the best river view ever.
The view from the first floor was beautiful, but when you go up to the second floor,
there's a panoramic window that directly overlooks the Tapjeong Lake Suspension Bridge!
You absolutely have to take a photo here.
The cafe is famous for its homemade bread,
and the bread we had for breakfast was all delicious.
