Located next to the roundabout in front of Gongsanseong Fortress in Geumsong-dong, Gongju. The Muryangwang Tomb Gate is said to be the path leading to the tomb of King Muryang. It is a place that countless cars pass by, and a must-see for travelers visiting Gongju. The statue of King Muryang and Gongsanseong Fortress seen through the gate look even more beautiful. 📍Baekje Muryangwang Tomb Gate ▫️Location: 221, Geumsong-dong, Gongju, Chungcheongnam-do

A charming accommodation with a large swimming pool right in front of the rooms, allowing you to enjoy swimming anytime while gazing at the water. Villa de Woo, one of the charming accommodations created by Stay Interview in various regions of Korea, is located in Gongju. The unique feature of this villa is that you can access the swimming pool directly from all rooms, making it easy to enjoy the view of the pool. Thanks to this, we were able to spend a leisurely time looking out from the terrace all day long. - Villa de Woo 🚩 109-19, Yongbongipdong-ro, Useong-myeon, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do

#Emotional Cafe People around me told me not to go see the Shasta daisy season, but I didn't see as many daisies as I thought this year, and I was really missing the daisies in Soopneul, so I made up my mind and went to see them today. The daisies in Soopneul started blooming a little later than other places, so the white beds in the Shasta daisies that were just starting to bloom were so pretty that I screamed in reality as soon as I arrived. The photo zone that was newly prepared this year was so pretty, and the Shasta daisies that were in full bloom around the outdoor tables were really pretty, so I felt like I had a great time today. When I visited during the Christmas season the year before last, I thought I had to come with May when the daisies bloomed, and I was so happy to be able to spend such a pretty moment with May, and I was also so happy to meet Noul, a border collie who became a new member of Soopneul this year. Now everyone is probably going to go see hydrangeas, but if you are a Shasta daisy lover like me and can't let Shasta daisies go, come see the daisies at Soopneoul this week🤍 By the way, Soopneoul's Instagram still says the opening hours are 11am, but since last week, the opening hours have changed to 10am, so please take note☺️ 🌿Cafe Soopneoul (@soup.neoul_) 📍413 Mungeum-gil, Yugu-eup, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do 🕰️10:00-20:00 (Closed on Mondays) 🚘Parking space O 🐶Pets allowed

There's a cozy, emotional cafe in Gongju! 💚 It's a perfect place where you can enjoy not only chatting in a cozy atmosphere, but also board games and personal study. ✨ This is a cafe called White Desk. It's a 1-2 story cafe, so it feels spacious and open, and each space has a different interior design, so you won't get tired of it no matter how many times you go. 🥹 📍White Desk - 1st floor, 68-23 Beonyeong 2-ro, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do #Emotional Cafe

#fallingseason Unlike a lot of other chrysanthemum festivals in Korea, these ones are all naturally planted and aren't arranged in some artificial way. It feels peaceful with the naturally planted white flowers all around the side of the mountain. Yeongpyeongsa Temple is a branch of Magoksa Temple and has six traditional buildings and three hermitages. It is considered to have good feng shui because its location is similar to that of a dragon. There is also a temple stay program for Yeongpyeongsa. If you can, I suggest going there sooner rather than later.

#fallingseason It is a place where all kinds of trees celebrate autumn with their own colors, including Metasequoia, which is too tall to measure. Isn't the mountain on fire because Metasequoia has late autumn leaves? If you want to see a suspicious red color, I recommend visiting between mid-November and the end of November, near winter. However, this is also different from year to year, so I can't guarantee the specific timing. If you delay too much, other trees may be wiped out, and if you want a clear view, the weather needs to be nice...! All these conditions can be decided in a few days, so you have to be a little lucky. If it's hard to set a date, you'll be satisfied if you just visit within November.

#fallingseason Buljanggol Reservoir is a popular place this time of year because of its colors. There is also a cafe, 카페 엔학고레, at the reservoir. The reservoir was built in 1975 to supply water for agricultural purposes. I wanted to come here on a foggy morning, but things didn't quite work out this year. The small road leading up to the reservoir is quite busy and difficult to navigate, but it was worth it. What a beautiful hidden gem. For locations of Buljanggol Reservoir is San 21-6, Songgok-ri, Banpo-myeon, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do.

#Cafe with a good view I came back after a long time to get a coffee interview stamp! On the way to see the gujeolcho with Arirang Yunjeong, I saw a ginkgo tree in the distance and stopped in a hurry. It was Stay Interview Villa de U. The main area is used as a stay, but the cafe is also open to non-staying customers, so I came back to get a coffee interview stamp while feeling the fall season. Coffee Interview has a signature menu for each branch, and as expected of a night princess, there was a night latte, and the outdoor view was so pretty with the reservoir view and the autumn leaves. The ginkgo tree in the background of the main photo zone will probably be pretty until the end of this week or early next week, so if you're looking for a cafe in Gongju with fall foliage, I recommend Stay Interview Villa De Woo🍂 🌰Stay Interview Villa De Woo (@stayinterview_villa_de_woo) 📍109-19 Yongbong-ipdong-ro, Woosung-myeon, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do 🕰️Inquire about business hours through the account 🚘Parking space available #GongjuTravel #GongjuCafe #StayInterviewVillaDeWoo #PlacesToVisitInGongju

In early autumn, the aura of the mountain scenery of Donghaksa Temple on Mt. Gyeryong is amazing because of the new green leaves. The rocks that are so precious that humans cannot even describe them are covering the mountain.... I took a picture of the Sungmojeon Hall of Donghaksa Temple and climbed up to the front of Daeungjeon Hall. As expected of a temple where nuns pray diligently, flowers and nature are in harmony, creating an oriental painting. Yellow and pink dahlias are blooming beautifully, and lotuses are blooming side by side on large stone basins... Gyeryongsan Mountain is filled with huge fields of flowers, flowers, flowers... There is a reason why beauty is naturally called out. #DaejeonTravel #Donghaksa #DonghaksaValley

Gongsanseong, a World Cultural Heritage site located in Gongju, was a sturdy mountain fortress that protected Gongju during the Baekje period! Currently, it has become a walking trail for Gongju citizens and a holy place for tourists. 😄 I visited last weekend, and these days, Gongsanseong is all green, so it was a perfect time to visit💚 It is a mountain fortress of moderate size, so it is good for a quick look around, so I recommend it as a travel destination near Seoul for the weekend. 📍Gongsanseong - 53-51 Geumseong-dong, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do 🏷️Admission fee - Adults ₩3,000 - Youths, military ₩2,000 - Children ₩1,000 #SeoulSuburbs #WeekendTravel

#Cafe with a good view I happened to see a photo of local coffee from last fall on my feed, so I waited for the local coffee to turn yellow and finally went. As soon as it turned yellow, it suddenly got cold and fell a little, and it seemed like they pruned it, so it was a little less abundant than last year, but it was so pretty and pretty even with that. I really like crème brulee, so I was really looking forward to eating the chestnut crème brulee, which is the signature menu of local coffee, and it was so delicious beyond my expectations..!🌰🤎 If you are going to visit local coffee, come twice or three times!!! The local coffee and Gongju's fall will be so pretty until this weekend, so go to Gongju this weekend🌰🍂💛 🌰Local Coffee 📍55-7 Yongdang-gil, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do 🕰️12:00-21:00 #Gongju travel #Gongju cafe #Local coffee

The finale of the Gongju Tour is the Gongsanseong Fortress Tour. You can take the mini train or walk around and see everything in 30 minutes. And I fell in love with the flavor of the world's best snack, the chestnut bread. 6 pieces cost 12,000 won, which is not cheap, but it was worth the money. I highly recommend you try the chestnut bread on the Gongsanseong Fortress Tour. #GongjuTravel #Gongsanseong #GongsanseongNightView #HotPlace

#TravelMoon After lunch, I had some time left and while searching, I stumbled upon Lucia's Garden, a hidden emotional and black tea restaurant in an alley. They prepare scones with various black teas, and it was really great to eat them while looking at the garden that was carefully tended up in the attic. Each space is a emotional restaurant, and the various black tea sets were really pretty. I visited in the fall, but it was a place that made me curious in all four seasons. ☕️Lucia's Garden 📍145-8 Woongjin-ro, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do 🕰️12:00-19:00 (Closed on Tuesdays)

Arriving at the cafe, I was immediately drawn to the beautiful tree outside. Then, as I explored the cozy atmosphere, and indulged in the delicious brunch, I couldn't help but exclaim in delight at the perfection of it all. Our table was bathed in sunlight and situated right next to the tree, making me feel like I was dining in Europe during Christmas. 💖 It was so wonderful that I couldn't stop talking about it all day. Truly, it was an amazing place! If you're planning a trip to Gongju this week, be sure to stop by. 🎄Le Puy-en-Velay and Strangs 📍12 Daetong 1-gil, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do 🕰️10:00-22:00 (Closed on Sundays and Mondays)

Hidden in the forest is a small Christmas garden, Princess Cafe Soopneoul. I was worried if it would still be pretty during the day just by looking at the night photos, but such worries were in vain. Even on a cloudy day, it was a beautiful space. I was concerned about the heavy rain until the morning, but thanks to the owner's hard work in tidying up before opening time, I was able to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere 🎄💖. I rented this beautiful space alone on a weekday open attack, but it was too cold to stay for a long time, which was a shame. It's a beautiful space in all four seasons, and I want to come back again in the next season ☺️. I had a really leisurely time visiting on a weekday open attack, but I heard that there are many visitors who come to see the lit tree on weekend evenings. You also have to take photos in the photo zone within 2 to 5 minutes, so it would be nice to visit during the day when you have more time! The Christmas tree is so beautiful at night and during the day 🥰. 🎄Soopneoul Forest 📍413 Mungum-gil, Yugoo-eup, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do 🕰️11:00-19:00 🐶Pets allowed.

I wondered if there was a café like this in the world, but it turned out to be the one Sohyun recommended... 😳 The sound of the real firewood burning in the traditional fireplace, not a model, and the sudden cold weather made my body and mind feel sluggish. As I climbed up to the attic, I saw the firewood burning and the trees outside, and sipped on a warm bancha tea that the owner brewed himself, feeling cozy and happy. On the way home, I felt reluctant to leave and sat in front of the fireplace again. The owner noticed and added more firewood to keep me warm, making me feel sluggish once again. It was a warm winter moment for my sister at Mrs. Berry Café, as Sohyun had said. 🎄Mrs. Berry 📍84-5, Byeonyeong 1-ro, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do, Korea 🕰️12:00-22:00 (last 21:30) 🚘Parking space next to the building 🐶Only accessible with bags and strollers.

#Cafe with a good view Enhakgore, a sentimental cafe that I've always wanted to visit I went there this time with a friend's chance It was truly the prettiest cafe ever.. I can count it on one hand in my life. The Yunseul seen from the reservoir was so pretty, and the water was green, so it looked like an emerald sea. There are a lot of outdoor seats, so you won't have to worry about not having a seat. The staff were friendly, the bathroom was clean, and the cafe was well managed. A cafe with no reason not to go It's crowded on the weekends, so I recommend visiting on a weekday. There are parking lots here and there, so you don't have to worry about parking. ➰ Gongju Enhakgore ➰ 11:00 ~ 19:00 ➰ 113-12 Buljanggol-gil, Banpo-myeon, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do Enhakgore #Enhakgore #Gongjucafe

This place has a car driving track, slide, and indoor trampoline with a pool of balls. A place where your kids will really enjoy, running, driving, jumping, climbing, etc. Must try and visit with kids

This place is totally solemn and mesmerizing. I visited this place many times, and now with friends enjoying the solemnity. This mountain symbolizes how Christian people fought for their faith. Up in the mountain, you can do station of the cross and offer a prayer in the prayer room. During the weekend, this place kinda bustling that there are lots of people from other places coming for pilgrimage.
