#WinterTravel #YeongdeokTravel I think kids will really like it if they go here There are so many cute characters gathered in one place, and it seems like a place where you can play in the fountain in the summer! The robots are so cute In particular, it is a good place to take certification shots, so it is a good place for adults to stop by for a light walk There was a snow forecast, but it didn't snow, which was a shame, but it was still nice to see in the winter - - 📍Yeongdeok Haeparang Park 132 Yeongdeokdaegae-ro, Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongbuk

#WinterTravel #YeongdeokTravel This is a fairly large ocean view park, so it's a place you should definitely visit. It's close to Ganggu Port, so you can eat crab and take a walk. It's a place I recommend as a must-visit course for Yeongdeok travel. It's also a great place for kids to run around and play, so I think I'll visit a lot in spring! Even though it's winter, it's a great place to take pictures with pretty sculptures and watch the ocean. - - 📍Yeongdeok Haeparang Park 132 Yeongdeok Daege-ro, Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongbuk

#WinterTravel #YeongdeokTravel There are a few places you must visit when traveling to Yeongdeok, and this is one of them. It is a very large park, so there are many places to take a walk around every corner, and there are surprisingly many cute photo zones, so it is a good place to go with children. It was hard to stay for a long time because it was winter, but when spring comes soon, it is a great place to take a walk while looking at the sea, so I hope you go. - - 📍Yeongdeok Haeparang Park 132 Yeongdeokdaegae-ro, Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongbuk

Address: 153-1 Yeongdeokdaege-ro, Ganggu-myeon, Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do Business hours: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM I visited the grilled fish restaurant in Yeongdeok with a friend! The price was 13,000 KRW per person, making it easy to enjoy delicious grilled fish without breaking the bank. They served mackerel, flounder, and rockfish, and the crispy skin and moist flesh of the mackerel were particularly impressive. The kimchi stew was also really spicy and tasty, which helped balance out the greasiness of the fish. A variety of side dishes were provided, and refills were available. I definitely want to visit again on my next trip to Yeongdeok! 🌊
