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 🥰
