The place I traveled is Gwanghalluwon in Namwon, Jeollabuk-do. Gwanghalluwon is a representative garden in Korea that symbolizes the celestial bodies. There are many places in Gwanghalluwon that became the background of various legends. First, the Ojakgyo is that's. Ojakgyo is a bridge that became the background of sad love where Gyun-woo and Jing-nyuh (the Altair and the Vega) meet on July 7 every year. Second, there is a building where two main characters tied a knot in the old novel, Chunhyangjeon. Gwanghalluwon is a good place to take a walk in the morning, but it is also beautiful to see Gwanghallu with lights on at night.(It is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. from November to March, and the opening hours are the same from April to October, but it is open until 9 p.m.) When I walked through Gwanghalluwon, I felt like I was the main character of an old novel. Also, I was able to relax in nature for a while away from my hard routine. For this reason, I highly recommend going here. Why don't you go into the space...
Read moreI’d like to introduce this place based on my experience of going to Gwanghalluwon. It is located in Namwon, in Jeollabukdo. It is famous as a place where Lee Do-ryeong and chun-hyang met and fell in love during Joseon Dynasty. So every year from May 4th to May 8th , there is a small musical called Chun-hyang Jeon and I found it fun and touching. Tickets for Gwanghalluwon are very cheap. Tickets for adult are 3.000won, It is 2,000won for teenagers and 1,500won for children You can experience various things here. First of all, there are many reservoirs, and there are so many big carp living here. You can feed the carp here. It’s impressive that everytime you feed the carp, everyone is flocking to feed. Second, you can see a small musical called chunhyang-jeon here. This chunhyang-jeon is very interesting because of the love story of two people during the joseon Dynasty. I strongly recommend a visit to...
Read moreA delightful garden park depicting ancient times and the tale of 2 lovers (Korean Romeo n Juliet). Park is well maintained with many hanook style architectures - homes, ponds, pavilions, halls, bridges, etc. Some of the exhibits also have figurines in traditional costumes denoting life in the past. Quite a large park n the ambience here is peaceful n quiet- great for the family! Expect to spend about 2 hours plus to sight see the entire area. There are some translations (English) available but not for all exhibits. Brochures etc are in Hangul. The pavilion architecture is especially worth a closer look if one is into intricate woodwork n carving. The surrounding trees (willows etc) and other flowers lend a peaceful air to this park! Entrance fees are charged but it’s a reasonable price to pay for a nice stroll in...
