#SpringTravel When I visited Gurye Sansuyu Village in spring, it was an unforgettable experience of beauty and charm. I was delighted to see the Sansuio flowers (spring almonds) that thrive in this picturesque area. When I entered the village, I was amazed by the wonderful sea of ​​colors that covered the landscape surrounding me. The trees and meadows were filled with bright yellow Sansuyo flowers, and they created a magnificent picture. The fragrant scent of the flowers filled the air and added romance to the atmosphere. I also decided to visit a local Sansuyu farm to enjoy more of the natural beauty and interact with the local people. I learned how to harvest Sansuyo and someone explained their health benefits. They also presented traditional handicrafts such as stamping flowers on canvas and making handmade ornaments. Visiting Gurye Sansuyu Village was an amazing and inspiring experience. I enjoyed the natural beauty and the magic of flowers in spring. I learned about the culture of the area and interacted with the friendly locals. It is one of those moments that will remain in my memory forever and will carry with it beauty and happiness.

#SpringTravel Visiting Jersey Chaseland in Spring When I arrived at Jerry Mountain Cheeseland, I was captivated by the beauty of the view that opened before me. The area is surrounded by green mountains and beautiful valleys, creating a calm and refreshing atmosphere. The cow farm in Cheeseland is a great tourist attraction where cows are raised and delicious cheese is produced. I toured the farm where I learned about the process of making cheese and its development. It was a creative experience where I learned how to make cheese and the experiences related to it. I also tasted various types of cheese produced at the farm, all of which were delicious and special. After that, I traveled around the area around Jerry Mountain Cheeseland and enjoyed the breathtaking view of the Jersey Mountains and beautiful greenery. I walked through nature and breathed in the fresh and fresh spring air. It was a fun and relaxing experience that renewed my energy and spirit. Visiting Jersey Mountain Cheeseland in spring is an unforgettable experience. The beauty of the scenery, the calm atmosphere, and the delicious cheese make the trip worth all the effort. If you love nature and adventure and are looking for a unique and distinctive destination to visit in Korea, we recommend visiting Jeresan Cheese Land in spring.

#SpringTravel 🌼 Do you know that Cornelian cherry is the prettiest right now? Let's save the Gurye Cornelian Cherry Festival, which is at its peak this week, and go by course. Gurye's Cornelian Cherry Village is a beautiful place where the entire village is covered with cornelian cherry! It's bigger than you think, so if you want to see everything slowly, you should set aside at least 2 hours. ㅎㅎ This week is the peak, but since the festival started early, it will be even prettier for about 2 weeks after the festival ends!! 🌼 Save it for now and use it as a reference for your spring travel. 0 Cornelian Cherry Festival 45, Sanggwan 1-gil, Sandong-myeon, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do Festival period: 24.03.09-03.17 🌼 Check the spots by course! Bangok Village -> Sangwi Village -> Hawi Village One-way traffic on weekends!! After 4 PM, the sun sets behind the mountain, so there's no light! The light is pretty from 8 AM, so I recommend you go early 🌼 ※ The main spot is at the end of the left deck road below the parking lot of the Gilson Restaurant in Bangok Village Be careful because it is dangerous in the valley where the water flows 🌼

A representative spring flower festival in Korea where you can feel the spirit of spring🌼 Gurye Sansuyu Flower Festival, which you can meet in two weeks, is held again this year ✅The festival period is from 2024.03.09 to 2024.03.17, so check and visit Take a picture with a flower frame>< Gurye Bangok Village 📍130-2 Daepyeong-ri, Sandong-myeon, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do #Domestic travel #Couples #Gurye travel #Sansuyu festival

I decided to travel to Gurye even more because of the accommodation! This is the Seomjin River View #Supullim Pension 🌿 I ate Jirisan black pork on a stone plate barbecue 🐷 and even had a fire with firewood, so it was a sentimental accommodation💛 We sat around and chatted about Osundo and had a great time Breakfast is available for pre-order the day before, and for those who have ordered, it is provided free of charge the next day. Breakfast is ochazuke!🥢 📍Gurye Supullim Pension 2nd house ✔️ Real-time reservation status can be checked through the blog ✔️ BBQ cost separate 20,000 (19:00-19:30 selection) ✔️ Dogs allowed 🐶🐾 ✔️ Check-in 15:00 / Check-out 11:00 (self-check-in) ✔️ Netflix in the room 📺 🧺 #Shopping at Gurye 5-day market + buying body pants ✨ #Gurye travel #Small city travel #Emotional accommodation

A representative tourist destination that cannot be missed on the Gurye travel course, and where you can enjoy the charm of a very pretty healing hanok, Ssangsanjae! It is famous as a lodging, but it is a place where you can enjoy all this space as if taking a walk while having a light cup of tea, so it is a place I would like to recommend even more💚 Since one drink is considered an admission fee, you can order one and drink it anywhere in the old house, but isn't sitting on the veranda where the wind blows on a sunny day the best healing? There is also a walking path leading to the reservoir, and for safety reasons, middle school students and older are allowed to enter. A place worth visiting at least once! · · 📍Gurye Ssangsanjae 🧭3-2 Jangsu-gil, Masan-myeon, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do Ssangsanjae ⏰️11:00-16:30 ℹ️Admission 10,000 won per person (including 1 free drink) #Hanok#Gurye travel#Ssangsanjae

Address: 303 Saseongam-gil, Muncheok-myeon, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do I visited Saseongam, a famous cultural asset in Gurye. It is a place with outstanding scenery of tiles buried in a cliff. My personal point of rest is breathing in the temple air on holidays, and I think the scenery of Saseongam will remain in my memory for a long time. It was such a beautiful place in every direction. I would definitely recommend it to those who like taking pictures, those who like temples, and those who like mountains! #temple #mountain #hiking #Gurye #places to visit in Gurye

Jirisan Namwon Gurye tour with TLC Tour CEO Park... Gurye Jirisan Cheese Land, where daffodils are abundant... Yellow and white daffodils are in full bloom in the seaside hill garden... If you like daffodils, I recommend Gurye Jirisan Cheese Land. #HotPlace #DaffodilFestival

Do you want a flower viewing spot with no people even on weekends? Then right here💛 #Hyeoncheon Village This weekend is the last for the Gurye Sansuyu Festival along with the Gwangyang Plum Blossom Festival - I diligently went to Gwangyang Sansuyu Village in the morning and then went to Gurye in the afternoon, but the traffic was extremely congested from the entrance to the Sansuyu Festival site🥲 I heard it would take 2 hours to get to the festival site, so I had no choice but to go to Hyeoncheon Village, which I had found out about in advance, and this was a really hidden Sansuyu restaurant💛 Compared to other Gurye Sansuyu Villages, it is not well known yet, so there were really few people, and the village itself was very peaceful and had a cute atmosphere, so it was really nice✨ After being pushed around by people in Gwangyang in the morning, I went to a place like this where there were no people, and it felt completely healing☺️ In particular, the Sansuyu landscape reflected in the Hyeoncheon Festival in the center of the village was really pretty✨ If you want to go to a quiet and secluded village with no people on the weekend to enjoy the flowers, I recommend Gurye Sansuyu Village💛 📍Hyeoncheon Village, Gurye ✔️ Jeollanam-do Gurye-gun Sandong-myeon Hyeoncheon 2-gil 24 ✔️ Parking | Hyeoncheon Village Hall (I parked at the entrance and went up because the parking attendant in front said there was no space upstairs, but it was only a 10-minute walk!) ✔️ It seems like the cornelian cherry trees are starting to fall, so it's essential to check the blooming status before visiting🌟 #Gurye Cornelian Cherry Festival #Gurye #Gurye Travel #Gurye Cornelian Cherry Village #Gurye Cornelian Cherry #Tourist Attraction Review #Flower Viewing #Spring Flowers #Cornelian Cherry

📍Gurye Sansuyu Village ▪️Gurye Sansuyu Village is famous for its beautiful yellow waves of spring flowers. ▪️It is one of the most famous places for spring flowers in the country, so if you go on the weekend, the roads will be jammed, so I recommend visiting early. ▪️The upper and lower villages are divided along the mountain, and both are beautiful, so I recommend visiting them together. ▪️The nearby Hwaeomsa Temple is also beautiful with spring flowers, so please visit them together. ㅎㅎ #SpringFlowers

It's the most famous bakery in Gurye, so even when it's open, there's a line. Since I first went there, I fell in love with the healthy and delicious taste of the bread, so I always stop by when I'm in the area. When I went last month, it was Christmas and there was also stollen. I highly recommend it to those who like rich and light bread! In particular, I think cheese lovers will really like the walnut cheese cream bread. If you buy it and eat it right away, I recommend cutting it, or you can wrap it and freeze it, and it's fine. They also run a cafe, but it's been expanded to include an outdoor space, so it's much bigger. It's not far from Hadong and Gokseong, so it's a good place to stop by when traveling nearby.🍞 · · 📍Mokwol Bakery in Gurye 🧭Mokwol Bakery, 85 Seosicheon-ro, Gurye-eup, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do ⏰️11:00-19:00 (Delivery is also available)

#Cheon Eun Sa #Gurye Travel #Mr. Sunshine 📍Cheon Eun Sa I visited Cheon Eun Sa, which is also famous as the filming location for Mr. Sunshine. It was nice to see the bridge after the construction of Suhongru was completed. It was a pity that the water underneath had dried up a bit! Next time, I plan to visit during the fall foliage season.

I've always wanted to go, but Suhongru was under construction for a while, so I regrettably turned away in February. As if making up for it, Suhongru in November was so beautiful, with the feeling of late autumn. The temple itself, Cheoneunsa, was beautiful in every corner, but Suhongru, which is famous as a filming location for the drama Mr. Sunshine, was the best. If you're planning a trip to Gurye, I recommend you stop by🧡 · · 📍Gurye Cheoneunsa Suhongru ✅️You can just stop by Suhongru. You can see it right away if you walk a little from the entrance! Cross to the other side and take a picture #foreignsensibility#Guryetravel#Cheoneunsa

#SummerIwaSummer 🔸Yongjidong Valley ✔️Location: Ganjeon-myeon, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do If you are planning a trip to Jeollanam-do or Gurye, Yongjidong Valley is a must-visit summer water play spot.

Jirisan Nogodan, which can be climbed in about an hour from Seongsamjae Rest Stop You have to be careful on the dark mountain path, so it is better to set aside plenty of time for sunrise hiking and rest at Nogodan Rest Stop before climbing. Especially in winter, the path is slippery, so you should set aside an hour and a half. It was very cold and difficult, but the sunrise at Nogodan was a moving sight that was worth it. It is not a difficult course, so I recommend climbing it at least once, even if you are not climbing at sunrise! #Hiking #Jirisan #Hiking #GuryeTravel
