#summervacay Starting from Jeonju, taking the bus to Gwangju is super quick and convenient! Here are the highlights from your half-day tour: Mt. Mudeungsan 🚠 If you're planning to take the cable car, make sure to set your navigation to 'emart'. The location for the cable car is different from the hiking trails. A round-trip ticket for the cable car and the small train costs 19,000 KRW per person. Once you reach the bus stop at the foot of the mountain, it's more convenient to take a taxi up to the cable car station.

📍Travel Introduction: Spending two full days in Gwangju was relaxing and delightful. Even if you only have time for a 1-night, 2-day trip, it's worth visiting this city. Known as the sacred ground of democratization, it's hard to believe it has been labeled as a 'boring city.' I hope more foreigners come to explore it. 🚩Travel Route: On the first day, I arrived at Geumnam-ro and visited the May 18th Democratic Movement Archives and Jeonil Building. Even for those who aren't particularly interested in democratization, these places are worth seeing and experiencing. Then, I went to Dongmyeong-dong Café Street, enjoyed a café, had a meal, and visited an independent bookstore. On the second day, I had duck stew at Ori Street near Gwangju Station, then visited the May 18th National Cemetery and Mangwol-dong Cemetery for National and Democratic Martyrs. It's a 30-minute bus ride from downtown, but definitely worth the trip. I returned to Dongmyeong-dong for a tour of the Asia Culture Center, café street, meals, and another independent bookstore. On the third day, I explored the 1913 Market near Gwangju Songjeong Station in the morning before heading home. If the trip had coincided with the 3rd or 8th of the month, I would have visited the Five-Day Market as well. The exhibitions at the Asia Culture Center are all free, but I regret not having enough time to see them. 🏖️Landmarks: Everything related to the May 18th Movement 🚇Transportation: Since it's a city center, public transportation and taxis are convenient. 📷Photo Spots: Every shop in Dongmyeong-dong is picturesque and perfect for taking photos. 🍜Recommended Restaurants: There are many famous spots, including Yeongmyeong Gukbap, Yangdong Fried Chicken, Yeongmi Duck Stew, Mimiwon, and Park Soonja Nokdu House. 🏠Recommended Accommodations: While Airbnb and popular guesthouses are available, Seven Bricks Hotel near Gwangju Station is also a great choice. 💡Tips: Be prepared for how delicious the food is!

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The signature dish here is the salt croissant, which is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It has a rich taste, a bit of butter flavor but not greasy. It is one of the most delicious things I have eaten in Korea recently. Paired with a cup of hand-brewed coffee or rich latte, you'll want to stay there for the entire afternoon. The seating area retains the traditional structure of a Korean house and incorporates a modern design, making it a perfect spot to take photos and relax. Recommended reasons: ① Renovated from a traditional Korean house, with a quiet atmosphere and a sense of design ② The salted croissants are so good that they are sold out right after they are baked. ③ The store has excellent lighting, making it a very unique coffee shop choice in Gwangju 🔌 Useful Information Store name｜Ambrosia Address｜37-4 Yangnim-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju, South Korea Time｜10:00 - 20:00 #Gwangju Cafe #Hanok Style Cafe #Korean Salt Croissant Recommendation #Must-visit Food in Gwangju #Korea Travel Notes #Best Places to Go in April 2025
