A Thousand-Year Forest filled with a variety of beautiful flowers that you can admire all at once! No wonder photography lovers can't resist visiting this place. Plus, there's an incredibly vast lotus field that will soon start blooming—imagine how much more stunning it will be 💛. How about a healing autumn outing at this fragrant destination 💛? 📍Hamyang Sangnim Park 1073-1, Gyosan-ri, Hamyang-eup, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam

#NewYearGoodDestinations South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea｜South Korea Xianyang Xunzhen Cave Longqiu Waterfall The waterfall is quite spectacular ~ suitable for a family outing to relax! You won’t walk too much. Most people just go there to play in the water in the summer, see the maple leaves in the fall, and see the snow in the winter. It just so happens that I came here in the summer! So the whole green is very comfortable:) #Korea #KoreaTravel #Gyeongsangnam-do #Waterfall #Nature #Travel #familytravel

#Let's go on a trip #Jirisan #Hamyang trip #Duck meat #Gourmet tour 📍Cheonggungsanjang Restaurant Is this view really real? Went to a duck meat restaurant and healed and came back..... Of course the meat was delicious, but the clean valley water view beyond the terrace was fantastic.. The fried rice was almost like bibimbap and the owner was very kind :) Gourmet restaurant!! The best!

This is Sangrim Park located in Gyeongsangnam-do. The colorful flowers spread across the wide field were beautiful. Parking was convenient and easy to access. #FlowerViewing

🐋Address: 71 Yongchu Resort Road, Anui-myeon, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Restroom 🐋I visited Hamyang Yongchu Valley, a valley that is great for playing around! 🐋I had fun playing in the water, which is not too low for adults! 🐋There are no separate shower rooms due to the nature of the valley, but there is a restroom at the entrance, so I was able to change my clothes comfortably!! 🐋How delicious is ramen after playing in the water in a cool way?! #valley #valleywaterplay #Hamyang #Hamyangtravel #Hamyanghotplace #Hamyangplacestovisit

#FlowerViewing Sangrim Park is filled with a variety of flowers, including purple verbena, yellow cosmos, and zinnias. After enjoying the Hamyang Wild Ginseng Festival, I recommend taking some photos of your life in the expansive flower fields. When the azaleas bloom in Sangrim Park, the red flower paths become a beautiful sight! 😘 #HamyangSangrimPark #HamyangWildGinsengFestival

📍#Hamyang #Daebongsan Resort Valley #Daebongsan Camping Land E12, 13 ✔️ Reservations: Interpark > Resort Valley Search 💸 1 night 16,000 won (Does that make sense?❤️‍🔥) 💚 Site size is wide (5M x 8M) 🛁 Restroom, shower room, sink very clean 🍟 Store O (They sell food like a restaurant) 🎠 Playground good Kids love playing! 🎢 Monorail, zipline - Korea's first mountain tourism monorail (longest length), Korea's longest, highest zipline Why is it so hard to find a campsite these days! I found the cleanest and best campsite ever after going around and around 🤭 I was half-doubting because there was so little information, but I thought I had to post about it here because the site size, facilities, and view were all-time great! The playground is also very well-made, so it's great to go with kids, and Daebong Skyland has a zipline and monorail, so it's a great place to go with friends. I regret not being able to ride the zipline because of a hangover, so I'll definitely visit again. Definitely!!! 🤩 This is a large camping land with no people, so it's a charter camp...♡ It's ridiculous, really! #camping #campground #hot place #campground recommendation #Hamyang travel

A place where you can see all kinds of flowers! I went to Sangrim Park yesterday🍃 This is the first time I've seen so many and various flowers since I was born😮 I didn't know it was this big, so I went late and couldn't see everything, so I regret it ㅠㅠ (Thanks to that, there weren't many people) Since it's the Hamyang Ginseng Expo, there are many experience booths and different stages depending on the date, so I think it would be good to go with that in mind!🌻 🏷 Admission fee during the Expo: 10,000 won for adults 🏷 Since the flower field is long, I recommend taking the shuttle bus when you come back after walking! ________________________ 📍Sangrim Park, Unrim-ri, Hamyang-eup, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam 📸 Canon EOS M50 #SummerCapture#SafeTravel

Gaepyeong Hanok Village I actually thought to myself, "Is this the right place?" while going there..ㅎ I was sad to go home, but I had nowhere else to go, so I went there!! But❗️ I was amazed as soon as I got out of the car😮 I visited Jeonju Hanok Village a while ago, but it has a completely different atmosphere👍🏻 If you want to feel the atmosphere of a tourist destination, I recommend Jeonju Hanok Village☺️ Delicious food, pretty cafes, and Hanbok rentals! However, if you like quietness(?) that suits Hanoks, I recommend Gaepyeong Hanok Village👏🏻 I hardly saw any cafes or restaurants👀 It's a small and quiet village🤫 I like quietness, so I liked Gaepyeong Hanok Village better🤎 The healing atmosphere while walking around the village! I also ended up speaking quietly🙊 Address🏠 Gaepyeong Hanok Village Parking🚗 Free parking lot -Search for ‘Jin-gonggan’! There’s a parking lot right above it:) ⚠️I recommend going on Friday, Saturday, Sunday + public holidays at lunchtime! The biggest cafe in the village is open at this time🕰 We went at 6pm on Sunday, so we couldn’t go to the cafe, and we couldn’t see much of the inside of the drama filming location😢 We asked for the village manager(?)’s understanding and took a quick look😂 #Hamyang travel #Hamyang hot place #Small city travel #Hanok scenery #Travel So

Do you all like wine? When I was young, I thought that I would become an adult who drinks a glass of wine every day!!ㅎ But I found out that I was stupid,,, and I couldn't even drink half a glass of wine😅 There is Hamyang Wine Valley in Hamyang! In the wine valley, there is not only a wine foot bath, but also a soap experience!! The wine shop sells wines of various price ranges👀 How about enjoying a glass of wine?

At Hamyang Daebong Sky Valley, there is a mountain monorail that goes up to the peak of Daebongsan, Cheonwangbong. You can also use the zipline that goes down from the peak. If you take the monorail to the peak, you can face the peak of Jirisan, Cheonwangbong, and you can also see the surrounding areas at a glance. There is a campsite and a forest walking path, so it's great for taking a break. #Recreation trip#With nature#Camping

Hamyang-gun Sangrim Park in Gyeongsangnam-do is the first artificial forest in Korea, created by Choi Chi-won, the great governor of the Silla Dynasty, when he was appointed governor. The lotus field that blooms every summer is also very famous. This year, the 2021 Hamyang Ginseng Hangno Hwa Expo was held, creating a flower field field and a thousand-year-old garden. Thanks to the beautiful Hamyang Sangrim and flower fields in all four seasons, it seems like it will become an even more wonderful travel destination~ #Recreational travel#With nature#Must-see historic site#In the flower field#Capturing summer

#MarchTravelEvent To feel revitalized in nature, I climbed Mt. Gibak. 🥾🌿 Lush forests and valleys stretched along the path leading up the mountain, allowing me to feel the refreshing air. The time spent walking slowly, listening to the sounds of nature, and admiring the mountain scenery was particularly memorable. Yongchu Waterfall, which I encountered while climbing toward the summit, was cool and beautiful, with its refreshing stream harmonizing with the surrounding landscape. I took a brief rest near the waterfall and fully enjoyed nature accompanied by the sound of the water. Climbing Mt. Gibak and visiting Yongchu Waterfall was a special experience that allowed me to recharge both my physical strength and my mind in nature. 🌳💦 March Travel Event To feel revitalized in nature, I climbed Mt.

#TravelItinerary You've gone all the way to Geochang, but it's a shame to only see the chrysanthemums at Gamaksan! While the asta chrysanthemums at Gamaksan are great on their own, I'll introduce you to some great autumn flower spots in Geochang that you should visit while you're at it! 1-4 Gamaksan Star Wind Hill 📍115-103 Yeonsusa-gil, Namsang-myeon, Geochang-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do This year, the Asta Chrysanthemum Festival begins in mid-September at Gamaksan Star Wind Hill, a place that truly embodies the phrase "purple paradise under the sky." The beautiful scenery, from early morning until sunset, draws crowds of visitors. In addition to asta chrysanthemums, a variety of autumn flowers are also planted, including gaura, silver grass, and chrysanthemums! 5-7 Galgye Forest 📍731-42 Songgye-ro, Buksang-myeon, Geochang-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do Many people only know Geochang as the asta chrysanthemums of Gamaksan Mountain in September, but around the same time the asta chrysanthemums bloom, the Geochang Galgye Forest is also filled with red aster flowers. I didn't expect much when I went, but it was surprisingly dense and beautiful. Since my visit, I've been highly recommending this place as a great aster flower spot. 8-10 Changpowon 📍21-1 Changpowon-gil, Namsang-myeon, Geochang-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do Geochang Changpowon, an ecological waterfront park, is a place where various flowers bloom throughout the year, and even in the fall! When I visited in 2020, cosmos were in bloom, but last year around this time, other flowers were in bloom, so I recommend checking the real-time information before you go. Even if you don't see the flowers, it's a great place for a quiet stroll and enjoying the natural scenery. Besides this, there's also Hamyang Sanglim Park, which is nearby but not in Geochang, making it a great place to visit together! Around the time when the aster flowers bloom on Gamaksan Mountain, Sanglim Park is also in full bloom with various flowers like cosmos and chrysanthemums, making it a great place to visit all at once! (If you're driving, this is a perfect day trip! Of course, I walked around Geochang and took a taxi to get there in one day... Taxis are the best.) A purple paradise under the sky that you'll soon see, how about a fall trip to Geochang in September?💜 #GeochangTravel #GeochangPlacesToVisit #GamaksanAsterChrysanthemum #GamaksanWindPowerFactory #AsterChrysanthemum #AsterChrysanthemumFestival #GalgyeForest #GalgyeForestFlowers #GeochangChangpoWon #GeochangTravelItinerary #FallTravel #EveryCourseOfKorea

#summervacay Took a chill day trip out to Yeongchusan in Hamyang, and it was such a peaceful little adventure. The trail isn’t super famous, which means barely any crowds, just birds, breeze, and your footsteps. Loved it. The hike starts off mellow through a forest that feels straight out of a fairytale. Super green, lots of shade, and totally quiet. As you go higher, it gets a bit steeper, but nothing too wild, just enough to get the heart going and make you feel like you earned your snack break. At the top, the views are surprisingly awesome. You get that wide-open look at all the surrounding hills, and the wind up there? So refreshing. I found a flat rock, stretched out, and just chilled with some kimbap and tea like a mountain bum. Honestly, Yeongchusan isn’t flashy, but that’s what makes it great. Perfect if you want nature without the stress. Peaceful, pretty, and totally underrated. Will definitely be back.

#summervacay If you’re ever near Jirisan and want something refreshing but not too hardcore, Chilseon Valley is the spot. I went there kind of just looking for a pretty walk, but it turned into this magical forest-waterfall adventure. The trail hugs the valley the whole way, so you get this constant soundtrack of rushing water. Super peaceful and kinda makes you forget about real life for a bit. There are little bridges, rocky paths, and secret spots to dip your feet in, perfect for a mid-hike chill. The waterfalls along the way? Beautiful. Not giant, but they’ve got that peaceful, tucked-away vibe. The air was super clean, and the mist from the water made everything feel cooler, even on a warm day. The trail isn’t crazy difficult, just a little up and down, but nothing too intense. I packed some kimbap, found a rock by the stream, and just zoned out for a while. Definitely one of my favorite chill nature escapes so far.
