-Sightseeing

<Eunpa lake>

 

 

 





It is the place where people living in Gunsan enjoy in their free time.People can walking,jogging or
running along the side of lake.Also,there are lots of amusing things such as inline skating course and
duck boats so children can play well in here.In fact,they are the genuine things that I want to introduce you about here.One is Mulbit bridege and the other is festival of cherry blossoms.
Mulbit bridge is the bridge  across the Eunpa lake and it has many lamps that have differnet colors.
Therefore,many people love this place because night scene is so beautiful as you can see in above pictures.Therefore,it is good to take pictures at night.
Cherry blossoms are also very famous.It is so fantastic when cherry blossoms are in full bloom along side lake as you can see above pictures.Therefore,lots of couple visit here and enjoy their date.

<Saemangeum>
 

Saemangeum is the sea wall that block sea water and alter sea into land so it is so long as you can see
in the picture.If you go to there,you can see blue,wide western sea and lots of islands.You can enjoy
cool wind and smell of the sea.Watching the sea,you can feel fresh,dynamic and extensiveness.
The road of Saemangeum is nice driving course because it is very long and there are seas each side of
road so people can enjoy driving.Also,there are lots of things to enjoy such as foods,auto camping site and festival.Foods are so variety and fresh because sea is just next to there.Therefore,you can
eat lots of sea foods,row fishes and sushies.Auto camping site is in ready but I think that it is useless because there are nothing to enjoy camping such as landscape.I don`t kow when people hold festivals
but it is definite that there are festivals.

Namisum

 

Until now,I only had posted about cities but today I will introduce about a island called Namisum.

 

There are lots of things to enjoy such as foods and sightseeing...

 

 

-Sightseeing

 

     

 

<Unchi garden>

 

   

 

 

 

Nami Island has founded a special creative playground for children composed of safe and joyful rides right next to the Unicef Hall. The name of this playground is Un-chi(Unicef+Child) Park,which is a compound word of Unicef and Child, and also means ‘A place where children gathering as cloud’,

 

derived from the meaning of its Chinese character. Having a slides park, bicycle rental shop, electronic bicycles, sky bicycles, and electronic mini cars, this playground attracts many young guests to enjoy their freedom of play.

 

 

<Sky bike>

 

   

 

 

 

It is 6 meters tall from the ground so people can feel like in the sky and you people enjoy beautiful landscape more easily because people can look down all of the island.However,there is little problem that according to experienced,some people caln be scary.

<Metasequoia lane>

 

 

Metasequoia lane is called as living fossils.Trees were transplanted on the Namisum  from the  Seoul National University.It is growing very fast and it has exotic,elegant and grand aspect.Also it was the film site of famous television drama named 'Winter Sonata'.Therefore,there are many tourists at here

and Metasequoia Lane has turned out to be the most popular, and also the symbolic site on Nami Island.

 

<Lots of ponds on Namisum>

 

 

 

   

There used to be only one pond on Nami Island, in front of the Tomb of General Nami. In 2001, it was named YonJi Pond, the gift to lovers, and there was another GonJi Pond made in front of Cho-ok House for our insect community to enjoy. Afterwards, several ponds were also made in every corner of the Island.

 

 

Buyeo

-Sightseeing

<Gungnamji pond>

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the most oldest artificial pond in Korea and there are Poryongjeong in the center of the pond.

It is connected by wooden bridge. It was constructed by digging a well 8km south of Sabi Castle and drawing fresh running water to it through a pipeline from a river flowing 8km away. This pond was designed according to the theories of geomancy to prevent the spiritual energy from Mt. Geumseong to disperse into the air.It is also famous for birthtale of king Mu who married Seonhwa princess of Silla.

  

<Nakhwaam>



Its name means the place which fall flowers. When Baekje was demolished, many women of Baekje fell into the Baekmagang by themselves because they wanted to keep their loyalty instead of living shamefully. Later on, people call this place into Nakhwaam which stemmed from the figure that flowers fall into the river. When people look at the Baekmagang, the color of cliff is still red
because of blood of Baekje womens. Ilyeon recorded in Samgukyusa that lots of women fell into the river by themselves in this place.

<Busosanseong>

This fortress, Busosanseong, is also called Sabiseong or Soburiseong because it was designed to protect Sabi, the capital of the Baekje Kingdom. Built in the 16th year of King Seong's reign of Baekje, the fortress surrounds Mt. Busosan, hence the name. Some historians believe that the fortress was already there by the 22nd year of King Dongseongwang's reign , and reconstructed in the 6th year of King Muwang's reign into the form we see today.The sites of three main gates of the fortress are still there, and inside the fortress one can face a number of famous historic sites such as a military depot, Nakhwaam Cliff, Sabiru Pavilion, Yeongillu Pavilion and Goransa Temple. Historians believe that the Baekje kings and aristocracy used the fortress not just for military purposes but, in peaceful times, as a pleasure park.

Gyeongju

-Sightseeing

<Seokgatap>

  Seokgatap is located in the city of Gyeongju Jinhyondon,It was designated as National Treasure No. 21. in December 1962.Tower was damaged in1966 but restored in december.

<Anapji>

Anapji is the place where the king celebrate his important guests.Therefore,the lake and the palace are quite harmonious and beautifully decorated.At the time,they(the king and his guests)collected
rare animals in here and enjoy this place.

<Cheomseongdae>(첨성대)

Cheomseongdae is the oldest extant astronomical observatory in East Asia.Cheomseongdae has curvaceous look.It is not fancy but Cheomseongdae which has curvaceous look shows beauty of Korea.Especially,It is very beautiful at night. 

<Seokguram>

Until now, it is not completely restored so people put a glass rod to protect it.Looks to the other side of the glass, a beautiful piece of  Seokguram makes people to admire it.
It's incredible when I think that how the Silla potters engrave delicate pieces into it  thousand years ago. 

<Bulguksa>

 

 

 

May be,there are no Koreans who don`t know about Bulguksa. Enough to be designated as a World Heritage Site and famous for historical sites and No.1 scenic spots , and it's worth it.There are numerous national treasures and treasures such as the Dabotap, Seokgatap, gilt bronze Vairocana sedentary, gilt bronze Amida Buddha sedentary, Stupa, Yeonhwagyo Chilbogyo, Cheongungyo, Baekungyo.

<Hwangnyongsa>

The Hwangnyongsa Belt contains the site of the Hwangnyongsa Temple. Although Hwangnyongsa Temple was destroyed during the Mongol invasion, its enormous size prior to the destruction can be easily imagined. Some 40,000 excavated relics provide a valuable resource for studying Silla history.
The Myeonghwal Fortress in the Sanseong Belt, believed to have been built earlier than CE 400, demonstrates Silla's fortification techniques that subsequently influenced the fortifications of Japan.
