A Solo Adventure: Exploring Unjeong Lake in Korea 🌿📸

#summervacay Morning Spontaneity Woke up with no plans, spent 10 minutes scrolling through travel guides, and decided to embark on a solo trip to Unjeong Lake in Paju, Gyeonggi-do. Took a long bus ride (2 hours!)—honestly, the commute was tedious. If you can, rent a car or drive—it’ll save you the hassle of waiting11. Scenic Beauty & Wildlife The lake was stunning—crystal-clear waters, fish as long as an arm (my first thought: "That’d make a great grilled dish!" 😆), and wild ducks & mandarin ducks gliding across the surface. Walked around the lake faster than expected (maybe I was too eager?) and snapped tons of photos. Luckily met a friendly Korean-Chinese couple who helped take some shots of me—solo travel perks! The Famous Suspension Bridge 🌉 The highlight was definitely the Unjeong Lake Suspension Bridge—a bit shaky but thrilling! The view from the middle was breathtaking, though I skipped the solo selfies (no one to impress, haha). Missed Opportunity Brought a picnic mat but didn’t find the perfect grassy spot—guess I walked too fast? Next time, I’ll slow down and enjoy a lakeside break. Return Journey Hopped on Bus 7500, then transferred to 774—another long ride, but worth it. The trip was refreshing and peaceful, perfect for nature lovers. Best for small groups, but driving is highly recommended unless you’re patient with buses! Final Thoughts ✅ Pros: Stunning views, great for photography, peaceful vibes. ❌ Cons: Long bus rides, limited picnic spots if you rush. #solotravel #koreahiddengems #hikingadventures #naturephotography #pajutravel 🌄
