Seokmun Park, located in Gangjin, Jeollanam-do, is said to be visited by many people because it has the longest cloud bridge (Love + Cloud Bridge) in Korea. It was thrilling and dizzying to cross the cloud bridge because it was shaking, but it was a really fun experience. It is a great travel destination for a walk, as you can walk to the cloud bridge from the parking lot in 15 minutes, so I highly recommend it if you are traveling to Gangjin:) 🚗There is a dedicated parking lot 🔍2084 Baekdo-ro, Doam-myeon, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do #Places to go with kids #Seokmun Park

Gaudo, which is located in a bay that looks like it was cut with a knife, has Dasan Bridge and Cheongja Bridge in both directions. There are activities gathered on the Cheongja Bridge side, such as Gaudo Swinging Bridge, monorail, zipline, and jet boat! You can enjoy them all at once! Gaudo is full of activities! #GangjinTravel #SwingingBridge #Activity

We went there during the day, but the sunset is really beautiful. The drive to the cafe was really pretty, and the sea and the walking path across from the cafe seemed like the famous Goblin filming site, but Yunseul, full of sunlight, is the real highlight! The cafe is on the 3rd floor, so it was fun to climb up the stairs, and the view is good because it's high. First, when you arrive, I recommend experiencing the swing in the garden before entering the cafe. That way, you can feel the afterglow of the swing shot, and it will be easier to climb to the 3rd floor? 😂 The owner's sense told us not to sit in this photo zone, which is open to everyone! Thank you🙏 I know how disappointing it is if you go there after seeing a photo zone and someone is sitting there. It was a day when the expression "the sea is dazzling" was perfect. A place where time seemed to stop and become peaceful A place where the dazzling Yunseul Ocean View shook my heart I recommend it as a Gangjin Cafe💙 - - 📍Gangjin Cafe Bunker 🧭73 Kamakseom-ro, Mallyang-myeon, Gangjin-gun ⏰️10:00-21:00 (Closed every Monday) #GoodViewCafe#GangjinTravel#OceanViewCafe

🔆 Tourist Attraction: Sa-ui-jae & Sa-ui-jae Hanok Experience Center 🔆 Location: 27, 31-5 Sa-ui-jae-gil, Gangjin-eup, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do - Sa-ui-jae is where Dasan Jeong Yak-yong first stayed when he was exiled to Gangjin in 1801. Sa-ui-jae was the name Dasan gave him when he renewed his body and mind and pledged to devote himself to education and academic research, and it means 'a house where a person who does the four things right resides.' - Sa-ui-jae Hanok Experience Center consists of three buildings. Sa-ui-jae was created to supplement the lack of lodging among its original characteristics of providing food and lodging as a traditional tavern. ❗️Sa-ui-jae is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and is easily accessible as it is close to Gangjin Terminal. #Hanok #Domestic travel #Jeolla-do #Gangjin #Dasan Jeong Yak-yong #Sa-ui-jae #Sa-ui-jae Hanok Experience Center

#Hiking Deokryongsan is a low mountain, but it is a rugged mountain. And the ridge is really beautiful. There are various courses. If you climb it on a short course, you can reach the summit in about 2 hours. #Gangjin travel #Deokryongsan

📍 398 Jujaksan-gil, Sinjeon-myeon, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do ⏰ 15:00 Check-in / 11:00 Check-out It's a campsite surrounded by cypress trees on all sides. The view is guaranteed. However, since it's kept natural, it's hard to park right next to the site, and you have to park in the parking lot and bring your luggage. However, the bathroom, shower, and sink were all clean, and the electricity worked well, and it wasn't bad for the low price. Since the sites are very, very close together, you can hear every rustling sound, so if you meet the wrong people, you might not be able to sleep all night… .. Drinking, dancing, and making loud noises at the campsite until late at night… . 🥲 #Camping #JujaksanCampsite #GangjinTravel

Address: Hongseong Pure Pension Atmosphere/Facilities: Clean and ocean view Key points: Private room with barbecue Average price per person: 220,000 won (weekends), 200,000 won (weekdays) Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited with friends on a friendship trip and booked the #1 family room! The great thing about this room is that you can see the ocean from the living room and the big room, and the private terrace is located right in front of the ocean, to the west, so you can barbecue while watching the sun set. It was so great, really the best..🧡 Just before the sun set, the opposite side turned pink-pink, and as the sun set, the sky turned orange-orange.. It was just amazing 🙂 Oh, and if you want to barbecue, you can add charcoal and a grill for 20,000 won! #Camping #Glamping #SunsetRestaurant #Barbecue #PurePension #NamdangPort #HongseongTravel

Do you know the emotion that you can only feel in the countryside? I think the unique feeling of my grandmother's house in the countryside is really good. So today, I'm going to introduce you to a rural emotional trip to Gangjin! #Gangjin My friend's grandmother's house is in Gangjin, so I was able to stay comfortably! In particular, there was a beach just a little way out of the house, so I had dinner and went for a walk. I also took a picture of my shadow on the dock with the sunset in the background! Isn't it really pretty? The sky was so pretty when the sun set. The night view of Seoul full of buildings is nice, but I think the night view with nature in the background is really nice. I also took a picture of my grandmother's dog, 'Berry'. Berry is named after blueberries! The reason why it was blueberries is because my grandmother runs a blueberry farm. So I also drank the blueberry wine that she made herself. 🍷 It was so delicious that I wanted to sell it on the market! It was my first trip to the countryside in a while, but I came back so healed! I actually liked that the Wi-Fi wasn't working well. I could chat with my friends while I was on my phone☺️ If you need a real break, try going on a trip to the countryside! You can come back with a lot of thoughts and emotions👍 #Gangjin Travel #Travel Sickness #Countryside Sensitivity #Countryside Travel #Night View #Sea #With Nature

#IndoorDate#GangjinTravel#GangjinCafe I went there in the early days of opening in 2019 and fell in love with it. I went there again after a long time, and the atmosphere was still the same, but it was more emotional, and I was able to heal myself. If you are planning a trip to Jeollanam-do, I recommend you visit here. There is a small dam? road that feels like a Jumunjin goblin photo zone right in front of the cafe, and it is also pretty. - - 📍Bunker 73 Kamakseom-ro, Mallyang-myeon, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do Bunker 10:30-19:00 (Closed every Wednesday)

#summervacay Gangjin isn’t flashy, but that’s kinda what makes it awesome. Spent a lazy afternoon just wandering around the city center and honestly? Loved every second. It’s got that small-town charm where everyone seems to know each other, and life moves at a slower, way-more-relaxing pace. There’s a mix of old-school shops, cute cafés, and random little finds (I saw a store that sold only socks?? Iconic). I grabbed a coffee from a cozy spot tucked behind a bookstore and just people-watched for a bit. Zero regrets. The streets are clean, the signs are colorful, and there’s a surprising amount of street art and ceramics nods scattered around, which makes sense, because Gangjin is famous for its celadon. Didn’t expect to learn anything on my stroll, but here we are. If you’re looking for a peaceful break from big-city chaos, Gangjin city center is perfect. Just walk, snack, repeat. It’s the definition of slow travel, and I’m here for it.

I first visited this café back in 2019 when it had just opened, and I was completely captivated. After a long time, I revisited, and it still had the same charm, but with an even more emotional and cozy atmosphere. I had a wonderful time relaxing there. 🩵 If you're planning a trip to Jeollanam-do, I highly recommend stopping by! ✔️ Right in front of the café, there's a small embankment path that feels like a photo zone from the drama 'Goblin.' It's absolutely beautiful! ---------------------------------------------- 📍Bunker 🧭 Address: 73 Kamakseom-ro, Maryang-myeon, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do 🕰 Hours: 10:30 AM - 7:00 PM (Closed every Wednesday) ✔️ Famous for its Pina Colada ✔️ Also recommended: Strawberry cake and other dessert menus ✔️ Be sure to check out the rooftop! It's the perfect space to relax while enjoying the breeze, complete with hammocks. 😉 Plus, pets are welcome on the rooftop! 🐶🐱

#EmotionalCafe#GangjinCafe A cafe with a sea-frame view that will make you fall in love with the dazzling Yunseul and sunset🩵 ✔️The Tongchang photo zone is always empty😉 I especially recommend it to those who are busy these days! "Be as lazy as possible, water, wind, sunset" That's the point the owner recommends When you see Yunseul and sunset shining like jewels on the calm sea No matter how insensitive you are, You feel like you have to get on a romantic ship This is the place where you can feel that emotion🩵 ---------------------------------------------- 📍Bunker 🧭73 Kamakseom-ro, Mallyang-myeon, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do Bunker 🕰10:30-19:00 (Closed every Wednesday) ✔️It's a famous pina colada restaurant ✔️In addition, I recommend strawberry cake and dessert menus ✔️Be sure to go up to the rooftop! The best space (hammock) is prepared for you to relax while feeling the breeze 😉 And the rooftop is pet-friendly🐶🐱

#summervacay Alright, Deokryongsan might not be one of the big-name mountains, but that’s kinda what makes it awesome. If you're looking to dodge the crowds and just get lost in some seriously peaceful nature, this place delivers. The trail starts out mellow, winding through quiet forest paths, and then slowly hits you with those sneaky inclines that get your legs working. What really surprised me? The views. Once you get up there, it’s this wide open, panoramic scene of rolling hills and misty peaks that feels way more dramatic than expected. Plus, the air up there? Crisp and clean, total brain detox. Didn’t see a ton of people, which made the whole thing feel like a personal adventure. Great mix of chill and challenge. You don’t need pro gear, just decent shoes, snacks, and maybe a hoodie for the breeze at the top. Low-key loved it. Deokryongsan might not be famous, but it’s got that quiet magic. Would defs go back for the zen.

Upon arriving at Baekryeonsa Temple on a snowy day, I was immediately enveloped by the stillness and fresh air that can only be felt deep in the mountains. The sound of footsteps on the snow was the only thing breaking the silence, while the snow piled on the temple's tranquil structures added an air of mystique to the atmosphere. From afar, the temple roofs and surrounding forest appeared like a picturesque painting, and as I walked through the temple grounds, my mind naturally became calm and peaceful. Especially on snowy days, visitors are rare, allowing for a truly immersive experience with nature, architecture, and history. Baekryeonsa Temple may offer different charms depending on the season, but its winter scenery is truly special. It’s one of the best places to quietly reflect and reconnect with oneself.

It's just a flower palace. You should definitely go there before the azaleas fall.

#OutdoorDate#SpringFlowerViewing#GangjinTravel The hottest and prettiest place to see spring flowers in Jeollanam-do is right here. It was already pretty, so it becomes the hottest place in April, but the Western Azalea Spring Flower Festival was held, so the crowds were so huge that it was amazing and scary😂 Be careful, if you go past 10 o'clock, you can't park and you might get swept up in people walking! The festival ended yesterday, but the azaleas are just starting, so I think there will still be a lot of people looking for it The old parking lot has been transformed into a festival site, and there are photo zones and a lot to see, so it was nice🌸 - - 📍Nammireuksa Western Azalea Spring Flower Festival 24-13, Pungdong 1-gil, Gundong-myeon, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do

#OutdoorDate#GangjinTravel Two years ago, I couldn't properly see Nammireuksa Temple because I only saw the flowers, but I was able to take my time and look around the temple itself. The huge and magnificent Amitabha Buddha statue The surrounding area was also filled with beautiful azaleas and birdsong that sounded like BGM I really enjoyed the beautiful scenery🩷 The flower tunnel is nice, but it's hard to find a temple with this kind of atmosphere anywhere in the country, so I highly recommend it as a spring flower outing course in Jeollanam-do🌸 - - 📍Nammireuksa Temple 24-13, Pungdong 1-gil, Gundong-myeon, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do

#Outdoor date #Gangjin trip #Spring flower viewing The fantastic spring flowers of Nammireuksa Temple that I visited 2 years ago If you can't forget the collaboration, come here🌸 I went there when the western azaleas were so pretty because the timing was perfect So there were really a lot of people But it was almost open so we rented the flower tunnel for a while and enjoyed the spring scent It's the number one spring flower travel destination that will continue to get hotter and hotter, so I hope those who want to see the azaleas that will get prettier from now on will definitely visit🩷 - - 📍Nammireuksa Temple 24-13, Pungdong 1-gil, Gundong-myeon, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do
