Chuncheon’s Cheongpyeong Temple and the Trek To Get There
The weather starting to warm up, or at least be reasonable for walking outside, has me itching to get out and do something. I was looking back at some temples I’ve been to so I can make a list of some different ones to check out in the upcoming year and I chanced upon one of my favorites, Cheongpyeong-sa Temple (청평사). Cheongpyeongsa is one of my favorites probably for the trip that it takes to get there, which entails traveling by bus, boat and a nice, but not too lengthy, hike. Take a trip to see this temple in Chuncheon. The trek to get there is beautiful: (This post contains…

Rocky Chaesukgang Cliff In Jeollabuk-do Is A Must See
When looking to get away from Seoul to the seaside of Korea, Jeolla is often calling. Whether it’s spring in Korea or winter in Korea, a rocky seaside offers something to see and enjoy in my opinion. There are gorgeous sandy beaches on the east coast of Korea, but Jeolla has some really gorgeous cliffs and rocky coastline to enjoy. Chaesukgang Cliff (채석강) is one of the best things to see in Jeollabuk-do. After stopping in nearby Gunsan City or Seonyudo Island for some sightseeing, we headed south to visit the cliffs in Jeonbuk National Geopark (전북 서해안권 국가지질공원). Jae-oo and I had visited this area almost a decade ago…

Jindo Miracle Sea Road Festival: The Most Unique Spring Festival in Korea
Spring is a beautiful time in Korea. There are cherry blossoms that begin to bloom and more flowers that bring the country to life. There’s more than just flowers though. For four years I’ve heard about the Jindo Sea Parting Festival (진도 신비의바닷길축제) and for four years it’s been during the week. No one has power over the seas after all so this Korean festival was also during the week and thus as I work, I couldn’t go. However, this year the seas were parting on the weekend and so I set out making plans to go to this super unique spring festival in South Korea. The Jindo Sea Parting…
