#OctoberTravelSupportEvent #100TravelStyles #ConqueringRestaurants The hottest food these days, Dubai Chocolate! If there's anyone who hasn't tried it yet, I recommend you try it since the JJ Dessert store opened at Lotte Department Store Dongtan Branch. The unique texture of Dubai Chocolate stimulates your appetite and even if you eat just one piece, your sugar will be charged, so I recommend you try it with coffee on a lazy afternoon. 🌟 The new product, Chestnut Tiramisu, is also delicious!

#Chuseok #100TravelStyles Tteok is a must-have food not only for Chuseok but also for holidays! For those who missed out on tteok during Chuseok, I would like to introduce you to the pretty Korean dessert cafe Tteokgiri! This is a place where you can enjoy desserts using tteok and traditional food, and the shape is so pretty that it is almost a shame to eat it!

We also sell Chuseok gift sets, so you can share them with someone special! 🌕 Location: 181 Dongtan-daero, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, B2, B2, 212, 213

The romantic Dongtan Lake Park is beautiful in all four seasons! 🌳 As autumn approaches, the red leaves start to appear. Let me introduce you to Dongtan Lake Park, which beautifully transforms in the melancholy of autumn. It's an ideal place for an autumn trip, perfect for couples or families. Additionally, there are many things to see at the flea market on weekends, so I highly recommend visiting in the fall!

#Domestic travel This is a Hwaseong Hanok Cafe with a well-maintained garden. The greenhouse area is very hot, and the outdoor tables are perfect for enjoying these days. If you feel hot easily, I recommend using the indoor area. Aah was okay, and everyone says the mugwort cream latte is delicious, but I personally like the mugwort flavor to be strong, so I wanted it to be less sweet and have a stronger mugwort flavor. However, the garden is pretty, so I want to go again on a nice day. ✔Menu price Mugwort latte 7,500 won Cream latte 7,500 won ⏰Business hours 11:00 - 20:00 Closed (every Monday) 📍Hwarimwon 242 Samhwa-gil, Bibong-myeon, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do

#Domestic travel This island, named Gukhwado because it is full of chrysanthemums in the fall, is a great place to visit for a day trip from the metropolitan area or Chungcheong region. 🚢10 minutes from Dangjin Janggo Port, 40 minutes from Hwaseong Gungpyeong Port! Gukhwado is an island that is administratively called Hwaseong, but it takes about 10 minutes by boat from Dangjin Janggo Port and about 40 minutes from Hwaseong Gungpyeong Port. The time it takes to arrive at the port varies depending on where you are, so calculate the boat time and travel time and use the boat from the port that is convenient for you! 🕰️First boat from Janggo Port: 08:00 Last boat: 18:00 (summer) Based on the first boat at 8:00, there are boats every two hours. If you purchase a ticket at Janggo Port, you will be issued a round-trip ticket, so make sure to keep the ticket with you! 🚘The operation of the ferry is flexible! Gukhwado is not a very big island that you can see everything in an hour or two, so you can park your car at Janggo Port and go, but if you really have to drive in, you can take the ferry that operates once or twice a day. However, the ferry operation is very flexible 🥺 🍚There are only a few restaurants on Gukhwado! There are only a few restaurants on the island because it is an island where water supply permits are not easily issued. Reviews are very mixed, so I recommend staying one night on the island and eating at your accommodation or eating near Janggo Port and going back and forth! 🏕️It is a backpacking mecca. Gukhwado is a backpacking mecca because the ocean and sunset are so pretty that you will regret not staying one night! The last ferry is at 6 o'clock, so it is hard to see the sunset on a day trip, so I want to go backpacking when the weather gets a little cooler. 1️⃣2️⃣ Sunset, Maebak Island This is an observatory that you can see when you walk along the Gukhwado perimeter road. The island you see here is Maebak Island, and when the tide goes out, you can walk to Maebak Island. 3️⃣ Sea Pension They also operate accommodations, and they also operate a light shop and restaurant on the Gukhwado perimeter road. I was able to have a cup of convenience store coffee while looking at the ocean in Gukhwado, where cafes are rare. 4️⃣ Gukhwado Lighthouse The first thing that greets you when you enter Gukhwado is the yellow chrysanthemum-colored lighthouse, the symbol of Gukhwado! 5️⃣6️⃣ Gukhwado Beach It's great for swimming, but they say it's a famous sunset spot. When they arrived, everyone was in full gear, so I wondered what was going on, but they were fully prepared to dig up a ton of clams... 7️⃣Seommaeul House Coffee As mentioned above, the only cafe in Gukhwado, where cafes are rare! It's not just an ordinary cafe, but a Vietnamese cafe run by a real Vietnamese person. It's located at the beginning of the trail and is close to the port, so it's a good place to stop by. 8️⃣Gukhwado Photo Zone This is a photo zone with the shape of the chrysanthemum, the symbol of Gukhwado. In addition to this, there are many other fun photo zones, such as the Stairway to Heaven. Gukhwado is a great place to stay overnight and enjoy the sunset and swimming, but it's also a great place to do light trekking like we did. When the chrysanthemums bloom in the fall, come and visit Gukhwado Island, which is even prettier🏝️💚

🤎 286 Sejaro, Jeongnam-myeon, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, Lavidol Hotel Lobby Floor 2 🤎 11:00-20:00 🤎 No holidays It's a great place near Seoul for taking photos. Although it's a hotel lounge café, the coffee prices are very affordable for a hotel lounge, and it feels like being in Europe. 🩷 It's recommended for dates, but since the hotel is also operated together, it's also recommended for a nearby family trip. 🩵🩷

#Emotional Cafe 'Good Beans Coffee Signature' in Hwaseong, a modern interior that combines the feel of a hanok 📍Location: 1454 Beodeul-ro, Paltan-myeon, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do There is a parking lot right in front of the cafe, so you can park comfortably. Parents with children must actively care for their children in the Care Kids Zone. Brunch ordering hours are 11-17, and there is a set menu for one person, so you can order a reasonable menu. Police officers, firefighters, and soldiers can get up to 50% discount, and you can even get a free refill of Americano when you write a review. As expected of a large cafe, there were many 4-person tables, and the atmosphere was warm and quiet, so it was nice to feel relaxed while having a cup of coffee. The French toast was also moderately sweet, so it went well with the coffee! I recommend this place where you can enjoy a hanok cafe in Hwaseong with a warm atmosphere!

▪️ Ganjjajang The jjajang was really stir-fried over high heat, so the flavor of the fire really came out, and the jjajang was really delicious. The noodles were also chewy. ▪️ Stir-fried seafood jjambbong It was filled with fresh squid, octopus, etc. Since it was stir-fried jjambbong, I thought there wouldn't be any soup at all, but there was a little bit of soup. I took a bite and the first thing that came to mind was the taste of tteokbokki. It felt like tteokbokki with a spoonful of spiciness and seafood. It was as spicy as Shin Ramyun. Ganjjambbong was also delicious, and the stir-fried seafood jjambbong was unique and delicious!🧡 Hongdae Chinese restaurant, Hongdae Jinjjambbong It's perfect for a good value lunch, so I think I'll come here often for lunch. #Exciting summer vacation #Hongdae Jinjjambbong

"Gungpyeong Haesong Grove", where the scenery changes with beautiful light over time, is a walking path between the sea on the right and the pine forest on the left, and I felt as if my body was being healed as I walked while fully feeling nature 🎶 [Gungpyeong Haesong Grove] A pine forest where you can walk a 700m walking path while looking at the cool blue sea and smelling the scent of pine trees. This is the 4th of the 8 scenic views of Hwaseong, and it turns into a beautiful beach when the sun sets. The Osol Pavilion in the middle of the pine forest is an experiential art piece that signifies a journey to enjoy the pine forest. The harmony of the roof expressing the shape of sea waves and the pillars reminiscent of a pine forest shows an artificial forest. 🚗Unpaved road parking available 🔍Gungpyeong-ri, Seosin-myeon, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do 660-41 #places to go with kids #Gungpyeong Haesong Forest #places to go with kids#spring outing#weekend outing#outing spots
