A Trip to Asan, Chungcheongnam-do

🌳 Sinjeongho Lake The first place I visited was Sinjeongho Lake. The walking paths along the waterfront are well-maintained, with plenty of benches and photo spots scattered around, making it a healing experience just to walk there. The reflection of the sky and trees on the lake, along with the sunlight shimmering on the water, created a clear and refreshing atmosphere. 🔮 Gongseri Catholic Church This is an old church with an impressive red brick exterior and Gothic-style chapel. In the yard, benches are placed under the shade of trees, and cherry blossoms were gently falling. While the building itself is beautiful, the pace of time here feels different. It’s the perfect spot to sit for a while and gather your thoughts. 🌺 Pinnacle Land After lunch, I visited Pinnacle Land, which was a tulip paradise. It’s a garden set on a wide hill, with flowers that change with the seasons and various themed walking paths. The tulip fields spread across the hill were stunning and left a lasting impression. ☕️ Mona Valley Near Sinjeongho Lake, I stopped by Mona Valley Café. Its charming exterior and spacious garden were striking, making it an ideal place to wrap up the trip with a cup of coffee. The soft sunlight streaming through the large glass windows and the gentle ripples on the water created a refreshing ambiance. The desserts were good, but what I loved most was the serene view. 🌳 The peaceful waterfront of Sinjeongho Lake, the tranquility of Gongseri Catholic Church, the vibrant beauty of Pinnacle Land, and the warm afterglow of Mona Valley. It was wonderful to experience such diverse atmospheres all in one trip, not far from home. When you need a break from your busy daily life, Asan in Chungcheongnam-do is a conveniently close travel destination.
