#Cafe with a good view Ocean view cafe that you can't miss when you go to Jangjado #Lapar The best thing is that you can see the ocean view from anywhere in the cafe A cafe that's perfect for healing with nature while looking at the water 🌊 Lapar 31 Jangjado 2-gil, Okdo-myeon, Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do ⏰ Weekdays 11:00 ~ 19:30 Weekends 10:00 ~ 19:30 🚗 Use public parking lot No parking space next to the cafe

#Winter travel ✔️Address: 45 Gadoan 1-gil, Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do ✔️Atmosphere/facilities: Located on the way from Gunsan Port to Bi-eung Port, somewhat far from the city center, recommended to use your own car rather than public transportation, Gunsan 2-star tourist hotel, somewhat outdated facilities, factory view, atmosphere between a motel and a hotel, friendly staff. ✔️Key points: Recommended for those who are traveling to Gunsan by car and looking for a cheap hotel. The exterior looks quite new, but the interior is somewhat unsophisticated and has an interior reminiscent of a motel. I do not recommend it to those who want a stylish and new hotel. Also, if you are assigned a room at the back of the hotel like me, you will have a factory view, so it would be good to consider it for those who want a nice view. In fact, it is a place where it is difficult to find many advantages such as transportation, room condition, and facilities, so it would be good for those who value a low price. The staff is friendly and it is easy to get information on good restaurants and tourist attractions. *Please note that breakfast is not currently available. ✔️Average price per person: 41,000 won~ ✔️Rating: ⭐️ #Ho-kang-seu #Gunsan-hotel

A place where the wind blows very coolly A tall building like a neat top cafe The coffee is no different from other coffee shops, but the cake....about two stars... The view is five stars In the summer, the outside would be fine, but the view from inside would be very good Personally, I think the best time would be to go at sunset that day Around 6:30 to 7:00 would be the best

#beachlife very calming and relaxing this is the best way to beat the summer please come and go here in Seonyudo Gunsan Beach. There is a zipline that can add the thrill and fun. Lets beat the summer in Korea Kamsahamnida!

#With kids 🔸Seonyudo bike rental ✔️Location: 34-22 Seonyunam-gil, Okdo-myeon, Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do Seonyudo in Gunsan is a great travel destination for kids.

📍 17 Guyeong 1-gil, Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do Japanese-style house I went to see a Japanese-style house, but there were quite a few people, so I couldn't see it properly, which was a shameㅠㅠ It's a building built by Hirotsu, a Japanese person during the Japanese colonial period, and it's said to be a cultural asset 😮 📍 67-3 Daehak-ro, Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do Mannam Snack I don't remember the name of the stir-fried squid, but I ate the stir-fried sundae at a place called Mannam Snack! It was really delicious and felt like a local restaurant.. And surprisingly, I dipped the kimbap in soy sauce and ate it, so it had a different taste #Gunsan travel #Eat tour #Gourmet tour #Jeonbuk travel #Jeolla-do travel #Pro foodie

Gunsan Taeseong Banjeom. There aren't many noodles in the jjambbong, but it's filled with seafood as good as a seafood stew in a huge bowl. I gave up because I was tired of eating. The tangsuyuk tastes better the more I chew it. It seems to be well-fried. The jjajang is spicy jjajang, and the flavor spreads in my mouth. It's a famous local restaurant. #SummerCapture #RestaurantExploration #SafeTravel

The Iksan National Museum was built to celebrate the Baekje Dynasty culture. It has a permanent exhibition of around 400 relics (from a total of more than 19,000 found at the site of the Mireuksa Temple, the largest temple of the Baekje Dynasty). It has a shape of a stone pagoda and is located on low ground so it won’t interfere with the view of the temple. An important museum to visit at Iksan city. #merrychristmas #travelinspiration #historicallandmarks #historicalandculturaltravel #merrychristmas

When visiting the city of Iksan, don’t miss the opportunity to watch the National Treasure No. 289, the Wanggung Five-story Stone Pagoda.
