Address: 20 Seomyeonmunhwa-ro, Busanjin-gu, Busan Metropolitan City, 2nd floor Atmosphere/Facilities: Traditional feel, good Special reason: Unique cafe where you can brew your own tea Average price per person: 6,000 won~8,000 won Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hello, this is Weimei!! These days, I'm a supporter of international students, so I often meet with foreign friends. When I meet them, I want to create a special experience in Korea for them. For example, even when we go out to eat, I want to introduce traditional Korean restaurants instead of sushi, tonkatsu, spaghetti, etc. The owner kindly explained and recommended the place. She said that the scent is good and that the yellow tea is Korean, so I ordered three kinds: yellow tea, matcha, and Tieguanyin! I think it's cheaper and more cost-effective than other cafes because you can brew tea continuously~! I recommend it~ #cafe #uniquecafe #Busanuniquecafe #Busancafe #Busantravel #Koreantraditionalteahouse #BusanSeomyeoncafe #BusanSeomyeon #Seomyeoncafe

Nanyang was home to many ancient feudal states, with the longest-lasting and most prominent being the State of Lü, while the State of Shen marked the beginning of a new era. Thus, Nanyang is known as the "Land of Shen and Lü" and is regarded as the ancestral homeland by the Lü and Xie clans. The earliest feudal state in Nanyang was the State of Lü, established by Boyi. From its founding around 2100 BCE by Xia Yu, who enfeoffed Boyi as the Marquis of Lü, to its destruction by King Wen of Chu in 688 BCE (the ninth year of King Zhuang of Zhou), Lü endured for centuries. During the reign of King Xuan of Zhou, the State of Lü was renamed the State of Fu. Boyi, the 14th-generation descendant of Emperor Yan (the Flame Emperor and Divine Farmer), should not be confused with the Boyi who refused to eat Zhou's grain. Boyi served as the first "Taiyue" (Great Mountain) under Emperor Shun, holding the position of one of the Four Peaks. He recommended Xia Yu for governance and later assisted Yu in flood control, earning the enfeoffment of Lü for his contributions. As a trusted minister, he was likened to the "thighs and arms" of the ruler, while his land was the "waist and backbone." The territory of the State of Lü was located around Dong (Lü) Ying in Wangcun Township, Nanyang, which is also the ancestral origin of the Lü surname worldwide. Boyi established the "Five Punishments," and the "Lü Xing" (Lü Penal Code) is considered the first criminal code in Chinese history. Jiang Ziya (Jiang Shang), a descendant of the ancient State of Lü, was also known as Lü Shang or Lü Wang. He was enfeoffed as the King of Qi by King Wu of Zhou. Around 700 BCE, the State of Shen emerged at the foot of Dushan Mountain. The capital of Shen was located "north of Wan in Nanyang, below Xushan," with Xushan being Dushan. Archaeological remains of the ancient State of Shen have yielded notable artifacts like the "Zhong Chengfu Gui," a bronze food vessel inscribed with references to "Zhong Chengfu, the Grand Steward of Duke Shen of the South," indicating it was made for sacrificial purposes. The "Grand Steward" was the prime minister of Shen. When King Xuan of Zhou (Ji Jing) ascended the throne, his queen was the virtuous Jiang, known for "removing her hairpin to await punishment." As the power of the southern State of Chu grew, King Xuan enfeoffed his uncle, Prince Cheng, as Duke Shen, granting him the territory of Nanyang, also called "Southern Shen" (the Western Shen State was near Baoji, home to the Shen Rong tribe). Later, King Xuan of Zhou destroyed the State of Xie and dispatched his minister, Wu Bohu, to build a new capital for Duke Shen on Xie's land, named "Xie City." This became a key military stronghold guarding the south. The capital of Xie City is today's Xiecun Village in Jinhua Town, Wancheng District, widely recognized as the ancestral home of the Xie surname. Duke Cheng's daughter became the queen of King You of Zhou. When King You became infatuated with Bao Si and deposed his heir, Yijiu, the latter fled south to the State of Shen for refuge. The Marquis of Shen then allied with the States of Zeng and the Quanrong tribe to attack Haojing (near Xi'an), killing King You at the foot of Mount Li and ending the Western Zhou Dynasty. Yijiu later became King Ping of Zhou. Duke Shen escorted Yijiu to Luoyang, marking the beginning of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Later, King Wen of Chu conquered the States of Shen and Deng, establishing Shen County and renaming it Wanyi, the origin of today's Wancheng.

Food in the food court was also average. It’s mostly Chinese food and could use more variety. I ate a steak and potato dish.

Nanyang one-day tour guide: We set off at 8 o'clock in the morning and our first stop was Nanyang Prefecture Yamen. The ticket to this well-preserved Ming and Qing government building complex is only 40 yuan. It is recommended to hire a tour guide so that you can hear many interesting stories about officialdom. The ancient trees and stone tablets in the government office are particularly suitable for taking photos. Remember to wear Hanfu for better photos. Around 10 o'clock, walk for 10 minutes to the Temple of the Medical Saint. This is a place to commemorate Zhang Zhongjing, and it is a must-visit for Chinese medicine enthusiasts.

At 2 pm, I took a taxi to the Han Painting Museum, and the fare was about 15 yuan. This is the largest museum dedicated to Han Dynasty stone reliefs in the country, with a very rich collection. Focus on the two treasures of the museum, "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" and "Two Peaches Killing Three Warriors". Remember to make an appointment in advance for the free explanation. Go to the last stop, Wuhou Temple, around 4 o'clock. This is a place to commemorate Zhuge Liang, with a quiet and elegant environment.
