#DomesticTravel If you think I'm crazy about Yeongwol, that's right! I don't even go to Gangwon-do often, but I'm completely captivated by Yeongwol. For those of you who are planning to visit Yeongwol this week and next week for the Hongmemil Festival, I'll introduce you to the Yeongwol travel destinations I visited this time! 1️⃣2️⃣ Byeolchongchong Mural Village This is a cute neighborhood with cute murals in a quiet village in Yeongwol. Even if you don't bring a bouquet of flowers, this is a spot where you can take a million photos of your life. 3️⃣4️⃣ Yeongwol Donggang Hongmemil Festival A special Hongmemil field in Yeongwol that you can't see anywhere else in the country! When I visited, it was the beginning of the festival, so it was just starting to bloom, but I think it will be in full bloom next week! 5️⃣6️⃣Yeongwol Station Yeongwol Station is a railway cultural asset that has preserved its place along with Yeongwol's history. You can feel the excitement of the trip even more because you get off the train, cross the railroad tracks, and enter the station! 7️⃣Yeongmojeon I think many people are hearing about this place for the first time. It is a place where people come to pay their respects because King Danjong's portrait and memorial tablet are enshrined, and the surrounding scenery is so beautiful that it is a great place to visit for a trip! They say that the surrounding area is beautifully colored with cherry blossoms in the spring. 8️⃣9️⃣Cheongnyeongpo This is a famous tourist attraction that is widely known as the place of Danjong's exile! Most people think that he was exiled to Cheongnyeongpo and passed away there, but he actually did not stay in Cheongnyeongpo for long and moved to Gwanpungheon, which I introduced earlier, and passed away there. You can take a boat ride to this place and take a walk through the forest where King Danjong stayed and spent his time. 🔟~ Yeongwol Travel Lounge A rest area for travelers right in front of Yeongwol Station. It provides bottled water, free Wi-Fi, charging, heating and cooling, and Yeongwol travel information, so it's a good place to stay, and there's a really fun exhibition going on right now. The space that was previously used as Yeongwol Travel Lounge is now a set for a drama shoot, so when there's no filming, take a quick look around from outside☺️ (The Travel Lounge has now moved to the space next to the set!)

#DomesticTravel 🌳A towering landmark of Yeongwol's nature conservation 📍: #Yeongwol-gun 🚙: @bytrain_naver 1️⃣ #YeongwolRiversideReservoirPark A place where you can take pictures on a picturesque zelkova hill A landmark that is like a symbol of Yeongwol 2️⃣ #Cheongnyeongpo If you board the boat to Cheongnyeongpo, you will see the place of exile of King Danjong and the guardian tree, Gwaneumsong. A beautiful green space surrounded by trees appears! It is great for forest bathing, so I highly recommend it. My top pick! 3️⃣ In addition, #SundaeJipBackMesoqua Tire Road & #Trainroad and #SummerWildflowers that I happened to meet were all places full of Korean healing 4️⃣ #YeongwolTravel An exhibition is on at #CulturalSpaceJindallaejang until July 28th! This space, created by the writers, is a space that was reborn as a Jindallaejang that was used as an inn in the past. The room where I took pictures is also a reinterpretation of recycled materials along with the bathroom, so please do not touch it! + The teachers can still take pretty pictures, right? #Bytetrain recruiting #Starry Milky Way Tour Here, you can see the beautiful summer Milky Way. Tomorrow, I will bring back the Milky Way as a reel along with my travel memories. *I participated in the Bytetrain Yeongwol New Trod Fam Tour with the support of Yeongwol-gun. #Places to visit in Yeongwol #Yeongwol travel destination #Bytetrain #Guesthouse Yeongwol #Yeongwol New Trod

#Cheongnyeongpo #Gangwon-do travel How to get there: If you type in the address of Cheongnyeongpo Observatory and go, you can easily find the ticket booth. ★Address: 68, Gwangcheon-ri, Nam-myeon, Yeongwol-gun, Gangwon-do Attraction: Danjong's exile site, Untangodo 1330 Integrated Information Center Danjong's exile site - It was 3,000 won per adult, and you can get to Danjong's exile site in about 1 minute by boat. There are also many stone steps at the entrance. There are many pine trees, and the deck path is well-made, so it's good for a walk. Recommended food & restaurant: Gangwon local restaurant - It's famous for sweet potato noodles, so there were a lot of people even though it was raining. The noodles were large, so we ordered one menu and shared them, and the potato pancake was delicious. #Couples

#Seoul Suburbs Yeongwol Cheongnyeongpo, known as the place of exile of King Danjong, is now in full bloom with golden pheasant flowers. I visited Cheongnyeongpo, which I visited with my parents when I was young, and it was even more impressive to visit now that I’ve grown up. It’s surrounded by a river, so you have to take a boat to get in. When I was young, I remember it taking a long time, but when I visited this time, it went in in an instant..?😅 The green pine trees were still firmly in place, and the golden pheasants swaying along the river were so pretty. It’s great for studying history, viewing flowers, and experiencing something unique. If you’re traveling to Yeongwol, it would be great to stop by at least once! 🌼Cheongnyeongpo 📍Gangwon Yeongwol-gun Nam-myeon Gwangcheon-ri San 67-1 🕰️09:00-18:00 🚘Parking space O #Yeongwol travel #Yeongwol hot place #Cheongnyeongpo
