Bonghwa Goseon Valley is a really great place that I can count as my favorite valley! It's perfect for swimming in the clear and cold stream water, and if you look into the water, you can see small fish swimming. The surrounding natural scenery is also beautiful, so it's a perfect place to rest under the shade of a tree or enjoy a picnic.ㅎㅎ Even in the middle of summer, the water is cool, so it makes you forget the heat, and it's also really nice that there aren't many people, so you can enjoy nature in a quiet place. The best moment was soaking my feet in the stream water and listening to the sound of the flowing water! #JanuaryTravelSupportEvent #BonghwaTravel

#CherryBlossom2024 The border between Gyeongsangbuk-do and Gangwon-do still seems to have unspoiled nature. This is Yangwon Station. This trip to Gyeongsangbuk-do and Gangwon-do gave me a chance to see nature, so I'd like to share it with you.

Cheongryangsa. Cheongryangsan Provincial Park Address: 255 Cheongryang-ro, Myeongho-myeon, Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Contact: 054 672 4994. After parking in the provincial park's parking lot, if you take the steep path to the right before crossing the bridge behind, you'll reach an unexpected temple after about 20 to 30 minutes. Along the valley path, quaint waterfalls flow down on both sides, and just when you wonder if there's a temple in this place, a temple with an open view appears. During the construction of Cheongryangsa, Great Master Wonhyo brought a bull that was not working in the fields but was rampaging, with the farmer's permission, and when it arrived at the temple, it became docile and worked tirelessly day and night until it died the day before the temple's completion. It turned out to be an incarnation of the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, and they made a grave for the bull. At that spot, a pine tree with three branches grew, which is called 'Samgak Woosong,' and the bull's grave is referred to as 'Samgak Woochong'.
