It's Japanese-style tonkatsu!! It's a hip place where you can have a drink at a restaurant during the day and a highball bar at night. The Japanese-style interior also played a part, so I was able to enjoy a different atmosphere. I was satisfied with the food and it was delicious. The tonkatsu was really crispy and delicious. I understand why the name of the store is Seokseokseok. It's because of the sound it makes when you cut the tonkatsu! The karaage was also very moist Especially the flat udon!!! Wow~~ It's a new world If you have a chance to go to Ansan, go there!! #AnsanHotPlace #AnsanRestaurant #TonkatsuRestaurant

#SummerVacation #RoseHotPlace Don't go to RoseHotPark Hangang Park, go here!!! Park across from Banwol Purification Plant and go down, and you'll see the fairytale-like RoseHotPark flower wall. It's a unique place where you can see RoseHotPark flowers hanging in clusters on a wide wall that's about 50 meters high and about 7 meters high. Since many people don't know about it yet, I took pictures and leisurely enjoyed the RoseHotPark flowers. RoseHotPark wall that you can get to in an hour from Seoul. Instead of going to the crowded Hangang Park, how about here?

#SummerDate #ArkChurch #AnsanTravel The Ark Church, a building designed by world-renowned architect Jun Itami, is a building inspired by Noah's Ark. This place, which overlooks the West Sea, was a space that reminded me of Noah's Ark in the Bible. 🥹 The interior was like being on a ship, with the scenery and flowing water visible through the windows, and it felt warm. If you're planning a trip from Daebudo to Seonjaedo, I recommend this as a travel destination to stop by for a while and take a look.🔥 🚘There is a dedicated parking lot 📄 466 Daeseon-ro, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do

#Gyeonggi-do travel Perfect for a trip to Gyeonggi-do, not far from Seoul ❤️ There are a lot of things to enjoy in Ansan?!?!😉😉 A perfect glamping barbecue site where even beginners can enjoy high-quality barbecue without any other equipment🥩 Since it hasn't been open for long, the facilities are really top-notch, and the grill is so good that it's amazing that it cooks well without burning..🫢 Cook the pork neck to some extent in the center, then put it aside, and cover it with the lid and cook it, so you can enjoy an American-style barbecue🙋🏻‍♀️ The store has all the meat, ramen, rice, stew, and snacks, so it's perfect for the whole family to enjoy glamping😉 There's also a cafe right next door, so you can have a full course including coffee💕 📍Walk Ansan ✔️Advance reservations are essential

#Emotional Cafe I found out about #SoRuk while looking for lettering cakes for my friend's birthday I went into the cafe to pick it up, but the exterior was so pretty that I grabbed my camera right away💜 A place full of cute interiors and cute props The cafe itself is cute and lovely, but I think the highlight of SoRuk Cafe is the closet🫧 Disney dolls and photos filling up one wall🧸 Actually, I had high expectations for the cake design on Instagram and placed my order, but it came out a little too (?), so I was a little disappointed 🥹 🍰 SoRuk Dessert Cafe 📍Gyeonggi Ansan-si Danwon-gu Jungang-daero 951 Daeju Building 104 ▪️Tuesday~Sunday 12:00~20:00 ❌ Regularly closed every Monday

Gubongdo Haesolgil Address: 35-3, Daebubuk-dong, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do Key points: Tents allowed / Cooking allowed / Walking trail course and nearby cafes Rating: 🟡🟡🟡🟡 After taking a picture of the address, park in the parking lot and go near the beach If you follow the road on the left, there is a path where you can pitch a tent You have to go early to secure a spot. Cooking allowed. After pitching a tent and leisurely playing, since there are many cafes nearby It would be nice to have a cup of coffee. Since it's in front of the ocean, the price is expensive The coffee at the not-so-pretty(?) cafe near the parking lot is a bit cheaper ^^

Address: 312 Hwarang-ro, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, Yedang Cafe (opposite Eunhye and Jinri Church) Atmosphere/Facilities: It was so well decorated that I was confused whether I came to camp or just drink coffee!
