Let's go see the cherry blossoms with me,, H..? Right now, the cherry blossom spots in Jinju are all in full bloom and it's going to rain flowers soon-!! The cherry blossoms at Jinju Yeonam Library are more fantastic than the cherry blossoms on campus! S000000 It's so pretty that everyone comes to read books and take pictures of the cherry blossoms (of course, me too.) The bus stop is in front of Yeonam Library so it's easy to visit and it's close to Jinju Intercity Bus Terminal so how accessible is it!???! 📍Jinju City Yeonam Library -13-17, Moduk-ro 47beon-gil, Jinju-si, Gyeongnam 🕰️Library hours 9:00-22:00 🅿️There is a parking lot, but it's small, so you can also use the street parking! #CherryBlossomTravel

Hey guys!👫 Today, I'm taking you to Jinju, a hidden gem in South Korea, for a two-day dream trip to explore the unique charm of this city where history and nature intertwine. Are you ready to go?🚀 ## Day 1: Encounter the Gentleness and Beauty of Jinju 🌅Morning: After a long wait, we finally arrive in Jinju. Our first stop is the Jinju Folklore Museum, which is like a time capsule. The ancient utensils and exquisite costumes on display all carry the history and folk customs of Jinju, as if you can hear the whispers of time. Then, we take a stroll to Jinju Beach Park, where the vast sea comes into view. The gentle sea breeze caresses our faces, and the waves gently lap the beach, playing a natural symphony that is both pleasant and relaxing.🌊 🍱Noon: It's time to taste the local specialties and have a feast for our taste buds! Let's have a steaming hot seafood hot pot, with fresh shrimp and crab and plump shellfish rolling in the rich broth, and the delicious taste instantly blooms on the tip of our tongues. Then, we take a bite of crispy fried chicken, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and we feel a sense of happiness. 🌄Afternoon: We head to Jinju Harbor Park, where the spectacular harbor view is eye-catching, and the ships come and go in a lively scene. Then, we visit the International Marine Aquarium, where we seem to enter a mysterious underwater world, with colorful tropical fish, cute turtles, and lively jellyfish, and we explore the wonderful world of marine life.🐠 🌙Evening: As night falls, Jinju's night market comes alive with the aroma of various snacks. We have some sweet and spicy stir-fried rice cakes, which are soft and chewy, and then try some sweet sugar cakes, which are full of sweetness with every bite. We enjoy the lively nightlife, and when we get tired, we go back to the hotel for a good night's sleep to recharge for tomorrow's journey.🛏️ ## Day 2: Immerse Yourself in the Ancient Charm and Art of Jinju 🌅Morning: We visit the Jinju City Art Museum to admire the works of local artists, which are full of love for life and unique perspectives, and we immerse ourselves in the ocean of art to feel the power that touches our hearts. Then, we step into Yongheungsa Temple, where the solemn atmosphere instantly quiets us, and we listen to the ancient Buddhist chants to learn more about Korean Buddhist culture, which makes us feel peaceful and calm. 🍜Noon: It's lunchtime, and we taste the local specialties. The sour and spicy kimchi has a unique fermented aroma that is irresistible, and the cool and smooth cold noodles are refreshing in the hot weather, dispelling all the heat. 🌄Afternoon: We come to the ancient city wall ruins, where the ancient walls have been weathered by time, and the mottled traces tell the vicissitudes of history. We gently touch the bricks and stones to feel the profound historical charm of Jinju. Then, we head to the pottery village to watch the craftsmen make pottery, learn about the exquisite craftsmanship, and admire the beautiful pottery artworks, each of which is a testament to the craftsmen's hard work and wisdom. We might even be able to make a small item of our own.🎨 🌙Evening: We end the day and return to the hotel to rest, reminiscing about the wonderful memories of the past two days in Jinju. Guys, this trip to Jinju was amazing!

#Emotional Cafe #Jinju Cafe Since it's close to Uiryeong, I happened to go there on a drive, but it was a cafe that I liked from the beginning to the end. A place that definitely gets 100 points if you take your girlfriend! These days, the girlfriend series is popular, and it was a cafe that was full of emotions and captured the hearts of women. It felt like I was traveling to Europe by car! I recommend it as a Jinju travel course. - - 📍Ralcol 58, Obang-ro 487beon-gil, Micheon-myeon, Jinju-si, Gyeongnam

#summertravel#Jinjutravel#JinjuintheWol-AsanForest Isn't this place crazy about hydrangeas? I'd say that jokingly, because the whole forest is a park, and half of it is hydrangeas. I didn't know there was a park like this in Jinju. It was really like a hidden treasure🥹 In particular, there are a lot of white hydrangeas here, and the flower buds are so abundant that just looking at them makes me happy💜 If you haven't seen hydrangeas yet, please run to Jinju💜 - - 📍JinjuintheWol-AsanForest 313, Dalumsan-ro, Jinseong-myeon, Jinju-si, Gyeongnam

I thought I could only see the arboretum, but there was a forest museum. It's right in front of you when you enter the main gate, so it's a great place to stop by and see the arboretum or make it your last stop. 🌲 There's also media art, and I was surprised that there were more things to see than I thought. If it's cold and you feel it's hard to go out, it would be fun to come to the arboretum, take a quick look around, and then spend more time at the indoor forest museum! We took a quick look around, but there seem to be activities for kids to enjoy, so I recommend it as a family trip.🌿 - - 📍Gyeongsangnam-do Forest Museum 🧭Gyeongsangnam-do Forest Museum, 386 Sumokwon-ro, Ibanseong-myeon, Jinju-si, Gyeongsangnam-do #Domestic travel#Jinju travel

#Cafe with a good view Jinju in the forest of Wol-A Mountain in Jinju is now in full bloom with hydrangeas. The white hydrangeas are just in full bloom, and the pink and blue hydrangeas are just starting to bloom. I think it will be beautiful until the end of this month or early next month! Not only the hydrangeas, but there are also many forest adventures that you can enjoy with your children, such as sky bikes, ziplines, outdoor playgrounds, and large forest playgrounds, so it would be great to come with your children. I think it would be safer to play and have fun because there are always safety guards! I was so sad that I couldn't go with my baby because I went on a weekday morning. 🥺 A hidden gem-like spot in Jinju that is great for families and couples! I highly recommend it🥰 🍃Jinju in the forest of Wolasan 📍313 Dalumsan-ro, Jinseong-myeon, Jinju-si, Gyeongnam 🕰️09:00-18:00 (Closed on Tuesdays) 🚘Parking space O 💐Because it's in the mountains, you have to go up and down quite a bit, so comfortable shoes are a must! While I was taking pictures, the staff asked me to make them look pretty and took my picture too, but I wonder if they liked it🥺 Today, I forgot that I have acrophobia and rode a sky bike..😅 I really held my hands tightly, trembled, and cried while riding, but in the middle of it, the kids at the daycare below said hello, so I said hello again. Today, I was me.. #JinjuTravel #JinjuHotPlace #JinjuInTheForestofWolasan

Spener, and iced tea that doesn't make you fat! - In particular, among the menus, the croffle with a generous portion and the coffee with a rich flavor that doesn't taste sour are the best 🤩 And I liked that there was no unpleasant aftertaste like "Ahhh" after drinking it all! - They said that if the ice cream on top of the croffle is not enough, they'll give you more.

A cafe that is serious about coffee. I went there last year and came back after a long time, and I was surprised by the small portion. These days, espresso is basically 5,000 won.. It was 3,000 wonㅠㅠ Disappointed by the portion. A space where you can enjoy delicious coffee in a quiet town. It's also very pretty to take pictures of. It's attractive because there's the pleasure of looking at the props in the space. #cafe #cafe recommendation #coffee restaurant #Jinju cafe

#Cafe with a good view #Namgang view #Aora #Jinju cafe Cafe Aora where you can enjoy the Namgang view properly☕️ The indoor ceiling is high, so the indoor seats are nice, but the outdoor seats are the truth✨ There are outdoor seats on the first floor and a rooftop on the third floor There are also full-glass seats and sofa seats on the first floor, but since the Namgang River is blocked by the terrace, I recommend the second floor seats indoors! I used the rooftop seat, and it was so nice to sit on a beanbag and drink coffee while watching the sunset over Namgang River You can also see the rail bike passing behind the building on the third floor! ✔️Location: 17 Mangyeong-ro, Naedong-myeon, Jinju-si, Gyeongsangnam-do ✔️Business hours: 10:00 - 22:30 (last order 22:00) ✔️Parking available

Address: 356-6 Gangnam-ro, Jinju-si, Gyeongnam Atmosphere/Facilities: It's a great place to relax with lush green grass and calm river water. People were picnicking here and there. My friend and I also sat down nearby. I think it was even better because the grass and river water were clean. There was a bathroom nearby, and it was clean as expected! The atmosphere was great~ Key Points: I recommend staying from day to night! The view of Namgang River is different during the day and at night! And if you want to stay until night, it would be good to have a one-touch tent. If you find it difficult to prepare, you can rent a picnic nearby. Average price per person: Free Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #Jinju #JinjuTravel #JinjuNamgang #JinjuNamgangPicnic

📍Suryuheon -16, Bibong-ro 39beon-gil, Jinju-si, Gyeongnam These days, Jinju Hanhan neighborhood is said to be the Education Support Office area?🔥 So I visited my hometown and met a friend while I was there~ 👋 There were many delicious restaurants and prop shops nearby, and among them, I visited a Hanok cafe with a pretty garden!👭 It didn't have a huge garden like the large cafes these days, but it had a cute and cozy atmosphere.☺️ It was a cafe atmosphere that went very well with the building that was renovated from a Hanok. The furniture was full of antique chairs and decorations,🪑 and there was a separate exhibition space on one side of the cafe where modern art pieces were displayed.🖼 I regretted not being able to see the lush garden in the winter, but I heard that the garden becomes even more beautiful in the summer!🌳🌲 The cats are napping in the garden, and they're so cute that I can't stop looking at them! 🐱 - Business hours🕑: 11:00~22:00 (until 18:00 on Sundays) - Even at night, the lights are beautifully turned on, so you can feel the tranquility of the Hanok even better💖 - The breads baked directly were also delicious!🥯🥐🥖 #Cafe with a good view #Jinju travel #Jinju cafe

#SpringFlowers This year's first flower viewing is with red plum blossoms🌸 📍Jinju Plum Blossom Forest I went there because they said the red plum blossoms were over 50% bloomed, but only 20% were in bloom,, but they were still pretty💕 I took pictures while looking for trees that were still in bloom😛 It is expected to be at its peak after March 10th, and since it is a private plum orchard, they say it will only be open until March 12th :) Date of filming: 2023.03.01

It feels like Christmas. The classy atmosphere is so nice. I highly recommend the delicious coffee and dessert. It's a bit pricey, but I love that there are coupons.

Coffee Captain It's nice to take mirror shots. The menu is diverse. The desserts are also diverse. The taste is okay. Takeout -300 won. It has a Christmas feel. Ju-chang uses the apartment parking lot.

#JinjuTravel #Jinyangho #CherryBlossomViewing 📍Jinyangho I thought I failed to hunt for cherry blossoms because the cherry blossoms bloomed later than expected this spring, but when I went to a corner of Jinyangho, there were cherry blossoms in full bloom. There was also a bit of a lake view, so the pictures turned out pretty.

#JinjuTravel #JinjuYudengFestival #JinjuNamgangYudengFestival 📍JinjuNamgangYudengFestival There are many lanterns at the JinjuNamgangYudengFestival, so it's really pretty. In particular, there's one with a dinosaur theme, and there are lanterns from each company on the Namgang River :-) It might be fun to look for your company as you pass by.

Jinju, 1 hour and 20 minutes from Busan Yudeng Festival. It is a unique Korean tourist attraction that catches the attention of travelers with various events such as nighttime viewing, food, and entertainment. It starts at the peak of autumn, the most beautiful time of the year. How about leaving a life photo here?

#JinjuTravel #JinjuNamgangYudeungFestival #MentalVehicle 📍JinjuTravel If you visit Jinju during the JinjuYudeungFestival season, I hope you spend time at a cafe like us, eat at a good restaurant, and go to the YudeungFestival!! Last year, it was a unique experience to see a cafe with a Christmas atmosphere because it was held in the winter.

#JinjuTravel #JinjuRestaurant #JinjuSot 📍Jinju ㅅㅗㅌ I thought the name was Sot, but it was actually a restaurant called ㅅㅗㅌ, so I was surprised. It was so delicious because it came out cleanly like a neat home-cooked meal. I think it has moved now, but even after moving, it is still operated by reservation, so please make a reservation before visiting.!

There is a famous restaurant called Yujeongjang-eo in Jinju-si, Gyeongnam! You can eat fresh and plentiful eels at a reasonable price, so it is popular in the nearby neighborhood.🤤 The store is spacious and comfortable, so it is perfect for various gatherings or important occasions, and I often visit there :) It is located near Jinjuseong, so it is perfect for stopping by after sightseeing, so please visit it when you travel to Jinju 😆 #Restaurant #JinjuTravel #HotPlace
