I went to Yeongam and visited Wolchulsan National Park, where there was a sculpture park. The Wolchulsan National Park Sculpture Park is decorated with works by about 20 famous domestic artists in the Cheonhwangsa Temple area of ​​Wolchulsan National Park. The sculpture park, created against the backdrop of the majestic rock peaks of Sajabong, Maebong, and Janggunbong, the scenic spots of Wolchulsan, is located on a 5,000㎡ site along the walking trail of Wolchulsan. Wolchulsan is more of a giant work of art made of rocks than a mountain, and the sculpture park was created on Wolchulsan, which is called an exhibition hall of strangely shaped rocks, so you can appreciate the works of art created by nature and humans at the same time! I went for a walk in nature with my children and saw some amazing sculptures and they were amazed. #places to go with kids #Wolchulsan National Park #Wolchulsan Sculpture Park #places to visit in Yeongam

There is an insect museum in Yeongam, and since my kids like insects, I went there because there was a special firefly exhibition:) Fireflies live in really clean places. Yeongam, where nature and its natural habitats are alive, is home to Unmunsan, Aebandi, and Latebandi. It would be nice to make good memories with your kids by watching fireflies in Yeongam, which has a clean environment. You can see and touch them, and the fireflies even glow!! They say that fireflies breed around the end of July, so you can see more fireflies, so it would be nice to visit then. Yeongam Insect Museum Address: 41 Gichan Land-ro, Yeongam-eup, Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do Opening hours: 10:00-17:00 (Closed every Monday) Inquiries: 061)461-4300 #Places to go with kids #Yeongam Insect Museum #Yeongam Travel #Yeongam #Places to visit in Yeongam

📍Yeongam ‘Samrakjeong Land’ - This is a place where you can ride a water sled!! Not a snow sled, but a water sled!! 🌊💙💙 - It was my first time riding it, and although it looked low, it was soooooo much fun!! (It was actually quite high when I rode it ••!) - The kids loved it too!! I really recommend coming with your family 💖💖 #swimming pool #hot place #water sled #Yeongam travel

The scale of the Hanok Hotel Yeongsanjae can be felt from afar, and a cute duck sculpture greets guests right in front. There is a lobby lounge that helps with check-in, and shops selling simple goods next to the check-in counter, so the check-in and check-out time is not boring at all. You can also see a breakfast restaurant next to it. I made two reservations by mistake that day, but the staff kindly took care of it for me^^ It is a hotel with many good memories, and the exterior photo is still nice even when I look at it again^^ #Ho-kang-seu #Hanok-hotel #Yeongsanjae #Yeongam-travel

#Hiking ✌🏻Wolchulsan ✔️Location: 280-43 Cheonhwangsa-ro, Yeongam-eup, Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do Wolchulsan was a place where I was ecstatic with its breathtaking scenery. It was so beautiful that I was happy every time I took a step, and it was nice to be able to breathe in plenty of fresh air. The mountain covered in clouds was a work of art.

#Hiking Location: 280-43 Cheonhwangsa-ro, Yeongam-eup, Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do Spring, summer, and fall are all beautiful, but I think the exotic beauty of the winter mountains is truly unrivaled. The beautiful scenery, as if I had entered a winter kingdom, is still vivid in my memory. Safety is always the top priority, so everyone, hike safely!🗻

#FlowerViewing ✌🏻Yeongsanjae Lavender ✔️Location: 126-17 Nabul-oe-ro, Samho-eup, Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do Yeongsanjae was full of beautiful lavender. It was nice to smell the lavender and strong lavender scent embroidered in front of Yeongsanjae, a hanok hotel. The walking path was well-made, so it was nice to walk.

[Pretty Cherry Blossom Road in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do, Wangin Doctor’s Historic Site] For those of you looking for a cherry blossom spot in Jeollanam-do, I’ll introduce you to the Wangin Doctor’s Historic Site : ) I visited this place two years ago, and I had only heard that it was the place with the prettiest cherry blossoms in Jeollanam-do, but I was surprised when I saw it with my own eyes 💗 There were really big cherry blossom trees, and tulips and forsythia were blooming here and there, creating a beautiful landscape 🌷 The Wangin Doctor’s Festival is held every year to coincide with the cherry blossom season, but this year, it will be held in a non-face-to-face/untact format from April 1 to 16 👀 Please note! #YeongamTravel #SpringIsHere #UnderCherryBlossoms #Picnic

#cherryblossom25 Gurim Village in Yeongam is known for its cultural history and traditional art studios, but in spring, it’s the cherry blossoms that steal the spotlight. Walking through narrow lanes with hanok houses and pottery workshops, I was delighted to see cherry trees blooming around every corner. Artists had their easels set up under the blossoms, and the whole place felt like a living gallery. There’s a gentle, artistic energy in the air that makes you slow down and really appreciate the season. It’s a quiet, off-the-beaten-path destination full of charm, culture, and springtime grace.

#Ho-kangs #LahanHotel #LahanHotelMokpo #EmotionalHo-kangs LahanHotel Mokpo branch has an ocean view that is a work of art If you choose an ocean view room, you can see the colorful Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries shipyard and small islands It feels like you've fallen into a small Lego village It's good for a small healing vacation with friends The breakfast was so delicious that I recommend it 📍Hotel Hyundai by Lahan Mokpo branch 🚘 Free parking available in the dedicated parking lot

I'd like to introduce this place where I stayed during my 2-day, 1-night trip to Mokpo. As the name suggests, it's a place where I have warm memories. The 24-hour warm water pool and indoor jacuzzi are great for relaxing your tired body while traveling, and the living room with large windows is great for healing while looking out the window.☺️ To finish, watch a movie on the beam in the attic, eat snacks, play games, and chat, and it's a perfect day to remember❤️ 📍Nam-eun Stay ▫️28-7 Yongdang 1-gil, Samho-eup, Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do ▫️Check-in 15:00 / Check-out 11:00 ▫️Standard 4 people, maximum 8 people / 3 rooms, 3 beds, 2 bathrooms ▫️Lukewarm water pool, indoor jacuzzi, beam projector, standby me This is a place that can accommodate up to 8 people, so it's a great place to come with family even if it's not a friendship trip. It's a whopping 150 pyeong in size..!! #March travel support event #Mokpo travel

#Ho-kang-seu #Mokpo-travel #Lahan-hotel 📍Location: 91 Daebul-ro, Samho-eup, Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do 📍The name includes Mokpo, but the location is Yeongam. That means it's close to Mokpo!! It takes about 20 minutes by taxi from Mokpo Station. You can see Mokpo Bridge from the accommodation. It's better to travel by car than by public transportation. 📍There's a massage chair in the exhibition hall on the first floor, so it's good for relieving fatigue after traveling. There's also a convenience store, ocean view cafe, and breakfast buffet. However, since there are no restaurants or cafes around, I recommend staying at the hotel. 📍The ocean and Hyundai Shipyard are right outside, so it's good to take a walk while looking around.

Mokpo City, located in the southwestern part of South Korea, is a charming coastal city known for its rich history, delicious seafood, and stunning natural scenery. The city offers attractions like Yudalsan Mountain, which provides panoramic views of the harbor, and the Mokpo Modern History Museum, reflecting the city’s cultural heritage. Visitors can also enjoy a relaxing stroll along the Mokpo Marine Cable Car, one of the longest cable cars in Asia, offering breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding islands. For accommodation, Hotel Hyundai by Lahan is a top choice. Overlooking the picturesque Mokpo waterfront, this hotel provides luxurious rooms, excellent amenities, and easy access to popular attractions. Guests can enjoy modern comforts while experiencing the warm hospitality of the region. The hotel’s on-site dining options serve both local and international cuisines, making it a convenient and enjoyable stay for travelers.#mokpo #Mokpotravels #HotelHyundaiByLahan #visitkorea Getting There - by public bus (est 2000krw) Attractions - sightseeing, seaview, ship spotting Hotels - hyundai by lahan Food & Restaurants - Shopping - there’s few restaurants in the hotel that serve fresh meat and seafood (called The Gourmet)
