2025 Taebaek-si Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#flowerblossom #100waysoftravel Flower viewing is part of my hobby and this time, I traveled down to view the blossoming of sunflower. There is a vast field with tens of thousands of sunflower being planted at the flower bed, and the blossoming is peak at that time. You can see the vast yellow flower in the middle of Taebaek mountain which gives you a very nice scenery behind the scene. Besides, there are also wild cosmos beside the sunflowers and this adds more colours to the picture. Journey could be a bit far and hilly but it's worth the travel. Will definitely do this again.

On a snowy day, Taebaek Mountain is simply a very beautiful park. When my friend and I reached the summit, we were at a loss for words to describe the place, and the view was clearly an eternal expanse of snow-covered hills. After visiting about 12 of Korea's great national parks, the scenery I was fortunate enough to see at Taebaek Mountain was of the highest value. I started to enjoy walking and playing with snow in Yeokelsa, and there was a distance from Taebaek Station to this place. The walk can be done in less than two hours. The beauty of Korea's mountain ranges is that every peak is really great, and you can walk a long distance in a day. Like many of Korea's sacred mountains, Now, when I think of the wild beauty of Gangwon Province and the elements of nature, I think of Taebaek Mountain. It may be surprising because Seoraksan National Park is located in the same province. Seoraksan is undoubtedly exceptional and surpasses Taebaek Mountain in beauty, but Taebaek Mountain is unique to you and the mountain itself.

1. Gumunso When you see it in person, it is a place where you can exclaim in amazement because of its mysterious atmosphere That is why I often visit this place every time I go there, and it is one of Taebaek's representative tourist attractions designated as a natural monument, so you should definitely visit it at least once! ℹ️The parking lot is well-maintained and it is not crowded, so it is easy to look around. 2. Taeseongsilbi Taebaek, famous for its briquette ribs. A place where you can eat high-quality Korean beef (galbisal) grilled with real briquettes at a slightly cheaper price. Eating special cuts here is not cheap, but it is real briquette fire, so it has the same atmosphere and taste as this place, so I visit it often! 🧭4 Gamcheon-ro, Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do ⏰️10:30-21:30

Since it was upgraded from a provincial park to a national park, it's been better maintained. Personally, I don't think Taebaeksan is that hard. I heard the Snow Festival is starting, so I'll visit^^ #Taebaeksan#SnowFlowerFestival

My mom loves hiking so much that I've been following her hiking latelyㅎㅎ I heard there was a lot of snow on Taebaeksan so I dressed warmly and went to see the snowy scenery. It was cold but really pretty🏞 I think hiking is the best way to see the snowy scenery👍 #Gangwon-do travel #Hiking #Taebaeksan #Mountain tour #Snowy scenery

#IndoorDate#TaebaekTravel Among the restaurants you must visit at least once when you go to Taebaek, this is the Muldak Galbi restaurant. Muldak Galbi is a food that was originally made in Taebaek by coal miners who poured broth over the chicken ribs to make it easier to swallow. It's a taste that you'll keep coming back for once you try it! This is already my 5th visit, and in the winter, it's a restaurant where you can enjoy it even more fragrantly because there's a lot of radish greens. - - 📍Taebaek Dakgalbi 10 Jungangnam 1-gil, Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do

#March travel support event #Manhangjae #Wind power generator After visiting Sapporo, I wanted to see snow again as an aftereffect, so I went there I applied for drone filming and filmed and enjoyed the snow It had been snowing for a while, so there was no snow on the trees, but if it snows, it seems like a place that is not jealous of Hokkaido to easily go by car and see the snow.

Why is this place so pretty?🥹 The Taebaek Snow Festival ended a while ago, but it still feels like the sculptures and festival site are still there.

During my summer trip, I visited a famous restaurant in Taebaek called ⭐️Busan Potato Ongsimi⭐️. This place is known for its soft and delicious Ongsimi Kalguksu. Located inside Hwangji Free Market, it opens early in the morning, making it a great spot for breakfast. The menu is not extensive, so it's easy to choose and order your meal quickly. However, the restaurant is small, so there is often a long wait during peak hours. 🎯38-136, Hwangji-dong, Taebaek-si, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province
