Trip Moments Recommendations
The vast shrine of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, like the sea, is the Asan Hyochangsa.
The cherry trees at the entrance and the western apricot flowers
warmly welcome visitors like the smile of Admiral Yi Sun-sin.
Asan's Hyochangsa is a shrine dedicated to honoring General Yi Sun-sin.
The old trees grow vigorously on the wide land,
and the view in front of Hyochangsa is refreshingly open.
If you want to take a leisurely and reverent walk,
it's the perfect place!
🌳 Address
: 126, Hyochangsa-gil, Eumchi-eup, Asan-si, Chungcheongnam-do
🌻 Admission
: Free
⚘ Tip
: The stairs leading up to Hyochangsa are quite high,
but there is a path on the right side that allows you to climb without stairs.
The video viewing space on the basement level 1
is similar to a general immersive art (real experience) exhibition,
so make sure to watch it from beginning to end.
There may be many children running around,
but the video is worth watching in its entirety.
Australia is the best.
Newcastle, Australia, is perfect for a day trip near Sydney! The sea is really clear, and there are so many sights to see that you can spend a fulfilling day!
The pool near the beach is my favorite. Personally, I think it's even prettier than the most famous pool in Sydney. The sunset is also truly fantastic!

My Little Hideaway Two Huts
Hello, I'm backpacker key!!
Today, I'd like to introduce you to a place in Pai, a small rural village in the northernmost part of Thailand.
It's called two huts.
Two huts is one of the representative cafes in Pai.
It's beautiful during the day, but if you go at sunset,
you can see a fantastic view.
Additionally, there's a live song performance during the sunset hours,
with beer + sunset + live music 🤩
How about taking a trip to Pai for your next vacation?
The Hippest Place in Shanghai: Tianzifang.
The first place I visited upon arriving in Shanghai_
Tianzifang is the ultimate destination for both glitz and tranquility!
Overflowing with things to see and eat both day and night,
the streets are so full of photo spots that it's hard to choose just one picture.
Such a beautiful place_Tianzifang
It's still not widely known, so you can enjoy the quiet atmosphere,
which made for such a happy time..!🌸
Apgujeong Rodeo, a life-changing gourmet spot.
📍Hojokban Cheongdam
The combination of seasoned assorted ribs + perilla oil buckwheat noodles + truffle potato pancakes,,
Can you imagine it?
The classic combination of sweet, salty, and nutty was truly the best 🥹
It's a life-changing gourmet spot in Apgujeong Rodeo haha
It's a popular spot so you have to do an open run (arrive at least 30 minutes before opening time)
to barely avoid waiting,
but it's worth it! Be sure to visit :)
Cost-effective Izakaya [Dantori]
I visited the Japanese-style izakaya Dantori in Osaka!
Chicken skin skewers are only 900 won and draft beer is just 1,900 won...!
It's a place full of Japanese ambiance, and the prices are so reasonable.
Personally, I found the chicken neck skewers to be the tastiest,
and the bean powder + sugar-coated bean mochi skewers were also a unique delicacy.
I recommend it as a cost-effective izakaya ✨
Tongyeong D.P.Rang.
D.P.Rang is a place that presents a media show with a story that the murals, which have disappeared from Tongyeong's famous mural villages Dongpirang and Seopirang, come back to life.
It is the longest night-time digital theme park in Korea, born by applying media art technology, located in Namhangsan Park.
It felt like I had entered a village where avatars come to life.
If you find traveling has become mundane, try visiting Jordan!!
I recommend a road trip in Jordan.
It was a fresh and moving experience.
The scenery is spectacular everywhere, and the people are friendly, often greeting with 'Hello'. I've grown fond of Jordan.
I would love to go again if I have the chance.
Life's sunset at the Dead Sea is a bonus.
Monastery in Petra
Al-Khazneh in Petra
Wadi Rum
Bohol Snorkeling Spot, Napaling Point 🫧.
📍napaling drive, Panglao, Bohol
Thanks to the beautiful underwater scenery and clear sea,
Bohol is also known as a paradise for freediving 💙
Among them, Napaling Point is
a place with underwater cliffs, making it great for taking pictures!
Even if you can't freedive,
you can still see colorful fish just by snorkeling,
so if you like to play in the water, I recommend visiting 😊
Even when the weather is cloudy, the underwater visibility in Bohol is clear,
so it seems like a good place to visit anytime ㅎㅎ
I hope you get to experience the beautiful sea of Bohol 🎶

Recommended Busan Outing Destinations! - Huinnyeoul Culture Village
If you're traveling to Busan, South Korea, there's always a place you must visit! It's the Haenyeo's house by the sea at Huinnyeoul Culture Village. There, you can eat sea squirts, octopus, abalone, and more caught by the Haenyeo herself, along with a drink!
Above all, the path itself is so beautiful that you'll lose track of time while strolling ღ•͈ᴗ•͈ღ
📍Huinnyeoul Culture Village
Address: 1043 Yeongseon-dong 4(sa)-ga, Yeongdo-gu, Busan, South Korea
Retro vibes at
In the past, cafes were called coffee shops, and even before that, they were known as teahouses. Although I've never actually been to a teahouse, Peace Teahouse is a recreation of that concept often seen in period movies or dramas.
I went there with a close friend who is 10 years older than me, but it felt like a place that parents or grandparents would really enjoy if you go with them. It was also nice to enjoy the place leisurely as there weren't many people around during the weekday.
🟢Address: 2nd Floor, 10 Gangnam-daero 94-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
Singapore is a place to go for healing rather than food broadcasts.
My purpose of going to Singapore is to feel the lush green nature. People usually go there for food broadcasts, but Singapore has a world-class botanic garden that is a harmonious blend of nature and artificiality, recognized even as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's an incredible place for healing! Among them, the intimate rainforest is like the yolk of an egg. Even Changi Airport is famous for its artificial waterfall, but in fact, it's the greenery of the indoor gardens that makes your eyes comfortable and your heart peaceful. If you're going to Singapore and want some quiet time, I highly recommend the botanic gardens.
The towering Tokyo Skytree reaching high into the sky!
1️⃣ If you've seen the Tokyo Tower, you should definitely visit the Tokyo Skytree too haha
2️⃣ It's the largest structure in Japan and a landmark representing Tokyo!
3️⃣ The Tokyo Skytree is also used as a broadcasting tower!
📍 1 Chome-1-2 Oshiage, Sumida City, Tokyo 131-0045 Japan
Ascending to Cheongryangsa Temple founded by Great Master Wonhyo and Great Master Uisang.
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'.
Visit the National Buyeo Museum to see the Baekje Gold Bronze Incense Burner!
Spring outing in Buyeo left a memorable museum visit!
A place where you can meet the Baekje Gold Bronze Incense Burner that you only saw in textbooks
Admission is free, and you can enjoy media art in the center of the lobby on the hour. From various lotus patterns to roof tiles, the intricacy of the Gold Bronze Incense Burner is so astonishing that you'll find yourself examining it carefully in 360 degrees.
Visit the retro vibe of Joyang Textile Mill!
1️⃣ It's a cafe remodeled from an old textile factory, so it feels like you've stepped back in time!
2️⃣ Despite the crowd, I lost track of time looking at the antiques placed here and there 🤣
3️⃣ If I come back to Ganghwa Island, I'll definitely stop by Joyang Textile Mill again! I recommend it to you all ㅎㅎ
📍 12 Hyangnamu-gil 5beon-gil, Ganghwa-eup, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, Joyang Textile Mill

A lodging in Jeju that makes every moment perfect.
I've been to an all-time great accommodation this time!
It's a place called Stressless located in Jeju Island.
Situated in Aewol/Jocheon, it's also close to the airport.
Take the direct bus No. 101 and it's a 40-minute ride plus a 10-minute walk!
Even without a car, it's easy to move around.
The outdoor swimming pool can be heated, so you can enjoy it warmly day and night.
The view is amazing, and the accommodation is
neat and stylish, truly a happy place.
The rooms are too small for more than two people to stay!
The Majestic Lotte World Tower!
1️⃣ You can see the towering 123-story Lotte World Tower from anywhere in Seoul, and I've seen it up close!
2️⃣ Right below the building, you have to tilt your neck 90 degrees to see the entire building haha
3️⃣ Lotte World is right next door, so it's a very exciting area where you can have fun all day long haha
4️⃣ Since you can actually see Lotte World Tower from anywhere in Seoul, I don't think I'll miss it that much in the future 🤣
📍300 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul
