  • Chungwoon Literature Library

    I am recently into neighborhoods of Buam-dong, Chebu-dong, Cheongun-dong, and Gahoe-dong in Seoul. Those neighborhoods all belong to Jongno-gu and none of them is well-known as a tourist attraction. Indeed, I can’t think of any famous landmark in those areas.

  • A Summer Holiday In Gangwon-do

    Yangyang and Sokcho in Gangwon-do have been popular weekend trip destinations in recent years. This popularity has risen thanks to the Seoul–Yangyang Expressway, which enables the travel between Seoul and Yangyang within 2.5 hours.

  • Yachting on The Han River

    Seoul is a metropolitan city and it is absolutely breathtaking to overlook this huge city from up on high. The most well known view point of Seoul is N Seoul Tower. N Seoul Tower – A Romantic Island in the City N Seoul Tower is a great place, of course. However, I personally prefer Naksan Park when […]

  • Christmas in Seoul City

    It’s Christmas season. Unlike most Western countries, Christmas in Korea is mainly for young lovers. It is considered to be the most romantic day of the year (yeah it is almost like Valentine’s Day). I know, it is quite strange but I am not really sure why Christmas has become a day for lovers. However, nowadays more and more […]
