Chokseongnu Pavilion, one of Korea's three main pavilions in marvelous Jinju

Chokseongnu Pavilion, one of Korea's three main pavilions in marvelous Jinju 


Chosun.com Media Report Team



Welcome to the beautiful river city of Jinju, Gyeongnam. Jinju, which means "pearl" in Korean, is characterized by a tranquil river, sculptures drifting above the water and a grandeur cliff. 

Here you can experience traditional Korean culture of the past and present. Don't miss a chance to also visit Chokseongnu Pavilion, chosen by CNN Go as one of the top 50 Korean tourist attractions. 


<Photo One. Jinju's most renowned tourist spot, Jinjuseong Fortress>


There are many ways to reach Jinju, but for your safe and comfortable trip, book an express bus ticket.

If you've yet drawn up your itinerary and don't know where to start, head straight to Jinjuseong Fortress, a lively battle field historically linked to the Japanese invasion in 1592.

There are three entrances at the castle, and you can pass through whichever one. But for an impeccable tour, walk through the door at the very right and look around Jinju National Museum first. From there on, you can meet the fortress and Chokseongnu Pavilion.


<Photo Two. At the Jinju National Museum in Jinjuseong Fortress, you can experience traditional Korean culture and history.>


Jinju National Museum was founded to become Korea's first historic museum solely concentrated on the Imjin War (1592-98). The museum is divided into several zones by theme and era, each filled with artifacts and documentaries of the bloody battle. In the darkroom, you will find earthen potteries, ceramics, calligraphic works and craft works, all that guide you through Korea's rich history and culture. 

After a tour around the museum, walk along the fortress and gaze upon Nam River, home to the Namgang Yudeung Festival held every October. 


<Photo Three. Chokseongnu Pavilion, chosen as one of the top 50 places you must visit by CNN Go, boasts of a fairy tale-like nightscape.>


Chokseongnu Pavilion is one of Korea's three main pavilions, characterized by a tall cliff soaring up from the grand Nam River. Catch the picturesque sunset and nightscape from Euiam, a rock located below the pavilion, or from a bank across the river. 

Euiam is an emotionally charged historical hot spot where a Korean geisha sacrificed her life during the Imjin War of Japanese invasions (1592-98). Visitors can hop onto the rock as well, but watch your step for the currents are rapid. From here, you can see the elegant roof curves of Chokseongnu Pavilion, matched with a clear blue sky.  


<Photo Four. Euiam (rock) below Chokseongnu Pavilion> 


After a stroll around Jinju, time for dinner! Jinju's specialty is bibimbap and naengmyeon (cold noodles). Bibimbap is originated from a dish made by leftovers from ancestral rites, all mixed together in a single bowl. The localized dish in Jinju is topped with raw meat, so don't miss out on this special opportunity!

Naengmyeon in Jinju is made by buckwheat and kimchi, topped with pork or meat. They soy sauce broth and ice cubes added at the very end spice up the coolness of this summer dish, also enjoyed during winter. If you're not up for cold noodles, freshwater fish stew is another treat you can relish.  

Jinju doesn't have a city tour bus, so get around by public transit. For more information, visit the Jinju cultural tourism homepage at: http://english.jinju.go.kr/

Korea's most beautiful Hwangsan Village in Geochang, Gyeongnam

Korea's most beautiful Hwangsan Village in Geochang, Gyeongnam 
-Murals of humorous Korean taste

Chosun.com Media Report Team

The shoulder-high fences, wild flowers blossomed in between and enjoyable wall paintings all contribute to creating a pleasant Korean vibe in a village renowned to be the country's most stunning.
Hwangsan Village is divided into two sectors by a stream. On one side is a village with red clay fences, and on the other is one with witty murals. At the entrance of the village, a 600-year-old gargantuan tree will greet you with grandeur.

 <Photo One. Geochang, Gyeongnam's Hwangsan Village presents a window into Korea's past.>


The village once filled with over 200 houses now merely holds 20. The fences here are made out of natural rocks and red clay, which materials trigger an earthy smell. Bulky natural rocks are lined in two rows, topped with a row of fist-sized rocks and red clay. 
It may look a bit dull, but the village's red clay fences highlight the pitch-black roof tiles of the houses and show a romantic side of traditional Korea that you can find nowhere else. The fences here were in fact designated as a cultural property of preservation.

<Photo Two. Hwangsan Village's rock fences were designated as a cultural property.>

The houses' front gates are all open in Hwangsan Village, a typical scene you can find in the Korean countrysides. 
Follow the rock fences, and you will see artistic murals of the village's natural landscape and history drawn by professional artists from the Korean Fine Arts Association in 2011. The bull painting and turtle rock particularly stand out from the bunch.

<Photo Three. Feel the liveliness of the murals in Hwangsan Village.>

The wall paintings are stellar, but what's even more eye-catching are the murals made out of marble and tiles. Snap a shot in front of these walls of 3-D artistry! Some houses even topped the fences with sculptures, so make sure to keep your eyes wide open on every corner of your trip. 
Feeling a bit wistful about your short trip? Spend a night at Hwangsan Village, where 18 lodging houses are waiting for your travel back in time to a traditional Korean lifestyle. Experience ondol, or Korean floor heating system, along with the kitchen fireplace. 

<Photo Four. 18 lodging houses are specially prepared for visitors.> 

Near the village you will find Suseung-dae (peak), a scenic spot of the 16th century where SBS drama "That Winter, the Wind Blows" was filmed at. It's also home to the Geochang International Festival of Theatre, yearly held from July to August. For more information, visit the homepage of Geochang Hwangsan Village.

Enjoy winter sports in Korea's southernmost area, Eden Valley Resort.

Enjoy winter sports in Korea's southernmost area, Eden Valley Resort.

Chosun.com Media Report Team


In Yangsan, Gyeongnam, Eden Valley Resort is crowded all throughout the year with frantic tourists out for golf, horse riding and a splash in the water park.

The ski grounds are especially bustling during winter. Strangely enough, Eden Valley Resort is located in the southern area, unlike others which are up in the colder regions.

The resort stands at 800m above sea level with the average temperature maintained at 5 degrees Celsius below zero, so no worries for ice-melting.



<Photo One. The Eden Valley ski ground in Yangsan, Gyeongnam>





You can enjoy a day's rest at the Eden Valley ski ground, but we recommend lodging a couple of days to fully enjoy the fun. Weekend reservations are normally packed, so make sure you call in advance!



After you've made your reservation, head on to the resort. No need to carry around your heavy ski equipment because the resort is equipped with rental service. You can also find rental shops near the resort, where they additionally offer pick-up service, too.



If you're bound to use the rental service within the resort, purchase a rental ticket at the booth. Write down your identification information on the back of your ticket and submit it with your ID card. Foreigners can submit their passports or certificate of alien registration. For more information about the lift and rental service, check the Eden Valley Resort homepage.

The quality of snow is most crucial for skiers and snowboarders alike, for it tends to add thrill to their rides. Sunlight is nowhere to be seen in Eden Valley Resort, which climatic factor maintains iciness throughout all opening hours.

Also, you can choose among a variety of level courses, so no need to worry if you're a beginner. Seven slopes and four rifts for each sector are prepared.

Wait until you reach the top of the slope and see a very special panorama. The wind generator piercing through the sky with the snow-blanketed resort sprawled below create an exotic scenery. 

<Photo Two. The wind generator piercing through the sky with the snow-blanketed resort sprawled below create an exotic scenery. >



A glide in the winter breeze will tense your muscles, so how about a nice hot steamy bath at the resort's hot spring?

The water, pumped from 1030 meters underground, will heal your muscle pain and purify your skin. During winter, it is provided at the resort sauna and guest rooms, and during summer, at the winter park swimming pool.


<Photo Three. The sauna hot spring in Eden Valley Resort>



After a glide in the winter snow, return to your lodging in a resort filled with 550 guest houses of various sizes: 16 pyeong, 23 pyeong, 32 pyeong and 46 pyeong (1 pyeong = 3.3 square meters). Each room is equipped with a 42-inch LCD TV and a DVD home theater with the highest quality of sounds. 

Additional facilities include a screen golf course, pool table, arcade, foot volleyball field, survival ground and ATV.


<Photo Four. Clockwise from top: Eden Valley Resort guesthouse; the ski ground; and the veranda.>
 


Before heading off to the Eden Valley Resort, log on to the official website and browse through. The "Webcam" shows you vivid images of the ski ground's slopes and scenery, while the "Field Sketch" takes you on a photo journey of the ground. 

Eden Valley Resort's ski ground will be open until early March this year, so this is your last chance to enjoy winter sports!

Coastal Resort Offers Golf and Spa Against an Ocean Backdrop

Coastal Resort Offers Golf and Spa Against an Ocean Backdrop



Those wanting to escape the bitter cold this month can head to warmer climes on the southern coast for some much-needed rest and relaxation. 





Namhae in South Gyeongsang Province in particular has much to offer tourists at this time of year, including its Mijo Port, German Village and Bori Hermitage. In addition to the beautiful scenery, Hilton Namhae Golf and Spa Resort is another great reason to visit this charming town by the sea.


While at the resort, guests never feel far from the sea. As most of the rooms face south and the sea-facing walls are made of glass, visitors can relax while taking in sweeping ocean views.


The resort boasts four kinds of rooms -- simple and modern studio suites, deluxe suites for families, super deluxe suites with spacious rooms and luxurious interiors, and grand villas for those who seek more privacy. Built with eco-friendly materials, the villas adopt a modern style that sits in harmony with nature and each have two bathrooms, two living rooms, a swimming pool and a small garden.


Guests also can enjoy the experience of playing the golf with the sea as a backdrop. As hole No. 4 on the course is carved into a rockwall, the green appears as if it is floating on the sea. With the sea immediately ahead, the 7th, 13th and 16th tee shots add more fun.

Another selling point of the resort is how it looks under the glowing beauty of the setting sun. Sunset can be viewed from anywhere in the resort, but the terrace of the restaurant on the second floor and the outdoor spa are arguably the best spots to soak up the beautiful scenery at this time of day.


The book cafe near the reception area is also well worth a visit. When chatting with a companion in this cozy and relaxed ambience while enjoying some coffee, tea or sandwiches, guests will feel relaxed and stress-free. The comfortable sofas and calming music add to the de-stressing atmosphere.

Hansan Island, two worlds of history and nature combined

Hansan Island, two worlds of history and nature combined


Chosun.com Media Report Team media@chosun.com



"I possibly can't describe what's spread before me," a renowned Korean poet once said after taking a glance of Hansan Island.


Hansan Island of the southern sea is a living history book where the naval Battle of Hansando (1592), one of the world's four greatest naval wars, took place. 



<Photo One - The beautiful southern island, Hansando>




In order to arrive in one of Korea's most popular tourist attractions, you must ride a passenger ship from Tongyeong, Gyeongnam, which operates every hour. 


During the 30-minute ride, the sea will welcome you with islands of various sizes. Pass the crab-shaped Haegap Island, and you will soon arrive at Hansan Island, where the edged mountains and hills resemble a pair of arms widely open. 




<Photo Two - While riding a cruise ship to Hansan Island, savor the entrancing ocean scenery.> 





Tourists disembark from the ride and disperse to their desired destinations. There are many ways to get around in Hansan Island, like by car, bike or public transportation. But if you have extra time, try traveling on foot. 

The closest tourist venue from the dock is Yeomgae Foreshore, where various sea animals like clams and gray mullets live in. Back in the battle days against Japan, this spot used to be an area for burning military salt. 




<Photo Three - Collect your own clams at Yeomgae Foreshore.>





Yeomgae Foreshore is filled with tourists squatted down, digging out clams for a nice hot stew or grill.

After a hard dig in the mud, relax in nearby Bongam Mongdol Beach, a scenic paradise saturated with pebbles of all sizes and colors. Close your eyes and listen to the waves breaking on the shore.




<Photo Four-Gorgeously posed Bongam Mongdol Beach>




There's no other place like Hansan Island when you want to learn about the rich history of Korea. Historical places in regards to General Yi Sun-sin (1545-1598), Jeseung Dang (shrine) and the Great Battle of Hansan Monument are all great places you'd never want to miss.


The Great Battle of Hansan Monument is not only popularly visited due to its historic significance, but also the birds eye view of the ocean. You can also find the Geobukseon Warship nearby, engineered by late commander Yi Sun-sin.




<Photo Five - Walk around the Great Battle of Hansan Monument and savor the sublime scenery.>

Upo Wetlands, home of a 140 million-year-old eco system

Upo Wetlands, home of a 140 million-year-old eco system


Chosun.com Media Report Team media@chosun.com


Upo Wetlands, home of a 140 million-year-old eco system

Upo Wetlands was chosen as one of the top 50 places tourists must visit in Korea by CNN Go. Formed in an ancient time when the Korean Peninsula first came into the world, Upo Wetland is especially glamorous in the transitional stage between autumn and winter. 


We took a road trip to Changnyeong, Gyeongnam for a view of nature's masterpiece. 

<Photo One. Upo Wetlands was formed along with the Korean Peninsula.> 


Dare to imagine the size of Upo Wetlands: 210 soccer fields. In the 1 to 2 meter-deep water, 1,000 types of organisms -- including 10 percent of all Korean plants -- are held shelter. The natural self-purifying characteristic keeps the waters clean all year long.  

Migratory birds flock to the wetlands during seasonal transition periods. The exquisitely preserved nature and abundant natural resources are a full hotel-package to the bird-travelers. In this time around, you can also witness rare species like kestrels and swans. 


<Photo Two. Its well-preserved nature is dubbed, "an alive museum.">


Migratory birds tease each other off in the silver grass field as if they are frolicking in a playground. The wetland rimmed by reeds and lotuses is a scene you'd never want to miss. 

A tour around the wetland is best to use the 14km-long hiking trail which takes about 4 hours to finish. Walk the mud road barefoot, and feel the nature tickling beneath your toes. 

<Photo Three. For migratory birds, Upo Wetlands is a rest haven.> 


Tired of walking? Borrow a bike near the Upo Wetlands Ecological Center, where everyone regardless of sex and age can use the service. 

Bike trails are lined right beside walking trails, so careful not to bump into pedestrians during your ride. There are also some sections that limit bike entry, so be aware. 

You will catch a glimpse of a tall observatory on your walk down the hiking trail. The one and only spot you can see an open view of Upo Wetlands will have you dazzled by nature's beauty in its purest form. 


<Photo Four. Ride a bike along the road and relish Upo Wetlands.> 


At the Upo Wetlands Ecological Center, view photos of the wetlands by season and learn more about the plants and animals living here. 

For a convenient trip, take public transportation. Ride a 30 minute-long bus leading to Upo Wetlands from Changnyeong Yeongshin Bus Terminal.

Sacheon, Gyeongnam's "Silan Sunset," a work of art from nature

Sacheon, Gyeongnam's "Silan Sunset," a work of art from nature

Chosun.com Media Report Team media@chosun.com


"The lighthouse and islands peeking out of the sea create a picturesque scene. The ocean saturated in shades of red adds warmth to this magnificent sunset."

The Korean Peninsula is filled with venues that boast stunning scenery. There are approximately 400 islands in Gyeongnam alone, which fact suggests that the province is an utterly exotic region. We made a special road trip to Sacheon, Gyeongnam, to capture the "Silan Sunset" view. In winter when the sky can't be any clearer, it seemed like the perfect choice.


<Photo One. Sancheon, Gyeongnam's "Silan Sunset" is the best of the best of Korean sunsets.>


For that perfect sunset view in Korea, first visit Sacheon. You can take mass transportation, a ship or a bus.

Head straight to Silan Village once you arrive in Sacheon. It is easy to spot when you follow the signpost between Sacheon Bridge and Samcheonpo Bridge.


<Photo Two. For a good view of the "Silan Sunset," use the coast road.>


The moment you arrive at the village, you will find lines of trees erected from the sea; it is a scene of Jukbangryeom, a type of Sacheon's very own fishery. Jukbangryeom is a primitive fishing method to catch fish with a fan-shaped bamboo net.

Scenery of Jukbangryeom reaches its highlight during sunset. Fishermen work in rhythm as the glowing sun slithers away, exhaling its last breath of a breathtaking velvet sky. Bits of islands peeking out from the waters as well as the lighthouse standing with grandeur in the middle of the sea add class to this unforgettable view.


<Photo Three. Jukbangryeom boasts of its glory at dusk.>


The world comes to a halt as the sun tiptoes beneath the horizon and flames of gold bursts across the velvet sky. The winter breeze is no longer chilly with such visual warmth embracing its frozen edges.

Tourists are in a hurry to capture the epic moment as they take out their cameras. Every spot makes a beautiful cut, but for the perfect shot, head to Samcheonpo Bridge Park, which you can easily find by following the signpost, "The Street of Beautiful Sunset."


<Photo Four. Tourists are posing against the setting sun.>


Now that the sun is set, time for some late-night munching! How about a taste of fresh raw fish from nearby Samcheonpo Fish Market? Choose a fish from a fish tank, and the chef will chop it into edible pieces right at the spot. Pay an extra fee to grab a seat nearby, and there you have your own personally-picked raw fish dinner table!


For more information, visit Sacheon's tourism homepage at http://www.toursacheon.net or call 055-831-2727.

Geoje's Hill of the Wind, a spectacle of reeds and a windmill

Geoje's Hill of the Wind, a spectacle of reeds and a windmill 

Chosun.com Media Report Team media@chosun.com


Can you capture the wind in your lens? You surely can at Hill of the Wind!

A windmill is surrounded by waves of weeds at Hill of the Wind, with visitors trying to capture the invisible yet tangible natural force that is swaying through their legs. 


<Photo One - A windy adventure in Geoje: Hill of the Wind> 


Hill of the Wind was chosen as one of the 100 outrageously beautiful spots in Korea. The epic scenery was recognized by numerous TV dramas and entertainment shows, for many of them were filmed there.  

At the entrance that leads to the hill is a photo of the hill's natural landscape; what lies behind that is a more awe-arousing view. 

The fishing village seen below creates an illusion that you are in the Mediterranean Sea. The orange roofs and emerald-green ocean are only a few of the amusing features. 


<Photo Two - The unhampered ocean view is Hill of the Wind's signature scenery.> 


Walk pass the hill and up the wooden staircase hiking trail, and soon you will realize why it is Hill of the Wind. Violent gusts of wind will sweep you off your feet. 

Cameras mounted on tripods will rarely play their roles as the strong currents of wind knock them down to the ground. Tourists posing for the camera are more hectic trying to neaten their hair and wardrobe.

Natural circumstances will certainly not ruin the chance to take a photo, though. The fairy tale-like windmill, flowy grass, cloudless sky and shimmery blue ocean is a scene you'd want to capture for life. 


<Photo Three - The windmill and reeds pitch in designing the picturesque landscape.>


The soft whispers of the waves and cool breeze from the sea add enthusiasm to your journey up the hill.  
A short rest along the way; sit down on a bench nearby and look afar: the South Sea and tiny islets scattered before you. You will find yourself wowing with overwhelmingness. 


<Photo Four - A line of tourists are waiting to take a photo in front of the windmill.>


Hill of the Wind is surrounded by famous tourist attractions like Shinseondae across from the hill and Haegeumgang, a renowned rock-island. 

Hakdong Pebble Beach, one of Geoje's eight main tourist attractions, is a summer vacation venue you are bound to enjoy.
