Welcome to Incheon Chinatown 🏮

Last weekend, I visited the only official Chinatown in Korea - and I loved it! 

Here are the must-see attractions:

🔘 Sky Hills
🔘 Seollinmun Gate
🔘 Three Kingdoms Mural Wall
🔘 Uiseondang Temple
🔘 Jajjangmyeon Museum 
🔘 Hanjungwon Park
🔘 Chinese Korean Culture Center

🚋 How to get there: Head to Incheon station (인천) on subway line 1 and take exit 1.

📍Incheon Chinatown, South Korea 🇰🇷

In East Asian cultures, lanterns are said to illuminate the world of ignorance with Buddhas wisdom and guide sentient beings. 

Buddhas Birthday is approaching and lanterns are decorating Korean temples and the streets around Korea.

This is a drone shot of the beautiful lanterns at Gakwonsa temple in Cheonan. Only when seen above can you make out the words they spell out:

청동대불 - Bronze Buddha (referring to the large statue at this temple)

각원사 - Gakwonsa (the name of the temple)

The month of May is filled with fun holidays and celebrations as it is Family Month in South Korea!

One of the holidays is Buddhas Birthday, which is just around the corner (May 8th).

How can you join the fun?
Head to a local temple (theyre all across the country!), and explore the beauty and serenity of Korean temple culture. 

Many temples are specially decorated with beautiful lanterns during this time of the year and many also have events going on.

📍Cheongju, South Korea 🇰🇷

Don’t you just love Korean architecture?

This is the House of Unbo, a beautiful traditional Korean house and the home of one of Korea’s most celebrated painters of the 20th century. 

The house offers a great look into how the painter lived, but even if you aren’t interested in art, you will definitely enjoy a visit to the House of Unbo in Cheongju.

📍Cheongju, South Korea 🇰🇷

I absolutely loved visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace during cherry blossom season 😍

While the blossoms are all gone in Seoul now, you can still find some places outside the city where cherry blossoms are in full bloom - but not for so much longer!

Where’s your favorite place for cherry blossoms? 🌸 I’m already starting to make a list for next year 😂

📍Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷

I love this stunning temple during spring! 🌸😍

If you have some time this weekend or early next week, you’ll still be able to see the gorgeous variety of cherry blossoms at Gakwonsa Temple in Cheonan!

The cherry blossoms start blooming this week in many parts of South Korea 🌸

This is in Hwagae, a little village in the beautiful tea-growing area of Hadong-gun in Gyeongsangnamdo, the province along the Korea Strait.

The main attraction is the 4-kilometer (roughly 2.5 miles) Sipri Cherry Blossom Road, planted by the villagers in 1931.

This road is lined with more than 1,200 large cherry blossom trees left and right and stretches from Hwagae Market to Ssangyesa Temple for four kilometers.

Legend says that if you and your partner walk down Hwagae cherry blossom road together, you will get married and live happily ever after🌸🙏🏼

📍Hwagae, South Korea 🇰🇷

How beautiful is this lion carving on Yeongjegyo Bridge at Gyeongbokgung Palace?

These statues act as guardians against fire and other natural disasters. 

Walk around Gyeongbokgung and you’ll see many of them!

Gyeongbokgung Palace is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Seoul. But whens the best time to visit?

✅ Visit in the early morning or in the late afternoon

I highly recommend heading to Gyeongbokgung Palace as soon as it opens at 9:00 in the morning. The second best time to visit the palace is the late afternoon, 1 hour before closing time at the latest.

This shot was taken 1 hour before closing (around 4PM) and the light was just stunning!

📍 Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷
