<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Gangwon-do,
which all Koreans love and located in the east of Seoul, is all proud of the
clean air and beautiful natural scenery. However, it would be an accurate
expression to interpret the fact that clean air, if expressed otherwise,
implies that traffic is inconvenient. It took a long distance by train from
Seoul. We chose to Cheoram station as
the starting point to ride the V-train starting from Cheoram station or
Buncheon station. Going far to get on that V-train? Sure, it was. You will find
out, if you have an experience, it is worthy.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Cheoram is a coal mine area that was great in the
past 1940s and 1960s. Now it ends its use. Coal mine history village near the
station shows the story of that time, I could also enjoy a part of the old coal
mine town on a passing train. This tourist train is always popular and mostly
fully booked, we chose weekday tourist train so we did not have a lot of
difficulties to make a reservation, but on weekends the train will be sold out
as soon as it was opened a month before the reservation as I heard. It is
recommended to use weekdays. We did not want to miss the autumn foliage, so we
made a reservation nearly a month ago. </span></span><br />

The train has only three carriages and
the interior is decorated with retro style and it consists of a total of 158
seats, which is a main factor that is not able to supply the fulfill those
needs. It runs only 2 times a day on the weekday and 3 times a day on the
weekend per each direction. The locomotives dragging the three carriages is
drawn tiger stripe on a white background, nicknamed the "baby white tiger
train." Once upon a time, the lots of tigers lived this rugged mountain that
they had expressed the concept on the train. In summer, a fan is a substitute
for air conditioner. In winter, stove using with charcoal for firewood is used
to warm inside carriage as the heater for heating equipment. It is a scenery
that is difficult to see these days. It is fully analogue system. It is made of
glass on three sides except the roof, so we could drink fresh air through
opened window from the beginning to the end and it was possible to also adjust
the height of the windows. There were luminescent stickers on the ceiling, all
the people sang along and yelled out a cheer just like to be in the club thanks
to its' sparkling stickers together with some exciting popular song when on
passing several tunnels.</span></span><br />

It did not take so long time till to admire the
spectacular scenic views spread out along the remote mountainous valley train
runs. The whole mountain wearing in yellow and red color greeted me. I was so
happy for my luck to see the wonderful leaves at one time that I could
appreciate for a lifetime. Because of the air that is quite much fresher from
the city, the color of the fall foliage looked more transparent than one of the
city. According to the friend who boarded it before, the azalea filled the
whole mountains in spring, and the mountains covered with white snow in winter
shows upscale view like Oriental painting different from those in the city. The
best choice of this train trip is said to be used in winter. The V-train run
between Cheoram and Bucheon which is the narrow gorges where steep cliffs and
rocky mountains are in Gangwon-do and brought me to a difficult place to get to
if it is not a train. The section is 28 kilometers long, 30 kilometers per
hour, so you can enjoy panoramic view of about an hour.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We got off the train
two times at Shengbu Station and Yangnuan Station. In these slow-moving tiny
stations, people moved slowly and a little old-fashioned vibe enough to invoke
nostalgia. We took photos and bought local products and food even though for a
short stopover time and took it to the car and enjoyed it. The Yangwon station,
which was the smallest train station in Korea, was so small that you’re not
able to recognize it unless you look closely. The cosmos blooms next to the
railroad added a taste of fall. One bright yellow ginkgo tree beside the
railroad seemed like to be writing the story of the fall. The destination
station, Buncheon station, has set up sisterhood relationship with Zermatt
station in Switzerland. It is a heavy snowy area in the winter, so they set up
Santa village and greeted travelers with diverse event during winter season. We
met Santa Claus and deer in the fall.

안양에서 전라도 방향으로 차를 가지고 여행을 하는 길은 생각보다 멀다. 이런 저런 이유로 자주 가지 못한다. 맛있는 전라도의 음식이 항상 나를 행복하게 해 줌에도...<br />
큰 맘 먹고 나선 고창여행을 같이 즐겨주셨으면 고맙겠습니다.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
여행일은<span lang="EN-US"> 2017</span>년<span lang="EN-US"> 8</span>월<span lang="EN-US"> 16/17</span>일이었습니다<span lang="EN-US">. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

부안에서 이것저것 구경하고 다음날 선운사를 이른 아침에 산책하고 싶어 선운사 가까운 곳에 숙소를 잡고 이동했다<span lang="EN-US">. </span>내가 사는 안양은 기온이 확 떨어져 선선하다는데<span lang="EN-US">, </span>여름내내 폭염에
시달리고 간만에 길을 나섰는데 하필이면 폭염주의보가 이곳에<span lang="EN-US">…. 더워도 너무 더워 .</span></div>

항상 길을 떠나기 전에는 시간 절약을 위해 최대한 동선을 확인하는데<span lang="EN-US">, </span>내가
제일 어려운 부분은 식사할 곳을 찾는 것이다<span lang="EN-US">. </span>블로그에 올려진 식당에 가서 성공한 경험이 적이 별로
없어서<span lang="EN-US"> </span>주차장에 차가 제법 있거나<span lang="EN-US">, </span>그도 마땅치 않으면 행운을 바랄 밖에<span lang="EN-US">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
해가 뉘엿하니 절근처에는 밥집이 없을 듯하여 숙소에 거의 다가서 식당을 찾는다<span lang="EN-US">. </span><br />
대략 스캐닝 한 바로는 장어요리가 유명하다는 데<span lang="EN-US">, </span><br />
나는 이런 종류는
일년에 한번도 먹을 둥 말 둥<span lang="EN-US">. </span>아마도 다른 메뉴도 있을 거라는 동행자의 말에 일단 들어가 보았더니<span lang="EN-US">, </span>헉<span lang="EN-US">, </span>이런<span lang="EN-US"> ! </span>메뉴라곤
장어요리밖에 없다<span lang="EN-US">. </span><br />
다시 돌아 나가기엔 배도 고프고 그 사이에 해도 져서 밖이 제법 어둡다<span lang="EN-US">.<br />그런데</span> 가격이 사악하다<span lang="EN-US">. </span>일인분에 자연산 장어는<span lang="EN-US"> 3</span>만<span lang="EN-US">5</span>천원<span lang="EN-US">, </span>양식은<span lang="EN-US"> 2</span>만<span lang="EN-US">5</span>천원<span lang="EN-US">(?) </span>이라니<span lang="EN-US">. <br /></span>에구 에구<span lang="EN-US">. </span>잘 먹지도 않고<span lang="EN-US">, </span>좋아 하지도 않는 요리를<span lang="EN-US">, </span>게다가 가격은 비싸고<span lang="EN-US">… </span>난감하다<span lang="EN-US">.
</span>어쩔 수 없다<span lang="EN-US">. </span><br />
자연산과 양식 장어의 차이를 물어본 후<span lang="EN-US">,
</span>눈 질끈 감고 자연산으로 주문했다<span lang="EN-US">. </span>말씀이 장어를 일단 갯벌에서 어느정도 키우다 양식장에
옮기면 양식장어<span lang="EN-US">, </span>갯벌에서 계속 키우면 자연산으로 분류한단다<span lang="EN-US">. 잘 모를땐 비싼거 먿으면 거의 실패하지 않더라.</span><span lang="EN-US"> <br /></span>걱정과는 달리 비리지 않고 의외로 먹을 만하다<span lang="EN-US">. 맛있다. <br /></span>음식이 오면 일단 먹어야 하는 성격이라 음식사진은 없고 다 먹고 일어서는데 옛날 한복에 양산을 쓰고있는 사진이
벽에 있어 사진을 찍고 보니 이분이 이 식당의 창시자라고 설명이 되어있다<span lang="EN-US">. 오래된 식당은 다 나름의 이유가 있는 듯 하다. </span>덕분에 잘 먹고 갑니다<span lang="EN-US">.</span></div>

그런데 진짜 재미있는 일은 선운사 입구 호텔에서 차를 대고 보니 온통 관광객 상대하는 식당들이 포진하고 있었다는
사실<span lang="EN-US">. 거기다 </span>편의점도 있음<span lang="EN-US">. (9</span>시까지 하는 듯<span lang="EN-US">,9</span>시 넘어 다시 가보니 불은 꺼지고 잠겨있었음<span lang="EN-US">) </span>편의점 옆에 위치한

산속의 숙소는 밤이 좋다<span lang="EN-US">. </span>해변의 그 것과 다르게 에어컨을 켜지않고

조식이<span lang="EN-US"> 8</span>시부터 제공된다고 하여<span lang="EN-US">, 식사전에 </span>일찌감치 선운사 산책을 나섰다<span lang="EN-US">. <br /></span>십분 정도 걸으니 매표소가 있다<span lang="EN-US">. </span>이렇게 이른 시간에<span lang="EN-US">, </span>설마 입장료를<span lang="EN-US">? '야, 이른 아침이라 공짜로 입장할 수 있겠다." 속으로 기쁜 마음에 콧노래가 절로 난다. 아니 그런데 저기 저분은? </span>웬 걸<span lang="EN-US">, </span>멀리서
우리가 걸어오는 걸 보시고는 잽싸게 매표소 안으로 들어가셔서 징수하신다<span lang="EN-US">. 공짜입장은 물 건너 갔다.</span></div>

일주문을 지나니 우거진 나무터널
사이로 나무향이 짙게 느껴진다<span lang="EN-US">. </span>밤새 비가 온 것도 한 몫 한 듯<span lang="EN-US">. </span>절
마당의 화사한 배롱나무가 나를 반긴다<span lang="EN-US">. </span>이번 남쪽 지방 여행에서 나를 가장 행복하게 해준 것이 배롱나무이다<span lang="EN-US">. </span>서울 쪽에는 잘 볼 수 없는 이 나무는 길가에선 가로수 대신<span lang="EN-US">, </span>농가에서도<span lang="EN-US">, </span>한적한 산길에선 불쑥불쑥 출현한다<span lang="EN-US">. </span>어여쁜 처녀의 진분홍 한복치마를

umbrella, even the raindrops in this place seem to be something different with
other places, the stunning colored leaves in the fall, the tiles of the palace
covered the white snow in the winter, all of this dazzle the way to the museum.
I read an article about the opening of the Cartier collection in the newspaper
and visit the museum in the Sunday afternoon.</span><br />

On the way to the museum, as
usual, people was making their beautiful memories while taking pictures in
front of stone wall as the background. It made me feel better to see the scene.
Fresh performances by Buskers on weekends lead the way to the museum more
romantic combination. But to be wonder, I don't know why there is a popular
myth handed down for a long time that if you walk on this stonewall walkway</span><span face=""helvetica" , sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span><span lang="EN-US">with lover, you will

if they didn’t mind at all what it does.</span><br />

Large roses were welcome me at the
museum entrance. It’s the artwork with the name ”Rosy Life( La Vie en Rose)".
This bold, huge rose bouquet made of FRP (Fiber reinforced plastics) material always welcomes me as usual like an old friend. I breathed in the utmost the air of museum as sat on a stone chair, as always,
before entering the museum. The name of this stone chairs art is
'communication'.</span><br />

As I
looked at the right side of the entrance door, a knight in a shiny silver armor
was situated above eye level. I thought there was some consistency in artworks
because the company supports this art foundation is doing business related to
jewelry, so I was slightly worried for a moment that other works might have the
same tendency. However, it was my perfect groundless anxiety. I lined up a line
to join and it didn't take a long time to enter. It was able to appreciate for
me it comfortably during the time because the staffs adjust the number of
audience at a distance of time. I am not an expert in art, so I don’t like to
see lots of artwork in a short time. To be sorry for the artists but I am just ordinary
person. I am impressed at first, however as I go backwards, I become dull.
So, I prefer the exhibition style not the dense exhibition form but a little
far away spacing arrangement. In that sense, this exhibition gave me very
comfortable moving line. Nevertheless, the level of the exhibits was so great
and valuable that I continued to fill my curiosity with diverse art world.</span><br />

part of the tomb of second queen of the first king who founded the Joseon

The beautifully carved stone plates were moved here to build
the walls and let it to be intentionally placed upside down in the process of building

Whatever his intentions may have been, the bridge seems to be loved more for these beautiful reliefs anyway.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face=""segoe ui" , sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>

when you walk along the stream is the replica of the king Jeongjo's parade on
over 5,000 tiles. King Jeongjo, who made various attempts to reform and improve
the nation and one of the most successful and visionary rulers of the Joseon
Dynasty in the culture and economy, let public artists drew pictures about the
great eight-day parade to visit his father's tomb with his mother
at 60-year-old mother's birthday. The social atmosphere at that time could be
seen well even in paintings in which the expressions of humorous facial look
and leisurely procession are well portrayed. Speaking briefly about his tragic
royal family history, his father in the position of the crown prince until he
died was a victim of political strife and was fit to die of starvation in the
rice chest by his father. After his father died on his grandfather's order, he was adopted by his grandfather as a son. After growing up to become a king, he went to the tomb of his father to serve his mother. It furnishes a good theme for many historical dramas
and movies till now. </span></div><div><br />

quickly with funny jokes and great shows. His popularity was especially great
for children. A cup of coffee in the cafe next to the stream was another

last. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What’s the charms of Udo island where about 2
million of the 15 million visitors (12 million Koreans and 3 million
foreigners) who visited Jeju Island during last year stopped by this small
island. What makes so many tourists go from the main island to another small
island within Jeju? </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOw3bnDLPnjLsHmgW9QhjUlOcuvNceyzQTCC8bGtPiyL8kVnkxBlXykcgbqRI0kIdyuPfhX4vSk7eHeKPhaSgrfTICHaIOr8SFx3vjStjdf5ZfgTtKBJgFv7y1H4WJMs1069qXXeksE9V4/s1600/IMG_4364.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOw3bnDLPnjLsHmgW9QhjUlOcuvNceyzQTCC8bGtPiyL8kVnkxBlXykcgbqRI0kIdyuPfhX4vSk7eHeKPhaSgrfTICHaIOr8SFx3vjStjdf5ZfgTtKBJgFv7y1H4WJMs1069qXXeksE9V4/s400/IMG_4364.png" width="400" /></a></div>
The ship left from Seongsan port located in the east part of main Jeju reached at the Haumokdong of Udo Is. after about 20
minutes. You may have to grab your hair throughout the road because of the strong wind. I heard
that the name of Udo Is. was named because it resembles the lying cow. I paid 6000 won for shuttle
sightseeing bus which can get on and off each stop, got on the bus and realized that I surely had come to the
place of my wish. People can get off each stop, look around, and get on the next bus again. In the fun explanation of local bus driver living in Udo, the bus
was filled with laugh so soon from top to bottom. Are you ready to catch a bunch of happiness?<br />

I got off the first attractions drop at the Geommeolle (Black sands) beach named
after the sand is black. It was truly a 'Skill of God' that I went down to the shore and boarded the boat. My travel instinct! To be frank, I hesitated
whether to take a boat or not because I couldn’t swim and I became a little
nervous. Give my thanks to life jacket which gave me the courage. <span face=""맑은 고딕"" style="font-size: 12pt;">The
geological characteristics of the volcanic island and the beauty of nature had
blown away all the fears at once. Strongly recommended! 20 minutes boarding
time, 20000 won in Korean cash.</span><br />

Udo is a small island that produces mainly garlic and peanuts because it’s impossible
to cultivate rice, is much less developed and much pure than Jeju Island. <span face=""맑은 고딕"" style="font-size: 12pt;">The residents started to cultivate peanuts from 30
years ago, judging that the soil, intense sunlight and sea breeze of Udo would
be suitable for peanut farming. The original seeds were long and large, but
when they harvested it, it was as small as it is now. They started to cultivate
and manage as a special product considering the rareness. Current residents are
thoroughly controlling the seeds, and the Jeju Agricultural Technology Center
is giving a lot of support.</span><span face=""맑은 고딕"" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span face=""segoe ui" , sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Ice cream topped with Udo
peanuts being produced only in Udo island. It is sold on many different names
in the island, but in fact there is no big difference in taste. This peanut is
much smaller, harder, savory and rounded than regular. </span><br />

peak and Lighthouse located at the highest level in Udo. It takes about an hour
for round hiking from shopping area of Geommeolle(Black beach) to the peak and
those who have a busy schedule or weak physical strength can pass it. Please go
up after sightseeing boat because there is physical exhaustion. It is the point
where you can see all of Udo, 7 out of 10.<br />

is the word to refer those female divers who works especially under
the sea in Korea. They gather seaweed, abalone, octopus, clams, sea urchin
and other sea products. This word has meaning something special melting in
their life beyond description itself as just a kind of job. In recent

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">I didn’t expect big volume of museum for
unique female diver. This museum is located neighboring the small cozy
village by the sea. When I grew up, I saw them across the nation wide. But the
number of them had decreased little by little because it is very hard job to work
under the sea. For this reason, now we are just only able to see them in this
island within Korea. The main reason why it remains in this island only is
because of the special condition of island and poor environment for life. I
surely wanted to visit this small space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">There were female divers through the
whole country of Korea till the 1960s. They couldn’t be found out in main land
recent time anymore. Jeju Island(</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">제주도<span lang="EN-US">) was the most
activated area in this country since long time ago. They had to lay specialty
to the King and central government during all the former dynasty because this
island has been rich in the marine products and it had boasted the best in quality
when comparing with other sea fields. In the beginning, men undertook the duty.
As time went by, many numbers of men ran away into to the land because they couldn’t
tolerate the hard condition in nature and intensity of hard work. From long
time ago, this reason resulted in the number of female</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;"> is more
than the number of men, in </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">unique population composition rate

ladies had managed to take over the economic duty for family as well as
preparing of principal products instead of their husband. The social position
of them as a significant role to manage in all parts of their society is quite
different with other area in this country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

island was composed by the several volcanic activities) that they could
not cultivate diverse agricultural products and always suffered from food
shortage. All that people could do was just to cultivate small amount of grain
and agricultural products and to gather the food resources from the sea. Their
greatness is just not only in the tenacious hold on life and strong pioneer
spirit but also in their wonderful working skills under the sea. They usually
started to learn how to swim at the age of seven or eight, skilled up their
diving abilities as they grow and became a full-scale woman diver member at the
age seventeen to eighteen. They can dive in general fifteen to twenty feet (6
meters) in depth without oxygen tank, sometimes to seventy feet (21 meters) and
for over one minute even to three minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

because it is regarded as valued nature products. As they earned the money much
more than before, they send their daughters to the land to educate well and get
more comfort life. So, ironically, it became one of the key reasons of fall-of
the number of them sharply. Who can dare blame their opinion? For the reasons
of hard working condition, sharp decrease of sea products and it is true that
these female divers might be disappeared in couples of decades and be left just
as the name of old traditional unique culture in this island. The view

Tropical Hallim Park(</span><span style="font-size: 18.66px;">한림공원</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 18.66px;">)next to this, just five minutes on foot, is another tourist attraction too. Don’t miss it, either. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">This is the
closest black colored sand and gravel beach on the west bound far from 20
minutes from the airport. Here is also popular for sunset. Jeju island was the specialized
area which provided the war horse about since eight hundred years to modern
era. Horse is the specialty of this island. The red and white pony lighthouse
facing up each other on this beach symbolized its’ unique old horse.
Absolutely. These two are actual lighthouse. To my regret, I had to leave this
tiny charming beach before lighting at night due to catch my return flight. <span style="color: blue;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">‘Woljeongri’
means the small village where the moon is staying. However unlike what the
romantic name shows, this is a little uncomfortable and hard seashore village
because of the strong sandy wind and threatening waves over seawall. With this
reason price land of this area is lower than other area of this island. But the
value of this is not the same as before. It became ten times higher at now as compared
in the just three or four years before. Why? See the exotic aero-generators in
the beach. What’s more, there are many distinct characteristic cozy cafes along
the seashore. The strangers who loves this island from the main land of Korea
opened this kind of romantic zone and rooted here became real Jeju citizen
member (up to ten percentage of this residential population at now). This is hot
tourist attractive essential date course for young couple. It is far away one
hour on the east bound from airport by the car.</span><br />

<span face=""맑은 고딕"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When I arrived at the morning around 9AM, there were already many
peoples in ready to hike this peak.</span><span face=""맑은 고딕"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span face=""맑은 고딕"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In

essential course of a </span><span face=""맑은 고딕"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">trip

for the experiential learning were busy bustling to take a group picture with
peak as the backdrop. There was pleasant and vibrant noise. </span><span face=""맑은 고딕"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Temperature
of this island is much higher than as main Korea. When I visited there in the

due to the strong sunlight.</span><span face=""맑은 고딕"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span face=""맑은 고딕"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I

<span face=""맑은 고딕"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When I
reached the peak, many people were making their memories in their own way.</span><span face=""맑은 고딕"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span face=""맑은 고딕"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">To be frank with you, I was a little disappointed when
I saw the peak. It looked like a small football ground slightly hollowed land
as if the spaceship touched down there. It was unusual for the top edge to be
as sharp as the end of the crown. I came up with my mind for a while that I
wanted to run down to that wide ground.</span><span face=""맑은 고딕"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span face=""맑은 고딕"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This peak was an island
at first. As times go by the sands and gravels were flown from the neighboring
seashore into this islet and it had resulted in the connection to the main land
of Jeju Island exquisitely. </span><span face=""맑은 고딕"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><span face=""맑은 고딕"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As I

three sides except west side of it formed by erosive action of the strong winds

goods like oils, wines, liquors, vinegar and teas, making herb candles and
soaps, handicraft corner, distillation corner of essential oil, many kinds of
herb details helped my knowledge of it. What’s more, tiny items situated each

beautiful, stunning and romantic site than daytime with millions of starlike
lights and gave me wonderful shooting time. The live show on weekend at square
and to see the youth who boarded mini gondola circling this square made me
happy even though I didn’t ride it. For a while I sat and took coffee break. Well,
the two guys’ singing ability on the stage was not good enough. They had
trouble hitting the high notes and some portion of notes was stretched more
longer. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">I was eavesdropping on the next person said to

crying?". Whatever it was, it didn't screw up my romantic feeling at all. Surely,
the night has powerful strength to make everything looks beautiful. This light
festival of night goes on all the year.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Don’t wait to meet the beautiful night time in

the morning rather than in the afternoon, as I heard. So I started my home
early morning with my family. Usually it starts blooming in late June, matures in July
and lasts till around mid-August. I always wonder how it blooms flower and seed
at a same time, to be surprised.</span></div>

As a fact, lotus is very familiar aquatic flower with the Korean by
religious reasons related with Buddhism as well as household items in daily
lives by the images of cleanliness and nobility since ancient time. People also
eat all parts of it-flower, leaf and root. They make a tea with the dried
petals of white lotus and dried leaves. Large leaves are used as a wrap for
food especially when make boiled rice cuisine. Rhizomes (roots) are very
popular cooking material in Korea. In those reasons, this has been very profitably and inextricably linked with Koreans lives and loved through so long time. The cozy
stream, water fountains, dazzling lotus flowers, water lilies, upper bridge
across this garden which gave us shelter from the strong sunlight.</span><br />

Each single

awkward thought that why it blooms so this hot day that it will be somewhat hard to see
the flowers under strong sunshine. What’s more, thanks to low wooden benches to sit on,benches and pavilion scattered here and there, we avoided early summer heat, drank water prepared ( tip; please carry enough water for your thirst) and took brief break on the low wooden bench.</span><br />

Newly founded Sehanjeong pavilion(</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">세한정</span><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">), situated almost last point of this garden,
got the copy of painting ‘Sehando’, standing portrait of Chusa (추사 pen name of Jeounghui
Kim, 1786-1856) and wish paper to write peoples’ wishes on. Sehando is the most celebrated
masterpiece painting of Chusa. His lonely, difficult, sad situation of his
exile in Jeju Island was well expressed through the old pine tree and humble
house. He was a famous calligraphy, epigraphist and scholar of late Joseon
Dynasty of last kingdom of Korea. He got several exiles due to his</span><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 14.6667px;"> position of long distance relationship of royal family (H</span><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;">e lived under the times four kings) </span><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 14.6667px;">during his life</span><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;">. It was good chance to see his famous painting for me in this
unexpected place. However, for all the considering that there was no relation between
him and this area through his whole life, it was some strange and totally irrelevant.</span><br />

into Dumulmeori(두물머리), the one of the most romantic place. Thanks to this new bridge, we could reach easily to this famous shooting spot.( possible only during being opening time of this garden. If not, you have to go another way.)</span><br />

is named as Dumulmeori because it is a place where two rivers meet.</span></span><br />

The boat with an ochre sail is now silently telling past stories indifferently. Don't expect too much of here. It is a simple riverside area with
nothing special. If I mention it, three trees of 400 years old are gathered side

to visit due to its cold weather. The bandit as for me seems to be the very
right blooming season of lotus. Welcome to those who enjoy a secluded spot.</span></span></div>

Foundation on the around 15<sup>th </sup>(Full moon day on lunar calendar) day of
from May to October annually. It started from the entrance gate of Hwaseong Hanenggung temporary
palace(화성행궁) and looked around inside of it, rode the Hwaseong Trolley to the
Janganmun gate(North gate of fortress), walked along the fortress and backed to the palace again to see
the Traditional performance inside the palace. The whole course takes around two hours.</span><br />

Trees were giving the shade and mild winds of them for the visitors as if they welcomed the clouds. Many various regular or irregular performances such as Jangyongyeong Royal
Guard Ceremony, King’s parade accompanying by his mother, Saturday Regular
performance and Summer night music concert (July-August) are given in this
front yard of the palace. What the amazing thing is plenty of performances were played by the citizens of Suwon city(수원시).</span></div>

It has excellent
designs of the fortress architecture which shows the merits of both the eastern
and the western construction methods. Also it had well equipped various
components having scientific merits as an impregnable fort perfectly. Most
parts of this wall and palace over the course of many years were severely
destroyed and damaged, especially under the Japanese colonial period and Korean
War(in 1950-1953). Now days all parts are well maintained through the best
efforts for it and the whole circuit can be walked easily as a wonderful trail
course taking around three hours.<o:p></o:p><br />

In fact, it was not easy for him to be a king because his
father, Crown Prince Sado, was killed in the wooden rice chest by his own
father King Yeongjo(21<sup>st</sup> King) on the charge of conspiracy unfairly.
And thus, It was natural that there were many checks several times by the
political party which took part in his father’s death and scared revenge of his
little son (King Jeongjo, the little son, was just eleven years old and even begged to his
grandfather for his father’s live). There was even an assassination plot against
him. His greatness is merely in the forgiveness to them only. Through his
reign, he opened the offices to the young talented persons according to their ability
regardless of their humble origins or factions. He was the real monarch who
loved the people deeply and put his policies into practice strongly in the part
of national security, defense, economy and commerce.</span><br />

Jeongjo’s mind at all time that his father’s tomb had been in a state of total

the fact that his grandfather chose him instead of his father as the next king,

6000 peoples and 1400 horses were mobilized in
this big visitation to a tomb according to the official record. It was painted
by the professional artists of an administrative office. Optimistic and funny
expression shown in it seems like to reflect of liberal social mood in his era. This palace and inner area of wall were composed on the vast flatland
and had defensive military function as well as commercial roles in practical
side. He designed the city as a new multipurpose experimental revolution one for promoting
of agriculture and commerce.<br />

This was a major transportation hub reaching three
local provinces. He took many new attempts when composed this city. For
example, he let the flooded stream changed into reservoir and supplied the
water to the near national farmland. Many floating people and poor military
families engaged in the agriculture and shared the profit on a fifty-fifty
basis between government and actual peasant. So he could enough provide the
expenses of his royal military troop and maintenance finance of fortress and
palace with this profit. He lent money to the local merchants without interest
for three years for promoting the business. Big traditional markets composed at
that time at the right side of Paldalmun gate(<span face=""hy신명조" , "serif"" style="font-size: 11pt;">팔달문</span><span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">) are continues
even now. These markets situated on the both side of Suwoncheon stream(</span><span face=""hy신명조" , "serif"" style="font-size: 11pt;">수원천</span><span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">) are so enormous. At a short time, I was about to made an impulse buy
by the glittering goods what tempted me. Here was not just the passing by city
when he visited his father’s royal tomb but the starting spot of great turning
point to carry out his ideal. He wanted to expand to many other cities at the
same way after succeeding this modeling city. He wanted to stay with his mother
at this city after succeeding to a throne to his sun (23<sup>rd</sup> King
Sunjo).</span><br />

However it did not come true sadly because he died suddenly in 1800 at the

two meters tall, not present at this time in this village. There was a legend
that people could have a sun when they rubbed the stone on this rock surface as
much as their age and leave their hand, then at a same time the stone stuck to it. It means that they could get a sun luckily. This village is
located in the west foot area of the Bugaksan mountain(</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial;">북악산</span><span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">) near the Blue House, the official residence

This has been a Limited Development
District so long time due to neighboring the Blue House for president. Ironically thanks to this reason, here becomes the unique village having
nostalgia for past. What’s more, by the effort of many artists, this area has filled
with various museums, traditional craft shops, historical heritage, cafes and
bakery and so on. This is small one. It did not take too much time to stroll
this beautiful and tiny attractions. You can take a rest at the tiny cafes here

The particular feature of traditional house is in
the formation of its garden. In case of Korea, they do decorate trees and
flowers along the wall but planting on the center in the garden. In the past people did pursue simplicity in gardening. They only enjoyed the far away
scenery which could be seen from their yard, not owned it like seen photo. This
site has a history that Prince Anpyeong, very intellect and talent prince of
painter, scholar, musician and calligrapher in his time, dreamed the beautiful
peach garden and found out this place seemed just the like the place where he
saw in his dream. He let the famous painter AnGyeon paint a picture ‘The Peach
Blossom Spring Land’ and built the pavilion in this point. This name was named after the
pavilion’s name stated in here at that time. He was the prince in the early Joseon dynasty when everything was unstable. Maybe it was not comfortable for him to live as a royal family without authority. I guessed that the dream was maybe the reflection of his earnest wish for peaceful real world. My heart went out to him.</span><br />

The Changdeokgung(<span style="font-size: 11pt;">창덕궁</span><span face=""arial" , "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">),
literally ‘prospering virtue palace’, is the palace of Joseon Dynasty which is
the most beautiful, longest, being loved one to the kings and well preserved
place at present time. Changdeokgung was designated on UNESCO World Heritage in
1997 with an outstanding exceptional example of Far Eastern palace architecture
and design, blending harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. With this
historical and beautiful value, the first ladies of G20 visited this palace in
Nov2010 during G20 Summits period.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;">This was built as a secondary palace in 1405 by the order
of King Taejong, 3</span><sup style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">rd</sup><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"> king of Joseon dynasty. It is located at the
foot of Ungbong Peak of mountain Bugaksan in Seoul. It is named also ‘East Palace’ along
with Chaggyeonggung because it is situated in the east side of Gyeongbok
palace, the primary palace. Each complex is placed in harmony with the
topography without regular system as contrast with the Gyeongbok palace which
is overawed and authoritative by standing the line and symmetrical placement in
flatland. Korea is mountainous country. As this reason, the kings might be more
familiar than the flat main palace. All palace in Hanyang( today’s Seoul) was
destroyed by the Japanese invasion (1592-1598). As talking of inauspicious side
in Gyeongbok palace, Changdeok palace reconstructed and took over as a new royal court by the
King Gwanghaegun until Gyeongbok palace rebuilt in 1865 and was used through
several process of destroy and reconstruction till the end of dynasty( almost
500 years).</span></div>

outer yards consisted of the governmental offices, royal private residential
area and inner yards of the rear garden (secret garden).This dynasty was
established by the base of Confucian ideology. The principle of it was “Humble and
Simple”. It was also applied when the palace complex was constructed. However they did
not give up their attempt to make it graceful and elegant instead of being glossy. Especially,
garden area (rear garden, secret garden), well composed by pavilions, ponds,
trees, oddly shaped stones and rocks shows outstanding view especially boast
characteristic and beautiful harmony with nature. This has the feature of
untypical aesthetic value of beauty. People thought Gyeongbok palace as the
inauspicious site in some side although it was the primary palace according to Fengshui principle, Chinese geomantic

the Jongmyo shrine where the royal family’s ancestral tablets were placed
and ancestral rites were performed regularly during the Joseon dynasty. The gatekeepers’
quarter was changed into the stone wall at now. Besides, a new road was opened

again, I reached at Injeongmoon gate. In front of this gate, in general, the
coronation of a king was held concisely on 6<sup>th</sup> day of the death of
previous king because the throne couldn't leave it empty for long time after death of former king. For a moment, I visualized the ideal and passion of new king in
my mind. This yard has the trapezoidal type instead of typical rectangular one.
Maybe this was caused by the purpose of avoiding the mountain terrain leading

So, looking at the river and its soft colored sand, I recognized why the river appeared in so many literary works. The old tiled houses and the thatched house built in many places within the farm add to the feeling of plum blossom village. It seemed like a white snow field.</span></span><br />

This was the special experience for me to awake my intellectual
instinct. You are able to so shortly realize that science is intriguing,
exciting and interesting live study. What a surprisingly, there is an
Astronomical Observatory in the Seoul Metropolitan center. ‘In the heart of downtown
Seoul’. Compared with that general astronomical observatory is situated in the mountain, the location of this one inside bustling Seoul city is the best of best merit point.<br />

As the reason of my laziness, I mean those kinds of observatory are too
far to get there from the city, I put in a request for an observation program of full
moon and some stars without any hesitation. I had thought that it should be
located at the deep and clean environment such as mountain. To be frank with
me, I was not great hopes to this observation. However it didn’t take a long
time to find out that it was an utterly groundless concern.<br />

High quality, fluent,
profitable, simple terms and proper images were provided for the time being
around two hours experience. What is more, science commentator made us smile so
often. If I learned the science with like as these kinds of lesson, I might be
as a scientist now. After taking a lesson, we went to up to the rooftop where we
could experience to handle telescope and observe the celestial bodies (heavenly
bodies). There were several telescopes for the observation of moon and stars. I
saw the Sirius, the brightest star except the Sun in the Earth night sky, and understood
the meaning of ‘like the shining stars’ (like as diamond).<br />

I took a photo of the
full moon clearly through connected telescope. How amazing it was! In Planetarium
which was equipped with dome screen of 8 meters and high resolution digital
projector, I could enjoy the virtual observation of constellation (star sign)
and the visual image of moon and space exploration. At that time I seemed to
being an astronaut. In the circular dome observatory rotating ceiling 360
degrees and 7 meters in diameter, we saw the Jupiter having Galilean moons (the
largest of the four moons of Jupiter and discovered by Galileo Galilei in
1610).<br />

In Korea, we have good
feeling to the moon as compared with the western countries having negative
feeling. In the past we believed that rabbit lived in there and prayed for ones’
wishes looking up to it on a full moon night. Although everybody knows that
there is no more rabbit in the moon, we still pray for their wishes on a
special full moon night. The Moon is in synchronous rotation with the Earth,
always showing the same face with its near side marked by dark volcanic maria. Scientists
defined that ‘Impact Crater’ is approximately circular depression in the
surface at a planet, moon or other solid body in the solar system and formed by
the hypervelocity impact of a smaller body with the surface. To be interesting,
the craters are named after according to some rules. In case of the Moon, it is
from the scientist’s name. In case of the Mercury, from artist’s one. In case
of the Venus, from women’s name. Very interesting.<br />

This is the typical appearance of
Meteor Crater and he set a theory about the formation and relation with the
planets of crater and it is now widely accepted as scientific fact. He wanted
to go the moon and he became only the one person who had been gone to after his
death by the Lunar Prospector space probe loading his some of ashes in a
capsule in 1999. This observatory is operated by Donga Science Co.Ltd., It is a
company publishing ‘Donga Science’ and ‘Children Science Donga’ which is the leading
monthly science magazine boasting 22 years biweekly. They have many kinds of
observation programs. Ongoing program, program for adult and on a special day programs
are undergoing. They proceed the program regrettably only in Korean (video images
are given in English). However whatever it is, I would like to recommend to try about this
program.<br />

This food place inside market started as a zone
to sell foods for fabric traders at night and retailers who pick up things at
dawn, and most of all, while starting to be loved by twenties and became a
place to be loved by twenties as well as all the generation. Let's take a look
at the history of this place over 100 years (opened in 1905). In the early
days, rice, grains, and fruits and vegetables were sold mainly. After the
Korean War, it maintained its name from hand to mouth. After they changed into the
main selling items as professional fabric wholesale and retail for Hanbok (traditional
clothes of Korea), it hit a new peak from the end of the 1950s to 1970s.</span><br />

hanbok, textile, related accessories, bedclothes and goods for traditional

To ride on the ship gave me the another time for my heart flutter. In spite of taking in short 5
or 6 minutes, I felt a little scare as well as fresh new experience for me to
see that the ship goes and makes some ice-breaking sound through the thin ice
layer on the river. At a glance the visitors, one third of them was foreign ones. They talked each other with their languages. I thought for a while what charms lead to them in this small island.<br />

However it has not been long since this island got to be a
like this kind of harmony place of nature, art and culture. When I look back
about here this was the recreation area of membership training for college
students and businessman, site for the day trippers, families, seminars and
outdoor life for the public during so long time from 1960s till 2001. It is located
in enough to approach here within 2 hours from Seoul by public transportation.
Needless to say at that time there was not moderate area to recreate on their
weekend with their colleagues at work, friends, families and other purposes. And
thus here was always crowded with people on the every weekend, occupied by bustling sound all day and getting dirty due to the trashes spreading all over the island. In
2001, a professional CEO Woohyun Kang, majored in graphic design, a fairy tale
writer, President of a design company until 2000, was scouted for management for this island. He
