#Places to go with kids 📍Shanghai Valley I visited Shanghai Valley located in Cheorwon! Search for Shanghai Valley on your navigation and go! There are many fun points to play in the valley on the way up when you almost get there! Since you can park on the road next to it, there was no problem with parking and I had a great time! Another good thing is that you can cook!!! Of course, take your trash with you! There were also many bathrooms along the way, which was nice!

#Heart-pounding summer vacation In October 2020, a 180m-long 'Milky Way Bridge' was built near Songdaeso. ✨️Cheorwon Hantangang Milky Way Bridge✨️ is not a popular suspension bridge these days. You can cross the glass part while wearing socks. The magnificent scenery of the valley allows you to walk on the water and tour the geological sites. Gangwon-gun has been creating an 8km 'water road' by floating a pontoon bridge on some sections of the Hantangang River since 2017. Before, you could only walk on the river as an ice trek in the middle of winter when the water was frozen solid. 🎯725-12 Jangheung-ri, Dongsong-eup, Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do #Cheorwon #CheorwonTravel #CheorwonHantangMilky Way Bridge

Want to see the outstanding scenery of Hantangang River? Come to Cheorwon Hantangang Columnar Joint Road, registered as UNESCO World Geopark🙋🏻‍♀️ However, this is a travel destination that is difficult for those with acrophobia like me💦💦 ⭐️Travel Tip⭐️ ✔️Parking lot: Available ✔️Admission fee: 10,000 won for adults (=5,000 won in Cheorwon gift certificates) * Currently free admission (due to construction of the middle bridge) ✔️50% discount for those over 65 ✔️Time required for viewing: 60 minutes ✔️Due to construction of the middle bridge, movement from Sundam to Deureuni is not possible!!!! Only available up to the middle • Only 1km from Sundam Ticket Office can be viewed • Only 1.4km from Deurni Ticket Office can be viewed ✔️Closed: Every Tuesday (09:00~16:00) 👵🏻The difficulty level of the distance from Sundam Ticket Office to the middle is relatively easy, but the distance from Deurni Ticket Office to the middle has more than 400 stairs. Therefore, it is difficult for silver travelers to travel. 🚘 Gangwon Cheorwon-gun Galmal-eup Guntan-ri San 78-2 #Hantangang #Cheorwon Columnar Joint Road #Gangwon-do Travel #Places to Visit in Cheorwon #Domestic Travel Destination #UNESCO

It's the Goseokjeong flower field in Cheorwon, Gangwon-do. The sunflowers have grown so well without breaking their necks!! Just looking at the sunflower field makes me feel good!

#FlowerViewing This place comes to mind when Chuseok approaches ❤🧡💛💚 I visited last Chuseok, and the mandrakes were so pretty that I fell in love with this place. It's #CheorwonGoseokjeongFlowerBed From mandrakes to buckwheat flower fields, dapsari, cosmos, and pink muhly You could say it's a place where flower parties are held!

There was no event last year due to COVID-19, but I think there's a place where you can introduce yourself and request songs like a live studio :) 👦🏻👧🏻 It's good to bring food, drinks, and water for your children! Since it's outdoors, mosquito repellent is a must! There are so many photo spots! Go on a family outing and take some great photos 🙋🏻‍♀️💓 #familyouting #cheorwontrip #cheorwon #gangwondotrip #placestovisitincheorwon

#Cafe with a good view You can't feel it in franchise cafes like Starbucks, Ediya, and Tous Les Jours 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ I visited a cafe that was stylish and with a really perfect outdoor background😄 As rumored, the 🌳wood design🌳 was beautiful and the view was the best☺ wifi⭕ bathroom⭕ service5/4.8 #Restaurant with a good view #coffee #netflix #tree #background #hot place

It is said that Goseokjeong was called Goseokjeong after King Jinpyeong of Silla built a pavilion there! The tall Goseokam in the middle creates a spectacular view! If you ride a Tongtongbae, you can see the terrain of the Hantangang River basin in more detail! There is also a flower garden inside the Goseokjeong tourist site, so let's take lots of pretty pictures!🌸 📍Everyday 11:00-21:00 📍Tongtongbae Experience: 5,000 won #Vacation trip #Cheorwon #Goseokjeong

Im Kkeokjeong Garden, a famous Cheorwon restaurant near Tanriver Spa Hotel, is a spicy fish stew restaurant. Im Kkeokjeong Garden is a place where you can taste spicy fish stew, sujebi, and grilled deodeok from Cheorwon. #CheorwonRestaurant #ImKkeokjeongGarden

📍Address: Druni Ticket Office - Guntan-ri, Galmal-eup, Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do, San 174 📍I visited Hantangang Geopark just last weekend. There are currently two paths to enjoy Hantangang Geopark, namely, the Jando Trail and the Mulwit Trail. The Mulwit Trail is a course where you walk over the Hantangang River in the winter and can only be used in the winter. The Jando Trail that I walked this time was newly opened at the end of last year and is a path built on a cliff. Sometimes, you can pass over a suspension bridge. Jando Trail seems to be a great course to properly see the Hantangang columnar joints. It is about 3.6 km and takes about an hour and a half, and there are some uphill and downhill stairs, so I thought it might be a bit difficult for the elderly or young children. I arrived at Hantangang River around 10 am, but there were already many people walking, so I thought this place is currently the most popular tourist destination in Korea. 📍 Average price per person: 10,000KRW The entrance fee is 10,000KRW, but 5,000KRW is given as change in local gift certificates.

One winter, I visited the Hantangang Jando-gil while going to the hot springs at Hantangang with my friends. The Hantangang River is a river with more diverse and beautiful scenery than any other river in Korea, with vertical cliffs and valleys forming here and there. Among them, the most famous is the Seungilgyo (昇日橋), an arch bridge jointly built by the South and the North, which was constructed under Kim Il-sung right after liberation and completed under Syngman Rhee right after the armistice, and which is a product of the tragedy of the division of the South and the North. The most recently opened #Columnar Joint Road (completed on October 19th last year) is a 3.6km section along the Hantangang Valley, which is registered as a Nesco World Geopark. It is a course of about 7.2km round trip from the Sundam Ticket Office to the Deureuni Ticket Office. #Cheorwon #CheorwonTravel #Hantangang #HantangJando-gil

Cheorwon Hantangang Columnar Joint Road Sundam ~ Deureuni Village Section (3.6km) The width of the path is 1.5m. It is 1,415m including the bridge and cable observation deck, 2,275m of the walking deck, and consists of 13 bridges and 3 observation decks. For safety, 300 people can enter 8 times a day. The path is a man-made path next to the cliff. You can see the beautiful scenery of Cheorwon up close, but it does not damage nature... Thanks to this, anyone, regardless of age or gender, can see Cheorwon's columnar joints. Admission hours: 09:00 ~ 17:00 (ticket sales close at 16:00) Admission fee 10,000 (Cheorwon Love Gift Certificate 5,000 won returned) #Cheorwon #Yeoncheon #Hot place #Safe travel

Sambuyeon Falls, a waterfall with such beautiful scenery in Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do The surrounding maple trees and the magnificent stream of water falling from the cliff are breathtaking The surrounding natural scenery is so beautiful that you can't stop looking at it It's such an attractive place!! If you want to be immersed in nature, you must visit Sambuyeon Falls!! Location: Sincheolwon-ri, Galmal-eup, Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do #CheorwonTravel #FallFall #SambuyeonFalls #Cheorwon #Autumn #Waterfall

Before winter comes, I went to the mountain with my mom to see the fall foliage and welcome late fall :) I didn't want to go until I got to the mountain, but once I got there, the fall foliage was so pretty that I looked at it for a long time🍂🍁 It was so colorful and pretty that I wanted to hike👍 I recommend going to the mountain and seeing nature before it gets colder. #CheorwonTravel #FallFoliageTravel #FallFoliage #Hiking #Myeongseongsan #FallFoliageTree

Location: Gangwon-do Cheorwon-gun Galmal-eup Sangsari Operating hours: Weekdays 09:00 - 17:00 Public holidays 09:00 - 17:00 This is a bridge where you can see the Hantangang River, which is registered as a UNESCO World Geopark. It is a sturdy bridge, but it is tense because the bottom is open! If you cross the bridge and go up the hill, you can see the Cheorwon Plain at a glance. Everyone, please come and visit~! #CheorwonTravel #GinkgoTreeRoad #FallFallTravel #FallTravelDestination #ViewRestaurant #SafeTravel

#springitinerary Cheorwon might not be on everyone’s Korea bucket list, but if you’re into chill nature walks with a side of history, this place delivers. The river walk is super laid-back, just a peaceful path along the water, with mountains in the distance and barely any crowds. You’ll spot birds, cute little bridges, and maybe even deer if you’re lucky. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down and just breathe for a second. Plus, there’s this quiet, kinda haunting vibe because you're not far from the DMZ. You’ll see old train tracks, bunkers, and remnants from the war scattered around, which is low-key fascinating. It’s like a walk through both nature and time. Bring a camera, wear comfy shoes, and don’t expect anything flashy, just a peaceful, scenic stroll in a spot most people overlook. Honestly, super underrated day trip.

#HawaiiFlightEvent This is the space you see as soon as you enter the cafe. The emotional menu posters and planter are impressive~! It is a pretty cafe where you can feel the cozy and warm atmosphere and stay comfortably. Various types of cups fill the display case, and there were some products that I really wanted. ^^ The plants and paintings that can be found everywhere are in harmony, and the warm colored lighting feels calm and cozy. Although prices are going up like crazy these days, Timeless is relatively affordable, which is good. Also, the handmade cookies and butter bars that you can enjoy together are really great. The butter bars are only sold on weekends, and since they are so popular, the maximum purchase quantity per person is 4, so please keep that in mind~! Of course, the sell-out time is flexible, so it would be best to come as early as possible. It seems that they bake all the cookies themselves, and they have a variety of lineups, so you can enjoy them according to your taste, which is also an advantage. Americano Hot, Ice, and Butter Bar. Both Americano and Butter Bar were 4,000 won, so I could enjoy them without any burden. In the blink of an eye, one Butter Bar disappeared, so I bought one more and ate it~! The crunchy yet moderately chewy texture was attractive, and the strong butter flavor went really well with Americano! If you like sweet things, this is a menu you can never go wrong with, so definitely try it! ^^

#HawaiiAirlineEvent The location of Cheonghaeru is next to the Cheorwon Dongsong Intercity Terminal. If you go about 10m into the alley next to the Olive Young building, you can see it right away and find it easily. When you enter, there are kiosks and tables, and a place to dispose of leftover food is prepared below the menu. Unusually, here, you have to clean up the leftover food yourself and return the dishes by type. A tray of jajangmyeon costs 7,000 won, and a chadol jjambbong costs 8,500 won. The tray of jajangmyeon is slightly spicy, so you can eat it without adding red pepper powder without feeling greasy. I recommend this menu because you can feel various textures with small seafood. The chadol jjambbong that I ordered together has an incredible spicy flavor. The chadol was also a large amount, so I was able to enjoy it with the rich soup.

#HawaiiAirlineEvent If you go across the street from Dongsong Intercity Terminal and enter the alley, it is right there on the left. I visited here on the recommendation of an acquaintance, and I was satisfied with the clean interior and spacious seats. The lighting was just right, so it wasn't too dark, and the music wasn't too loud, which made it a good place to have a drink while chatting. Above all, there were a variety of light snacks, so I thought it was a good place to have a simple drink as a second round. There were also various types of highballs, and the snacks were also varied, such as fried food, soup, and pasta. Mr. Lee's Chicken didn't have a thick batter, and the shape of the fried powder was well preserved, so it felt like eating Japanese-style tonkatsu. The crunchy sound was refreshing when I bit into it, and it wasn't the texture you usually feel with chicken, so it was new at first. There are three types of sauces: ketchup, seasoned chicken, mayonnaise, and a spicy sauce mixed with gochujang or sriracha. Overall, it was good because the sauces went well together, so I could change them up and eat them. When you start to feel tired from the fried food, take a spoonful of Fine Shavuot and it will give you a refreshing and sweet taste.
