Places I visited in KOREA: Hanok Village, Namsan Tower, Cherry Blossoms, & Myeongdong Cathedral

in #travel6 years ago (edited)

Hi everyone! Okay, so this is a very challenging step for me to make a post even though I already posted yesterday. I stopped posting, basically stopped using steemit for a long time because I wasn't so motivated to write and now I'm just challenging myself to keep back on track.

Last time I posted about traveling a lot of countries was still in my introductory post and I remember someone left a comment and said it would be nice if I posted a separate experience about visiting Korea sooooo, I came back to Korea and saved some photos for you because the previous time, I wasn't able to take a lot of photos. It wasn't in my mind to blog and share my experiences. I've actually been keeping these photos for a month or so already... just wasn't feeling to post it, but now, I'm seriously gonna do it so, I hope you enjoy reading.

Let's start here because I want to show you how beautiful their traditional clothes are. This place is called Hanok Village. This photo was taken in the Hanok guesthouse.

I actually have two escorts and this is how it looks like outside the guesthouse. I seriously felt like a princess here (Mulan) even though I was in South Korea. Don't we look like we have the same clothes?

Of course, what is traveling to Korea if you don't experience the famous Cherry Blossoms. You're not allowed to take any though. You'll probably get fined or go to prison cos' it's highly restricted. You can, however, take a look and some photos. This is my favorite whenever I come to Korea. It's the cherry blossoms. It's just awesome and colorful and mystical. I don't know why I even think it's mystical. Maybe because in anime superpower movies, you always get to see those kinds of flowers? I don't know. I just love it.

If you ever visit Korea with your special someone, don't forget to visit this Seoul Tower with love locks. If you want to waste some time there because you have nothing else to do, start reading from the first lock till the end. I promise you'll enjoy. That's if you learn how to speak Korean because most of the writings are written in Korean but that's fine. You can also just find the ones written in English :D

This is a pond. It's still in Hanok Village. Isn't it pretty? I think I look like I'm in a painting. I wanted to swim there but I was wearing a dress. Not very ladylike so I had to behave myself.

This is the Namsan Tower. Ever heard of this? Now you have. It's very popular in Korea just like the Hanok Village. One of the most visited tourist spots. Cool right? This is actually the other name of Seoul Tower where I took the photo of the love locks. You can go to Namsan Tower if you have a date. It's supposed to be a romantic place but if you don't have one, then just go by yourself. No one will stop you. We should all love ourselves. It's actually pretty cool at night cos' the tower lights up with different colors. It's like this magical tower in movies that lights up when it's about to release its powers. Seriously.


This one is the Myeongdong Cathedral. This is the birthplace of Roman Catholic church in South Korea. If you feel you have so many sins then you're welcome to go there and pray. If you feel you don't have sins, you can still go there and pray. If you don't pray, that's fine, as long as you don't hurt anyone. Love yourself :)

I guess that is all. I didn't have a lot of time when I visited Korea. You know, being a flight attendant, we don't always get so many days of break when we go to a country. I do have honorable photos I added below for you to see. I hope you enjoyed reading. Until next time.




























P.S. This baby is a cutie.
