Chungcheongnam-do(Seosan-si)

The exact founding date of Munsusa Temple is unknown because there are no official records that have been discovered. The temple is estimated to date back to the Goryeo Dynasty, because a prayer found at the Gilt-bronze Seated Buddha in the temple’s Geungnaksiljeon Hall (hall of paradise) in 1973 dates back to 1346. Around 600 items were discovered along with the prayer, including unbleached ramie cloth, a short-sleeved gown, rice, and barley. Munsunsa has the tranquil atmosphere of a mountain temple. When spring arrives, cherry blossom flowers and wild flowers bloom across the mountain and the nearby cattle farm call to mind a traditional Korean painting. Munsusa Geungnaksiljeon Hall is a beautiful building constructed according to Jusimpo style (the column brackets placed only on top of the columns) combined with Dapo style (the column brackets placed between columns as well as on top of the columns). It is designated as Chungcheongnam-do Tangible Cultural Property No. 13. Inside the gorgeously and majestically carved hall are many relics including Gilt-bronze Seated Buddha, Samsebulsang statues (statues of Buddhas of Three Times (past, present and future)), Nahansang statues (statues of disciples of Buddha), and various portraits of Buddha. The Gilt-bronze Seated Buddha (x_height: 70cm, length between knees: 50cm) was created in 1346 (the second year of King Chungmok’s reign, the29th king of the Goryeo Dynasty). It is one of the fine examples of late Goryo dynasty style Buddha statue along with Gilt-bronze Seated Bhaisajyaguru Buddha of Janggoksa Temple (Treasure No.337).

The Renaissance of Rest: A Gastronomic Journey at "Pulmuone Sky Hub Lounge (Incheon Airport Branch)" (Where the Philosophy of "Wholesome Food" Meets Premium Relaxation) Incheon, South Korea — In the vocabulary of the modern global nomad, the airport experience has evolved. It is no longer about mere transit or the passive endurance of waiting; it is about the quality of the pause between journeys. As of August 2025, Incheon International Airport has unveiled a transformative evolution in traveler hospitality that sets a new global standard. Welcome to the newly reimagined Pulmuone Sky Hub Lounge (Incheon Airport Branch). This is not a standard outsourced facility. It is directly operated by Pulmuone, the pioneer of Korea’s LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) movement. With the grand renewal of all five strategic locations, Pulmuone has infused its corporate philosophy of "Barun-Meokgeori" (Wholesome Food) into every corner. Moving far beyond simple relaxation, the new vision integrates "Health," "Sustainability," and the "Harmony of Tradition and Gastronomy."     The Pulmuone Difference: A Culinary Sanctuary       If there is one reason why international travelers rate this lounge "5 Stars," it is the food quality managed directly by Pulmuone. The menu is a curated balance of vitality and comfort, offering a diverse array of options that satisfy both the wellness-seeker and the gourmet explorer. 1. The "Bean Bar" & Plant-Forward Zone: The Art of Tofu Reflecting Pulmuone's heritage as Korea's tofu master, the lounge offers specialized zones focusing on high-protein, plant-based nutrition. • Signature Tofu Noodles: Experience the texture of "Dubumyeon" (Tofu Noodles). Light, savory, and gluten-free, these dishes offer a satisfying meal without the post-carb heaviness—perfect conditioning before a long flight. • Vegan Delights: From fresh broccoli tofu salads to nutritious natto bowls, the "Plant-Forward" menu caters to the global demand for sustainable dining that is as delicious as it is ethical. 2. The Soul of Korean Flavor: "Bibimbap" & "Hot Dishes" This is your last chance to taste the authentic spirit of Korea before departure. • The DIY Bibimbap Ritual: Engage in the cultural ritual of crafting your own bowl. A station filled with fresh seasonal vegetables, fluffy rice, and Pulmuone’s signature gochujang allows you to create a meal that is healthy, colorful, and deeply satisfying. • Comfort Food Feast: Indulge in the warmth of a traditional Korean kitchen. The hot food station features Direct-Fire Bulgogi, savory Jeon (Korean pancakes), and street-food favorites like Soupy Tteokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes) and Fried Seaweed Rolls (Gimmari). 3. The "Slow Aging" Innovation (Exclusive to T2 East) In a world-first initiative for an airport, the Terminal 2 East Wing lounge introduces the "Slow Aging Zone." Here, the menu is scientifically designed with low-glycemic, antioxidant-rich ingredients to promote longevity and sustained energy, redefining what "airport food" can be. 4. Sweet Endings & Cheers Complete your meal with traditional desserts like Yakgwa (honey cookies) and Sikhye (sweet rice punch). Pair your feast with a glass of wine or a cold draft beer on tap to toast to your journey.     A Tale of Three Concepts: Distinct Vibes       The renewal has bestowed a unique identity upon each lounge, turning a visit into a curated discovery. Terminal 1 (The Lounge of Wisdom): Captures the "Aesthetics of Slowness" with displays of traditional cast-iron cauldrons (Gamasot) and evocative photography. Terminal 2 (Nature & Artisan): A sensory retreat featuring media art, artisan craft exhibitions, and a "Sound Experience" zone that replicates the comforting sounds of a traditional kitchen (Buttumak) for auditory healing. Concourse (Art & Rest): Designed as a "Library of Rest," offering an emotional retreat with curated books and visual art masterpieces.   [Traveler’s Note] Pulmuone Sky Hub Lounge (Incheon Airport Branch) is accessible to holders of Priority Pass (PP Card), LoungeKey, and various partner credit cards.

In search of a great place to build a Buddhist Temple invoking national security, Great Monk Uisang travelled around the country and reached this place. He built a small thatched hut here for a temporary stay and continued his search. Finally, he found a perfect place and built Buseoksa Temple. He also set up another temple in the site where his small thatched hut was and called it Choamsa Temple. Choamsa Temple is located below the valley in the south of Gungmangbong Peak of Sobaeksan Mountain. After the Korean War, the temple building had to be rebuilt, but it managed to preserve some of Provincial Tangible Cultural Asset including Samcheung Seoktap (a three-storied stone pagoda; Tangible Cultural Property 126), Dongbudo (East Stupa; Tangible Cultural Property 128) and Seobudo (West Stupa; Tangible Cultural Property 129). * Jukgyegugok Valley The valley stretching from Baejeom-ni to Choamsa Temple is called Jukgyegugok which Sobaeksan Mountain surrounds like a folding screen. Near the valley, one can find famous tourist attractions such as the Sosuseowon Confucian Academy and Buseoksa Temple. Toegye Yi Hwang came up with the name Jukgyegugok inspired by the fantastic scenery of the valley and the beautiful sound of the flowing water.

The "Hermes" of K-Pubs: Why Locals Are Obsessed with Tudari Canal Walk (A Spacious, Glamorous Twist on Korea’s Favorite Nightlife Spot) Incheon, South Korea — Let me share a secret that even some locals in Incheon are just discovering. If you think you know "Tudari"—the famous, cozy, retro Korean pub found on every street corner—you need to erase that image from your mind before you visit Songdo. Located in the Summer Zone of the beautiful NC Cube Canal Walk, the Tudari Canal Walk Branch is different. It is known among trendsetters as the "Upgrade Version" or the "Luxury Edition" of the classic brand. If you are a female traveler seeking the authentic taste of a Korean night out but prefer a setting that is spacious, clean, and incredibly stylish, this is the only place you need to know.       The "Wow" Factor: Is This Really a Pub? When you first arrive, you might pause and ask, "Wait, is this really Tudari?" That is the most common reaction from first-time visitors. Unlike the typical small, dimly lit taverns, this branch boasts a grand, open interior with high ceilings and sophisticated design. Reviews from local women frequently praise it as the "most beautiful Tudari in Korea." • The Vibe: Think "Chic Lounge" meets "Retro Pub." The kitchen is enclosed in glass, allowing you to watch the chefs grilling skewers in real-time—a culinary theater that adds to the excitement. • Spacious & Private: One of the biggest complaints about nightlife in Korea can be the cramped seating. Here, the tables are widely spaced, offering privacy for deep conversations. There is even a stylish long bar in the center, perfect for solo travelers or couples who want to enjoy a drink without pressure. It is airy, vibrant, and incredibly photogenic. A 30-Year Legacy, Reimagined This isn't just a pretty face. This branch operates under the prestigious title of the "Skewer Research Institute." While the atmosphere is modern, the flavors are deeply rooted in a 30-year heritage. It is where the comfort of "Soul Food" meets the precision of a fine dining kitchen. The "Freshness" Ritual (And an Insider Tip!) Here is why this specific branch tastes better. In a world of frozen convenience, this team is obsessed with "Daily Freshness." Every morning, the staff hand-selects the finest ingredients. From the tender chicken to the crisp vegetables, everything is prepped fresh on the day it is served. [Travel Tip] Because they strictly adhere to using only daily-prepared ingredients, they often sell out of popular items. If ingredients run out, they close the kitchen early. This isn't poor planning; it’s a badge of quality. It means nothing is left over, and nothing is stale. My advice? Go early (around 6 PM or 7 PM) to ensure you get the full menu experience! The Menu: Your "Must-Eat" Checklist If you are new to Korean pub culture, these are the legendary dishes you must order: 1. The Soul-Healer: "Signature Kimchi Udon" This is the dish that made the brand famous. Thick, chewy udon noodles arrive bubbling in a stone pot, submerged in a rich, spicy kimchi broth. It is savory, spicy, and warms you from the inside out. It is the ultimate comfort food after a day of walking. 2. The Skewer Party: "Assorted Yakitori" Experience the "Research Institute" difference. I recommend the Assorted Skewers to try a little bit of everything. From crispy chicken skins to garlic-roasted gizzards and asparagus wrapped in bacon, the charcoal flavor is exquisite. It’s fun, shareable finger food at its finest. 3. The Perfect Sip: "Lemon Sawa" & Highballs Skip the heavy beers. To match the glamorous interior, order a "Hyomin Sawa" (Lemon Sour) or a refreshing Highball. These drinks are light, citrusy, and slightly sweet—the trendy choice for stylish Korean women. The Location: A Romantic Stroll in "Venice" The experience extends beyond the restaurant. Located in the Canal Walk, the setting is undeniably romantic. We recommend sitting near the windows or taking a walk along the artificial canal after your meal. The European-style architecture and soft lighting reflecting off the water create a magical atmosphere. It is safe, clean, and the perfect ending to your Songdo adventure.         A Note on Hospitality Hospitality here is as premium as the interior. The staff are trained to provide the "Best Taste and Service," ensuring that international visitors feel welcomed and cared for. You can enjoy the buzzing energy of a Korean pub with the comfort and service of a high-end restaurant.

Historically the forest was called Orijangnim (오리장림) but nowadays it is also widely known as the Jacheon Forest (자천숲). The name Orijangnim originates from the fact that in olden days, before roads were established, there was a thick forest that stretched as far as "O-ri (five-ri or 1963m)"surrounding Jacheon-ri. As the national road was developed, the forest was divided into two parts, and afterwards major parts of the forest were lost to school buildings, wider roads and Typhoon Sara. It’s surely a pity that only the remaining settlements near Jacheon village can give us a feeling on what life was like in the forest long ago. However, as you drive down the un-crowded road, surely you will be able to feel the tranquility of the region. Around 400 years ago when the forest was first created, villagers annually held a ritual at midnight on the 15th of January of the lunar year to pay tribute to their ancestors and wish for peace and safety in the village. The forest houses more than 10 species of trees that come in a variety of fantastic shapes looking just like potted plants. In the summer, the cool wind of Gohyeoncheon Stream, flows in front of Jacheon Village and keeps visitors cool and refreshed, while shade from the trees of Orijangnim seem to completely blot out the the sun. Composition of Orijangnim The forest has a total of 12 species of trees made up of 9 species of 231 broadleaf trees including a gingko tree, Glandulosa willow; oriental oak; Hemipteleae davidii; Zelkova serrata; and Celtis Sinensis, to name a few. As for evergreen trees, there are 3 species of them including pine trees, black pine trees; and the Himalayan Cedar. Most of the trees in the forest are huge with an average age ranging from 20 to 350 years and a x_height of six to 24 meters.
