Moonella’s Pink Story in Seoul

Moonella and family came to Seoul for vacation! It’s such a very beautiful day which welcome their journey in Korea. The first episode of Moonella’s vacation in Korea is “Pink Story”. We went to the famous and “kekinian” cafe in Hongdae which all design is pink, Style Nanda Pink Cafe. She was the most excited when she found the small swimming pool inside the cafe and started to play with water. #rufustory captured all the happiness of Moonella’s Pink Story moment through pictures.

Zapangi Cafe

Everyone must know the most famous vending machine in Korea. Eventually this vending machine is actually the main door of Zapangi Cafe which is so cute, unique, iconic, and instagram-worty. Even though the location of this cafe is somehow far from the main city area, but many people do visit this cafe to experience entering the inside of vending machine while taking picture beside the vending machine is a must.

Once you get inside the vending machine, you will see a simply minimalist-style interior of Zapangi Cafe with some pink color ornament as theit iconic color. The room is not that big, it’s on the first floor of apartment building in residence area. But when you have a really good concept and marketing of a cafe, people will definetly value it.

They dont have that many kind of menu, but most of them are so cute with some special detailed colorful ornament on the drink / cake. One of the most favorit one is Rainbow Sherbet with the colorful cream and unicorn cookie as topping.

[HowToGetThere]

Take subway and get off at Mangwon Station (line 6, brown)
As soon as you come out from exit 2, turn right and keep going straight for arounfd 200 m and the cafe will be on your left.
You can take taxi and show this address to the driver.

Gunpo Royal Azalea Festival

Late April is the time for Royal Azalea blooms in Korea. One of the best spot to see these beautiful flower is in Gunpo, Gyeonggido, around 45 mins away from Seoul.

Royal Azalea is really similar to Azalea (read here), especially the form of flower. The difference is only in the size of the tree because Royal Azalea tree is smaller and bloom 2-3 weeks after Azalea. The color is also the same, red, purple, and pink.

The festival is usually held on the last weekend of April. In 2017, it was held between April 28-302017, which already ended for this year. However you can still see the flower until 2 weeks after since the flower bloomed a little bit late this year.

[HOWTOGETTHERE]

Take subway line 4 to Surisan Station
Take exit 3 and go straight for about 400m

Wansan Park, Jeonju

If you look for the King Cherry Blossom and colorful Royal Azaleas, Wansan Park in Jeonju is the best place to visit. Since it’s located just next to Jeonju Hanok Village, you can reach this place after you spend some hours in the famous Hanok Village, only 30 mins by walking.

King Cherry Blossom is another type of Cherry Blossom flower, but the flower is more pink, bigger and has more petals.

Royal Azalea in Wansan Park has some two colors, the red and pink one.

Something you can’t forgot is taking good photos.

[TIPS]

- You can get to Jeonju by taking public bus from Express Bus Terminal to Jeonju city which is available every 10 mins
- If bus terminal is too far from your area, the easier way to travel is joining oneday shuttle bus to Jeonju organized by Trazy where they have pick up points on popular area such as myeongdong, hongdae and dongdaemun. Click here Travel with Trazy
- Once you arrive to Jeonju City (by your own) or to Jeonju Hanok Village with Trazy, read my instruction bellow.

[HOWTOGETTHERE]

Walk from Bus Terimal to Geumam Gwanjang Intersection (금암관장사거리) for about 5-10mins, and take right and you will find bus stop. Take bus 165.
Get off at Nambu Market Bus Stop (남부시장). As soon as you get off, go to your left and keep going straight until you see a river and bridge.
(If you wanna visit after spending time in Jeonju Village, you can go to a big road next to Jeoju Cathedral, and turn left, towards a river and bridge)

As you find the bridge, you will see small hill on your right.

Find the entrance to the hill (steep stairs) and Wansan Park is just behind that hill.

Take the stairs and as soon as you reach the top, take left, go straight untill you find way down exit, and take left again and you will see the entrance of the Wansan Park on your right.

Jinhae (2017 updated)

Everyone knows that Jinhae city is the most beautiful place in Korea for seeing cherry blossom. It’s super recommended for travellers who come to Korea during late March until April 1st week to visit this city. Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival itself held between April 1 – 10 everyear. Why it’s so pretty? The whole entire is city is PINK as cherry blossom grows everywhere.

Gyeonghwa Station

Gyonghwa Station is used to be train station where cherry blossoms trees grow along the rail way. They also put the real train during Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival to make it more beautiful.

If you are a photographer and like to take perfect picture, you can come to this place at the dawn and use long exposure when it’s still dark. I arrived at 5.15am in the morning and took some best shots.

Yeojwacheon Stream

The 2nd must visited place after Gyeonghwa Station when you are in Jinhae is Yeojwacheon Stream where you can see the cherry blossom tree along the stream for about 1 km long.

Jinhae Inland Water Ecopark

At the end of Yeojwacheon Stream, they have a park with small lake called Jinhae Inland Water Ecopark.

Jinhae Naval Base Command

You ca also take a stroll to the left side of Yeojwacheon stream (5 mins walking) to visit the Jinhae Naval Base Command area where you can also see chery blossoms

Jinhae District Office

Jinhae is a perfect place to explore cherry blossom spot as the whole city has it. I went to the Jinhae District Office area, 30 mins away from Yeojwacheon or 20 mins away from Gyeonghwa Station by bus 307. They have cherry blossom trees around the area.

Just next to the district office, there is a way uphill where you will find baseball court,

If you keep walking uphill you will see a pink hill, full of cherry blossom

Wood Culture Experience Centre (목재문화체험장)

Keep walking from Jinhae district office and take the left way in the intersection to visit the Wood Culture Experience Centre.

Jinhae Dream Park

My cherry blossom adventure is not finished yet as I explore the Jinhae Dream Park and the surrounding, next to the culture centre to take some best photos.
