I turn on the news every morning while I'm getting ready for work.

Right before the weather forecast at the end of the news,a short video about 20 seconds longcomes on.

There are many programs that introduce Korea from coast to coast, but I think many people may not know about this corner of the news.

I'm here to introduce it.

Gongju Hanok Village

A place where you can spend a night in a traditional Korean house where you can feel the breath of the ancient Baekje capital.

It is a newly built traditional Korean house made of pine and cedar, with a facility that allows you to experience the Korean traditional heating system, Ondol, which is convenient for modern people to stay in.

It is a great place for family trips, school trips, and workshops for institutions and groups, for both sightseeing and relaxation.

A park built around the Bongsoo village in Jinan-gun, located on the lower reaches of the Juja Stream that flows into Yongdam Lake.

In spring, the coreopsis flowers bloom in full bloom, creating a spectacular sight, and in autumn, it is famous for its beautiful scenery of morning mist and autumn foliage.

Aquatic plants grow in clusters here, and various wildflowers bloom throughout the seasons, so

many people come here for photography.

In particular, the scenery of Jucheon Ecological Park, where the lake and trees blend together, is like a painting when reflected in the lake, making it

many people marvel.

It's a great place to relax and take a walk, and there are many things to see, such as cluster forestation, aquatic plant gardens, and wildflower gardens.

Gongsan Fortress

Address: 53-51, Geumseong-dong, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do

UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A representative fortress from the Baekje period, it is a mountain fortress of Baekje that defended Gongju when Gongju was the capital of Baekje.

It was the capital of Baekje until the 16th year of King Seong of Baekje (538), when the capital was moved to Buyeo, and

it was the center of local administration until the Joseon Dynasty, making it an important historic site with great historical value.

It is a fortress in the shape of a valley that surrounds the valley of a mountain on the banks of the Geum River. Originally, it was an earthen fortress, but

it was changed to a stone fortress in the Joseon Dynasty.

The exact date of construction is unknown, and it was called Ungjinseong during the Baekje period, Gongjusanseong or Gongsanseong during the Goryeo period, and

Ssangsusanseong after King Injo fled there during the Ikwol Rebellion (1623).

It is rectangular in shape, approximately 800 meters east-west and 400 meters north-south.

Gate ruins have been confirmed in all four directions, with Jinnamlou, the south gate, and Gongbukrou, the north gate, remaining.

The east gate and west gate only had their ruins remaining, but in 993, Yeongdonglou was restored on the site of the east gate, and Geumseorou was restored on the site of the west gate.

Many artifacts have been unearthed, including lotus-patterned roof tiles, Baekje tiles, pottery, and artifacts from the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasties.

Walking along the fortress walls, you can see Gongju City at a glance.

During the Baekje Cultural Festival, you can cross the Geum River by a pontoon bridge from in front of Gongsan Fortress to Geumgang Shingwan Park.

At Geumseorou, you can see the grandeur of the Baekje Kingdom through the "Ungjinseong Guard Change Ceremony," and

at Geumgang Shingwan Park, you can enjoy the beautiful night scenery of Gongsan Fortress. (Source: Korea Tourism Organization)

Jeodong Port

Address: Jeodong-ri, Ulleung-eup, Ulleung-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do

The largest port in Ulleung-gun, where most of Ulleungdo's squid is handled.

It is a fishing base with a fish market, and it is always bustling and lively.

"Jeodong Eohwa (苧洞漁火)," famous for the lights of squid fishing boats, is one of the eight scenic spots of Ulleung.

Choddae Rock, located next to the port breakwater, is said to be a daughter who lived with her single father and waited for her father who went out to sea but never returned, turning into a rock. It is also called Hyo-nyeo Rock.

Jeodong was called "Mosiggae" because there was a lot of ramie growing in the mudflats during the development period, meaning "mudflats with a lot of ramie."

When the place name was written in Chinese characters, it was written as "Jeodong" using the Chinese character for ramie, "Jeo (苧)."
