Where should I go for a quiet, healing and leisurely afternoon to escape myself from busy daily life? Here is some of the healing locations on my healing bucket list.

Herbrang Forest

The first place that I thought of was Herbrang, a secret forest known where located at the foot of Geumjeongsan Mountain.
It is a beautiful garden situated in this mysterious forest. For over 30 years, the owner planted various types of trees and flowers as it grew with love and care.
The entrance is marked by two cute engraved rabbits as if they are waiting for Alice to enter Wonderland. Meanwhile, little Alices, who are searching the forest as if they’re looking for a four-leaf clover, can be found at the start of the path.
Hinoki cypress trees are lined on either sides of the road and birds sing harmonic between the branches. Moreover, small light bulbs and sweet phrases are hanging around to make your heart flutter. With its unique forest-friendly structure, there is a cafe named Herbteria which serves homegrown herbal tea, coffee and oven-baked pizza. You able to sit at the outdoor table to enjoy the aroma of herbs around with a refresh and healing experience.

Herbrang is also a popular outdoor wedding venue with its fairytale-like atmosphere that feels as you are enjoying a picnic. What a beautiful sight where you can become a fairytale character at Herbrang with the aroma of green plants and flowers around.

Coastal trail in front of the Gijang Hilton Hotel

Gijang’s blue ocean is a must-see to enjoy a healing time. The coastal trail in front of the Gijang Hilton Hotel is a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon. Furthermore, the wind around coastal trail is just nice and perfect for walks. Stroll back and forth from one end to another with a couple of times for exercise while pause for few moments to enjoy the beautiful scenery from the coastal trail.

Gijang’s coastline that can be seen from the trail features an infinitely deep emerald ocean. The sound of waves splashing against rocks on the shore adds a more refreshing experience as you walk and admire the view.
A yellow minibus is parked by the outdoor terrace in front of the trail. Grab a cup of coffee to feel like the king of the world. There’s much to do even if you’re alone. You can watch the dogs that come out for walks, feel jealous of couples that stroll hand in hand, and enjoy a healing time on your own as well.

Oncheoncheon Café Street

Featuring with beautiful and unique cafe and restaurants, Oncheoncheon Cafe street is an alley that consists of old houses filled with vintage concept where by the Oncheoncheon stream gently flows. The place is cannot be skipped when the weather is nice. In Spring, flowers are in full bloomed while greens cover the area by giving a refresh energy during summer. In fall, dainty reeds wave in welcome while you can enjoy the white snows covered Oncheoncheon stream in winter if you are lucky. As such, you can walk on wooden decks to look at the Oncheoncheon stream by watching people pass by. At last, you also can enjoy the golden sun falling on your shoulders as well as the cool breeze to end your healing day.

I feel relaxed as I watching the gently flowing stream, counting the step stones and cross over to the other side of stream.

Let's stop by a cafe that you liked wile walking along the alley where you have not been to make your travel experience more special one.

1Geumjeongsan Mountain makes Busan even more beautiful

Geumjeongsan Mountain in Busan, the most popular peak next to Bukhansan Mountain in Seoul . The mountain starts from Geumjeong-gu, Busan, stretching to Buk-gu in Yangsan-si in Gyeongsangnam-do. Thanks to its wide scope, it’s easily accessible both in the center of Busan and in the suburbs. In some cases, the entrance and the way out are far from each other. Let’s head to Geumjeongsan Mountain, which has the longest fortress in Korea, and Beomeosa Temple, one of the three largest temples in the Yeongnam area.

3Perfect picnic spot, Hwamyeong Arboretum

Hwamyeong Arboretum gently sits on the outskirts of Geumjeongsan Mountain, a great mountain in Busan. Cool currents that fill the valley and mountain breeze makes your day pleasant at the arboretum. Thanks to the walking trails and shelters scattered throughout the arboretum, all you need to do is leisurely enjoy the forest. Even the pedestrian overpass across the pond becomes part of nature and the needle- and broad-leaved trees, as well as wildflowers and tropical plants form one massive fauna before your eyes.

5Abalone rice porridge that delivers Gijang Ocean’s rich flavors into your mouth

Abalone rice porridge is one of the most familiar dishes among Korean people. Despite its popularity, the authentic dish—made with abalone intestine, making it green and slightly bitter—is not easy to find. Korean porridge restaurants usually serve the white porridge lacking abalone intestine because the ingredient is easily perishable, requiring a location near the ocean for immediate cooking of fresh abalones.
