3The reborn of Songdo Beach after 100 years

The elderly’s beach destination back in the day is transformed into a hot spot for the youth! Let’s check out Songdo Beach, the trending hot spot on social media. Opened in 1913, Songdo Beach is the first beach in Korea. After its golden period in the 1960s and 1970s, the beach became deserted. Those who wished to bring it back to its former beauty joined forces to repair the abandoned beach, making it even more breathtaking than it was in its heyday. With its spotless sandy beach, clear water, cloud trails, and an overwater cable car, Songdo Beach is once again a popular tourist destination receiving over five million visitors per year.

5Embrace the Nakdonggang River at Unsusa Temple

As suggested by the name, Unsusa Temple is famous for its beautiful clouds and water. Perhaps, that is why it is survived as a great place to pray and practice asceticism over a thousand years. Fresh energy flowing from old trees that cover the sky fills up the walking trail. Daeungjeon Hall, designated as a national treasure, sits modestly. Gazing at the unique floral door at the Daeungbojeon Hall, people are immediately drawn to it. Sit on the small veranda porch by the kitchen to appreciate the maker who built the spot to comfort visitors. Stand by the Beomjonggak Pavilion, where anyone can ring the bell to watch the Nakdonggang River flow underfoot far away
