Sangju

It’s been 11^th to travel Gyeongbuk province where beautiful and a lot to see in Korea.

I am very happy to have this fabulous chance to travel wonderful place all around Korea.

The people live with in nature, Gyeongbuk Sangju is destination today!

Sangju is the city famous for dried persimmon. There are a lot of persimmon trees in the city.

I enjoyed the beautiful Sangju sight to the full.

I saw many bicycle riders more than a car.

Sangju is the city famous for bicycle. Therefore I could get to see more bicycle rider than driver and the bike lane were everywhere. Here is the best street to ride a bike!

I got some fresh air and arrived at bicycles museum.

You can see easily that the building is for bicycle museum. The design of building was very great.

I looked in inside, interior was very neat and I could see the history of bike in an easy way.

In 1818, Draisine is very first bike and also there is the present one.

Very unique bike, Korea's first bike and history ; there are a lot of interesting information.

Sangju Bicycles Museum is interally "Bicycles paradise" that has everything about bicycles.

I head for dried persimmon farm. On the street, I feel autumn is in the air.

The pumpkin on the roof, the path lined with swaying cosmos and well-ripended golden rice plants were swaying in the wind.

This scenery was very beautiful!

I was passing by gorgeous landscape, I found the tree is full persimmon.

I saw people was drying persimmon. It looked very tempting.

The dried persimmon is a very nutritious fruit, containing vitamin C, vitamin A. Therefore many foreigners really like it and Korean as well.

I strongly recommend tasting dried persimmon. It's so delicious and healthy too.

After that I went to Gyeongcheondae.

Gyeongcheondae is the pride of the Sangju where is very beautiful place. So that many photographers want to take a picture in here.

This road is famous for its scenic walks up to the hill Gyeongcheondae.

I was walking along the walks........

I found observatory to see Gyeongcheondae's wonderful sight.

It was just awesome!!

It was pretty similar landscape where I went to Hoeryongpo.

A waterway looks round and so beautiful, it's nothing can make the same great waterway I though.

I took a look at it from a different angle which has different beauty.

I found a sign "Sangdo" which is KBS drama shooting location in front of Gyeongcheondae.

I saw the real Gyeongcheondae on the wat to shooting location.

The view was great from artificial viewing platform. But view from natural rock was more awesome!!

I turn to the drama shooting location again. I arrived at "Sangdo"shooting location.
I saw a thatched-roof house. It was small and looked cozy.

I look into the inside. The interior of the house was like go back to the past of Korea.

I felt I am back to the past to take a time machine. The restored interior was just perfect.

There are lots of thigs to see and eat in Sangju such as yummy dried persimmon, bicycle museum and beautiful Gyeongcheondae with Nakdong River. Sangju city is very eco-friendly cith I thought.

The area might not be easy to get to but if you really want to see real Korea as it is outside the tourists, make the effort to spend a few days in the area.

you will never regret to travel this city!!
