Cheong Song

The new season has come without anyone realizing it in S. Korea. At End of Fall, I head to Cheong Song.

It's famous for its scenic beauty green and clear nature so it means spirit's world in Korean.

I’d like to introduce fall in Gyeongsangbuk-do before changing their weather fall to winter.

When I was reached in Cheong Song, I went to Jusanji Pond, has been 300 years old and good to sight of sunrise.




While walking to there, I can see superb natural landscape, Mt. Juwangsan, called nature walking road so I can get some information from educational facilities about natural phenomenon around the road.

It's so interesting and amusing time to Jusanji pond for that path.




Walking on the road with autumn colors makes me happy and excite.

Not for a while along that path, I can see the Jusanji pond.




It has been water for agricultural use in the remote past in Korea. It is a 100m long, 50m wide and 8m deep small pond in Mt. Juwangsan National Park. Since it was constructed, it has never dried up even during the severest drought.

So many people has depended on it. Now, It's the picture of Jusanji pond.

It is famous and huge willow trees grew up in that pond. It is one of the good place to take a photo.

Now, Let's see the Beauty of Jusanji pond.





It's huge willow trees with wet fog at Jusanji pond. It's so beautiful, isn't it?

What a wonderful sight ,It is only Cheong Song Jusanji pond.

Autumn, It's looks like that Mt. Juwang's star stone are looking at me which was a dragon ascends to heaven with autumn colors according to a legend.

I think it's the sole gift that can made by nature Blue sky and grand forest.

While looking at that trees, It's sunlight to knowing that morning in Jusanji above the ridges.


After taking beauty and happy time of all things, I walked to famous Dalgi Mineral Spring in Cheong Song.





As soon as reaching it, I couldn't wait to taste it and I took a cup of water in a hurry.

It was Mineral Spring Water that the most of unique I ever had and cool and piquant.
After taking this water, It's past to have breakfast.

Just at that time, There are a lot of famous restaurant for a so we can choose and entered one.




The manager recommended Korean chicken boiled with rice were ordered by many people and good for these days.



He said the all of food they made were base with mineral water, so it's good to health and take a lot.

Actually that food were a little bit unusual but tasty.

Especially, It made with medicinal herbs so it was meaty and soft. Plus the baked chicken with spicy seasoning was good to eat. At the end, It made me forgot how much I take.




When we wake up after taking a tasty food, That manager gave a mineral water good for digest.
because of overeating, I had a cool cup of water.

It helped to take my step forward with warm hearted.

I'd like to know about Cheong song after eating, I head to Cheong Song Folklore Museum.

As soon as step in to entry, there was jangseung, Korean traditional totem pole at the village entrance.




It is a border line and road sign between town, and guard of villages.






Looking around inner museum, I thought it's good to know details about the life of Korean ancestor and Cheong Song's features.

After seeing that for a while, I came out for looking display in outside of museum.





I here were Jumaks sold for drinks with foods, house for traveler, mill belated rice with power of fallen water.

It was leaded water from the mountain, and many people worked together and exchanged some information at here.

Seeing display, I can met a wide, and fair theatre for youth at back of it by chance.






I left sculpture of apples behind, and head to Mt. Juwang designated a 12th Korean National park called the best of mountain in Gyeongsangbuk-do.

It had been called SeokByungSan because it looks like set up a screen by stone before.





According to concerned parties, It had registered as 2th Korean National park on Mar. 24, 1976 and It's own ancient figure has been for 5 billion years.
Facing the grand and fine view by Mt.Juwang, I stared blankly in front of that, not knowing what to say next.

If time let me allow, I could enjoy that scenery but there was not enough time. so I should have to change my steps.

Next place is a produce distribution center for famous apple you should have taste it when you come in Cheong Song.


when I just alive, I felt apples tempting me with their sweet smell.

It make a boast of their beauty in front of me to all of fresh apples.






Why don't you try it ? It looks good, doesn't it?

Sweet apple's scent I'll make you happy.

Fortunately, I could take an apple thanks to owner.

Taking a bite out of an apple, It's best of taste I had before, I couldn't incommensurable with the others.


It was Cheong Song to interesting and meaningful trip with green, pure, beauty of Gyeongsangbuk-do at end of autumn .

I'd like to invite you.
