I am going to Gyeongbuk province where is the one of the great places as named “Cheongdo” today.

It is connected to the national transportation grid by the Gyeongbu Line railroad and the Daegu-Busan Expressway.

The street looks very quiet and clean. The weather was little blur but not cold.

The signs guide visitors at places.
 

I saw some Buddhist monk in the field. They were working on a farm.

There are 260 Buddhist monks this area. Somebody told me.

Here is Unmun-sa temple’s sign.
 

Unmun-sa Temple is one of Korea's major temples and it is situated on Tiger Mountain.

This is the gate of Unmun-sa.This is the inside of view. The temple was quiet and peaceful.

Some temple was under construction.

There is weeping fine tree. This tree was designate as a natural monument 180.

Little pine tree is so pretty. Isn’t it?

This is about Weeping red pine tree.

 This bell called “ Chungdong bell” It’s huge.

 Very peaceful and make me feel quiet. 

 Look, there are Buddhist monks.

They chanted a Buddhist prayer. I didn’t understand what they were saying, but I am sure something good wish everyone~

This colorful roof was so beautiful .

These are monk’s shoes.

This is souvenir shop. There was lots of stuff that I have never seen before.

I could see Buddhist rosary and key holder. It was interesting.

Spring is coming. I am sure that if the weather is warm there will be lots of flower and trees as well.

It’s going to be nice ~

I choose the restaurant where looks the oldest one. There were many fish restaurants.


There was very special menu it called Bing fish. And it is fried. People say this location is the best for this fish.

After lunch we went Cheongdo Wine Tunnel, which is basically a wine cellar built into an abandoned railway tunnel.

Here is also famous for TV drams shooting spot.

The wine made and sold at the wine tunnel is not from grapes, but persimmons.

The manager told me 90% of the persimmons grown in Korea are from Cheongdo and there are trees bearing the fruit all over the city.

This picture is the inside of the tunnel. There is pretty light and persimmon scent~~ 

It is funny photo zone.

This is wine café.

Here, Gam wine is made of a local produce, Cheongdo flat seedless persimmons, and is a wine that has the full aroma, taste, and nutrition of fresh persimmons.



The manager told me that no matter which season, country, many customer visit here to taste this wine all year. I could learn how to storage, how to ripen to look exhibition.

It’s very nice to go out with date. The entire place was very romantic.

 This wine does not add any alcohol — it is made from 100% persimmon which is fermented with a special enzyme and is ripened for more than a year.

Here was very quaint and romantic little town with frosty permission trees all over the place.  

The light was so fantastic. Even in the day, it was like a night.
