Today, we will introduce places worth visiting in Yeonggwang, the home of gulbi. The first place of arrival of Buddhism in Baekje (2nd view) Beopseongpo is where the Indian monk Marananta first set foot in Baekje in 384 to spread Buddhism, and to commemorate this, this place is being developed into a tourist attraction. Forest Park (7th view) Forest Park refers to a castle made of forest, and it is a zelkova forest created in Beopseongjinseong, which was built during the reign of King Jungjong of Joseon, and is designated as Scenic Site No. 22. In May, red azaleas, tulips, and moss flowers bloom, and in June, yellow chrysanthemums and poppies decorate the park. Bulgapsa Temple (3rd view) If you visit Bulgapsa Temple in mid-September, you can see a landscape of flowers that look like a red carpet. In 2022, the festival was held from September 16 to 25. Bulgapsa Temple is known as the first temple built by the Indian monk Marananta, who introduced Buddhism to Baekje through Beopseongpo. Chilsan Tower (4th view) The sea in front of Chilsan is the largest croaker fishing ground in Korea. Chilsan Tower is the highest observatory in Jeollanam-do at 111m, and you can take the elevator to the 3rd floor observatory. Admission fee: 2,000 won. From the observatory, you can see the vast Chilsan sea and the islands floating in the sea at a glance, which will make you exclaim in awe. The sunset scenery that blends in with the surrounding scenery is also beautiful. Cheonil Salt Farm (9th view) Cheonil Salt Promotion Center: 411 Chilsan-ro, Yeomsan-myeon, Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do You can also enjoy the exotic scenery of Yeonggwang Wind Power Complex on the way to Baeksu Coastal Road. Baeksu Coastal Road (1st view) Baeksu Coastal Road is a representative driving course on the west coast where the vast tidal flats and the fiery sunset create an enchanting landscape. I highly recommend visiting around sunset. Take a photo of your life with the black-tailed gull sculpture in the background at the sunset observatory. Yeonggwang Sunset Exhibition Hall: Jeollanam-do Yeonggwang-gun Baeksu-eup Haean-ro 957 Restaurant Introduction Bulgapsa Temple Entrance Borifanggi (061-353-3325) Korea's first barley kalguksu restaurant I had the barley moss leaf abalone kalguksu, it was incredibly chewy, and the broth was amazing. Beopseongpo Ilbeonji Restaurant (061-356-2268) This restaurant is larger than you can imagine, but they provide rooms for the number of people, so you can have a quiet meal. Seafood served on a large table, the taste is GOOD! 00:00 Intro 00:18 #Baekje Buddhism's first arrival site 01:20 #Soopjaengi Park 02:47 #Bulgapsa Temple 04:00 #Chilsan Tower 04:58 #Yeonggwang Cheonil Salt Farm 05:50 #Baeksu Coastal Road 06:47 #Yeonggwang Restaurants #Yeonggwang Travel #Yeonggwang Travel #Jeollanam-do #Jeollanam-do Travel #Fall Travel #Sunset #Gulbi Restaurant #Barley Kalguksu #Barley Scent
