From
cherry blossoms
to snowscape
Whenever we look at the landscapes changing from season to season, in the diverse ways between spring, summer, fall and winter, we feel happy enveloped in thrill of setting out on a trip. If you want to make a travel plan a bit differently from what others do, but you are not sure where to go, what about following some tips from T map showing nice destinations? For each season with its unique charm, shall we have a journey together looking for some destinations worthy of lifetime memories?
The ABC of spring picnic
When spring is around the corner, we start to feel excited about seeing cherry blossoms.
If you have been out to appreciate beauty of flowers by looking for sites famous for cherry blossoms such as Jinhae Gunhangje Festival and Cherry Blossom Street of Yeouido Park, and have felt tired of an avalanche of crowds, you will naturally try to find other places to enjoy cherry blossoms in a more relaxed or leisurely manner. According to the analysis of T map big data, we can find some hidden places where the movement volume sharply rose with an unusual rhythm during the blooming time of cherry blossoms.
Amgok Village of Gyeongju and Segyo Village of Wonju are well-known for streets of beautiful cherry blossoms. Amgok Village is adjacent to the way to Mt. Mujang and Bomun Lake Resort. By the two-lane road, cherry blossom trees are planted on both sides, forming a tunnel of cherry blossoms in springtime. Segyo Village has temperate charm by the cherry blossom trees planted along the stream. If you expect some splendorous cherry blossoms, you will be a bit disappointed. However, without any tall buildings or signboards hiding the flowery view, your temporary disappointment will be over. Jungwon Sports Park of Chungju is frequently visited by residents for it is equipped with many sports facilities including a football field by the esplanade of Tangeum Lake. However, when spring comes, many people flock to see cherry blossoms embellishing the environs of the lake. There is a wealth of visual enjoyment for there is a historic site of Central Pagoda nearby. This must be the reason for which many visit this Jungwon Sports Park every spring. Wanggungri Ruins of Iksan is a representative historic site of Baekje Period and people usually visit the place for research and archeological investigation. However, many visit the place to enjoy cherry blossoms in springtime. We can see the cherry blossoms in full bloom at different corners of the ruins, in particular, the stone pagoda seen between the boughs of cherry blossom trees look amazing. Taepyeongro Street in front of Sports Science Town of Konkuk University of Icheon is one of the gem-like attractions. Just passing by the street, cherry blossom views are more than enough. In the springtime when you find more people around you than flowers as a photographic background, and if this situation leaves a lot to be desired, try new places where cherry blossoms with different scenery await you.

Camper’s choice of the summer campsites
Spending a night in nature… campers who are fascinated by this are constantly on the rise. The taste of campers varies from backpacking, the light travelers carrying camping tools in the backpack, to glamping, those who enjoy a comfortable full-equipped camping. For which destinations did campers leave to avoid heat and tropical nights? Places such as rivers and lakes, which would wash away heat all at once, were overwhelmingly popular, while the campsites with diverse experience facilities for family campers were loved throughout the summer. Towards Camp Tong Island located in Gapyeong of Gyeonggido, the movement volume greatly increased from June when the temperature starts to slowly escalate. Since it has the lake on one side, people can play and swim in water while enjoying camping. Thus, the place was deeply loved. Campsites close to the sea such as Mongsanpo Ocean campsite and Simnipo Beach Campsite gained popularity throughout the summer. Family campers were fond of Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park Campsite and Gasan Supia, that combined various experience-based facilities such as a park and an art gallery. As the number of campers increases, campsites strengthen facilities and take a strong interest in attracting visitors. Not to mention electricity and water supply, there are many campsites that provide the WiFi service. If you have long dreamed of camping but have been hesitant thinking it would be uncomfortable, why don't you pluck up courage this coming summer?

Camper's choice of the summer campsites
Yellow ginkgo leaves, red maple leaves and blue sky. These are the colors and landscape representing autumn. We do not remember exactly since when, but the pink reed has been added to this autumnal emblem. This mysterious pink reed is called pink muhly. Since it was first introduced in Jeju Island in 2014, people immediately colored their social media in pink.
Based on huge popularity, colonies of pink muhlies began to develop over the last few years across the country. People who used to make a trip in search of typical autumnal foliage are now looking for pink muhlies to take the best memory picture of their life.
Then where are the best places for pink muhlies? We will check the beautiful destinations of pink muhlies, one by one, which emerged as today's indisputable trend of an autumn trip. In Jeju Island, where pink muhlies first boasted the lovely figure, several colonies of pink muhlies had formed. In particular, Hueree Natural Living Park and Cafe Manor Blanc are considered the greatest attractions even in Jeju Island. At Cafe Manor Blanc, pink muhlies are planted in the area covering over 6,600m2 providing a peerless and breathtaking landscape ever. Haneul Park and The Suncheonman National Garden holds the grass festival and reed festival every autumn, and now joins the "fever" of pink muhlies as well. Arboretums representing each region such as Cheongsan Arboretum of Taean and Jeonju Arboretum also follow the trend. Nari Park of Yangju, relatively close to the metropolitan area, usually holds the festival of globe amaranths, but now it is more famous as an attraction site of pink muhlies.
Anseong Farmland created a cosmos hill and a pink muhly hill, so visitors have a hard time leaving the place even after having taken a lifetime of memorable pictures there. The same happens to Cheomseongdae. When the elegant astronomical observatory and pink muhlies are placed side by side in the same camera frame, the melancholic autumnal landscape suddenly transforms into a scene from a mysterious fairy tale. The wild flower garden next to both figures also captures the heart of autumn travelers, keeping them from leaving the place for a long while.
Travelling in search of snowscape
In the wintertime, the temperature drops below freezing, making people feel lazy and dull. However, a real master of travel is busier moving in winter than any other seasons. Right before snowscape melt and vanish away, real experts in travel who hate to miss the fleeting scenes of beauty did not hesitate to make a trip to remote places. Based on the analyzed movement data during the wintertime, we found some snowscape attraction sites that were rarely travelled.
There were a few things in common among the places showing changes of movement data, especially during the wintertime. These places maintain ancient and friendly landscape, allowing us to appreciate the snow thoroughly with a sort of close-up effect.
Oeam Folk Village, the colony of family name "Lee" from Yean still keep thatched houses and tile-roofed houses. Here, Gochangeupseong Fortress, which was built during the Joseon Dynasty, is conserved almost in an intact manner. When it snows, the historic construction creates some unique ambiance of charm in harmony with the snowscape. Mt. Hwangmae of Gyeongnam attracts visitors with its quaint snowy landscape. Here, we can catch sight of rice terraces, the so-called "Daraknon" piled up on one another along the slope of the valley. When snow falls onto the Daraknon, you can appreciate scenery that is never available in the city. When it comes to "snowscapes," Bogyeongsa Temple of Pohang and Mt. Midong of Cheongju must not be left out. If you want to enjoy beauty of snow closer, then try these places. You will feel like you are stepping into the snow land along a campsite and arboretum.
