- 5 years ago
With the autumn season in full swing in Korea,... there are a number of tourist options open to give travelers the chance for short getaways.
To help people enjoy some hidden attractions during this beautiful but short fall,… the government came up with some special package programs called "Autumn Travel Week".
Won Jung-hwan reports.
Smiling all the way, people hop on the bus,... looking forward to a journey to enjoy crisp and clear weather with colorful leaves.
The fifth edition of Autumn Travel Week is here with an unique program called, Gonggan Yeohaeng, in which 20 spots have been sorted into categories such as places recommended for families, couple dates, trips with a friend, or solo-travelers,… featuring locations from popular Korean movies or TV shows.
Out of those 20 attraction spots,... the city of Nonsan in South Chungcheong-do Province was picked as a site recommended for couples to enjoy.
Visitors walk around a 300 year old Nonsan Myungjae Tradition house, also known as the Yun Jeong's old mansion, which serves as a prime example of an aristocratic class house during the Joseon Dynasty.
The house, located at the foot of the mountain, provides a warm and romantic vibe for couples to hold hands and soak in the morning autumn breeze.
And for the afternoon, it gets even better.
"As part of the tour, the couples also visited Sunshine Land, a site featured in the popular recent Korean TV show, Mr. Sunshine."
A huge studio venue within the Sunshine land, that has officially open to public on Wednesday, provides an opportunity for visitors to relive the scenes from the drama.
And for those who are willing to experience some action scenes,… the newly opened Sunshine Land Military Experience Center provides visitors a live action war experience called 'survival game.'
Couples wearing body armor and helmets find themselves immersed in an exciting and hyper-real world shooting game.
Throughout the entire journey, the couples say they are taking great experiences back home with them.
"I enjoyed it a lot because I learned something new about this town. I used to only think of Nonsan as a place that had a military training camp."
"We came a long way to get away from our daily lives. We liked it a lot, especially the historic vibe this town has."
