Cruise through autumn beauty in Cheongpung Lake
- 4 years ago
The city of Jecheon, in Chungcheongbuk-do Province, is known for its beautiful harmony between the mountains and the nearby water.
Now that we're near the peak of autumn, the views there are even more spectacular.
Our Lee Kyung-eun is standing by in Jecheon to bring you live pictures.
Kyung-eun, how's it looking there?
Hi Devin, I am cruising through Cheongpung Lake in the city of Jecheon.
And the place where I am standing right now offers one of the most breathtaking views of the autumn leaves.
Now, to give you our exact location,...we are close to Oksunbong Peak.
It is one of the 10 Scenic Views of Jecheon, with a huge stone wall coming out of the middle of the vast waters.
This is the highlight of the ferry ride,... where you can enjoy the most beautiful scenery of the lake.
Also, during the 2-hour course, the ferry glides past Gudanbong Peak - one of 8 Scenic Views of Danyang city,....as well as Oksun Bridge.
All these natural attractions are at their most impressive during autumn,... because of all these colorful leaves.
If you come here to visit the lake, you can also check out other attractions along the lakeside.
There's Cheongpung Cultural Heritage Complex where you can see Korean traditional architecture and artifacts.
And on top of Bibongsan Mountain, you can look down on the entire city.
Also, you can enjoy some extreme sports at Cheongpung Land which is located right next to the cruise ship boarding platform.
As all these sites are located near each other, they are easy to visit.
And people here say that Cheongpung Lake is the perfect place to start your tour of Jecheon.
But if you can't make it here, there are other places to see the autumn leaves.
We normally say that autumn foliage is at its peak when 80 percent of the trees on a mountain have changed color.
And because leaves change color as the weather gets cold, the changes begin from the north of the country and spread down south.
So, places like Seoraksan, Bukhansan, and Chiaksan are already seeing vibrant colors,...while southern regions and Jeju island will reach their peak soon.
That's all I have for now, back to you Devin.
