also known as Busan's Santorini, it is one of the famous tourist spots there.

Although you can actually go there by walking, it is a better option to take the village bus from this place that will take you to the top most part of the village where you can find Village Information Center.

I am not sure with the fare of both the subway and the bus since I used my T-money card.


South Korea Travel Sim? Purchase yours here.




The driver will tell you that it is the stop for the Gamcheon Culture Village but I don't think that you'll feel lost actually 'cause most people alight at this station.

Okay so you have two options:

One is to buy a map from the Information Center
Second is to just walk wherever you feel like walking

My suggestion is that if you have a lot of time, it is better to purchase the map so you'd be able to locate the most famous murals and art installations in the area. However, if you only have an hour or two like we did, it'll be better to walk at your own pace or research beforehand which of the many photozones here do you wish to see the most.









Very beautiful though can get a bit crowded on some days. From the few murals/art installations that we saw, The Little Prince (photo below) had the most people. We had to form our line for an hour just to have our photo taken in that spot. 






Everywhere in Gamcheon is a photo opportunity. 






Lovers area with the love locks above but since I don't have any, cockblock na lang. hahaha! 






This is the Little Prince.

From the Information Center, it's a short walk to get here and it's very impossible to miss the spot 'cause there would surely be a line.


This is one of the viewing points in the Culture Village and of course, The Little Prince and his fox are there waiting to have their picture taken with you. 








Above is also one of the places that I was looking forward to seeing 'cause this was shown in Two Days, One Night before. 









We only spent around two hours and we didn't get to see a lot. If ever I find myself in Busan once again and if I have enough time, I'll buy the map so I can go through the alleys to see more interesting stuff.

Visit Korea's Largest Greenhouse at Seoul Botanic Park in Magoknaru!

Visit Korea's Post link: here.


Very easy to reach since there's a nearby subway station.

Magoknaru Station (Seoul Subway Line 9, Airport Railroad), Exit 3 & 4

Most of my memories in Seoul are trees with no leaves 'cause even if I've been to South Korea three times already; two were during winter and the other I was in Busan almost the entire time. So when I found out about this park, we made time to visit it.

. 
The whole park is divided into four parts; Themed Garden, Lake Garden, Open Forest, and Wetland. It was said that this place is twice the size of the whole Yeouido Park. I don't have a grasp of how big this is but given that I haven't explored the whole of Yeouido Park even if I've been there four times says something about the size of this place.

 If ever you're visiting this in Spring, Summer, or Autumn better allot ample time because the entire place should be very beautiful. 





It took us a while to walk from the train station to the greenhouse mainly because it was toooooooooo cold that day. It never snowed during our 11 days in Seoul but the coldest we experienced was -12 degrees Celsius. Well, okay, I went there during the first week of February so I shouldn't been so shocked about the temperature...


Imagine the vast green grass and trees with leaves <3 


Just imagining how this place would look like in spring is enough for now. Haha!


To give you an idea on the sudden change in temperature, my camera lens developed moist inside for several minutes until it adjusted to the temperature.






This marks the entry point towards the twelve (12) cities of the world. Yep, you'll get to see plants and flowers sourced from twelve other cities. 



 I was wearing 5 layers of clothing that day but I had to take off my bubble jacket as soon as I entered this place because it was humid - the first part was the tropical zone so it should be around 30 degrees Celsius and I was wearing 4 more layers of clothing with one heat tech.



  






After walking in the Tropical Zone area, we entered Temperate Zone area. This place was a bit cooler and this is my favorite place in all of the Greenhouse. 


Having been born in a tropical country, it's probably because I am used to seeing tropical plants that I didn't find it too special. It's only because they've sourced the plants from other countries that I roamed around there. Hater much? Hahahha. Joke lang. Felt like home kasi and the plants looked familiar - the tropical zone. 


The temperate zone had my interest because most of the plants here are species that I've never seen before. 

And oh, this San Francisco area was much like the Cactus Garden that I have visited in Las Vegas, Nevada. Link: here. 



This place looked very romantic and European-ish that's why I wasn't surprised that these flowering plants were sourced from Rome, Italy. 



Maybe this is what it feels like to walk in one of the gardens in Rome. Someday, universe. <3



If I were to go here again, I'll go early and try to beat the crowd. 


After passing through "Rome," we went to Perth, Australia. What caught my attention here is the presence of a Baobab Tree. 



You know, the tree in The Little Prince?? I've always wanted to see a baobab tree so I'm glad that I was able to see one here.





Exiting the area, you'd have to pass through a skywalk and get a glimpse of the entire place again from a bird's eye perspective. 


Kinda reminds me of OCBC Skyway in Singapore, only this time, it's indoor. 





 Glad to have visited this place while it's free but I really wouldn't mind paying. It felt like I've been to twelve cities anyway. hehehe!


The contrast of having this luscious green landscape inside and those trees without leaves outside.


If you feel hungry after the walk, there's cafe in the building. 





My first greenhouse experience!!!



 Seoul Botanic Park's Website link: here.


The greenhouse is open from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM while the rest of the park is open 24 hours.
