Naksan Park

Are you after a great day/night view of Seoul but in a less crowded area? Then come to this beautiful and historical park! Naksan is a mountain made of a solid granite bedrock. The Joseon royal family enjoyed the natural beauty of the granite mountain, but during the Japanese Colonial Period, a hasty manner of urban planning resulted in the demolition of most parts of the mountain. In an effort to save the remaining green belts, Naksan was designated as a park.


Common Ground – new and trendy pop-up stores in shipping containers??

Common Ground is made up of 200 large containers. In these containers, you will find new and trendy mid-sized shops by up-and-coming new designers and also editorial shops.

Food trucks and well as nice restaurants are also available at Common Ground. If you are lucky you may also see some special ongoing events such as exhibitions or performances.


Sungshin Women’s University area – Cafe heaven

This area is filled with trendy Cafes, cake shops, pasta restaurants, and cute shopping! Because of the Women only University, this area is mainly populated by young women. So if you are wondering what is trendy among Korean women you should check out Sungshin Women’s University area.

2000N.NET | 외국인 인플루언서 참가한 이천인삼축제

KoreaTravelEasy was featured in Icheon Local News Article that Foreigner Influencers were attended the 4th Ginseng Festival organized by KoreaTravelEasy and supported by Nonghyep Gingseng Organization.

This tour was not just one-time visiting, it was the first step to make a sustainable tour city of Icheon for tourists who are visiting Korea.

 

경기동부인삼농협(윤여홍 조합장)이 주최하고 이천시 후원으로 이달 2일부터 4일까지 개최된 제4회 이천인삼축제에 외국인 인플루언서 그룹들이 참여해 눈길을 끌었다.

행사에 참여한 외국인들은 인삼축제의 다양한 행사에 참여해 인삼 관련 먹거리들을 즐기는 한편 예스파크나 세라피아 등을 돌아보며 도자기, 조형물 등 다양한 문화 체험을 통해 생소하게 느껴졌던 이천을 보다 잘 이해할 수 있게 됐다는 반응을 보였다.

……

축제나 특정 이벤트를 통한 반짝 방문이 아닌 외국인 자유여행 관광객들이 꾸준히 방문하는 지속가능한 관광도시 이천을 만들고자 하는 바람을 갖고 시도한 첫 걸음이었다.
