The Aquatic Plant Learning Center is located on a beautiful lake garden in the middle of Daecheong Lake, the third largest lake in Korea. This place, which boasts the best scenery in Daecheong Lake, is designated as an experiential learning center that loves and protects water and preserves nature.

The Aquatic Plant Learning Center is also called the ‘Garden of Heaven’ because various aquatic plants native to Korea, tropical aquatic plants, and various water lilies are cultivated and exhibited.

There is also a nice walking trail along Daecheong Lake, so take your time and take in the beautiful lake garden where time seems to have stopped. @around_we

Recently, the Aquatic Plant Learning Center has become a hot topic on SNS. The reason is that it has a mysterious atmosphere similar to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
@_anzzy
I highly recommend you visit the exotic scenery that makes you feel like you’ve time-traveled to medieval Europe.
@around_we
Tips for visiting the Aquatic Plant Learning Center: Be sure to make a reservation in advance. Also, only a limited number of people can enter. It is closed every Sunday, and the only weekend other than weekdays is Saturday, so if you plan to visit, please make a reservation with plenty of time to spare.

Busodamak, called the folding screen rock floating on the lake, is one of Okcheon’s outstanding scenic views. Busodamak, a rocky cliff rising above the water, is 700m long, and the scenery unfolds like a panorama.

The point where you can fully take in the spectacular view of Busodamak is Chusojeong. If you walk along the trail while looking at the winding river, you will reach Chusojeong.

@mejine_e
There is a small observatory extending over the river right below the pavilion, which is a great way to enjoy the scenery of Busodamak even closer.
@azuldwk
Tips for getting to Busodamak and parking. Search for Hwangryongsa on your navigation system and find it. There is a parking lot that can accommodate about 30 cars, so it is much more spacious. There is a Busodamak comprehensive guide map on the other side, and if you follow this guide map, you will come across Busodamak. @y2_ooo

Let’s head to Hwain Forest Bathing Area, where just walking will heal both your body and mind. Hwain Forest Bathing Area is a dense forest with over 100,000 trees of 10 different types of trees, including cypress, metasequoia, pine, and fir.
@y2_ooo
Let’s fully enjoy the healing that nature gives us in the forest that emits a huge amount of phytoncide.

@jung_eun1263
Don’t be surprised, Hwain Forest Bathing Area is a forest created by one person. Jeong Hong-yong, the owner of Hwain Forest Bathing Area, has personally planted and nurtured trees for over 40 years since his youth.
@_yujaaa
This is a place where it’s hard to find any artificial facilities, such as stairs or restrooms. It feels more natural and comfortable because it’s a space that’s all natural. @angela__eun
@feeling_foto_
The total length of the trail is about 4,006m, and it takes about 2-3 hours to walk slowly. The slope is gentle, so enjoy a leisurely walk while feeling the phytoncide. There are emergency connecting paths here and there, so you can get off the trail if you feel tired.
💵 Fee: Adults 3,000 won, middle and high school students 2,000 won, elementary school students and national heroes 1,000 won, preschool children free

Okcheon Cathedral is the only remaining Catholic cathedral from the 1940s in Chungcheongbuk-do. Unlike ordinary cathedrals built with red bricks, it is built in gray pastel tones, giving it an exotic charm.

It is said that when the cathedral was built, three bells were made directly in France and imported. And the fact that the bell currently on the Okcheon Cathedral spire is the only one left. The bell still rings beautifully and has earned a reputation for its ‘beautiful bell sound.’
@dami_1213
Okcheon Cathedral is built on a hill overlooking Okcheon, making it a great place to spend some quiet time in a quiet atmosphere.

Also, looking at the pastel-colored cathedral under the blue sky makes you feel like you’re in Europe. Thanks to that, it’s also known as a great place to take pictures, so be sure to stop by.
