Day 1 - Immersing in Changwon's Splendid Charm
We kick-start our journey in the heart of Changwon, at the vibrant Sangnam Market. Dive headfirst into the hustle and bustle of this fascinating traditional Korean market. Indulge in street food like tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) or bibimbap (mixed rice) as we walk along the colourful stalls teeming with fresh produce and Korean wares. The next stop is Jinhae, famed for its beautiful Cherry Blossom Festival. While it's absolutely gorgeous during spring, it's still worth visiting even off-season, with its lovely parks and Jinhae Naval Theme Park that's home to a retired battleship turned museum. End your day at Yongji Lake, a visual treat come nightfall. How about savoring a hot cup of coffee while absorbing the lake's scenic beauty? Sounds magical, doesn't it?
Day 2 - Exploring Changwon's Rich History and Culture
Our second day is all about delving into Changwon's historic and cultural journey. Starting with the Changwon National Industrial Complex, marvel at South Korea's modern industrial wonder. Hard to believe that what once was a barren wasteland is now a flourishing industrial area, eh? Next, we move onto the Changwon Moonshin Art Museum that honors Moon Shin, a renowned Korean Modern Artist. His sculptures? Simply sublime. Our last stop for the day will be the Changdong Art Village – an example of urban regeneration at its best. The transformation of this once dilapidated neighborhood into an art hub with cafes, shops, and galleries is quite a spectacle. Fancy seeing a banana tree in the middle of a bustling city? This village has got you covered!
Day 3 - Changwon's Mesmerizing Natural Beauty
Day 3 is all about exploring Changwon's natural wonders. The day takes off at the picturesque Yeojwacheon Stream, adorned with small beautiful bridges and love-lock trees. Care to make a wish with your loved one? Next, we journey to the enchanting Gyeonghwa Station that moonlights as a cherry blossom path during spring. The final spot is the Masan Fish Market where you can pick fresh seafood and have it cooked on the spot - a foodie's paradise indeed. Don't worry about the communication; international sign language works wonders here. Can you taste the freshness just thinking about it?
