2025 Cheongsong-gun Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

#SummerTripEvent Goodbye Summer I was wondering what would be a good trip moment, and I recommend Juwangsan because it is so beautiful in the fall. There is a waterfall, and the birds and rocks are beautiful ⛰️ and there are autumn leaves 🍁🍂 It is an easy hiking course that you can go with your family. It is a mountain that is good for children to walk and also popular with the elderly. The rocks are also beautiful and steep, so it is perfect for #falltravel! It is also really good for #fallfoliageviewing!! In the fall, go to Juwangsan to see the beautiful scenery, eat apples, and travel^^

Cheongsong, the best autumn travel destination that is super hot during the fall foliage season because of Juwangsan! The best festival to enjoy late autumn is here🍎 They say that apple farming was difficult this year because of the heavy rain damage, but Cheongsong will hold an autumn food festival starting on November 1st! The schedule has been released, so refer to last year's apple festival and plan your trip! Especially, the gold apples are really delicious, so I highly recommend it💛 I regret only buying 1 box of apples I'm going to buy 2 boxes this year😁🔥 - - 📍Cheongsong Apple Festival ⏰️November 1-5 🧭Yongjeoncheon area in Cheongsong-eup (in front of Hyeonbiam, same as last year) #Domestic travel#Cheongsong travel

When winter comes, I think of the cozy and warm Gudeuljang in the ice valley, a perfect place to heal and relax. This cafe is located in a renovated old mansion and offers homemade tea, coffee, and small trinkets for sale. One customer shared that they didn't want to leave after enjoying a cup of coffee in the warm sunlight on the porch, having been frozen stiff from the icy winds of the valley. ☺️ ☕️Baekilhong Cafe 📍21 Songso-goteok-gil, Pacheon-myeon, Cheongsong-gun 🕰10:00-18:00

❄️Gyeongbuk Ice Kingdom Ice Wall ❄️ [Cheongsong, Ice Valley] : A beautiful view of a huge ice wall that can only be seen in winter I visited Cheongsong Ice Valley🥰 : Because the weather got warmer before the rain, I filled in the cracked ice a little, Please check the current situation with the reels I uploaded yesterday! : You can take pretty pictures without dangerously crossing the line, So I hope everyone takes pretty pictures safely! #SunsetHanspoon_Cheongsong #CheongsongTravel #IceValley =============================== 📸 HoneytipHanspoon 1️⃣ Take pictures from the top of the stairs without going down! - You can take clean pictures without seeing the fence! 2️⃣ Zoom in and take pictures! - If you zoom in, you can capture the background more tightly! ================================= 🗺 Cheongsong Ice Valley: 228 Palgaksan-ro, Juwangsan-myeon, Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongbuk 🚗 Free parking lot⭕️ #SnowflowerTrip #SunsetHanspoon #SnowyDay #Snowscape #Winter #WinterTrip #Snowflower

The best hot place in Gyeongsang Province in winter ❄️ Especially for locals who live in places like Busan where it is difficult to see snow, you have no choice but to run to a far place that takes 3 hours! Since there were many spots that melted in the warm weather, I felt like it was lacking 2%, but when I actually saw it, I was just amazed by its magnificent appearance! However, since it is prohibited to enter in case ice pieces fall, it is difficult to get close to the ice wall, so many people who are disappointed go to the nearby climbing ice wall spots. Instead of taking pretty pictures, you have to take good care of your own safety! There is a parking lot in front of the ice wall, but it can be very crowded on weekends ❄️ - - 📍Cheongsong Ice Valley 🧭228 Palgaksan-ro, Juwangsan-myeon, Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongbuk ℹ️The merit of free admission! Although it is on the outskirts of Cheongsong ✔️Sinchon Restaurant (chicken bulgogi), Kim's Coffee (drip coffee is good) I recommend you visit these two places when you go to Cheongsong! #Winter travel #Cheongsong Ice Valley #Cheongsong travel

#MapleTrip #MovieFilmingLocation #WalkingCourse #Date #Apple A filming location where there was a hermitage on the water. Also, it's amazing that trees grow underwater, and the autumn leaves reflected in the water are at their peak. It's easy to walk from the parking lot to a place for people of all ages. Highly recommended!! The apple makgeolli is also delicious.

#Hanok 📍Cheongsong Folk Art Village (494 Juwangsan-ro, Juwangsan-myeon, Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongbuk) 💵 150,000 won per night Cheongsong Folk Art Village, which was a filming location I visited on a business trip, is a traditional Hanok village with a cosmos field in front of it, so it's a great place to visit as a flower spot ◡̎ There was no separate breakfast (I made it!!) How about spending a night at the Folk Art Village, which has a neat facility and a perfect emotional interior? 🥰

#Hanok #Baekilhong ❣️Location: 21 Songso Gotaek-gil, Pacheon-myeon, Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongbuk ❣️Living Cafe, a cafe with a pretty yard right next to Cheongsong Songso Gotaek, has many props inside. Perhaps because Cheongsong is famous for apples, apple juice is the best menu🍎 There is also a mother-of-pearl farm inside, and it feels like visiting a grandmother's house in the countryside. The lights come on around sunset, so the atmosphere is different. #CheongsongTravel #CheongsongCafe #CafeBaekilhong #SongsoGotaek #PlacesToVisitInCheongsong #HealingCafe #HealingTravel #SuburbanTravel #HanokCafe #HanokSentiment #CafeRecommendation #GyeongbukTravelCourse

Daejeonsa Temple in Juwangsan Mountain, Cheongsong was founded by the Buddhist monk Uisang in the 12th year of King Munmu’s reign (672) of Silla. The name of Daejeonsa Temple was derived from the name of Daejeondogun, the son of King Ju in the legend of King Ju. Daejeonsa Temple was originally a very large temple, but much of it was destroyed by fire several times. Currently, it consists of Gwaneumjeon Hall, Myeongbujeon Hall, Eungjinjeon Hall, Sanryeonggak Hall, and Yosaechae centered around Bogwangjeon Hall, and Baekryeonam and Juwangam Hermitages affiliated with Daejeonsa Temple. Daejeonsa Temple’s Bogwangjeon Hall is Treasure No. 1570 and was rebuilt in the 13th year of King Hyeonjong’s reign (1672) of the Joseon Dynasty after being destroyed by fire during the Imjin War. The building structure of Daejeonsa Temple’s Bogwangjeon Hall is a building with three bays in the front and three bays on the side, consisting of a granite foundation on a granite pedestal and slightly curved columns. The roof is a gable roof with a double eaves with a ridge only on the front, and the structure is a two-column, five-bay structure, and in the multi-bracket style, it has two outer protrusions and three ridges, and two inner protrusions and three ridges. The front is in the shape of a ridge and the back is in the shape of a bridgehead, showing the characteristics of wooden architecture style after the mid-Joseon period. The Bogwangjeon of Daejeonsa Temple in Cheongsong is a wooden building in the multi-bracket style of the mid-Joseon period with a clear construction date, and it shows the characteristics of the mid-Joseon period well in terms of the bracket style, etc. In particular, the interior Dancheong and murals are outstanding works with outstanding pictorial quality, and as an important resource of Buddhist art from the mid-Joseon period, the original form at the time of construction is relatively well preserved, and as a nationally designated cultural property (treasure), it has sufficient historical, artistic, and academic value. #Yongchu Valley #Yongchu Valley #Cheongsong #Cheongsong Travel #Juwangsan National Park #Juwangsan Trekking

First of all, it is very wide and the stories of the people who lived here make it even more meaningful. #UniqueAccommodationDeep. The Cheongsong Sim clan was a wealthy family that lasted for nine generations from the reign of King Yeongjo (1724-1776) of Joseon to the mid-20th century. When the king of Gojong issued an edict to pay taxes in silver, Sim Ho-taek, who was a wealthy family, did not use tricks or tricks to avoid paying, but sold his rice fields and fields to honestly prepare the taxes, and the procession transporting silver from Uiseong to Cheongsong was 3-4 km long. During the Japanese colonial period, he delivered a lot of military funds to the volunteer army, and in 1907, he actively participated in the National Debt Redemption Movement (a movement to repay loans borrowed from Japan) that started in Daegu. Sim Ho-taek's son Sang-won and grandson Un-seop also gave a lot of their land to tenant farmers after the liberation in 1945. The reason why it is written as 'Songsogojang' in the cursive script of Mr. O Se-chang of Wichang is because it is a large mansion with a land area of ​​3,000 pyeong. The only mansions of the highest rank in Korea are Seongyojang in Gangneung and Songsogojang in Cheongsong. The Cheongsong Sim clan produced three queens (Queen Soheon, wife of King Sejong, Queen Insun, wife of King Myeongjong, and Queen Danui, wife of King Gyeongjong) and 13 prime ministers and 4 sons-in-law of the Joseon Dynasty. Now, you can experience the old house experience and Sim Bujang's table using agricultural products grown directly in the village.

♡ It's good to go to enjoy the autumn foliage, but Cheongsong Juwangsan National Park has beautiful scenery all year round ♥ ♡ Entrance fee Adults - 3,500 won Middle and high school students / General soldiers - 1,000 won Elementary school students - 600 won Free admission - Senior citizens over 65 years old / Welfare card holders / Preschool children National meritorious persons and war veterans / Cheongsong residents / Jogye Order believer holders ♡ I recommend this course as a good place to go with family, lovers, and friends! - I also have poor physical strength, so I only climbed about 1/2 of the mountain, but even families with children who lack physical strength like me were able to feel the beautiful Juwangsan! - The first representative photo is Daejeonsa Temple before climbing Juwangsan Mountain. Even if you take a photo with Daejeonsa Temple in the background, it will be so pretty, and the view from below is also incredibly pretty! ♡ Parking TIP - If you don't go early on the weekend, parking is difficult at Juwangsan National Park parking lot... ㅠㅠ - Free parking lot when ordering food/drinks at restaurants or cafes - Park on the side of the road on the way! ♡ Since you're in Cheongsong, try Cheongsong apples - There was a vending machine selling apples and apple juice right before the entrance! I came down from the mountain and was hungry, so I picked an apple as a snack, and it was sweet and crunchy, as expected from Cheongsong, which is famous for apples! Enjoy Cheongsong apples and apple juice as a healthy snack after hiking Juwangsan~ #HotPlace #Cheongsong #CheongsongTravel #PlacesToVisitInCheongsong #Juwangsan #GyeongbukTravel #PlacesToVisitInGyeongbuk #FallFallTravel #FallFallPlaces #YongchuWaterfall #JeolguWaterfall

Jusanji Gyeongbuk Cheongsong-gun Juwangsan-myeon Jusanji-ri 73 This is the place that appeared in the movie 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring', and the surrounding scenery of the reservoir is beautiful. The autumn leaves reflected on the reservoir are superb. Willows growing with their roots in the water. Carp swimming leisurely between them. #HotPlace #Cheongsong-gun #Jusanji #CheongsongPlacesToVisit #CheongsongTravel

There are three places in Cheongsong where you can see snow-covered rocks. I visited one of them, the Ice Climbing Center. I thought this was Cheongsong Ice Valley because of the ice wall that could be seen from afar!? But it turned out it wasn't..! However, this place had far fewer people and was just as beautiful. It's a 5-minute drive from Cheongsong Ice Valley. This place felt a little less polished than Cheongsong Ice Valley, but I think it was more beautiful because it was more natural. If you want to take a picture from far away without the safety line, you have no choice but to cut off your upper body like this! If you're traveling to Cheongsong, I recommend stopping by the ice wall in front of the Ice Climbing Center. It was easier to take pictures because there were far fewer people. 🗺 733 Naeryong-ri, Juwangsan-myeon, Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do #Snowflower #CheongsongTravel #WinterTravel

I visited Cheongsong Ice Valley, a travel destination I really wanted to visit in the winter:) The artificial waterfall ice wall was much prettier in real life than in the photos, and it really reminded me of a winter wonderland. You can watch it from outside the safety rope, but the ice wall scenery came out well enough! Instead, you have to take pictures from below and up ✨ After viewing the Ice Valley ice wall, I slowly looked around. I only saw the artificial ice wall, but there was a place to ride an ice sled and other things to do. There was also a camping site right next to the parking lot, and there were quite a few tents. Cheongsong Ice Valley was a great travel destination to visit in the winter. Be sure to stop by during your trip to Cheongsong~~ 🗺 Gyeongbuk Cheongsong-gun Juwangsan-myeon Naeryong-ri 1 #CheongsongTravel #Cheongsong #CheongsongIceValley ​

🗺 Gyeongbuk Cheongsong-gun Cheongsong-eup Geumgok-ri 1056-1 While staying at Cheongsong Sonobel, I was looking for a place to see the night view in the evening and discovered 'Hyeonbiam Riverside Beach' and visited there. Hyeonbiam Riverside Beach is located near downtown Cheongsong, so unlike other tourist attractions, the road to get there is not winding, so it is recommended as an evening drive course. The artificial ice cliff frozen in ice caught my eye from afar. During the day, people were riding ice sleds here. Also, there was a night view walking path made of lights, so I walked around it. Cheongsong is such a rural area that there are not many tourist attractions you can visit in the evening, but I think this might be the only one! Stop by when you are looking for a place to go in the evening in Cheongsong. #CheongsongTravel #NightViewPlace #Hyeonbiam

During my trip to Cheongsong, I visited 'Solsaem Hot Springs'. Solsaem Hot Springs is located on the third basement floor of Cheongsong Daemyung Resort Sonobel. Not only guests but also regular tourists can visit, so it was crowded on weekend afternoons. The interior felt like an open-air bath in a Japanese ryokan, and the outside garden was also beautifully decorated, but unfortunately, I couldn't take pictures because I had to use the inside like a sauna! I heard that guests and those with admission to Juwangsan National Park get a 30% discount, so I think it would be good to keep that in mind. Solsaem Hot Springs has a cypress bath and a water massage room outside, so I was able to enjoy it warmly even in winter. The facilities were clean, and my skin felt soft afterward. Also, body lotion, towels, shampoo, and soap are provided, but foam cleanser and toothbrushes are not, so I recommend bringing them with you :) Be sure to stop by Solsaem Hot Springs during your trip to Cheongsong! 🗺 Gyeongbuk Cheongsong-gun Juwangsan-myeon Ha-ui-ri 857 #Cheongsong travel #Solsaem hot spring #Hot spring travel

We stayed at Sonobel during our trip to Cheongsong. Cheongsong Sonobel is located not far from the city center, so it was a good location for visiting various tourist attractions. We used the Sweet Clean room. The difference between the Clean room and the Cooking room is the presence or absence of induction! There were reviews saying that the Cooking room smelled of food, so we chose the Clean room, but it was very clean and satisfactory. Also, the Sweet Clean room has 1 Ondol room, 1 bedroom, and 1 living room, so it seems like a good place to stay with your family. Cheongsong Sonobel had various facilities, which was nice. There is Solsaem Hot Springs in the basement 3, and there is a mart and arcade, so even if you just play around the resort, time will pass quickly! In particular, I recommend trying the Cheongsong specialty, apple chicken gangjeong, on the patio on the 1st floor. The seasoning was sweet and good >.< If you are looking for a place to stay during your trip to Cheongsong, stop by Sonobel. 🗺 Gyeongbuk Cheongsong-gun Juwangsan-myeon Juwangsan-ro 494-1 #CheongsongSonobelle #CheongsongTravel #Cheongsong

I went to Cheongsong on the weekend. Among them, I visited 'Songso Gotaek' located in Deokcheon Hanok Village. This is a hanok stay, but it is open to the public for free, so it is a good place to visit for tourists. There is a large parking lot right in front of Songso Gotaek, so it was spacious even on the weekend. Cheongsong Songso Gotaek is a building built during the Joseon Dynasty and is said to be a large house with 99 rooms. It was cute to see the white rubber shoes lined up in the Sarangchae! It was also fun to go in one room at a time and look around the hanok. The garden with bamboo plants was also very pretty, so it was perfect for taking pictures! I recommend stopping by as part of your Cheongsong travel itinerary. 🗺 176 Deokcheon-ri, Pacheon-myeon, Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongbuk #CheongsongTravel #CheongsongSongsoGotaek #HanokVillage

📅 Itinerary Day 1: Climb Juwangsan Mountain Day 2: Visit Jusanji Pond Day 3: Local Restaurant Tour 🏨 Accommodation Recommendation: Sonobel Cheongsong 🍴 Restaurant Recommendation: Namgyeong Restaurant, Sinchon Yaksu Restaurant 📌 Useful Tips

#Domestic travel Cheongsong is a city located in the eastern part of Gyeongsangbuk-do Province. It has excellent natural scenery such as Juwangsan National Park, Ice Valley, and Jusanji, and is also famous for Cheongsong apples. It has various charms throughout the four seasons and is loved by many tourists.  ⸻ 🏞️ Major tourist attractions 1. Juwangsan National Park Juwangsan is a famous mountain with strangely shaped rocks, waterfalls, and valleys, and is the best place to enjoy hiking and trekking. In particular, many tourists visit in the fall when the autumn leaves create a spectacular view.() 2. Ice Valley This is a place where you can see the unique natural phenomenon of frozen ice even in the summer, and the cool breeze and clean air welcome travelers.() 3. Jusanji Jusanji, famous for its beautiful pond and quiet atmosphere, is popular as a photo spot. You can enjoy even more beautiful scenery when you visit during sunrise and sunset.

#summervacay Juwangsan was such a cool surprise! I went in just thinking “okay, another mountain,” but nope, this place has personality. Right from the start, you get these dramatic rock formations and cliffs that look like they belong in some ancient legend. The trail winds through narrow valleys, past waterfalls, and even a couple of caves you can actually explore. The hike itself isn’t too hard, but it’s full of variety. One minute you’re crossing a peaceful stream, the next you’re climbing stone steps into a hidden canyon. It honestly felt more like an adventure than a workout. There’s this cool cave called Juwang-gul, and stepping inside gave me total explorer vibes (bring a flashlight or use your phone, it gets real dark!). Oh, and the trees? Gorgeous. Especially in spring or autumn. There are also cute little rest stops and spots to take pics along the way. Juwangsan’s got history, nature, and just the right amount of mystery. Loved every minute!

#summervacay If you’re looking for a chill escape into nature with just the right amount of adventure, Juwangsan National Park is where it’s at. Tucked away in Cheongsong, this place feels like a hidden gem. The trails are super well-marked, and you don’t need to be a hardcore hiker to enjoy them, though there are a few climbs that'll get your heart going (in a good way). We started off at the main entrance near Daejeonsa Temple, which is already super scenic. The waterfalls and rocky cliffs make you feel like you're walking through a painting. The air? Fresh AF. There are caves to explore, spots to picnic, and even random cats chilling at rest areas 10/10 vibe. It wasn’t crowded, which made it even better. Definitely wear decent shoes and bring snacks (though there are some small shops near the start). Overall? Peaceful, pretty, and just wild enough to keep things fun. Would totally go back.

#summervacay Spent the day hiking around Juwangsan National Park and honestly? It felt like wandering through a storybook. The trails take you past towering cliffs, calm streams, little wooden bridges, and these crazy rock formations that look straight out of a fantasy movie. The hike itself isn’t super intense, it’s more of a long walk with some sneaky stair climbs tossed in. But the views? Chef’s kiss. There’s this part where you’re walking along the edge of a gorge with waterfalls and moss-covered rocks everywhere. Totally Instagram-worthy if you're into that. Also, shoutout to the random food stalls near the entrance selling hotteok and makgeolli, absolute lifesavers post-hike. This place isn’t packed like some of the more famous parks, which made it feel peaceful and kind of magical. If you’re down for a scenic, chill hike with major nature vibes and zero stress, Juwangsan’s got you. Would 100% go back with friends or solo.

#summervacay Took a chill hike up to Janggunbong Peak, the summit of Jogeumsan Mountain, and honestly? Kinda loved it. It’s one of those lesser-known spots that doesn’t try too hard but still delivers. The trail’s mellow for the most part, with a few short steeper sections that wake your legs up without making you question your life choices. What really surprised me was how peaceful it was, barely ran into anyone, which made the whole thing feel like my own little nature escape. Lots of trees, birds doing their thing, and a few rocky outcrops that made the views pop. The summit isn’t massive, but the vibe is right. Clear views, solid breeze, and just enough space to plop down, snack, and zone out for a bit. No crowds, no chaos, just you and the mountain doing your thing. If you're looking for a lowkey hike with solid scenery and good energy, Janggunbong’s peak is totally worth the climb.
