A Romantic Fragrant Journey: A Healing Two-Day Trip to Herb Island Paradise
Day 1:
Early in the morning, we departed from Seoul and arrived at Herb Island in Pocheon after a two-hour drive. Famous for its variety of herbs and flowers, the park greeted us with a refreshing fragrance as soon as we stepped in, making us feel like we had entered a healing world. We first strolled through the herb garden, where herbs like rosemary, lavender, and mint created a colorful scene. The staff enthusiastically explained the uses of each plant, deepening my understanding of herbs. For lunch, we dined at the park's herb restaurant, enjoying a special herb meal with dishes like lavender honey chicken and rosemary roasted potatoes, which were unforgettable. In the afternoon, we participated in a handmade aromatic candle workshop, creating our own unique scented souvenir to take home, along with a lot of good vibes. At dusk, we headed to the outdoor theater to watch a performance inspired by flowers and nature, where music and dance blended perfectly with the surrounding scenery. On the way back, we were still immersed in the fragrance of herbs and the romantic atmosphere of the park.
Day 2:
On the second day, we decided to explore different corners of Herb Island more deeply. In the morning, we visited the greenhouse area to admire more rare tropical plants and flowers, which were a feast for the eyes. Next, we entered the Herb Museum to learn about the historical, cultural, and medicinal applications of herbs, with rich and interesting exhibits. For lunch, we dined again at the park's restaurant, this time trying herb ice cream and flower tea, which were refreshing and delightful. In the afternoon, we headed to the lakeside trail, strolling along the tranquil waters and enjoying a moment of peace close to nature. Finally, we visited the park's herb shop to pick up some dried flower bouquets and essential oils as souvenirs. By evening, we sat on the lawn, watching the sunset gradually turn the entire park red, feeling warm and satisfied.
Herb Island Paradise is a place where one can forget their worries and experience the healing power of nature and fragrance. This two-day trip not only brought beautiful memories but also made me cherish every moment spent with nature, truly achieving relaxation and rejuvenation.
