韩国旅行顾问Last week, I was drinking coffee with my bestie by the Han River, and a local colleague suddenly recommended these wisteria secrets. It turns out that you don’t have to go to Jeju Island to fall into purple romance~ --- #### 💜**Secret Flower Corridor in Gangnam District** 벽산아파트 Apartment Atrium A time capsule in an old-fashioned community! The combination of an 80s playground and a giant wisteria trellis is like traveling to the set of "Reply 1988". When shooting against the light at 8 o'clock in the morning, the dewdrops will reflect the luster of glass. ⚠️Note: Please keep quiet in residential areas, and it is recommended to visit on weekdays --- #### 🌿**Suwon Healing Garden** 수원 삼풍가든 Pork Rib Shop Who would have thought that the wisteria trellis in the barbecue restaurant is the real thing? Although the flowers are not as lush as in previous years, I am still moved when I sit under a century-old tree and eat pickled diaphragm and the petals fall into the soybean paste soup. 📸Camera position: Overhead shot from the stone steps in the backyard, using a wide angle to capture the entire flower waterfall --- #### ☕️**Light and Shadow Coffee Laboratory** 광주 위스테리아 The complex space at the foot of Namhansanseong Fortress, the high-ceilinged glass room allows the wisteria to naturally drape like a curtain. The "Purple Potato Latte" must be ordered, and the edible petals stuck to the edge of the cup form a wonderful echo with the sea of flowers outside the window. --- #### 🌸**Private Hidden Valley** 파주 벽초林艺术村 95% of tourists don't know the treasure! The kilometer-long bamboo corridor built along the stream is full of wisteria. At the end of April, a limited "petal stream" spectacle will appear. Wearing Hanfu and holding paper lanterns to shoot is more story-like. --- **Practical Tips** ▪️ Bring a foldable reflector! Your face will get dark easily in the shade ▪️ Wear light taro-colored clothes, which will be more effective than pure white ▪️ The flower conditions at some locations will decline after mid-May, so it is recommended to go within 10 days ▪️ The wisteria bibimbap at the "꽃밥" restaurant at Suwon Station is a hidden menu #Seoul Suburban Tour #Wisteria Flower Season #Spring Limited #Korean Photo

空空CJThis was recommended by the concierge at my hotel in Seoul and it turned out to be one of my all time favorite dining experiences. I opted for the entire "tasting menu". Seated at a bar style table surrounding the kitchen. Every dish was delicious. Service was pleasant yet professional.

没有蜡ollingIf you dare to eat raw potatoes, you must try it Da Wafang Sauce Crab is certified with one Michelin star After the main meal was served, Korean side dishes were served one by one. A table full of dishes looks satisfying The method is to marinate raw crabs in soy sauce So it is also called sauce crab🦀 It tastes completely devoid of the unique fishy smell of crabs Crab paste is perfect when mixed with rice and stuffed into one bite The entrance is sweet and salty, and you will be able to drink it one bite after another. Koreans call them rice thieves Friends who like to eat crabs, if you have never tried it Remember to try it. It’s really delicious [Glutton][Glutton]

£11KoreanTime-honored BrandPrime location

没有蜡ollingIf you come to Myeongdong, you must eat at Hadongguan. It is recommended by Michelin Guide. There is only one dish, which is Korean beef soup rice. The price ranges from 9,000 to 30,000. The price varies depending on the amount of meat. I ordered the 20,000 one. If you don’t like offal, please let me know in advance. Remember to add more green onions [pig head]

没有蜡ollingSeeing that many people recommended Korean dumplings, I went to Korea Street with my friends. The best thing was the pork wrapped in vegetables! The lean pork slices were crispy and fat but not greasy. The fragrant and soft pieces had chewy crispy bones, and were wrapped in lettuce with spicy shredded radish, garlic slices, and chili peppers. It was sweet, spicy, and fresh when you took a bite.

justinwang1987The Wandering in the Clouds restaurant is located in the 63 Building in Gangnam District. The view from above is very good and it has a Michelin flavor. However, I also found a restaurant serving Spanish paella, so it actually tasted very good. Maybe Korean seafood is also very good.

徐徐霞客RrThis restaurant in Korea is a Japanese restaurant. I recommend you to try the pork belly bacon rice. The pork belly is especially good, fatty but not greasy, with alternating fat and lean meat. Add the special sauce made by the boss, it feels really great (｀Δ´)!

Zz 珍珍ZzThe ginseng chicken soup here is super delicious. I came here for 2 consecutive days. The dining environment here is just like dining in a cafe. The service staff is very polite. The ginseng chicken soup is accompanied by a small bottle of ginseng wine. The side dishes here are also very delicious. If I have the opportunity to go to Korea next time, this restaurant will definitely be a must-go restaurant for me. The menu here is very simple. The main chicken soup, spicy clear soup, and especially delicious vegetarian bibimbap! If there are many people, you can also eat a pot of hot pot. Worth recommending!

空空CJThe waiters were very friendly and helpful, special thanks to Sommelier who was very professional and enthusiastic. The food was also very good and a great value for money. They also prepared a very delicious birthday dessert for my sister. We will definitely come back to this restaurant when we are in Seoul again!!!
