Gongju, Korea Vlog | Fortress, Ancient Tombs, Hanok Village, Baekje Festival and cafes

We spent a day exploring Gongju, South Korea. Gongju 공주시 is located a 1.5 hour drive from Camp Humphreys. Gongju is rich with culture and history. We walked along the 2.6 km Gongsanseong Fortress wall which was built during the Baekje Kindom. We also visited the Ancient Royal Tombs in Songsan-ri. The Gongsanseong Fortress and Ancient Royal Tombs in Songsan-ri are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Gongju is known as the largest producer of chestnuts in Korea, so we indulged in some chestnut desserts at a local bakery and cafe. We ended the night looking at pretty lights, tunnels, and sculptures from the Baekje Cultural Festival that was held on Mireuseom Island which is connected to the fortress side by a bridge. The 2021 Baekje Cultural Festival took place on September 25 - October 3. 📍 places visited/mentioned: ☆ Bakery Bam Maeul (Marron Village Bakery) http://naver.me/xisX3IOu ☆ Albame Banhan Korean Beef http://naver.me/FzHDrFOq ☆ Gongsanseong Fortress http://naver.me/5UhrH8zz ☆ (second cafe) Chungnam Gongju-si Geumseong-dong 175-2 http://naver.me/xTetHZ4m ☆ Gongju Muryeongwangneung Models Exhibit Hall (tombs) http://naver.me/xAtT6iRv ☆ Gongju Hanok Village http://naver.me/5k2Hu6Un ☆ Mireuseom Island http://naver.me/xBGZZTPy ✅ If you enjoyed this video, please click the thumbs up and consider subscribing if you haven't already. ✨ I appreciate your support!
