Timeline

    Bomdalhyang

    Grab a quiet hand-drip coffee at Bomdalhyang. It is a pretty spot to settle in while the afternoon light is still bright.

  2. 16:47

    Ansan Botanical Garden

    Walk to Ansan Botanical Garden. Stroll through the tropical exhibition in the pyramidal glass greenhouse. The glass catches the low sun, creating a warm, glowing atmosphere inside.

  3. 17:37

    Wol-pi Park

    Head to Wol-pi Park. This neighborhood park is the heart of the Moonlight Festival. Find a spot near the food and experience booths to watch the sun dip below the horizon toward the WSW. The sky will turn gold and then blue as the festival lights begin to twinkle.

    진장어

    End the evening with a late dinner at Jinjang-eo. It is a Korean restaurant just a short walk from the park, open until 23:00, perfect for winding down after the festival.
