    Pyeonghwa Market

    Grab a warm snack or street food at Pyeonghwa Market. The narrow alleys are alive with locals, and the stalls are open late enough for an early evening visit. Check the stalls for fresh, handmade treats to take with you.

  2. 16:50

    Riverside Park

    Walk to Riverside Park. The landscaped trails along the Gamcheon River offer a gentle stroll. Arrive here before the light fades so you can find a comfortable spot on the open spaces or benches facing west.

  3. 17:35

    Riverside Park

    Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light reflects off the river, creating a serene atmosphere. Stay for a few minutes as the sky shifts colors and the park quiets down.

  4. 18:05

    Anjuga Gimcheon Bugok Branch

    End the evening with a drink at Anjuga Gimcheon Bugok Branch. This local Korean-style pub is just a short walk away. It is a relaxed spot to unwind with a traditional drink and some bar snacks after the walk.

Local tip
