#CafeRecommendation I found this cafe while walking near my house. I stopped by because of the exterior that reminded me of a foreign outdoor cafe. The interior was just as clean as the exterior, but it was full of emotion. I ordered hamong hamong and orange juice. Hamong hamong is an open sandwich with hamong, melon, and homemade basil pesto on rye bread. It was as delicious as it looked. It was light, but the melon was sweet, so it was very harmonious. It went perfectly with the freshly squeezed orange juice. I was satisfied with the atmosphere and the taste, so I plan to go back soon to enjoy the pancake menu and coffee. 📍Hidden Brown

Address: 247-1 Gucheonmyeon-ro, Gangdong-gu, Seoul Closed on Sundays!! Average price per person: 23,500~ Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 It's about 2,3,4 servings for small and medium-sized people, and since we went for the second round, there were 3 of us, so we ordered small, but the amount was much larger than it looked. Usually, there's angel vegetables in the sashimi, but here, the sashimi is piled upㅎㅎ The sashimi was thick and had a great savory flavor. We also ate spicy fish stew and ramen noodles in the middle!

Address: 23 Cheonho-yeot 14-gil, Gangdong-gu, Seoul Average price per person: 12,000~ Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 It's a small gopchang restaurant with only about 5 tables, but it's so delicious that there's a huge waiting line 😋 You have to order according to the number of people, and there's a time limit of 1 hour and 10 minutes. Because there's a time limit, even if there's a wait, it'll go away quickly. In the past, it was hard to make a reservation even if you went as soon as it opened at 4 o'clock, but now it's spacious! When the gopchang comes out, the noodles can stick to the bottom, so you have to eat the noodles first, and you can eat the gopchang when you're almost done eating the noodles! Fujimi's main ingredient is perilla seeds, so it gets tastier the longer you boil it, and the fried rice at the end is especially delicious. #MirrorTravel #EatKitList #CheonhoRestaurant #YeochaeGopchangRestaurant #FujimiGopchang #Couples#RestaurantConquest#RestaurantExploration#SafeTravel

#June Travel Support Fund 🔮The Pamix Garden in Sangil-dong, Gangdong-gu was a quiet and neat space like a garden in the city. The flowers were well-kept, so I could enjoy the fragrance while walking, and there were shelters such as decks, benches, and sunbeds everywhere, so it was nice to stay leisurely. 🌳Since it was an urban agricultural experience space, there were rice paddies and rice plants growing. In the wide field, balsams were planted and growing, and there was also a round hut, so it would be good to experience urban agriculture with children. 🍁It was close to the subway stations Godeok Station and Sangil-dong Station, so the accessibility was good. It was a good place to take a quiet walk, rest, and feel the seasons.

#June Travel Support Fund 🔮The cafe inside the Pamix Center was quiet and clean, just like the overall atmosphere. The large windows let in plenty of sunlight, and it was nice to have a cup of tea while looking out at the surrounding garden. The menu mainly consists of coffee, tea, and simple desserts, and the prices were reasonable. 🌳Since it's next to the Pamix Garden, it's nice to take a walk, and you can also sit on the chairs on the outdoor deck and drink tea leisurely. It wasn't too crowded, so I was able to stay leisurely, and it was a space that I didn't feel pressured to come with a child. It was a cafe that was perfect for stopping by after a walk.🍁

#June Travel Support Fund 🔮Godok Waterside Ecological Park is a nature-friendly space located in Godeok-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, and is a great place for those who want to get away from the city and enjoy nature leisurely. There are various plants in the park, so it was nice to feel nature while taking a walk. In particular, as I walked along the waterside around the park, I could breathe fresh air with the sound of water, which made me feel at ease. As expected of an ecological park, various plants and trees grow naturally, so it was nice to be able to enjoy nature in the city.🌳 🍁There are benches and rest areas well-equipped in the park, so I could take a break and enjoy the surrounding scenery. It is a good place to come with children, and there is also a small playground, so it is suitable for families. 🌲Overall, it was a good time to heal with nature in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. I think it is a big advantage to have a space where you can feel nature like this near the city.

#June Travel Support Fund 🔮IKEA Gangdong store has a systematically designed route so that customers can shop efficiently and comfortably. The store follows the same flow as a typical IKEA store, 'Showroom → Market Hall → Self-serve Area', and naturally guides customers through each space. 🌳When you enter the showroom from the entrance, you can experience the products as if they were real living spaces through various interior examples for each space. In the market hall that follows, kitchenware, lighting, fabrics, and other accessories by category are arranged so that you can easily find them. Lastly, in the self-serve area, you can pick up the furniture you have chosen yourself and go to the checkout counter. In addition, rest areas, cafes, and simple guide signs are well-organized at each major branch, so you can easily find your way around even while shopping. The elevators and escalators are also efficiently arranged, making it easy to move around.🍁

🔮 Walking along Godeokcheon in the cool summer breeze was truly refreshing. Strolling by the riverside, the surrounding nature and tranquil atmosphere brought a sense of peace to my mind. The wide walking paths and abundant trees providing shade made it comfortable to walk without feeling too hot. The presence of cyclists and fellow walkers added a lively yet relaxed vibe to the area. 🌳 IKEA shopping was the perfect follow-up to the Godeokcheon walk, making for an enjoyable shopping experience. The store was clean and systematically organized, making it easy to find what I was looking for. Exploring various interior items and furniture was fun, and I came up with many ideas that could be applied to my own home. The prices were reasonable, and the ease of assembly was a definite plus.🍁 In the end, it was a day where I could enjoy both a leisurely walk at Godeokcheon and practical shopping at IKEA. The combination of nature and shopping made for a great stress-relieving itinerary.🌲

🌳The Iljasan Forest Trail Journey is perfect for those seeking peaceful healing in nature. Located in Gangdong-gu, Seoul, Iljasan is an easily accessible forest within the city, featuring well-maintained walking paths and forest trails. Walking along the forest trail, you can enjoy serene natural sounds and spend leisurely moments. The shade created by sunlight filtering through the trees felt particularly refreshing, making even a light stroll a soothing experience for both body and mind.🍁 🔮It felt like escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. As I continued my walk in the forest, feeling the breeze, it seemed as though my stress was gradually melting away. Though Iljasan is not a large mountain, it’s an ideal spot to find a moment of tranquility amidst a busy life. Simply walking along the trails provides ample healing, making it a modest yet meaningful journey.🌲

#June Travel Support Fund 🔮The IKEA showroom and products decorated with a refreshing and practical living room are worth a visit if you want to decorate your home The IKEA showroom gives the impression that it is a living space that has been moved as is. Various spaces such as the living room, kitchen, and bedroom are composed of actual sizes, so you can easily imagine how the furniture and accessories will fit in your actual home. As you follow the showroom route, you may unconsciously think, "I want to live in a house like this."🌳 🍁Living products are highly practical and satisfying in terms of price. In particular, storage items, lighting, and tableware have simple yet functional designs that blend well into everyday life. Many products require assembly, but the instructions are relatively intuitive and most of the necessary tools are provided, so you can assemble them on your own without difficulty. The downside is that the showroom is somewhat crowded on weekends when there are many people, and popular products are often sold out. Still, visiting the IKEA showroom is worth it because you can see and touch them in person. 🌸

🌳I took a stroll to the spot where Godokcheon Stream meets the Han River. It left me with the impression of a serene space where nature and the city harmoniously blend together. 1. Location and Accessibility You can reach the area on foot or by bike from Godok Station or Gangil Station. It is also close to the Gangdong apartment complexes, making it a popular walking route for local residents.🍁 2. Scenery and Atmosphere Walking along the waterway of Godokcheon Stream, you’ll arrive at the point where it meets the Han River, offering a wide-open view. Especially at sunset, the sky is beautifully painted with hues of orange and pink. The sound of water and birds creates a tranquil atmosphere, and there are benches and rest areas scattered around, making it a great place to relax.🌲 3. Walking and Cycling The bike paths and walking trails are well-separated, making it suitable for both walking and cycling. The road conditions are generally good, and the surrounding environment is well-maintained, ensuring safe usage.🌺 4. Visitors and Ambiance During weekend afternoons, the area can be somewhat lively with families and joggers, but it’s quieter on weekdays or in the early morning hours. Many people can be seen walking their pets as well.🌲

🔮 I recently visited the Gangdong I-Park River Mall. Overall, it was a clean and sophisticated shopping mall, attracting many family visitors. 1. Accessibility Located within the Gangdong Godeok Biz Valley, it was easy to find, and the spacious parking lot made traveling by car convenient. 🌳 2. Store Layout The mall featured a balanced mix of clothing, accessories, and lifestyle brands. It also housed a large supermarket and a cinema, catering to various visitor needs. 🍁 3. Food and Beverage Spaces The food court was relatively clean with ample seating, offering a wide selection of brands. However, it tended to get crowded on weekends, with some stores requiring a wait. 🌲 4. Atmosphere and Facilities The interior design was modern, complemented by bright lighting, creating a pleasant ambiance. The escalator and elevator layouts were well-organized, making movement within the mall convenient. 🍂

🌳 Many migratory birds flock to Godokcheon, including herons, egrets, and mallards. Among them, the sight of mallards breeding in Godokcheon and leading their ducklings around is incredibly adorable and heartwarming, offering a sense of healing just by watching them. This is also evidence of a thriving river ecosystem and a testament to the wonders of nature. 🍁 It’s fascinating and magical to see a mother duck guiding her tiny ducklings as they grow. Watching these small, fragile babies gradually mature into full-grown ducks, which then return to hatch their own eggs and lead their ducklings, is truly beautiful. 🔮 Additionally, wildflowers bloom along the river, naturally decorating the area and creating a pleasant view. 🌺

#June travel support fund 🔮IKEA has a food court It was convenient to be able to order at the kiosk The good thing is that the price is cheap I ordered kimchi fried rice at the kiosk and waited a long time When you order, a number comes out, and you can get it when your number appears on the electronic board🌳 There is a space where you can drink water and coffee, and you can get as many drinks as you want with a low price once you pay🍁 The space to eat is also large, but on holidays, there are many people, so you have to reserve a seat in advance before ordering. 🌺 The taste was average, and I think it would be convenient to use while shopping considering the cost-effectiveness🌲
