남양주 가볼만한곳Namyangju is a quiet and beautiful city located near Seoul. Its unique natural landscape and various tourist attractions attract many people. Today, Travel Talk will introduce 7 places worth visiting in Namyangju. Let’s dive into the beauty of Namyangju together.
The first place worth visiting in Namyangju is Piano Falls. You can see it if you walk along the Bukhangang River in Namyangju. There is a piano-shaped building in front of the waterfall, which is why it is called Piano Falls. This piano-shaped building, which is the trademark of this waterfall, is a restroom and an observatory. The view of the large stream of water and the calm river from the observatory is impressive. In the summer, the free water park, which is temporarily open, is a tourist attraction that many families visit because the water is ankle-deep, so children can play safely and coolly.
The Water Garden is a fairly large waterside ecological park. It is rumored to be the best place to feel relaxed in Namyangju because it is good for taking a walk or riding a bike while looking at the mountains and rivers, and in the fall, you can see beautiful cosmos flowers, so it is also famous as a date spot. It is a popular travel destination where you can feel a different atmosphere from nearby Dumulmeori. It has its own parking lot, and if you visit by subway, it is a very good place to visit as it only takes 6 minutes from Ungilsan Station on the Gyeongui-Jungang Line.
Sujongsa is a temple hidden in the mountain where you can calmly enjoy the Bukhangang River and the surrounding scenery. It has been said to have the best view among the oriental temples since ancient times, and it has maintained a good location. The road up by car is a bit rough, but you can arrive by parking your car in the parking lot and walking for about 10 minutes as if you were feeling the energy of the mountain. The temple is not large, but the beautiful scenery and huge protective trees make your heart feel grand and create a wonderful atmosphere in the temple. For those who are driving near Seoul, I recommend visiting Sujongsa along the Bukhangang River.
Daenerys, the most famous bakery cafe in Namyangju, is a very attractive cafe with a view of the Bukhangang River outside the window and the ivy vines covering the entire cafe. Daenerys, which consists of four floors, is famous for wearing new clothes every season. In spring and summer, the vines produce green leaves, creating a green building. In fall, a red building appears, and in winter, only the branches remain, creating an even more charming Daenerys. Daenerys is located between the Water Garden and Piano Waterfall, representative tourist destinations in Namyangju. There is a small promotional center and a guest house at the entrance, and at the end of the walking path in front of the cafe, you can also see the tomb of King Sejo of Joseon.
Onam Reservoir has many attractive viewpoints and is a great place to take a walk. The surrounding scenery is beautiful and it is a quiet hidden attraction, so it is much loved by Namyangju residents as a walking path. You can see the changing views along the walking path that is about 3km long, and you can feel the lake and nature with your whole body. Also, you can see points such as the Moon Garden, the observatory, and the perimeter road on the walking trail. In particular, I recommend you visit the glass photo zone to feel the view. The walking trail of Onam Reservoir takes about an hour. I recommend it as a place worth visiting in Namyangju where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery to your heart’s content in a time that is neither long nor short.
In the summer, there is a pond at the entrance of Bongseonsa Temple where you can see beautiful lotus flowers. Despite being a temple, it is considered a dating spot for lovers in Namyangju. When you enter Bongseonsa Temple, you can see lanterns of various colors hanging densely in front of the main hall. It is a place where you can feel the splendor in the quiet atmosphere of this place. This place is not far from Gwangneung, another famous place in Namyangju, so it is good to see them together. It is a place where you can stop by Gwangneung, which has a wide meadow, and a good place to stop by.
Sandulsori✔ 48-31, Bul-am-san-ro 59-beongil, Namyangju-si✔ Every day 09:00 ~ 20:00✅ Admission: 6,000 won
The last place worth visiting in Namyangju is Sandulsori. This place, which operates an arboretum and a cafe, always has a beautiful light festival at night, so you can enjoy the shining scenery. The arboretum has various lights installed, making it great for taking pictures, and there is also an experience where you can feed small animals, so it is a place that many couples and families with children visit. The admission fee is 6,000 won, which is similar to other arboretums, but it is a place that is highly recommended among the places worth visiting in Namyangju, where you can make memories in a quiet and cozy atmosphere with classical background music.
Today, I introduced places worth visiting in Namyangju that contain both nature and history. There are many places where you can enjoy the scenery of the Bukhangang River and beautiful landscapes, and Namyangju has various charms, so why not take a day trip this weekend?
