1. Yeojwacheon Stream

The best time to visit is late March/ early April when the cherry blossoms flourish. Take the subway to Sasang station and then the long distance bus to Jinhae. From the bus station, walk to Yeojwacheon. It has a long stream with numerous crossing Bridges. There is not much water in the stream so one can walk close to the stream. Avoid going there on the weekends or April 1 when the crowds are huge. The decorative lights come on at around 7 pm and the place is stunning. Leave by 8 pm to walk back to the Jinhae bus station to catch the last bus. One should see the cherry blossoms in the afternoon and then continue on to see them at night, to gain the full experience of the excitement. There are big crowds during the cherry blossom period (late March to early April) but the place is quite orderly (the visitors have good manners and do not push around).

You can understand the histories related to Kimhae from the past up to now if you look around in the museum. In particular, this museum is very famous for all kinds of relics related to the old kingdom of Keumguan Kaya. Allot one day to scrutinize the relics.

There was a place of birth and death of Roh Moo-hyun. Just five years ago, I vowed to visit, but the visit was only now. He was a President of humanity, so a lot of people still visited, meet Roh Moo-hyun and felt Roh's spirit. In a quiet place, birthplace, grave, memorial was located. South Korea's democracy as a representative figure is worth a visit.

This is a great place to visit if you're looking to see cherry blossoms in full bloom. There is lots of street food and we even came across a Turkish shawarma stall but can't vouch for it being halal. Public toilets are available but not always clean, so I'd suggest making sure you have lots of tissue, sanitizer and plenty of wet wipes on hand. There's a lot of rush here, so if you're looking for a relaxing and quiet visit, it's probably better to go early in the morning on a weekday.

Me and my friends arrived at the park at around 12 nn and since it’s holiday the park will close earlier and due to the low season and colder weather no one was using most of the outdoor attractions except from some brave souls, so trying them wasn’t that time consuming unlike summer, we averaged 5 minutes of climbing for every slides compared to 1 hour of waiting every summer. Most of the staff are really nice and we also availed the 19k coupon discount for the foreigners. We will definitely come back again.
