Jinhae 1 day trip.
I departed from Cheongju at 8.10am in the morning and reached Masan at 11.50am.
Unfortunately, the return ticket had sold for tonight...
I forced to delay my schedule...
Taking 760 bus to Jinhae took around 45minutes.
The beautiful scenes in Jinhae was a sight of sore eye.

I went to SangAn-Gil (성안길) again to review the unknown region.
One sad case was
that the cherry blossom trees right beside the Geum (개움) River were fall.
I could not forget
the beauty of the scene at last 2 weeks as the cherry blossom grew along the
river.
Window shopping.
I reached a bazaar.
The bazaar gathered
with lots of old people.
Then I realized the
downtown could be divided into modern place and old place.
Modern place was a
place target for young people or rich people.
Where old place was
a place target for old people or poor people.
I could see the big price change between this two places.

down.

Without any accident, we found this guesthouse.
6 people in a dorm with 2 shower rooms and 2 toilets.
I could imagine how crowded in the morning and at night.

The status of Sejong was right outside of main gate of the palace.
Surprisingly there was an underground exhibition for the history of sejong & a general.
At night, we dined in 인사둥 봉추찜닭.
We came across with the Buddha festival in Seoul.
There was plenty of lanterns sold on the road and many people brought along their lanterns and walked to a temple.
Maybe because of the Sinking of the MV Sewol incident in 16/04/2014.
Finally, we reach the CheongGyeCheon (청계천) to enjoy the beauty of the river at night.
There was various type of lanterns set on the river.
They showed another beauty of the river.
Without following the schedule that I had planned, we came to Dongdaemun (동대문).
Surprisingly, it was still that crowded at 11pm.
Many shopping mall were operating until that late.
Due to lack of planning in Dongdaemun (동대문), we decided walk around and discovered ourselves.
