I recommend you to come in spring or autumn but since the weather and temperature is uncertain during the day and night, it will be better for you to wear warm enough clothes. Don't forget to bring a powerbank or spare battery if you like to take pictures! 📸
Jinju, I have heard about Jinju city many times, but this is the first time I have had the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Jinju city. It was really unforgettable days. I found a lot of hidden gems, a soothing feeling with a beautiful view and people are very friendly!! I think, it is not enough to explore Jinju City only for 1-2 days, I need a longer time. There are many beautiful places and there is a cute Hamo in every corner ahahah 🥰🤗 Now, I am falling in love with Hamo!!!
Day 1
11.09
BUS
I took a bus to Jinju Fortress from the hotel where I stayed. It is good to visit during the day or at night because Jinju Fortress has a fairly large park location and a different vibe between day and night, you can enjoy the beauty of the park, walk around and see the city view from Jinju Fortress❤️

Day 2
11.10
BUS, WALK
This is actually Jinju Namgang Lantern Exhibition Hall but I can’t find the location. If you visit the lantern exhibition on the same day as Jinju Fortress, you can just walk there because the location is close to each other. You can also enjoy the beauty of the night around Namgang.

WALK
This is actually Kim Si-Min-Ho Cruise Ship but I can’t find the location. I would recommend you to visit this place at night rather than dering the day, the cruise atmosphere is very romantic.
