Lantern's festival in Seoul

Hello everyone,

If you are planing a trip to Seoul on May, you should definitely participate in the lantern's festival! 

A lot of events are organized around Seoul and we wanted to introduce it for you.

Traditional lanterns are exposed all around Cheonggyecheon river, and it's really beautiful. It's even better at night as the lighting is awesome. You can see it from May 6th to 15th! Don't miss it.

Around Jogyesa temple, near Jonggak and Anguk station, you can experience traditional buddhist culture. Go on May 8th from 12pm to 7pm!

This festival is also having a parade on May 7th from 7pm to 9.30pm. It's taking place between Heunginjimun Door to Jogyesa temple. It's in Jongno streets. Don't miss it!

And to close this festival, you can experience the big party in the streets of Insadong and in front of Jogyesa Temple. There will be music, traditional dancers and musicians. 

Enjoy with everyone the traditional festival!

How about taking a rest in Jeju-do?

 Hello everyone, 

You are maybe thinking about visiting South Korea and Seoul at first, but do you know that it's possible to go to Jeju-do for a really cheap price too ? It's only one hour away from Seoul by plane and it can cost around 50USD round trip only! 

It's possible to rent a car for a cheap price too there, and foreigners can drive in Korea with an international driver license. 

 Jeju-do is an amazing island where you can find nature, sea and mountains mixed but also traditions and wonderful dishes all reunited! 

A lot of places in Jeju-do are registered in UNESCO must-see locations of the world.

Ask Leo's guesthouse staff if you want more information about Jeju-do or if you want help to build a trip there! 

See you soon, 

Blandine. 

How is it to visit Korea during Spring?

Hello everyone! 

Obviously, spring seems the best to visit Korea, and you are right! Even besides the wonderful spring and flowers blossom festivals, just visiting the famous spot of Korea is amazing. 

For example, we went to Gyeongbokgung Palace with friends and it was a memorable moment. The weather was awesome, it was warm and the flowers were still fully decorating the place. 

I hope these photos will maybe make you want to visit us and Korea! 

See you soon =)

Spring is here!

Hello! 

The weather was really great this week and obviously warm. We were all waiting for the flower blossom, and..... it came! Finally, we started to see the trees full of flowers! It's either cherry, plum, just flowers trees ans it's really wonderful! 

The view is comforting and with this nice weather the life in Korea is truly enjoyable. Even just walking around your area, the one you know for months, and you instantly become happy! It's even a new way to discover again your neighborhood. 

Here is a photo I took this afternoon on the guesthouse's roof! 

Isn't this amazing? The power of flowers is strong and I really invite you to come and experience it yourself! =) 

Don't forget that there are many festivals organized around the flowers blossom in Seoul and everywhere in the country! 

See you soon, 

Blandine.
