🌿 Our past trip to Dangjin

🌊 Trip Overview - Sea picnic

“A seaside picnic, a seaside park, and a seaside fortress.”

In Dangjin, the sea meets every corner of life —
from a calm reservoir and a quiet fortress village
to a gentle music picnic by the shore.

This trip takes you through all of them, slowly and intentionally —
a day designed to flow with the rhythm of the sea.

You’ll walk through an ancient fortress, empty your mind at a Confucian school,
pause by Sapgyo Lake,
and end your day at a grassy picnic zone where music blends with the sound of waves.

📌 A moment to simply exist — watching the sea, listening to music, and breathing in stillness.
That’s why we created this journey.

✨ Designer’s Note

“The sea has always been my emotional compass.” – Tengku, designer who finds peace in water

When I’m near the sea, everything slows down —
and somehow, that’s exactly what I need.
You don’t need to talk. You don’t need to perform.
You can just… be.

That’s the spirit I wanted to bring into this trip.
A slow, flowing day where emotions breathe and thoughts settle.

A quiet fortress walk,
A moment of stillness in a Confucian courtyard,
Honest pauses by a lakeside,
And finally, a picnic by the sea — with music, people, and wind.

This isn’t a trip to do more.
It’s a day to let go.
A day that lets you exist — gently, fully, freely.

🏞️ About the Destination

🏯 Myeoncheon Fortress

Built during the Goryeo Dynasty and reinforced in Joseon, this stone fortress once protected the coastal region of Dangjin.

You can still walk the original paths of the outer wall, where locals once patrolled to defend the town.

The area is full of traditional architecture, poetic alleyways, and rural stillness that allows for self-reflection.

You'll participate in a photo mission designed to help you explore this space with curiosity.

🧘 Myeoncheon Hyanggyo

A Confucian school from the Joseon era located within the fortress.

It was used to educate local scholars and host ancestral rites.

Its layout — a quiet courtyard, wooden lecture halls, and tiled rooftops — provides a calm and spiritual atmosphere.

We’ll pause here to reflect or write a short letter to ourselves, in the spirit of Korean traditional values.

🍶 Timeless Makgeolli, Living Spirit

Step into Shinpyeong Brewery, where time itself ferments. For over a century, three generations have carried on the proud spirit of Korean rice wine—brewing not just alcohol, but history, patience, and soul. Inside the 1930s brewery and its beautifully restored rice granary museum, you’ll trace Korea’s journey from the past to the present through the art of fermentation. And the best part? You’ll craft your own makgeolli, blending tradition with your personal touch—an experience that connects you to 100 years of living heritage.

🌊 Sapgyo Lake & Goljeong Reservoir Area

This peaceful lake area is loved by locals for its scenic walking trails and quiet cafés.

Although we won’t enter the reservoir trail, we’ll pass nearby and enjoy a calm break in the area.

You’ll take part in a light photo mission during this moment of rest.

🍲 Lunch Menu: Smoked Duck Wrap Set

A wholesome Smoked Duck Wrap Set (Ori Ssambap Jeongsik) offers a true taste of the Korean countryside — fresh local vegetables, delicately smoked duck, and an elegant 8-side Korean meal prepared with seasonal ingredients.
Each dish reflects the sincerity and warmth of traditional Korean hospitality, allowing you to experience the balance of flavor, health, and harmony that defines Korean dining culture.

🍲 Dinner: Seafood Kalguksu

At a cozy local restaurant near Sappgyo Lake, enjoy a hearty Seafood Kalguksu (handmade noodle soup) paired with crispy Seafood Pancake (Haemul Pajeon) — a perfect comfort meal after a full day of travel.
The rich, savory broth and fresh local seafood capture the essence of Korea’s coastal flavors, offering a warm and satisfying end to your journey.

🎶 Dangjin Music Festival – Picnic Zone

Not your typical loud festival — this is a relaxed cultural event hosted by Dangjin City.

In the picnic zone, you’ll find grass lawns, music performances, and local food booths.

Perfect for stretching out, journaling, talking, or simply existing with music in the background.

You’re free to move around or stay in one place — the time is yours.
