[Hwasun] Dolmen Site Commentary + Forest Trekking + 2 Meals + Accommodation
Review of a 2-Day, 1-Night Healing Trip to Hwasun, Jeonnam with My Wife Leaving our busy daily lives behind, my wife and I went on a 2-day, 1-night trip to Hwasun, Jeonnam, just the two of us. After driving quite a long distance from Goyang to Hwasun, we arrived at our destination around 2:30 PM. It was a time when both our bodies and minds might have been exhausted from the long drive, but thanks to the office manager who welcomed us as soon as we arrived, our trip started off perfectly right from the start. The welcome tea—an "iced jujube tea"—handed to us by the office manager, along with an even warmer and more welcoming smile, made all the fatigue accumulated on the way back melt away like snow. I felt completely at ease thanks to the generous hospitality, which made me feel like I was visiting a relative's house. After unpacking and settling in, we set out to fully experience the charms of Hwasun. A Time Travel to the Past: Commentary on the Dolmen Site If we had simply looked around, the dolmen site would have seemed like nothing more than a pile of stones. However, with the accompanying professional commentary, the experience felt completely different. Thanks to the guide's vivid explanations, it was fascinating, as if we had traveled back in time to the prehistoric era thousands of years ago. It was a time when both my wife and I were deeply immersed in the deep history of Hwasun. **Meals Filled with the Flavors of the South and Cozy Accommodation** Food is an absolute must on any trip. The neat yet delicious meals perfectly captivated our taste buds at every meal. After filling our stomachs with healthy and hearty food, we returned to an accommodation that was cozy and comfortable enough to completely wash away the day's fatigue. We were able to enjoy a sweet, restful sleep in a quiet atmosphere. Although we were worried about the long distance when we left Goyang City, our 1-night, 2-day stay in Hwasun was a perfect healing experience that more than compensated for all the effort involved. From the manager’s heartwarming hospitality that touched us from our very first meeting, to the magnificent dolmen sites, refreshing forest trekking, and excellent meals and accommodations—everything was truly special. For the first time in a long while, my wife and I enjoyed a genuine rest and were fully recharged with energy to return to our daily lives. Hwasun, with its warm hospitality and beautiful nature, is a place I definitely want to visit again.
