Those who visited Korea should aware that Starbucks is literally everywhere especially in Seoul, but little do know the location of the biggest starbucks in Korea. Located not in Seoul, the biggest starbucks is located at Yangpyeong, around 50km out of Seoul City Centre.
Located by the riverbank of Namhangang, this Starbucks Reserve outlet attracts many visitors especially from Seoul over the weekend. This menu is very different as it offers more varieties of pastries, cakes and bread, even more than the Starbucks Reserve outlet in Seoul. It is extremely enjoyable especially for bikers cycling from Seoul to have a sip of nice coffee and some bread to replenish the stamina after a long ride.

What's the most beautiful summer flower? The lotus, of course! And where's the best place to see it? Why, it's the Semiwon Lotus Flower Festival!
From Jul 1 to Aug 15, you can go to Semiwon Garden (located around 40 km eastbound from Seoul city center) to enjoy all kinds of lotuses, including the captivating red lotus, elegant white lotus, globally-renowned Perry's lotus, and the rare water lilies that can't be seen anywhere else in South Korea. What's more, there are a host of other activities to experience during the festival, such as lotus leaf tea making, a flea market, and much more.

Summer could be very scorching to many travelers but could be enjoyable at the same time, and definitely there are many activities to be done during this hot season. Between July and August is the peak blooming season of lotus flower. At Gyeonggi-do, there is a park called Semiwon which has several enormous ponds which houses thousands of Lotus plants whereby flowers will bloom during the day time. There are 3 major colours of lotus flower: pink, light pink and white blooming, accompanied by the lotus leaves. Since long time ago lotus flowers were considered pure as there is a saying goes: not contaminated though emerged from the soil. Lotus flower was also highly regarded in Buddhism as the verses stated that the Goddess of Mercy rests in a lotus ponds and often travels via a huge lotus flower.
The best time to visit is early July till mid August. Be sure to drink lots of water as the weather could be scorching hot and might cause dehydration.

cafe
Many cafes offer milk alternatives now. Not all but now when I go to a cafe, I can ask for soy, oat, or sometimes almond milk andโฆ they might actually say yes. You have no idea what a revelation this is! It used to only be Starbucks that didnโt look at you like you were crazy, and even then they only offered soy milk. Again, editing this list I realized how many cafes I put in that werenโt particularly trendy. Iโd say theyโre more on the quirky side (i.e. the poop cafe), but theyโre more something a tourist would visit for fun, not really a cafe youโd find local Seoulites frequenting or starring on their KakaoMap app. Iโll also note them below just so you know you were hallucinating when you originally saw them on this list.#staycation #cafe #urbanexplorer
