[Buk-Gu/Attraction] Mudeungsan Observatory

Mudeungsan Observatory

A place where you can see Gwangju at a glance!

Let me introduce Mt. Mudeung Observatory, a famous place in Gwangju.

 

01 ｜Visit

 This is how the observatory looks like

It’s built in 1965 and has been a shelter for the hikers for a long time

Technically, it’s an observatory cafe

I went inside to get some cold drinks

 You can get drinks that are made right away as well as can drinks, cold beer, and a side dish.

​Seafood pancake and acorn curd are popular here

Done ordering! Now, shall we go see a night view?

 It’s a 3^rd floor building

1^st floor is the outdoors, 2^nd floor is the interior, and 3^rd floor is the rooftop.

This picture above is an outdoor terrace.

It’s right on the left side of this building.

 Tables and the seats are prepared.

 Outdoor has its own awesomeness

How about the interior?

 If you take that stairs in the picture, you’ll see the tables.

 We got ice Americano to cool off for a while

If you order on the first floor and get a table, they’ll deliver them to you.

Aren’t they look so cool?

We were drinking and waiting to see a night view

 The sun started to set……

 Finally, Gwangju’s night view at a glance!!

 Wanna see a better view?

 Isn’t it so cool?

It’s a great place to come with your family or a lover.

Even without a car, you can climb for 20 minutes to get there.

If you want to climb Mt. Mudeung,

I’d like to recommend Mudeung Observatory.
