I have to go somewhere this weekend.

Description
Book Introduction
Richer and more splendid,
Revised and expanded edition!
Time has flown by again since I published “I Want to Go Anywhere on the Weekend” in the spring of March 2015.
Three years is enough time for even a remote village to change somehow.
Therefore, a revised and expanded edition is published.
We've added unique travel destinations that many people have been curious about, and removed places that have become less appealing over time.
We also supplemented the updated information and introduced better, lesser-known courses.
We've also added photos of more wonderful remote villages to help you enjoy your trip.
The author introduces places that even the people of South Korea have never been to, places that can be visited in a cozy and sometimes affectionate way.
It's a place where you have to go deeper than other places to see, and a place where you have to exert a little more effort to encounter, but there's more waiting for us there than you might think.
Most of the places he introduces have good air, clear streams, wildflowers, and forests of giant trees.
The travel that the author recommends may be considered inconvenient and difficult in this day and age when transportation and convenience are readily available.
Although it is hidden in every nook and cranny and requires a winding walk to get there, and there are places where you have to park your car and walk a long way because there are no major roads, and there are places where you have to take a boat to get there, I am confident that you will encounter unexpected joys on your journey.
The author hopes that more people will discover and enjoy this charm.
It makes us wonder how our hearts will be moved if we go to the places introduced in this book.
Moreover, his warm guidance makes us feel like we cannot help but leave.

Into the book
Manhang Village / Manhangjae
Manhangjae is the highest mountain pass in Korea that can be reached by car.
It connects Jeongseon to Yeongwol and Taebaek, and is part of the Untan Road.
The road pierced every corner of the mountain and continued all the way to Manhangjae.
The ridge where Manhangjae is located is the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range, which runs from Taebaeksan Mountain to Hambaeksan Mountain. Geumdaebong Peak, Eundae Peak, and Jeongamsa Temple, one of the five major Nirvana shrines in Korea, are also located at its foot.
There are many foggy days because the temperature is 5 to 10 degrees different from the normal temperature.
It's an imaginary place where you can walk on clouds.
Manhangjae, where you can feel the clouds, and Manhang Village, the village below it, seem like heaven.

Ulleungdo Nari Basin / Seonginbong Peak Climb
A representative course is the one that starts from Dodong, goes up to Seongsanbong Peak, and then returns.
However, the road from Dodong to the entrance of Daewonsa Temple is made of cement and is steep, so it is easy to get tired.
You can go there and back in about 5 to 6 hours, but I personally recommend the course that starts from Nari Basin.
The path from Nari Basin to Seongsanbong is much easier than the one from Dodong, and since it is a path through a natural forest, you can walk while feeling healed the entire way up.
You can go hiking in the cool breeze even in midsummer.
However, because it is a volcanic island, the road to the summit is not a series of uphill and downhill climbs, but rather a straight uphill path.
After passing Shinsungsu, you must climb over 1,500 stairs to reach Seongsanbong Peak.
This path was dozens of times more difficult than it was before there were no stairs, so I hope you climb it one step at a time, thinking it is easier than before.
If you climb Seongsanbong Peak, see the observatory, and then come down to Dodong, you can say that you have taken the best Seongsanbong course.

Woldeung Village / Forsythia
The first time I went here was in March 2006.
I remember it because it was a field trip I went on with my mother for the first time in a long time.
My mother wasn't feeling very well at that time.
I remember it even more because it was the first family outing after I had fully recovered.
Whenever I go there, I always think of my mother and father.
I think it's because I remember the scene of my patriarchal and blunt father, whom I've seen since I was little, walking while holding my mother's hand tightly.
The flower language of the forsythia is ‘forgiveness of love.’
It seems like the father is asking for forgiveness for the past when he was crazy about traveling and left the house to his mother, and that maybe that was why his mother was unwell.
It seems like his mother is holding his hand and telling him that it's okay.
I wonder if the reason why there is a soft pink color instead of a red color in Woldeung Village is because there is forgiveness of love.

Publisher's Review
My father, who searched for good walking paths in our country,
The son who tells people the way
A journey of a father and son who are bound to be heavenly 'travelers'
There are times when I want to come back after spending some quiet time with my family or friends.
However, there are many cases where people stay in famous tourist spots and get hit by people or have their heads hurt from pollution.
So, author Lee Won-geun and his father introduce people to a quieter and more secluded remote village.
Just because it's called Oji doesn't mean it's located in a very deep place, and it's not as inconvenient to get to as you might think.
You don't have to worry about having nothing to do because there's nothing to see.
We would like to introduce a trip that will refresh your mind and body while escaping from the pollution.
Author Lee Won-geun's father is a traveler who loves to travel so much that he feels sick if he doesn't go on a trip even for a day.
His father, who is the CEO of Seungwoo Travel Agency, has been pioneering domestic travel.
The author began traveling at a young age under the influence of his father, and is currently pursuing his career as a traveler as the head of the domestic travel team at a travel agency called 'Travel Doctor.'
I've been doing this for 20 years.
I traveled all over South Korea with my father to investigate and created various courses.
And I have made that course and journey known to many people, and have led and guided them.
This book is both a guidebook and a record of the author's new journey, based on the travel he learned from his father since childhood.
Their companionship, which began a long time ago, is being conveyed in its entirety.
Just spread out an inch from where you are.
Easy travel! The fun of choosing!
A short weekend away, you'll find a wealth of fascinating travel destinations within a short space of time.
But unlike traditional travel guides that are filled with detailed information about the destination, this book focuses on the charm of the place and the reasons why you should go there.
First, it tells you to leave, and then it briefly introduces the recommended itinerary and nearby attractions, things to do, and places to eat.
Since the recommended itinerary only covers the itinerary in the town you arrive at, you don't have to worry about your daily schedule after arriving at the town, no matter where you start.
As brief as the information given about a destination is, it suggests special things that can only be enjoyed in that area.
Here are some amazing things you can only enjoy there, such as the Donggang Halmi flower, which only blooms in Donggang in the world, Jeongseon Arirang in Jeongseon, Kotdeungchigi noodles, Dalgi medicinal water soup in Wolwe Village, pickled vegetables from Grandma Yerim of Gyeongnam Restaurant in Odaesan, and charcoal grilled food in Bongseong Village.
They are attractive enough just to enjoy one.
I just want to take a walk, have a hearty meal, and meet the people who live there and exchange a few words.
The thought of leaving comes first.
The joy and delight you feel when you encounter something unexpected will make you forget all the hardships.
In some ways, seemingly insignificant things can make our day more leisurely and tickle our hearts.
The book introduces a total of 51 places, including 29 in Gangwon-do, 10 in Gyeongsang-do, 8 in Jeolla-do, 2 in Chungcheong-do, and 2 in Gyeonggi-do.
It might be a good idea to prioritize your travels by region, or you could prioritize places that are good for flower viewing, good for walking, places with flowing streams, or places with dense forests.
Some great villages to visit for flower viewing include Woldeung Village (page 320), where the entire village is dyed pink with peach blossoms; Gulmokjae in Jogyesan Mountain (page 312), where you can truly enjoy the harmony of blooming flowers and temples; Heungbu Village (page 302), where thick azaleas grow taller than a person, Sansuyu Village (page 331), where cornelian cherry trees stand in rows in full bloom with yellow flowers; and Seolpi Village (page 108), where various types of wildflowers bloom in different shapes every week. It’s fun to choose a place to go this week that suits your taste and mood.
In particular, we are introducing over 20 valleys in our country, but we have selected only those places where people do not visit and the water is very clear.
There are countless valleys, including a valley with shallow waters where you can safely enjoy the summer with young children, the valley of Daehyeon Village (page 225), where the ice age-era salmon lives, the valley of Goraday Village with a nearby waterfall and a powerful stream of water where you can hear the roaring sound of the water more than anywhere else, the moss valley of Bongmyeong-ri (page 90) where you can enjoy the blue to your heart's content because of the abundance of moss, the valley of Jogyeong-dong Village (page 134) where people living in remote areas enjoy bathing naked, and the Mureung Valley (page 185), which is said to be a valley where immortals played.
There are also places that are disclosing it cautiously as if it were a secret.
It is a place that few people know about, offers spectacular views, and has preserved and unspoiled nature.
For example, Seonamsa Temple in Jogyesan Mountain (page 312) has a very beautiful harmony between the temple and the flowers, so you can enjoy flower viewing in a different way.
The same goes for places like Naejangsan Banwol Village (page 294).
I am introducing this place generously in the hopes that you can enjoy flower viewing and autumn foliage viewing without being overwhelmed by people.
The old road to the salt river in Hanchi Village (page 56) and Yeongari Village (page 141) are also revealed in detail.
And they are great places to go with your family.
If you have your own car, it's even better.
Walking together, breathing fresh air, seeing green things, and meeting good people are things you can't get unless you leave, so I really hope you leave with a light heart.
Every single sentence pierces your heart as you lie on the couch watching TV on the weekend.
You'll be shouting, "I need to go somewhere this weekend!" so get off the couch and pack your bags.
In our country, there are so many great places closer than you think, within arm's reach if you just spread out your arms.
Let's go 'anywhere' for now.
‘Amudeona’ is also the name of a restaurant located inside the traditional market of Yecheon Yonggung.
This traditional market still stands in its original form, with oil refineries still standing, signs created by movie poster artists, and quiet streets filled with people leisurely passing the time.
The writer stopped by here and passed by a restaurant called 'Amudeona', and the words kept lingering in his head.
The writer stops for a moment and looks back at the restaurant.
The fleeting phrase 'anywhere' feels strangely pretty and even affectionate.
Anyone who has visited this town will be able to relate.
I hope to stop by this town for a moment and grab some warm things.
I wish I could put it in my arms and go through the days again, and then suddenly leave with the intention of going somewhere else.
The author sincerely hopes that people will stand on high ground, look down on the village, and think that they made the right choice in coming here.
