Gunsan Taeseong Banjeom. There aren't many noodles in the jjambbong, but it's filled with seafood as good as a seafood stew in a huge bowl. I gave up because I was tired of eating. The tangsuyuk tastes better the more I chew it. It seems to be well-fried. The jjajang is spicy jjajang, and the flavor spreads in my mouth. It's a famous local restaurant. #SummerCapture #RestaurantExploration #SafeTravel

The Iksan National Museum was built to celebrate the Baekje Dynasty culture. It has a permanent exhibition of around 400 relics (from a total of more than 19,000 found at the site of the Mireuksa Temple, the largest temple of the Baekje Dynasty). It has a shape of a stone pagoda and is located on low ground so it won’t interfere with the view of the temple. An important museum to visit at Iksan city. #merrychristmas #travelinspiration #historicallandmarks #historicalandculturaltravel #merrychristmas
