Jeongdongjin means . Judging by the latitude, it is located in Jeong-dong of Dobong Mountain in Dobong-gu, Seoul. It used to be a place where a memorial service for the Dragon King was held by the King in Silla Dynasty as well as it is the most well-known sunrise spot in Korea where the sunrise festival designated by the government was held in 2000.

So I went to Jeongdongjin, the famous spot for sunrise. It was in the mid-February so weather was kinda warm like spring and chilly like winter at the same time.

This is the ticket office for Jeongdongjin Rail Bike activity. It starts to move every hour. Circulating the Hourglass Park takes 40 minutes and it costs 20,000 won for a two-seaters bike and 30,000 won for a four-seaters bike.

A family on a four-seaters rail bike looks so happy.

The rail bike heads to Sun Cruise Hotel far away and comes back here. It's a 5km distance route that you can run while you enjoy the cool view of the ocean.

One ticket costs 500 won to get into the train station then you can see the ocean closely.

This is a living rock that tells us we're in Jeongdongjin Station. It's thinner than the regular one yet natural, not artificially processed.

The typical view of Jeongdongjin Station. The railway running in parallel with the ocean and a pine tree. I feel like the god of the sea would answer to one of my prayers if I make a wish while I put a stone on the tower of hopes.

The old couple traveling Jeongdongjin moved me a bit.




NIKON Df | f/2.8 | iso 100 | 2015:02:14 10:29:05 | Flash did not fire. | 85mm



If you're in Jeongdongjin with someone, I think you should absolutely take pictures like this. ㅎㅎ

Finally the ocean train was coming back from afar.




NIKON Df | f/2.8 | iso 100 | 2015:02:14 10:30:45 | Flash did not fire. | 85mm



A tourist was running towards the ocean train. “Honey, come here now~"




NIKON Df | f/4.0 | iso 560 | 2015:02:14 10:31:52 | Flash did not fire. | 85mm



They look like four girls who went to same high school getting excited to take the tour train. All of the VIP seats are facing the windows to appreciate the ocean.

I liked the way the tourists use a train to get to other place. They were walking in haste with a bag on each one's back.




NIKON Df | f/2.8 | iso 100 | 2015:02:14 10:42:49 | Flash did not fire. | 24mm




NIKON Df | f/6.3 | iso 180 | 2015:02:14 10:43:31 | Flash did not fire. | 24mm



I could see a train employee working at Jeongdongjin Station. The station looks lonely but he must be busy dealing with tourist crowds on weekends.

The train that stopped at the station for a moment leaves again and all that's left on empty railways would be stories of people.




NIKON Df | f/5.6 | iso 200 | 2015:02:14 10:48:28 | Flash did not fire. | 24mm



Two people, who seemingly a husband and a wife, were guarding the station. The old man sells balloons and the woman sells cotton candy.

If you walk 100m past the station, there's a street on your left that leads you to the beach. And four-wheel bikes were waiting for the customers on the beach.




NIKON Df | f/4.0 | iso 125 | 2015:02:14 10:32:12 | Flash did not fire. | 85mm



The sound of four-wheel bikes and waves were in harmony.




NIKON Df | f/3.5 | iso 140 | 2015:02:14 10:18:17 | Flash did not fire. | 85mm



Young girl who's attracted to four-wheel bikes.




NIKON Df | f/11.0 | iso 160 | 2015:02:14 10:09:34 | Flash did not fire. | 24mm



I could see Sun Cruise Hotel far away. I could've seen the sun rising above the bow of that ship in the early morning.




NIKON Df | f/8.0 | iso 100 | 2015:02:14 10:12:28 | Flash did not fire. | 85mm



I guess this guest house would be more convenient place than the ship-shaped hotel to take pictures of sunrise in the morning. For it's a nice place, there are cheap guest houses lining up in the back alleys.

Warm fish cakes and hot dogs were waiting for tourists to warm them from cold sea breeze and appease their hungers at the entrance to the beach.

아하..... 찹쌀이 원래 좋은거군요.... 녹두...... 아! 녹두죽 좋네요... ㅎㅎㅎ

죽은 쌀로도 만드는 데 주로 찹쌀을 많이 쓰거든요. 찹쌀에 위에 좋은 음식이니 속 불편할때 죽이 좋은 음식이죠. 그리고 장염일 때는 녹두죽이 참 좋아요. 해독작용이 뛰어나서 장속의 나쁜 균을 때려 잡아주는지 금방 속이 좋아지더군요. 그러나 해독작용이 워낙 강해서 약과 함께 먹으면 약의 효능까지 말끔히 해독해버린다네요~

캬아아.. 죽이닷! 저는 오늘 점심도 본죽-야채죽 먹었는데... 사실 속이 조금 더부룩하거나 잠을 못자서 상태가 미묘할때는 늘 죽을 즐겨먹는 편입니다 :D
