During my time there, I bought a bicycle and used it not only for commuting but also for traveling around the city.
So, most of the places I’ll introduce here are ones I visited by bike.
이번글은 2024년에 내가 살았던 대전에서의 나의 추억에 대해서 써볼려 한다.
나는 대전에서 자전거를 구매하여 자전거를 타고 출퇴근도하고 여행도 다녔다.
따라서 지금 보여주는 장소들은 대부분 자전거를 타고 여행한것이다.
The first memorable place is Daejeon Expo Park.
One of the symbols of Daejeon, the Hanbit Tower, is located in this park.
It was built for the Daejeon Expo in 1993 and was designed to resemble the Cheomseongdae Observatory in Gyeongju.
The tower is made of exactly 1,993 bricks, symbolizing the year of the expo.
In front of the tower stands “Kumdori,” the official mascot of the Expo.
첫번쨰 추억의 장소는 대전 엑스포 공원이다.
1993대전 엑스포를 위해서 지어진 대전의 상징중 하나인 한빛탑도 공원에 있다.
이 한빛탑은 경주 첨성대를 모방하여 지어졌고 1993개의 벽돌로 이루어져있다.
그리고 탑앞에는 엑스포 마스코트인 "꿈돌이"가 있다.
공원옆에는 신세계 백화점이 있어 밥을 먹고 옥상에 올라가 대전 야경을 감상하였다.
While I was looking at a map wondering where to go next by bike, I discovered a unique park.
It’s a place where you can find the Genealogy Museum and statues representing different Korean family names.
After arriving there by bike and crossing the bridge over the river, I was greeted by a wide open lawn.
두번째 추억의 장소는 뿌리공원이다.
자전거를 타고 도착하고 강 위 다리를 건넜을때 눈앞에 넓은 잔디밭이 보였다.
I decided to look for the statue of my own family name, Seo, first.
Thanks to the signs, it didn’t take long to find it.
잔디를 가로 질러 걷다보면 한쪽에는 멋진 절벽이 있고 다른 쪽에는 동상들이 있었다.
나는 먼저 나의 성씨인 서씨를 찾기로 결정하였다.
표지판이 있어 금방찾았다
This is the statue of my family name, Seo.
Each statue has the history of its corresponding family name written on it.
I think this park is called Ppuri Park (which means "Root Park") because it allows people to learn about the origins of their family names.
If you pay a fee, you can also ride a duck boat to get a closer view of both the cliff and the ducks.
I highly recommend visiting this place if you ever come to Daejeon.
The third memorable place is Daecheong Lake, the third-largest lake in South Korea.
I visited the lake the day after heavy rain, so there were almost no people around.
That allowed me to fully focus on the sounds of nature and enjoy a peaceful moment all to myself.
There are also many cozy cafés and restaurants nearby, making it a perfect spot to visit with someone you love.
