My love, Korea: Jeollanam-do (Naju Image Theme Park)

Aloha, today i am going to introduce Image Theme Park 罗洲影像主题乐园 (나주영상테마파크) that is situated at Naju. Naju is a small city in South Jeolla Province. Previously, the capital of South Jeolla was located at Naju until it was moved to Gwangju. Naju is also famous for the Naju Pear where pear museum and pear garden can be found in Naju. Too bad that i do not have the chance to visit the museum and the garden.

Well, this Image Theme Park is a scenic tourist attraction!!! I strongly recommend that if you have the chance to travel Jeollanam-do area, Image Theme Park  is a MUST VISIT place!!! Hahaha~~i am too emotional, but trust me you will never regret it! 

Naju Image Theme Park is the largest drama shooting place where many epic dramas were filmed such as “Jumong" which is a famous TV drama and many other dramas. Jumong is a historical drama which portrays the life of Jumong Taewang, the founder of the Goguryeo Kingdom. I didn't watch this drama so i have no idea what's the drama about but i guess its a good drama as my Korean Traditional Art and Culture lecturer said so. LOL~~

As i entered the gate, there was a streets of stars who have acted in the dramas and movies taken in the Naju Image Theme Park with their pictures and their hand prints.

Houses in noble village where villagers used to live, street of stores and various items in daily life which portray the living of the society in Goguryeo Kingdom.

Middle fortress is established as a role to separate the life and culture between the noblemen and commoners. Main palace also can be found in here.

LOL, having oppa gangnam style here!

Aren't the scenery behind me spectacular?!!

There are some costumes worn by the actors an actresses in the dramas. But you can wear it for free and take some photos as a remembrance and have fun! ^^

Ok. I guess that's all for Naju Image Theme Park. If you have any questions, you can visit this website: http://www.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SI/SI_EN_3_1_1_1.jsp?cid=495604. 

Annyeong~~ XOXO

p/s: For transportation, i recommend to take taxi. At first we planned to take a bus stated in the Korea tourism website, however we waited for a long time and there were no buses to the theme park. So, we chose to take a taxi. It takes approximately 25-30 minutes, i guess. (For taxi, i strongly recommend at most 4 persons per taxi, its better do not exceed 4 persons as most of the taxi driver in Korea do not take passengers that are more than 4 unless you are lucky, which is in our case..hehe). If you have 5 people just like us, you can try to persuade the taxi driver and some of them agree to fetch but they will charge extra 1000-2000 won but i think is ok since there are 5 of us.
