Last Friday, WalkintoKorea participated in the Daejeon City Tour. We had a wonderful time learning about Daejeon University of Science and Technology and taking a nature-healing trip to the famous Jangtaesan Recreational Forest.


Daejeon Institute of Science and Technology (대전과학기술대학교)

The trip started at 2 pm, we departed from Daejeon Station and our first destination was the Daejeon Institute of Science and Technology.

This is a very old institution, established in 1940. We visited the landmark building of this school - Hyechon Tower and Carillon. This is also the symbol of this tradition-rich school.

This landmark building is the tallest in this large school, located on the right-hand side upon entering the school. When viewed from afar, with the giant clock, it looks like Daejeon's Big Ben. It represents the founding principles of the Daejeon Institute of Science and Technology of reaching from the ground to the sky. From here you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful city of Daejeon.

However, this building was actually built to install carillon bells as a bell tower. With 78 bells, Hyechon Tower Carillon was authenticated by the Guinness Book of World Records to be the world's largest carillon, delivering a message of 'Never leadership give up' symbolizing the dynamic of young and robust Daejeon Institute of Science and Technology.

Our second destination is the Jangtaesan Recreational Forest located in the southern part of the city. Well, what to say now? Jangtaesan's beauty really overwhelmed us. Although it was the end of the deciduous season, the trees were still covered in an orange color throughout the forest. As my companion said, "Everything is orange!"

There were many stops at Jangtaesan, but because we didn't have much time, we couldn't visit them all. However, we took full advantage of the time to set foot on the most outstanding points of Jangtaesan. It's quite unfortunate that the Vibrating Bridge was under maintenance that day, but the Forest Skyway wasn't bad either! We really touched these golden leaves. It feels so magical to be walking among the trees as if trying to reach you!

The hike in Jangtaesan is also quite easy to follow. We have reached the top of this mountain. Although it was quite tiring, it felt like conquering myself. moreover, the view from this location is truly worth it!

I have returned with a refreshment that I have not had in a long time amidst the chaos of life. Thank you Daejeon city tour guide for leading us on a wonderful trip! What a healing tour with picturesque views!
