Are there any special exhibits worth seeing at the Buyeo National Museum, apart from the authentic Baekje Gilt-bronze Incense Burner (National Treasure No. 287)?

Yes, in the central lobby of the Buyeo National Museum, a spectacular digital immersive video show themed around the Baekje Gilt-bronze Incense Burner is presented at scheduled times. The laser show, filling the ceiling and walls, boasts such high quality that children are captivated by it.

Is the Buyeo amphibious bus city tour mentioned in the article currently available?

No, the Buyeo amphibious bus is currently temporarily suspended due to safety inspections and operational maintenance. You must reconfirm its operating status before your visit.

I heard that the Baekje Cultural Land is too vast to walk around with children. Are there other ways to get around?

Yes, the Baekje Cultural Land is indeed very spacious, and it might be difficult to walk around with children. In this case, we recommend taking the electric shuttle car operated at the entrance or renting bicycles to explore the complex.

Is there a comfortable way to view Nakhwaam Cliff at Busosanseong Fortress in Buyeo with young children?

Yes, if you're with young children, choosing the course where you take a Hwangpo sailboat from Gudeurae Ferry and look up at Nakhwaam Cliff from the river is much more comfortable. The sight of the cliff viewed with the river breeze offers a different kind of emotion than seeing it from land.

Buyeo Educational Trip 2026: Explore Ancient Baekje History

Hop on the Honam Expressway from Gwangju,

and in just an hour and a half, you'll arrive at...

the last capital of Baekje, a city both sadly

and beautifully tragic: Buyeo. I recently had the chance to visit!

Buyeo is the pinnacle of Baekje culture, a place that showcases the utmost

elegance and sophistication.

For parents hoping to bring textbook history to life for their kids during the winter break,

Buyeo is an excellent choice.

The Buyeo National Museum, in particular, offers indoor viewing,

so you don't have to worry about the weather. And in winter, the reed forest at Gungnamji Pond

presents a serene tranquility, like a traditional ink wash painting.

1. The Essence of Baekje Art: Buyeo National Museum

Undeniably, any trip to Buyeo should begin at

the Buyeo National Museum.

Here, you'll find the authentic

Baekje Gilt-bronze Incense Burner, National Treasure No. 287,

a familiar sight from textbook covers.

The aura of the genuine article, something that replicas or photos can never fully capture,

is deeply moving for children just to behold.

As you discover the phoenix perched atop the lid, the five musicians playing instruments,

and the 26 hidden animals within, you'll be amazed by the Baekje people's

imagination and exquisite craftsmanship.

In the central lobby, a spectacular digital immersive video show

themed around the incense burner unfolds at set times.

The laser show, filling the ceilings and walls,

boasts such high quality that children will be utterly mesmerized.

Be sure to check the showtimes in advance!

2. Korea's First Amphibious Bus City Tour Guide

When you think of unique experiences in Buyeo, the first thing that comes to mind

is definitely the amphibious bus.

The thrilling moment when the bus, having driven on land,

plunges directly into the Baekmagang River makes this a favorite course for kids.

However, there's something important you need to check before visiting.

Currently, the amphibious bus is temporarily

suspending operations due to safety checks and maintenance.

3. The Revival of a 1,400-Year-Old Palace: Baekje Cultural Land

The Baekje Cultural Land, a magnificent reconstruction of the Baekje Sabi Palace and Neungsa Temple based on historical research,

offers an overwhelming sense of scale.

These grand two-story wooden buildings have been filming locations for numerous works, including the drama 'The Last Empress',

and are perfect for capturing incredible 'life photos'.

Since the grounds are incredibly vast, walking with children

might be a bit challenging.

In this case, I recommend taking the electric shuttle operating from the entrance,

or renting bicycles to explore the complex.

You can truly savor the feeling of time-traveling to the past,

immersed in the majesty of the royal palace.

4. A Harmony of Sad Legends and Breathtaking Views:

Busosanseong Fortress and Nakhwaam Rock

Nakhwaam Rock, the site of Baekje's final stand and imbued with the legend of the Three Thousand Royal Women,

is an indispensable historical education site.

Climb to Baegungjeong Pavilion atop the cliff, look down at the gently flowing Baekmagang River,

and tell stories about the fate of a fallen nation and the feelings of its people at that time.

While the walking paths are well-maintained, if you're traveling with young children,

it's much more comfortable to take a hwangpo sailboat from Gudeurae Ferry

and gaze up at Nakhwaam Cliff from the river.

The sight of the cliff from the water, with the river breeze on your face,

offers a distinct kind of awe compared to seeing it from land.

5. Gungnamji Pond: Where Love Blossoms

Gungnamji Pond, Korea's first artificial pond,

is famously linked to the romantic love story of King Mu (Seodong)

and Princess Seonhwa.

In summer, it's a vibrant spectacle with lotus flowers in full bloom, but

in winter, the serene Porongjeong Pavilion in the middle of the pond

and the gracefully drooping willow trees create a tranquil

and picturesque atmosphere.

Enjoy a leisurely stroll around the pond and let your kids

have fun on the swings.

After sunset, the lights illuminate, creating an even more beautiful

nightscape, making it the perfect grand finale

to your Buyeo trip.

6. Must-Try Flavors in Buyeo:
Lotus Leaf Rice and Rural Fried Chicken

For a quintessential Buyeo culinary experience, I recommend the fragrant

lotus leaf rice set meal.

The sticky rice infused with the subtle aroma of lotus leaves makes for

a healthy and delicious meal.

While kids might find lotus leaf rice unfamiliar at first,

they'll surely enjoy it when paired with the accompanying tteokgalbi

or grilled fish.

If you're looking for something a bit more universally appealing,

the rural fried chicken at Buyeo Market is the answer.

Featured on Baek Jong-won's Top 3 Chefs, this place is known for its

thin and crispy batter.

You'll taste the authentic 'old-school' fried chicken, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside,

making it a fail-safe choice for a family meal out.

My family initially planned to share just one chicken,

but we ended up devouring three!
