Haksan Forest Poetry Library in Pyeonghwa-dong

📍Location: 36-46 Pyeonghwa 5-gil, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si

You'll find the path to the library next to Songjeong Summit.

At this point, it's practically a hike, isn't it??

When I go to a mountain or park

(= which basically means exercise)

My parents love it

hahahaha

After enjoying some field sightseeing,

Suddenly, we arrived at the library‼️

A library in the mountains, no, actually, in the forest,

and it's even a poetry library!

What a truly fairytale-like space.

It's so wonderful how Jeonju has a library

with a different theme in each neighborhood.

💜

This is a great place for travelers to rest.

Oh my goodness,

Seeing the tall, stretching trees

makes my mind feel clear and refreshed.

It's so romantic, you might wonder if it's a cafe or a library...

A truly romantic space.

Here, could I actually write a poem?

I feel like I could write one...

There's even an attic space that looks perfect for kids to play hide-and-seek,

and more.

Comfort, just like home

Even though I'm not usually one to read poetry collections,

as I read a few lines,

the library filled me with a cozy, warm feeling...

And something fun to enjoy at Haksan Forest Poetry Library:

The Literary Vending Machine!

Love, Comfort, Interest, Relaxation

doesn't look messy.

This passage came out from the essay collection 'Daily Seulah'!

To be different, to choose, to meet

Poems encompassing the world

A space for harvesting, and more –

the themes are so distinct!

In the Transcribing Zone,

notebooks and writing tools are provided,

A piece by poet Na Tae-joo,

written in beautiful handwriting.

The greatest gift I have received

under the sky

is today.

Among the gifts I received today,

the most beautiful gift

is you.

How could he write such a gift-like piece?

I wasn't sleeping...

I was thinking...

hahahahaha

A moment of healing and finding peace

in a space nestled within nature...

After enjoying your time at the library,

you can even take a light stroll

at Haksan Forest Poetry Library.

Wow!

Looks like it would make a fantastic exercise route, too...

(Not that I'm volunteering to do it myself, though!)

Now that Ipchu, the Beginning of Autumn, has passed,

and with the air feeling crisper these days,

how about combining a leisurely stroll up a local hill with a visit to this library?

This isn't your average library, crammed solely with books;

it's a place offering the tranquility that nature provides,

the comfort and peace enveloped by poetry,

and on those sweltering days,

the sweet relief of perfectly chilled air conditioning.

It's truly a spot where you can savor every single one of these delights.
