Korean Summer Bliss: Festivals, Fashion, and Fun !
Korea in the summertime holds a special place in my heart. It's a season bursting with vibrant festivals, enticing sales, and endless opportunities for outdoor adventures. Unlike the struggle of lugging around heavy winter coats, summer in Korea allows me to pack light and dress comfortably, mirroring the warm weather of my home country.

Summer in Korea explodes with vibrant festivals! From the Hangang River Summer Festival held along Seoul's Hangang River, a vibrant celebration featuring dazzling fireworks displays, live music concerts, and exciting boat races, to the Water Music Festival where you can cool down by playing with water, there's something for everyone.

The Korea Summer Sale offers incredible deals on everything from accommodations and transportation to fashion. The best part is that I can get the trendy summer clothes to wear back home, keeping my wardrobe on-trend.

There's plenty of time to soak up the outdoors. Hiking through stunning national parks or spending a leisurely afternoon picnicking by the Han River are fantastic ways to embrace the warm weather. But when the midday sun gets a little too intense, there's always the option to cool down in a museum. The National Museum of Korea, with its vast collection of historical artifacts, or a contemporary art gallery, offer a refreshing escape from the heat. Air-conditioned havens like these provide a refreshing escape from the summer heat, while still offering enriching experiences.

This is one of my favorite Korean dishes. This traditional ginseng chicken soup might seem counterintuitive in the heat, but it's believed to balance the body's energy (qi) and combat the summer's heat. A whole young chicken is simmered with ginseng, garlic, jujubes, and other nourishing ingredients, resulting in a flavorful broth and incredibly tender meat. It's a truly comforting and delicious way to nourish yourself during the hot months. Nami Island in Summer (Photo : IamNaZza) No summer trip to Korea would be complete without a visit to Nami Island. This picturesque island transforms into a verdant haven during the summer months, with lush greenery and peaceful scenery. The abundance of photo spots, from the iconic sequoia tree lane to charming gardens, makes it a paradise for capturing unforgettable memories. I went with my family and everyone loves this experience. Getting there from Seoul is a breeze thanks to the convenient public transportation system. If you're looking for a summer adventure that offers cultural immersion, outdoor exploration, and delicious indulgence in equal measure, pack your summer clothes and head to Korea! You won't be disappointed.
