Chrysanthemum Festival 2014

The 11th Dream Park Chrysanthemum Festival 2014 is the largest Chrysanthemum show in Korea. Various chrysanthemum and cosmos flowers spread over at this large garden. The festival started on Sept. 20th until 5th of October, conveniently coinciding with the conclusion of the Asian Games on the 4th. The location is also very strategic, as Dream Park is the venue for Water Polo, Equestrian events, the Modern Pentathlon, and it is also the Fencing training center. Do have a walk in this beautiful garden while you watching the 2014 Incheon Asian Games here.

Customer from Shen Zhen, China

Mr. Liew likes historical stuff. As a matter of fact, we brought him and family to visit some museums and palace. Here was the itinerary: Gyeongbok Palace - National Palace Museum of Korea - Cheongwadae Sarangchae- The War Memorial of Korea - Yeoido Han River Park. 

Our first station was Gyeongbok Palace. Here are some of the photos in Gyeongbok Palace. Mr. Liew believed that there must be a mountain and water source nearby the palace based on the basic fengshui rules. When he saw the mountain nearby the palace, he was so exciting to look for the water source. And there is a lake inside the palace. Absolutely match the fengshui of Chinese culture. 









Next, we moved to National Palace Museum of Korea. We saw a large collection of art and objects from the palaces of Joseon, representing the majesty and dignity of the 500-year history of the Joseon dynasty. In fact, the museum provides access to free guided tours in English, Korean, Chinese and Japanese. English tour starts at 11:00 and 14:30; Chinese tour starts at 10:30 and 14:00; Japanese tour starts at 10:00 and 13:30; while Korean tour starts at 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00 and 16:00. 





Coming up next is Cheongwadae Sarangchae. History of previous presidents of Korea are well display here, Besides, if you would like to visit the Presidential Blue House, you can apply at 20 days in advance. 








To fulfill the wish of his son, we went to The War Memorial of Korea. The son was so excited when he saw all the arms and equipment. 







Lastly, we stopped at the Yeoido Han River Park to see the 63 stories building. And the little son was so happy to see the fountain and water. LOL...
