Shinsegae Yeoju Premium Outlet is one of the best places in Korea and Asia. It is always crowded on weekends with people trying to buy luxury goods, outdoor items, and sportswear at lower prices than the market price. If you make good use of the discount period, you can aim for a significant profit. Even if you don’t have anything to buy, there are frequent flea markets and events, and there is plenty of food, so it is a great place to visit.
It is not a densely packed space like a department store, but rather a wide area of low buildings. Since the distance is considerable, we recommend wearing sneakers rather than uncomfortable shoes and slippers.

Operating hours: Mon-Sun 10:30am ~ 09:00pm (including holidays)
If there is Namiseom in Gapyeong, there is Gangcheonseom in Yeoju. Of course, it is lacking in auxiliary facilities, but Gangcheonseom has its own charm. Gangcheonseom is 1.5 times the size of Namiseom, and is a famous backpacking mecca in Gyeonggi-do, visited by many campers. It is famous for its lush zelkova forest, magnolia and cherry blossoms that bloom in spring, and ginkgo tree paths in fall.
It is popular with cyclists and walkers because of its beautiful scenery and well-maintained flat roads. Many people bring their dogs because the lawn is wide. There is ample parking space and no admission fee, so many people visit on weekends. However, cooking is prohibited on Gangcheon Island in principle, so please be careful when camping. Also, there is only one restroom in the center of Gangcheon Island, which is inconvenient.
We recommend you to enjoy a cup of coffee while looking at the wide open natural scenery on Gangcheon Island, which is embraced by the Namhan River.
Address: 627 Gangcheon-ri, Gangcheon-myeon, Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do (Enter Gangcheon Island parking lot in your navigation)

It is a famous healing spot in Yeoju, and is often used as an auto camping site. Pensions and cabin rentals are also available. If you want to feel nature and do some quiet camping or lodging, this is recommended.
The birthplace of Empress Myeongseong is the house where Empress Myeongseong, wife of Emperor Gojong, was born and lived until she was 8 years old, and is designated as a Gyeonggi Intangible Cultural Property. I think everyone knows this, but it describes in detail everything from the process of her becoming Empress Myeongseong to the incident of her assassination. I recommend this to those who want to use the historically proven birthplace as well as the memorial hall as an opportunity to explore history with their children.
