Lucky that the taxi driver waited for us at Korea Naval Academy, else we might have problem to get a taxi back from there.
We asked him to drop us here because supposedly we wanted to take the Jinhae City Tour Bus from Stream.
Jehwangsan Park (제황산공원) Monorail Station.
Another option to go to the park which is climbing the stairs.
If our taxi driver didn't tell us that there are 365 steps flight of stairs, we might not know that it's endless stairs. Yes, just thinking of it is already causing me to sweat!!!
With the information, we didn't want to climb half way and
change our mind as it's about 90 m to the top of the mountain.

Ok, let's just take Monorail since it's just KRW 3,000 for round trip.
Wow... it's quite steep and kinda scary especially I'm facing down but
luckily it only took around 2 minutes to reach the summit!

First you'll notice when you reach the park is 9-storey Jinhae Tower.
This 28m tower looks like Korean Naval Warship was built in 1967
which symbolized Jinhae as Naval Port on the Southwest Coast of Korea.
Originally, the Japanese erected a monument in 1927 at this place to commemorate their victory in Rusia - Japan war. It was removed when Korea was liberated from Japanese colonial rule in 1945.

On the 1st and 2nd floor of the tower, you can find Jinhae City Museum,
exhibiting artifacts and cultural assets, relics excavated from Jinhae.
Photo on the left was Yeojwacheon Stream in 1930 before facelift.
And on the right is the current lively and populat tourist attraction
after the area was planted with cherry blossom trees.
The Tower also have the observation deck allowing you to have
360 degree of bird's eye view of downtown Jinhae.
Perfect pictureaque photo with sunray bathing the sea!

Can you see the rotary at the middle of the town?
We walked back from here to Yeojwacheon Stream.

It was the last day of Cherry Blossom Festival in 2018.
Annyeong my pretty cherry flowers~!^^
There are a lot of stalls selling food and other items
during the Gunhangje Festival.
Too spoilt with choices until we didn't know what to eat.
Booths providing Wheelchair and Baby Stroller,
sign language translation and tourist information
are scatter around! Excellent!
We had early dinner as we didn't have proper lunch.
Korean Fried Chiken (Original + Yangnyeom)
Supposed to be Chimaek (Chicken + Maekju), but we had soju instead.
곰배 (Gombae / Cheers)~!!!
After dinner, we strolled back to Yeojwacheon because it's never enough
seeing the flowing petals and another reason was it's illuminated at night~!
Must be very beautiful and romantic, right?
