Night View Spots in Jinju (진주 야경)

To be honest, Jinju is kind of a dark city at night unless it's the festival period. So it is hard to say that there's a stunning and wow night view here. But there are a few places local people (usually couples) visit to see the night view.

1. Mangjinsan(Mt.) Bongsudae(Beacon)

Shinan-dong area from the Mangjinsan(Mt.) Bongsudae(Beacon)

This place is in Manggyeong-dong area. If you're new to Jinju or just a visitor, it is a little hard to get there without a car. But you may be able to spot a tower-looking object lighted up on a mountain quite easily from everywhere in the downtown area. It's the lookout point of Mangjinsan Bongsudae. Though a few trees may obstruct your view, the place is pretty good to chill out with your significant others.  By the way, please don't judge the view by this picture. My terrible photography ruined the view actually. ^^;

• How to get there: The best way to get there is to drive or take a taxi. Some people ride a bike up to the top. If you dare to walk from around the Cheonsugyo(Brdg.), it will take you at least 30 minutes.

2. Seonhaksan(Mt.)

The top of Sunhaksan was recently renovated, so now you can catch a bird's eye view of the city very clearly. From the lookout spot, you can see the most parts of the city, and when the weather is good, you can even see the Mt. Jiri, which is the highest mountain in South Korea.

• How to get there: For this place, you have to hike a little bit. The shortest course to get there is to start from near Dong Bang Hotel. There you can find a sign guiding you to the top of the mountain.

3. Sky lounge of GNTech University

Except a number of apartments across the city, there are not many tall buildings which have a sky lounge. But if you go up to the highest floor of the Centennial Memorial Building of Gyeongnam Science and Technology (GNTech) University, you will encounter a restaurant on the one side and a cafe on the other side. The views from either side are great, but I prefer the cafe side because the houses and the lights along the river create a magnificent atmosphere at night. The food and coffee there? The food there is not recommended, and the coffee is so so I think.

• How to get there: If you drive, parking is not a problem. If you take a bus, you will get off right in front of the building, which is located by the main road.
