| There are many water lilies at the park |
 |
| There are many photographers too |
 |
| But this one is probably the most dedicated photographer that day |
 |
| Prickly water lily |
 |
| The fountain looks like it shot out that cloud |
 |
| Unfortunately for us, there are only a few lotus flowers left. |
If you come in July during the lotus festival season, this place would look absolutely amazing. More info about that festival here.

Korean Travel Online - Buyeo Trip Part 2: Buso Mountain Fortress (Busosanseong)
After Baekje Cultural Land, we headed to Buso Mountain Fortress (Busosanseong). As it was lunchtime, we went to get lunch first at a restaurant just across the street from the entrance of Busosanseong.
More info and how to get to Busosanseong on this page.
The restaurant is called 백제의집, or Baekje House. We were really excited about the 연잎밥, or lotus leaf rice. We thought of ordering that, but thought we might end up wanting more if we order just that. So we went for the 연잎우렁쌈밥/ YeonipUreongSsambap. This ssambap (rice wraps) dish comes with the ureong (freshwater snail in doenjang), the lotus leaf rice, and plenty of leafy greens to wrap some rice and ureong in it. This meal is so good that I'd be happy to call it a day and head back to Seoul even it means I don't get to see Buyeo's other sites anymore.
Apparently, the restaurant also has a sense of humor.
Here we are at entrance to Busosanseong
Before you start the walking path, you can stop by Samchungsa first.
Here is where we realized we probably shouldn't have eaten too much.
Yeongilru Pavilion (영일루), as the Chinese characters suggests, this was a popular place for greeting the rising sun back in the day.
From the pavilion, you can see the river below. You can also take a cruise on that Baekje-style boat.
Lastly, make your way down many, many steps to see Goransa Temple.
