Summer refers to the second season, when a year is divided into four seasons, which is equivalent to June, July and August by meteorology. The summer in Korea is largely influenced by seasonal winds from the south, resulting in a high temperature and humid climate.

The 2018 summer in South Korea was a war against the heat. Last year, the summer of South Korea continued to heat up, with the word "Seoul+Africa" followed by "Daefrika" (Daegu+Africa), which refers to the region where the temperature was highest. The hottest summer in 111 years of weather observation continued, with temperatures rising to 39 ℃ in Seoul and 41 ℃ in Hongcheon.

So, what can you do to overcome this summer heat? We recommend two methods. First, if you eat foods for summer, you can enjoy summer. For example, the most popular food is Sam-Gye-Tang. Sam-Gye-Tang is a traditional Korean food that is eaten by mixing ginseng with chicken for summer. Other summer foods include cold noodles with cold soup and bean noodles. Because in summer we sweat out most of our moisture, Korean ancestors thought that eating meat rather than vegetables or fish would look after their bodies. In addition, we can survive the summer by eating watermelon, peach and grapes, which are fruits of the summer season.

The second advice is to go on a trip. In the summer vacation season, tourist attractions are full of people. One way is to overcome the heat by playing in the water in the cool sea or valley. Above all, we recommend Seon-Yu-Do the most.

Seon-Yu-Do is a famous summer tourist destination in Gunsan. Seon-Yu-Do is the most popular summer resort on the west coast. Seon-Yu-Do is a representative island of Jeollabukdo and the West Sea. Tourists flock to the area, especially during the peak summer season because it has wide soft sand as well as extreme leisure experiences, such as the 700-meter-long and 45-meter-high skyline on the sea and bike hiking. Especially, bike hiking is favored by many tourists who ride bicycles to see the beautiful scenery all over the island.

The hot summer make us go indoors and relax under the air conditioner. But we recommend having a different experience in a cool natural environment. We hope you have healthy food, and visiting a variety of tourist destinations this summer vacation will be rewarding.
