[Travel in March 2024]
Since our visit to Yongma Falls Park (용마폭포공원) didn’t quite go as planned (hello, dry waterfall vibes 😅), I wasn’t ready to give up on chasing waterfalls just yet! We made a spontaneous detour to Pokpo Café — a super cute spot where the main highlight isn’t just the coffee, but the actual waterfall right beside it!
Yes, you heard me right.
A café with a waterfall view. Talk about aesthetic goals!
It felt a little bit like we were squeezing in one last adventure before flying off — rushing, but in a “let’s just do it anyway” kind of way.
Sometimes, the best moments happen in between the tight schedules, and this quick stop definitely made up for our earlier letdown. 🥰

HELLOSIHUI’S THOUGHTS:
The view was honestly pretty nice — peaceful, calming, and a little hidden gem feel. But I’ve got to say, the area is super quiet and there’s not much else around, so it’s definitely more of a purpose trip kind of place. That said, if you’re someone who loves slow mornings or winding down with a book, this would be such a relaxing spot to do just that… provided you actually read, unlike me 😂
Still, I think the little detour was worth it, especially when squeezed in between our slightly rushed schedule and our flight later. Sometimes, the in-between moments are the ones that stay with you the most. 🫶
