금빛노 을 A unique coffee shop with no staffs around in Busan Korea



Today's exploration is at 금빛노을. I googled what it means in English and it says A GOLDEN CROWN, but my Korean friend's translation was something like YOUR GOLDEN LIFE. Well! what ever it means, either both you've really gotta have a golden heart to enter this place. It is a place that requires honesty.

I think we came a bit early for the experience but I am glad because I will definitely be coming back here to experience each changes. Today's images are the face of the early spring. It is the transformation moment for the season. One of my favorite time of the year where I can experience that patience of waiting for the magical reborn of thy nature's Flora and Fauna.


  After 20 minutes of drive from expressway, We end up in this intersection. 


We just followed the navigation and yes this place is kind of hidden far from the city. 


We were escorted by these lovely and getting ready for a cherry blossom tunnel buds. This is what I am talking about, you've gotta see that magical moments to really appreciate it. During winter these trees would just look so dramatically old and dead bud as soon as early spring arrives, your mood just lifts ups by watching them turning into young and as fragile as babies sleeping. 


We finally arrived safely, and still you can see the remnant of the winter. Still a bit chilly so we found a lot cars by the parking lot but surprisingly we don't see people outside. They must have chosen to stay indoors. 


 The entrance fee is 5,000 won a bit less than 5.00 US dollars. And this is the most interesting part, as I mentioned earlier you've gotta be honest here because this place do not have any staffs watching around but there are cameras all over of course. We then drop 10,000 won on the box and enter because there were two of us. They have change fund ready by the way if you carry big bills with you.


The first to great us was this beautiful early bloomer apricot.


The main lobby of the coffee shop.


Hello there! This place is amazingly filled with wonderful stuffs that I love. 




   Oso osea yu! Anyeong hea sa yo! 
                                 My kind of landscape.
As soon as we entered the gate, as a first timer I was overwhelmed by the choices and size of the place. The place is huge and we couldn't make up our mind where to take a seat so we just toured around first.


We decided not to enter the main building and save it for our next visit.



There were about 4 or 5 green houses besides the main building where you can find the condiments stations. Each have a story to tell.


  Some of the green houses has guest on it so I did not take photos. This one is probably where the owner keeps her clay art collections. 
By the entrance we were greeted by this cute hand crafted thing.

You are welcome to leave notes to the owner I guess.

More cute stuffs.

The tea station. Those jars are filled with flower teas where you can pick a choice from. A bread toast is available as well, You are welcome to help yourself. All included in the 5,000 won you paid.


A coffee of your choice. Vending, Brewed or instant. And oh! I forgot to take picture of what is inside the refrigerator. Some assorted fruits that you can use. 






One of the gazebo has a varieties of potted cactus on display I didn't really take much photos but I am going back for more on this interesting coffee shop.
