Buyeo County, the ancient capital of the Baekje Dynasty where history, culture, nature, and hands-on experiences come together, is emerging as a "hot place" among domestic travelers these days.

In particular, two unique activities available only in Buyeo?the amphibious bus and hot air balloon free flight?are gaining significant popularity.

The amphibious bus is a one-of-a-kind mode of transportation, operated exclusively in Buyeo. Departing from the Baekje Cultural Complex, the bus travels along the roads near Cheonjeongdae, arrives at Baekmagang Leisure Park, and then enters the river to begin its water journey.

During the ride, tourists can enjoy sweeping views of Baekje heritage sites such as Nakhwaam, Goransa, Cheonjeongdae, and Busosanseong, all while gliding across the water.

In addition, a professional guide provides historical commentary, adding an educational aspect that makes this activity especially popular with families.

Alongside the amphibious bus, another popular experience for visitors to Buyeo is the hot air balloon free flight.

Buyeo is the only place in Korea where you can enjoy a free flight in a hot air balloon, offering a unique opportunity to soar over the city and along the Baekmagang River for about an hour.

This hot air balloon experience goes beyond a simple ride; participants can follow the flight path themselves and take in breathtaking views of the sunrise, a sea of clouds, and Buyeo's wide-open natural scenery. It is especially popular among couples seeking a romantic atmosphere and those planning special events.

These two activities further enhance Buyeo's appeal as a tourist destination and have already gained widespread word-of-mouth popularity. Due to high demand, advance reservations are essential. Same-day bookings may be difficult to secure on-site, so it is advisable to plan your schedule ahead of time.

Buyeo offers the chance to experience the Baekje Dynasty firsthand and enjoy unforgettable thrills both in the sky and on the water. If you are looking for unique experiences available only in Buyeo, why not plan a trip there this weekend?
