Tour of Iksan and Local Bibimbap(Mixed Rice)

in #food7 years ago

Iksan is famous city for its historical heritage.
It is believed once a capital of Baekje dynasty but not confirmed. There is a place of the Palace.
My mom and I took a tour to Iksan city.

I ‘d like to see Buddhist Pagoda which was well known for Mi Reuk Sa(Future Buddha Temple) 9 stone story pagoda designated as Historical Heritage of the mankind.

My mom was pleased. It was first time for her to visit the Mi Reuk Sa.

Unfortunately, there is nothing left except the Pagoda in Mi Reuk Sa. Even more, no one could see the Pagoda, because there have been undergoing overall repair and rearrangement.

The first shape was looked like as below (model)

When dynasty collapsed, everything having relation with the dynasty was wrecked together

Now the rebuilding process is undergoing, so we can’t see the pagoda.

Scholars estimated the very first shape like this.
They had built the exact same model.
It was a huge pagoda.
It is amazing that this pagoda was built more than 1600 years ago.

Look!
How big a pagoda comparing to people who is standing beside of the pagoda.

I took a photo for my mom

There were many stones which were found in this area. These stones might be the parts of the original pagoda.

They found many substances inside of the pagoda during taking the pagoda into pieces to rebuilt.

The best course of a trip must be a nice cousine.
The most famous food was the Bibimbop.
The bibimbop in this area is different from others.
They use raw meat for the bibimbop.

This is a blood stew.
Have you ever taken befor ?

It tastes very good.
I promise you will like it.

As always my mom like today’s tour.

Let me tour with you virtually @slowwalker

Thanks dear, I loved this post and got a motivation to share similar structures in my area. Take care

Thank you. With great interest I read the post. Liked. I am interested in art. Like The Pagoda.
Iksan is a beautiful city. Nice photos!

But such like?

amazing
thank you

Pagodas are mysterious. I remember being fascinated by them as a child.

This one is in ruins - perhaps the result of a lightning strike, @slowwalker.

Those relics are precious - this pagoda probably housed many sacred objects and writings.

The smile on your mother's face at the end sums up the blissful mode of this photo essay - lovely food, beautiful photos and another joyful memory.

Good work, @slowwalker!

The beauty of past destinies, love the original Mi Reuk Sa Pagoda.

They look very elegant, these pagodas!

The rectangular green plate, is that glass?

Such beautiful pictures of the pagoda and what a lovely mother! Haven't seen bibimbop like that, how tasty was it?

Just excellent

Blood stew is the best. But I can't take more than one block each time. Feel my cholestrol go up through the roof!

Hahaha😁

looks like a very cool piece of architecture! and that foood! WOW

Great tour! Civilizations come and go, and it's always fun to learn more about those that have passed.

Now the rebuilding process is undergoing, so we can’t see the pagoda.

Too bad I couldn't see that, I would have loved to. Interesting meals you had there... Thanks for sharing!!

@imwatsi ~ I write poems


Wow, great post. I enjoyed seeing pictures of your tour. I don't think I have ever had a bibimbop that used raw meat. All the ones I tried had grilled or sautéed beef.

nice food...

익산 놀러가고 싶네요

미륵사보다 비빔밥이 더 기억에 남습니다. ^^
좋은 글 감사합니다.

감사합니다

육회비빔밥!! 저녁 먹었는데도 또 먹고 싶네요ㅎㅎ

I am glad you enjoy my photos

@slowwalker
You always find the most interesting places to visit. It wasn't different this time.
The photos are superb.

Amazing. That tower is an amazing structure. How often do we see anything like this in our world? Answer. Very rarely.
You said we would like the food. Well, maybe. I am not sure I have a taste for raw meat. I will just have to take your word for it.

Your mother seems so pleased with the day's trip.
Thank you for giving her a life of enjoyment in her latter years. We all need for life to be satisfying, regardless of age. And your mother isn't any different in that regard.
Thank you again

Francis
