Most Koreans wake up early on New Year’s Day to watch the first sunrise of the year
I spent several years in Korea and never watched it
(Actually, I am too lazy, I have never watched the sunrise🙈)
This year, in order to add a sense of ritual to the ordinary life
So decided to go to see the first sunrise in 2023!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the first time when others counting down to 12 o’clock but I’m already sleeping<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I departed at around 6:40, I thought everyone would watch the sunrise and there would be a lot of traffic jams.
However, the traffic jam only started near the parking lot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started walking up at 7:07
Walking up the stairs, my legs were sore and feel endless walking
I want to say whether to look in the middle or not
But in the end, I still did not give up
Going to the top of the mountain (?) at Bajiao Pavilion actually took less than 8 minutes…lol
Luckily I didn’t give up haha<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were not many people at 7:15 and can also find a good position but after a few minutes, it becomes overcrowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunrise is expected to be 7:37
I was a little impatient at first
Because there are a few people in the front row who clearly can have a good view but still insist on standing on the bench so that people behind can’t see it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was performance too
Although I don’t know who they are, the audience still cheered and called them encore after they sang 3 songs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

at about 7:45
The host said that the sun has actually risen
Just because of the smog
That’s why everyone can’t see the sun<\/p>\n\n\n\n
