What to eat

Juksun yeonggye-tang — young chicken simmered with bamboo shoots₩18,000

The 죽순영계탕 row on Naver Place — the dish the citation names by name. The same list gives 달빛정식 at 32,000 won.

Gwanbangjerim in Damyang seen from above: the Damyangcheon stream on the left, the embankment road running beside it, and the old broadleaf grove standing along the top of the bank

Gwanbangjerim

It is free, it has no gate and no hours, and it starts at the bridge in front of Juknokwon — which is why it is the piece of the walk most people cross without noticing they are on it.

Juknokwon

The bamboo is the reason to come, but the thing that shapes a day here is that the grove, the embankment forest and the tree lane sit within a couple of kilometres of one another, and the county files that walk under a menu nobody opens.

Damyang Metasequoia Lane

You pay 2,000 won and get 2,000 won back — in vouchers you can only spend in Damyang. It is not the free country road most guides describe, and it is not quite a paid attraction either.
