Gwanbangjerim
관방제림

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.

A regional-cuisine house on the hanok street of Dongmyeong-dong. Its Century Shop citation records that it began as a tea house in a restored ninety-year-old hanok and now serves regional dishes and traditional liquor.
