I had an amazing time on my 2 day 1 night trip to Damyang (located in Jeollanam-do) last weekend (Oct 5-6). I visited some incredible spots and I can't wait to share them with you! 1. Nature: Damyang is the perfect place to immerse yourself in nature, especially in autumn! One of the highlights is the Metasequoia trees, and trust me, they're everywhere! It’s the ideal spot to capture beautiful autumn photos you’ll want to keep forever. Another must-visit is Juknokwon, the famous bamboo forest. The entrance fee is only 3,000 won, and you get to explore a massive forest. It’s a great place to snap some stunning pictures. Lastly, I recommend checking out Damyang Gwanbangjerim Forest, which is conveniently close to Juknokwon—perfect for visiting both in one go. 2. Experience: Want to get European vibes without leaving Korea? Right next to the Metasequoia-lined Road, you'll find Meta Provence, a charming spot that feels like a slice of Europe. With plenty of cafes and restaurants, it's the perfect place to wander around, take some photos, and then relax with a drink or a meal. 3. Food: There are three things you MUST try in Damyang: Tteokgalbi (떡갈비), Noodles (국수), and Bamboo Leaf Ice Cream (댓잎 아이스크림). Trust me, you won’t be disappointed! For noodles, head to Noodles Road (담양 국수거리), located near Damyang Gwanbangjerim. It’s the perfect way to wrap up your trip, enjoying a delicious bowl of noodles while soaking in the natural surroundings. Hope that everyone will have a delighted trip to Damyang - my new favourite travel spot in South Korea! ♡♡♡
If you choose the bus as your transportation and you depart from Seoul, it will take almost 4 hours to reach Damyang. So prepare yourself some snacks/books,... anything to feel less bored on the way! It's also better to reserve the accommodation in advance, choose a place that is near to the attractions that you're planning to visit so that you can enjoy the most of your trip! *I listed the cost for just one person. I went with a friend, so the amount I mentioned is the split cost. The transportation alone was 61,000 won per person, so I think the total for the trip is really reasonable!
