Damyang-gun Travel Guide

1. Damyang-gun is a place where the natural environment and traditional culture are well-preserved. It is people-oriented and pursues sustainable development. This slow-paced lifestyle has made Damyang-gun the first "slow city" in Asia to be officially designated by the International Slow City Alliance. Damyang-gun is famous for its bamboo and has the world's largest bamboo museum. 2. Today, I would like to introduce you to one of the ten scenic spots in Damyang-gun related to bamboo, the Juknokwon Bamboo Garden. Not only have popular variety shows such as "Two Days and One Night" and the movie "R Point" been filmed here, but former President Roh Moo-hyun and current President Moon Jae-in have also visited this place. 3. Juknokwon Bamboo Garden has eight walking paths, including "Eternal Love," "Memory Path," and "Philosopher's Road." Stroll through the bamboo forest and see the "bamboo growing in the wild, with clouds towering over the sky." The warm afternoon sun shines through the gaps in the bamboo leaves and falls on the ground. Listen to the rustling of the bamboo leaves and the gurgling of the water. Such a poetic scene is truly delightful! 4. From the observation deck, you can enjoy a distant view of the beautiful scenery of Damyangcheon, Gwanbangjerim Forest, and Metasequoia Road. In addition, there are ecological exhibition halls, Lee Inam Art Center, and Hanok buildings in the Juknokwon Bamboo Garden that you can visit. If you are tired of walking, there are cafes and entertainment rest areas where you can take a break. All are excellent choices.
