As autumn paints Korea in calmer hues, Damyang County in South Jeolla province and nearby Namwon City have emerged as perfect destinations for those seeking a peaceful retreat.
With their blend of forests, historic sites and a variety of cultural offerings, these hidden gems invite visitors to explore the quieter – yet equally captivating – side of the country’s beauty.
They are being promoted under Local 100, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s campaign to highlight Korea’s lesser-known cultural and natural gems outside Seoul.
Damyang’s “Three Great Forests” – the Metasequoia-lined Road, the Gwanbangjerim Forest and the famous bamboo grove at Juknokwon – represent some of the region’s most stunning yet internationally lesser-known sites.
