This dense bamboo thicket is located in Damyang, an-other "slow city" that welcomes all who are tired of hec-tic city life. 

Eight trails around the thicket offer eight different themes to saunter through. 

If you look carefully between the bamboo plants, you can spot the green tea shoots that grow from the dew that drips off the bamboo leaves, known as Jukro tea.

Jeungdo Salt Farm

This treasure island (artifacts from the Song Dynasty have actually been found at the bot-tom of the sea) is famous for its clear seawa-ter, soft beach, and salt farms.

The magical sight of huge salt farms is not the only spectacle that can be found here; the mud flat leisure town allows tourists to expe-rience and observe the marine life of the mud flat.

BibimbapBibimbap, a bowl of rice mixed with meat and assorted vegetables, is one of the all time fa-vorite meals of the Korean people, regardless of age or generation.

Its popularity has also grown internationally.

Even some Hollywood celebrities have praised its nutritional value and talked about how it has helped them maintain a healthy diet.

Dating to the Shilla Dynasty (approxi-mately 2,000 years ago), kimchi is the beloved spicy sidekick at every Korean table.

It's made by salting and preserving fermented cabbage in a bed of pepper, garlic, ginger and scallion.

SamgyeopsalThe best part of eating in a samgyeopsal restaurant is the atmosphere -- a rollicking party punctuated by soju shots, pork strips sizzling on a grill and shouts for “one more serving, please!” 

Served with lettuce, perilla leaves, sliced onions and raw garlic kimchi, it's smudged in ssamjang (a mix of soybean paste called 'doenjang' and chili paste called 'gochujang') or salt and pepper in sesame oil.

JjajangmyeonAlthough originally a Chinese dish, Koreans have taken the noodles and created a thicker, yummier version that holds only a vague resemblance to its Chinese prede-cessor. (Think of New Yorkers and the won-ders they’ve done with pizza.)

It would not be an understatement to say Korean diets would not be the same without this dish -- most Koreans eat it at least once a week, and have their favorite jja-jangmyeon delivery shop on speed dial.

TteokbokkiThis iconic red-orange street food is so popular there’s an entire town in Seoul just devoted to the steamed and sliced rice cakes (tteok), cooked with fish cakes (oden) and scallions in a sweet and spicy sauce made of chili paste.   Chefs have been known to put all sorts of things inside the sauce, from the black soy-bean paste to plain old ketchup. Call us masochists, but one thing is certain: the more pepper, the better.

Lodging Looking for a place to lodge in Korea

can be confusing – sauna, hanok guesthouse, hotel and resort are just a few of the commonly used terms for different types of hotels in South Korea and all mean something a little different.

Lodging

A sauna, or jimjilbang, has a steaming circle symbol on the outside of the building. 

They’re the cheapest kind of accommoda-tion option, (about 7,000-10,000 won) and are open 24 hours. 

You will be given a pair of shorts and t shirt and sleep on the ground in a shared sleep-ing area. 

They’re also popular with older Koreans be-cause of the warm floor and include access to hot baths and saunas that adjoin the rooms.
