Highly recommended trip - This tour starts from the Temple of the Thunder Island, the temple itself is quiet and surrounded by nature. Walk between wooden buildings, can feel the breath of the years, very suitable to slow down the pace, calm the mood. After lunch, although it is a simple Korean cuisine, the taste is simple and the portions are good, especially after walking around the temple, the combination of hot soup and snacks makes you feel especially warm. Afternoon Purple Crystal Cave Park impressed me very much! The lights in the cave and the crystal reflection intertwined into a fantastic view, the cool temperature also makes you feel comfortable, is a place with both sightseeing and visual enjoyment. Finally, visit the colourful culture village of Gangawa, where the wall paintings, decorative arts and the sloping streets make it impossible to take photos. There are different stories in each corner, and you can also feel the unique atmosphere of coexistence between local residents and art. The whole tour is diverse and abundant, from nature, culture to art experience all at once, highly recommended for travelers who like to take photos, go and stroll, enjoy different atmospheres!

Comfortable travel - Because only four of us just attended, so we sent a car with 9 seats, very comfortable, and Erica's guide was good, and once in the car gave us warm bags and a small taste, thank you!
