◆ Review
During this course, we began our walk by practicing clean recycling with the people we met at the starting point.
Entering the tunnel at the Seongan Old Road Art Museum, we experienced a deep cultural sentiment through various art exhibitions.
While walking for two hours, we immersed ourselves in nature, history, and culture, losing track of time, but the return left us with a sense of longing.
This is an optimal course for enjoying nature and culture while taking breaks along the way.
