Damyang

담양







A lush bamboo forest on top of a small hill. To tour the whole forest leisurely only takes about 1 1/2 hours. You'll end up with so many photos of bamboo you won't know which to choose to post. Like many beautiful places in S. Korea, it is filled with many people- the kind of people you want to claw your eyes out and make you thankful you don't have children at this moment in your life. We managed to find the smaller paths which were less occupied and enjoyed the peaceful sounds of the bamboo swaying.

The souvenir shops just outside sell some things made of bamboo, but it's basically all junk you don't need. There is bamboo flavored ice cream, which was anticlimactic since the flavor was so mild you could barely tell there was a flavor. However, it is colored bright green, if you like food coloring.
