" Samjinae Village" in Damyang, Jeollanamdo

The impression of Damyang to many people is the bamboo garden. However, one should also visit the Samjinae Village! Known as the "slow city", it is a great place to get away from all the stress and bustling city life.

The first activities I did was to make a honey candle

The whole process was relatively easy as all you need to do is to dip it for 10times. However, do remember that you are in Asia's first slow city! Hence, you have to do it SLOWLY.

This is also a great way to test your patience!

If you are thinking of doing any shortcut, such as dipping it longer, my advice is to not do it because you will definitely regret!

Besides that, there are many recreational activities provided. Such as Korean traditional activities and bicycles for free.

Korean Buffet Lunch was provided!

We had an enjoyable experience making the famous rice taffy(엿yeot) in Samjinae village.

We used all strength to pull it and it turned from brown to white.

A very delicious candy that you should try while you are in Korea.

Later on, we had a night walk around the village, which I highly recommend you guys to go during the day. As according to the guide, the view is better and you might be able to drop by certain house that provides experience to visitors. Also, there are several guesthouse in the village!

Dinner was scrumptious!

After dinner, we made our own mini album!

This is my first mini album! All you need to do is glue two small rectangular cardboard with Korean traditional paper (choose your favourite design) and paste on the front and back.
After doing so, paste your photo and write down your message.

This marks the end of my day 1, and I really love the mini album! Turning this amazing experience into a tangible one!
