Hi everyone~ Right now, I'm in Damyang, Jeollabuk-do. It's been raining a lot lately, so I was looking for places to go when it rains, and I saw that Juknokwon (Bamboo Forest) is supposed to be pretty even in the rain.

So I came to Damyang to visit Juknokwon. Luckily today, it's not raining right now.

When you think of Damyang, you think of Juknokwon, bamboo tube rice, and of course, Tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patties)!

So for lunch, Growwwl~ My stomach's growling because I'm hungry.

So for lunch, I'm going to go eat Tteokgalbi.

(Can't help but hum because I'm so excited for Tteokgalbi) A place where you can order Tteokgalbi and bamboo rice just for one person.

I ordered a combo of beef and pork Tteokgalbi.

The table is full of Tteokgalbi and bamboo rice. Let's open up this bamboo tube rice.

They light up solid fuel so the Tteokgalbi stays warm. The bamboo rice is full of various grains. This bamboo aroma really goes well with the sticky rice.

Even the soup is seasoned just right and tastes great. Cutting up the beef Tteokgalbi. A spoonful of bamboo rice, and a bite of beef Tteokgalbi.

😋😋😋 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The rice is so delicious, I feel like I could easily finish a bowl with just the rice and soup.

And for the side dishes... is that marinated crab?!

I think I need to order another bowl of rice. The eggplant tangsuyuk was so tasty. Now it's time to try the pork Tteokgalbi.

The pork Tteokgalbi is packed with juice and just melts in your mouth. All the side dishes taste great too.

The food is really good and everything's super clean. The staff was so nice and it was honestly a really satisfying lunch.

They even make their own sujeonggwa (cinnamon punch)..👍🏻 I saw that there's a noodle street along the river, so I took a walk there.

If the weather’s nice, it’d be perfect to slurp noodles at those picnic tables. Saw a sign that said 'Do you like vintage?' so I headed down this alley.

It's a vintage clothing shop that's really spacious and organized. Started an unexpected shopping trip.

The vibe is so nice and there are lots of cute clothes. If you like vintage, you should definitely check it out.

Picked up a cute knit t-shirt I liked. When I came out from shopping, the sky had cleared up. Now, I'm heading into Juknokwon.

Paid the 3,000 won entrance fee and went in. The bamboo forest is packed in from the entrance. There's a building with restrooms, a snack bar, an observatory, and more.

Lots of people were sitting and relaxing with bamboo leaf ice cream. There's also an exhibition space inside.

Heading back into the bamboo forest~ I love the sound of the bamboo swaying in the cool breeze. Juknokwon... About 10 years ago, I remember coming here just briefly.

Now that I'm older, I appreciate it even more. 🎋 Everything's great here, except for the mosquitoes.

I think I've gotten bitten about three times now. The 'Adidas' forest mosquitoes here are no joke.

If you stand still, mosquitoes bite you, but if you keep walking, they don't, so I'm just walking nonstop, lol.

Path of Reflection vs. Lucky Path - Which would you choose? Please bring me some good luck! Charging up with some tree energy.

Once again, I dream of winning the lotto... that I never buy... ⭐️ There are so many themed trails in Juknokwon; it's fun to go find them all.

Juknokwon is beautiful all year round. I wonder what the bamboo forest looks like in the snow during winter.

After walking all the way around Juknokwon, I'm headed out the exit. There's even a crafts exhibition hall and experience center.

There were a bunch of shops lined up near the exit alley. Maybe because it's a weekday evening, it was pretty quiet.

But I bet it'll be packed with tourists on the weekend. Now I'm going to walk through Gwanbangjerim on the other side of Juknokwon.

I heard the fall foliage in Gwanbangjerim is gorgeous. Looks like the leaves haven't turned yet though.

Come around November to see the fall foliage, grab some noodles on Noodle Street, visit Juknokwon, and finish off with Tteokgalbi for dinner—sounds perfect!

Before heading home, I stopped by a cafe for some tea. It's such a peaceful cafe. I ordered handmade peach jelly and some lemon tea.

Ta-da~ It's that season when you crave something warm to drink. I'm curious about the peach jelly.

The jelly has a fresh peach aroma. Rubbing my mosquito-bitten ankles as I wrap up my Damyang trip. This fall has been so rainy, it's kinda weird.

Feels like it's just going to suddenly turn into winter any day now. If you're wondering where to go for an outing, How about Damyang's beautiful Juknokwon, gorgeous in every season?

Take care not to catch a cold with the changing seasons, And see you again in the next video! @ssoyonging Bye!
