Well – he had giant ears that flopped and drooped like a donkey’s. However, according to Korean folklore, Kim Gyeongmun also had another major problem: he had donkey ears. King Gyeongmun ruled at a time of intense strife, famine, and rebellion and despite his best attempts to strengthen and unify the kingdom, he was unsuccessful. There was also this caricature statue of King Gyeongmun, the 48th king of Korea during the Silla Dynasty.
There were statues and other various structures lining each road my personal favorite statues were the panda statues located along Good Luck Road. I walked in a loop, going from the Old Friend’s Trail, through the Good Luck Road and Meditation Road to Lover’s Lane, all the way to the back before circling down to Philosopher’s Road and Scholar’s Road to the entrance. Juknokwon has 8 walking paths: Good Luck Road, Meditation Road, Lover’s Lane, Old Friend’s Trail, Old Memories Byway, Seonginsan Trail, Philosopher’s Road, and Scholar’s Road. Tickets for the Art Center cost an additional 1,000 won, but I don’t really think it’s a necessary visit. Teenagers and veterans can get in for 1,500 won and elementary school students for 1,000 won. I paid 3,000 won for the basic adult ticket which, in my opinion, is an absolute steal. The ticket booth for the Bamboo Forest is located at the top of the steps at the entrance. Once I got off the bus, I simply crossed the street and was there! This is to say, make sure you’re confident in where you’re going and if you’re told to get off early, don’t! You’ll know when you’ve arrived because the bus will stop directly in front of the Juknokwon entrance.

The driver either heard me wrong or didn’t listen properly because, despite me telling him that I was going to Juknokwon, he tried to tell me to get off at a different stop. The bus driver asked everyone getting on the bus what stop they were going to as to charge the right amount. From there, I boarded Bus 311 for Juknokwon (죽녹원). The bus stop was located right in front of Exit 2 on the left. There was then a walkway that led me across the station and down to Exit 2. To get to the bus stop, I went up the stairs located near the main entrance inside Gwangju Station to the 3rd floor. From there, I exited the station and headed to the bus stop. The ticket for the train was only 1,000 won. Gwangju Songjeong Station is conveniently both a subway station and a KTX station, which makes it easy to get around both Gwangju and the surrounding cities.įirst, I rode the Express Railroad shuttle train ( 통근 ) from Gwangju Songjeong Station to Gwangju Station. When I went to Damyang, I was staying in Gwangju near Gwangju Songjeong Station. By comparison, from Gwangju it’s only two hours by bus. To get to Damyang from Seoul Station or Busan Station, it takes about four to five hours by train or bus. So, without further ado, here’s a guide on everything I did in Damyang for one day!īy far the best way to get to Juknokwon is from Gwangju. Juknokwon is a truly amazing experience that everyone should experience at some point while in South Korea. With its various winding trails enclosed by endless thickets of towering green bamboo, Juknokwon isolates you in a place of serenity detached from the outside world. That place is Juknokwon Bamboo Forest in Damyang. However, there is one place in Korea that has a beautiful and visually magnificent forest year-round.
Still, the sights aren’t always great as many of the plants and flowers are still bare, evidence of the still dwindling winter.

The vast, taut, springy flooring doesn't end at the walls, but instead, the trampolines continue upward to form angles perfect for crawling up, springing off, or sliding down. Inside each Sky Zone location, a wall-to-wall half-pipe made entirely of trampolines gives children and adults a venue where they can safely hop, bounce, and somersault to their hearts' content.
