5.00Our one-day tour from Seoul to Gimpo and Ganghwa was an unforgettable experience! We started at Aegibong Peace Ecopark, where we enjoyed panoramic views of the Han River estuary and felt the peaceful atmosphere near the border. Then we visited Ganghwa Pungmul Market — such a lively spot filled with local foods and friendly vendors. Next, we explored Jeondeungsa Temple, a stunning historic site surrounded by beautiful nature and quiet trails. Finally, we ended our day at Joyang Textile Café, a unique and artistic space that perfectly blended vintage charm with modern design. Everything was well organized, comfortable, and full of interesting stories. Special thanks to our guide, Mr. Lee, who made the entire trip meaningful. His warm personality, deep knowledge of history and culture, and great sense of humor brought each destination to life. We truly appreciate his care and enthusiasm throughout the day. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a refreshing cultural getaway from Seoul!
