I booked myself on the Damyang tour to tick the Juknokwon bamboo forest off my bucket list, but our guide Veronica is an astute listener and she intuited that having visited Damyang a couple of times in previous years I might benefit from a slightly altered itinerary – so she combined elements of her Gwangju city tour (focusing on 5.18 but with a very welcome visit to an exhibition at the Asia Culture Center) with edited highlights of her Damyang tour. It all worked perfectly, though undoubtedly we were blessed with good fortune along the way, like seeing the Gwangju Mayor celebrating the presidential election result in the main square, and meeting the owner of the Soswaewon garden in Damyang. At the end of the day, Veronica dropped me off at the station in plenty of time for me to catch the KTX back to Seoul. The restaurant recommendation (tteokgalbi) for lunch was excellent. I'll definitely be back to try one of her other tours.
Go to the Bamboo Forest!

Fantastic tour! Veronica was a superb tour guide. The tour experience was like visiting a friend and touring their hometown. It was splendid. I never knew a bamboo forest could be so interesting. Veronica shared about the historical and economic impact on the region over the years to present, the connections with the region’s communities and even some folk tales. We sampled tea made from bamboo, learned about the different species of bamboo, and visited a museum that exhibited art and vintage products made from bamboo. Amazing! Veronica took us to a restaurant that served a delicious meal. The table was full of a variety of dishes to sample. We tried everything. The rice was steamed and served in bamboo. What a unique experience!
