This tour starts from Gwangju Metropolitan City.
Boseong is called the capital of green tea in Korea. The green tea plantations completely cover the entire hillsides and make a spectacular scenery. it is truly amazing to visit all year round. But there are a lot more to see and experience in Boseong. If you love nature and local culture, I’d like to take you to Haepyeong Lake Trail as well. While walking peacefully along the lakeside, you can enjoy the calmness of the lake and refresh yourself in the forest. We can hike up the cart trail in Mt. Obongsan near the lake which is the historical site for quarrying flat stones for Ondol. Let's make a wonderful day in Boseong!

Boseong is a county in South Jella Province which has the perfect climate and soil for growing green tea with a distinct taste and aroma. Among many tea farms in Boseong, "Daehan Dawon" is the iconic site of green tea plantation because of its huge size and magnificent view with rolling hillsides of green tea bushes. We will stroll along the paths to the top observatory while enjoying fresh air and a spectacular layered view. At the end of the walk, we will taste green tea ice cream! This place is green all year round.
< Lunch Time > We will have lunch in a local restaurant which is popular for its grilled pork patties with green tea powder. It is possible to change the menu to cockle bibimbap (another local specialty) or italian pasta for vegetarians.
