Yi Sun-shin Park

Reviewed By kcwashington - Sacheon, South Korea

Due to construction, I had to take a long way around, but it was worth it. The park, dedicated to the revered warrior Yi Sun-shin, is gorgeous. The rolling green hills that look out onto the sea is lovely. Come for the huge statue of Sun-shin and stay for the visitas. You can even scramble down and walk along a little stretch of rocky beach. I suggest going in the spring or fall. I went in August and nearly got heatstroke!

Daraengi Village

Reviewed By miomina96 - Seoul, South Korea

I wonder about the famous Korean villages? Here's one of them! The village is near the town of Namhae, called Daraengi. And it is famous for its rice fields, many people know that rice here in Korea is eaten like bread? So rice is grown here for almost all of Korea. And what is very interesting, in the spring there is a festival of flowering rice Daraengi Rice Paddy! The festival offers many interesting programs that allow visitors to experience traditional Korean agriculture and explore the cultural and natural heritage of Darenga Village such as: field furrowing, Korean wrestling, rice planting, running with rice cushions and much more. And also we tried to build a cow and shepherd from paper, who work in the field. I think for children it will be very exciting.
