Rent a cabin or pitch a tent at Jungdo Island. A ferry will deliver you to the island. You can hike, bike or ride four wheelers. Ancient Korean huts are located on the island as well as magnificent wildlife. Take a boat tour of Soyang Dam and see a Buddhist temple. Stop and sample the food along the docks; lake shellfish, pancakes or fried grasshoppers are popular items. Take a hike up Bong Ui Mountain. Trails lead to the top from all sides. At 240 feet tall, it’s not a huge mountain but it makes for a good hike. Rent a paddle boat and travel across the river Soyang. See Statue Park with marble statues and a replica of an ancient water clock. The Ethiopian war memorial is also a popular destination as is Cheongpyong Temple.
