Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch
Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do
Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch is a privately owned ranch on an area of 195 k㎡. There are many ranches in Pyeongchang, but Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch is the only ranch that raises sheep. The sheep grazing field is surrounded by a 1.2 meter-long circular walkway, so visitors can view the sheep at all times during their visit. It takes about 40 minutes to walk along this path. A wooden shack located in the field appeared as a backdrop of the movie "The Man from Mars." The wooden shack fits perfectly with the sheep farm, and has become a popular photo site. To get a closer experience with the sheep, sign up for the feeding experience, where you can give hay to the sheep and even reach out to touch their fuzzy heads.

Jeongseon Fifth-day Market

Jeongseon Fifth-day Market is a representative traditional market in Korea. Opening on dates ending in a 2 or 7, the marketplace is crowded with both locals and visitors alike. The local vendors sell produce and other agricultural products and manufactured goods. While the market was very active during the peak of the coal mining industry, the market faced a sharp decline after its end. However, in 1999, a special tourist train, the current A-Train, begin operating, taking tourists from Seoul to the market. Thanks to this, the market is thriving. Also called the Jeongseon Arirang Market, visitors can enjoy performances of this intangible cultural heritage as well as taste the local foods. While the market is open every day, it is most active on days of the fifth-day market, and on Saturdays.

Damyang Metasequoia-lined
Road
Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do
Damyang Metasequoia-lined Road is one of Korea's most beautiful paths. Metasequoia trees were planted along the street in the early 1970s by the Ministry of Internal Affairs after National Road 24 was rebuilt. At that time, the saplings were only 3 to 4 years old and their branches stretched sparsely out into the sky; now, the trees have grown so high that they seem to block out the sun. Thanks to these stately trees, in 2002 the Korea Forest Service selected the boulevard as one of the most beautiful roads in Korea. The 8.5-kilometer-long boulevard is one of the most popular driving routes in Korea, especially during summer when the trees’ lush green leaves are at the height of their beauty.
