Yeongdong Bidangang Forest Village

Yeongdong Bidangang Forest Village is a pure farming village which was at the historical border between the Silla and Baekje kingdoms. Also located nearby is Yeongguksa Temple, where King Gongmin escaped from the Red Turban troops during the Goryeo period.



Created by the Geumgang River that flows like silk around Bonghwasan Mountain, the village is surrounded by breathtaking scenery, keeping Mother Nature clean so organisms including marsh snails and mandarin fish can live.



In the village, plenty of hands-on activities such as catching snails in the crystalline water like a treasure hunter and riding a tandem
bike are available to make a valuable memory. Not only these activities, visitors can also take a rest within the ambience of Bidangang River and pick sweet potatoes and grapes, giving the pleasure of harvesting. Other programs including making a wooden doorplate, wine foot-bathing, flying a pungdeung (lantern), and herb soap-making are offered.
