Boseong Tour : Green Tea Farm & Lake Trail (Private)

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. For vegetarians, set meal with steamed rice wrapped in a lotus leaf is available.

Korea tea museum was established to introduce the Korean tea culture and history in 2010. Visitors can view the whole process from cultivation to production of tea with graphic panels, images, and dioramas. There is a tea ceremony room, so we can learn how to prepare and drink tea in Korea through educational and hands-on experience.

There are many tea farms in Boseong, and one of them has a wonderful view point with a lake and green tea plantation. We will stop here for enjoying the view and having some rest.

< Haepyeong Lake Trail >
It is a hidden gem in Boseong. Around the lake, there is an easy 3.9km(2.4mile) trail with stone towers, cedar trees, bamboo trees, maple trees, cherry blossoms and more. Amid the trail, it is connected to a vinegar park which produces naturally fermented grain vinegar. It has a beautifully designed café inside with their unique vinegar drinks. We will have a stop here to enjoy the view and the special beverage.

It is not just any mountain.
The hike up Mt. Obongsan takes you along a rocky ridge and fascinating views with rock formations, stone pagodas, and waterfalls. In particular, this mountain is a unique cultural heritage because it was the place for quarrying Goodeuljang, which is a flat stone used in Ondol (underfloor heating system for Korean traditional houses). It had been actively quarried from 1940s to 1980s and accounted for 70% of the production of Gudeuljang nationwide. To deliver the quarried stones from the mountain to the ground, the cart drawn by a cow was used. The cart trail is still well preserved, and we will hike up through the cart trail to the waterfall (15minutes) or to the peak (40minutes).
