Bike Damyang to Gwangju

Cycle by picturesque forests and foodie streets.

The first half of the Yeongsangang Bicycle Path runs along the Yeongsan River (영산강; map) from Damyang County (담양군; map) to Gwangju City (광주광역시; map) in the country’s southwest.

The cycling course passes a handful of highlights, including a noodle street, bamboo park, metasequoia tree walking path, and a weir with rice-shaped towers. It ends in a city with a rebellious spirit.
