Today's Trekkingaround journey is a course filled with diverse charms, from serene nature and unique filming sets to a healing traditional Hanok village stone-wall path.

Starting with a blooming pure white lotus garden, we look out over an overwhelming granite quarry that was originally a rocky mountain but was carved down into a massive 80~120m deep underground cliff.

Afterwards, we explore a secret garden hidden for 50 years, now open as a free public park, enjoying the fresh air, beautiful metasequoia forest, and seasonal flowers.

We then enjoyed a hearty traditional set meal and a walk in an estate where over 4,000 traditional pottery jars are endlessly lined up across a vast land

In the afternoon, we pass through Korea's unique prison filming set, which has appeared in over 230 movies and dramas.

We peacefully wrap up our trip in a quiet Hanok village designated as a registered national cultural heritage, listening to the drizzling rain along the winding old stone walls.
