"A Trip to the Other Side of the World on Subway Line 3!"
Today, we are setting off in search of very special scenery that can be found just a short distance from Seoul. Starting from Samsong Station on Line 3, this is a one-day walking tour course that continues to the 'Byeokjegwan Site' and 'Goyang Hyanggyo,' where the history of the Joseon Dynasty comes alive, and finally to the 'Latin American Cultural Center,' often called a 'Little Mexico within Korea.'
Enjoy exotic Mayan murals and colorful sculptures without taking a plane, plus the luxury of a delicious plate of tacos to satisfy your hunger!
How about dressing lightly this weekend and going on a walking trip to Goyang City, where history and unique culture coexist?
