The Gosalli Forest Trail runs along a stream in Harye 2-ri, Namwon-eup on the southern part of Jeju Island. The area was recognized by the Ministry of Environment in 2013 for their outstanding efforts in preserving and protecting the local ecology. The forest trail passes through one of Jeju's beautiful forested areas, and is perfect for peaceful leisure walks, being less known among tourists. To limit the amount of damage to the natural environment, the trails are unrefined, so guests are reminded to tread carefully.
Baramsae Village Picnic Garden in Pyeongtaek is a special eco-park where visitors can enjoy a picnic in a natural setting.

Greetings, and welcome to the '1883 Incheon Open Port' Historical and Cultural Tour! The year '1883' marks a significant milestone when Incheon, the largest port of the Joseon Dynasty, first opened its doors to the world. In the 19th century, Incheon became a hub of global influence, as it was the closest port to Hanyang, the capital city. As a result, it developed a rich tapestry of diverse arts and architecture from various countries, making it Korea's pioneering city in embracing a global culture. As you look around, you'll notice the large ships docked at the Incheon Inner Port, which was the third port in Korea, following Busan and Wonsan. This port was a significant gateway to Korea's modernization. With an area of about 2.76km², it can accommodate up to 48 ships at once and boasts eight docks handling various goods ranging from steel to grains. The stonework of the Incheon Inner Port, constructed in 1914, is not just a historical artifact, but a symbol of the progress and challenges that came with modernization. Now, let me introduce you to the Sangsang Platform in Incheon, a monumental project that transformed the largest grain warehouse in Asia (from 1978 to 2016) into a multifunctional cultural hub. This four-story cultural complex, located at the 8th pier, is expected to foster a closer relationship between the sea and the citizens. It demonstrates the city's commitment to revitalizing the inner port and the original city center, not just through the development of a marine cultural zone and a complex platform at Incheon station, but also with the construction of the Incheon tram. This year, to commemorate the opening of the Sangsang Platform, we're hosting a Chimaek (Chicken Nugget & Beer) Party open to all foreign visitors, residents, and students in Korea. Sponsored by the Incheon Metropolitan City and Incheon Tourism Organization, this event promises not only free chicken and beer – Incheon's specialities – but also a range of activities, performances, and celebrity appearances. Our official partner, 'Trippose.com,' invites you to immerse yourself in Korean culture with a special package, combining the Chimaek (Chicken Nugget & Beer) Party with a hands-on traditional Korean paper (Hanji) crafting experience led by a master artisan, and a historical tour of Incheon while dressed in traditional Korean Hanbok. Don't miss this unique opportunity to create unforgettable memories in Korea. Book your exclusive package now, and we promise you an experience filled with powerful emotions and deep impressions.
