Damyang Bamboo Grove

Damyang is eco-friendly city that has a lot of trees and forests in Korea.

Juknokwon is the biggest bamboo forest in Korea, it is sixteen thousand square meter.

So, this place is a must-see in Damyang for tourists.

There are so many bamboos, these bamboos forms beautiful bamboo grove. 

If you sit on a bench and enjoy seeing nature, it makes you feel at ease. 

Bamboo forest is cooler than outdoor's weather, because bamboos produce oxygen continuously. When it is hot weather, this place dried your sweat off.

Bamboo is lightweight, hollow, but strong. 

If you visit Damyang bamboo grove in summer, you can see not only bamboo but all kind of beautiful flowers.
