Geumgang Natural Recreation Forest

We've been wanting to visit the Geumgang Natural Recreation Forest since we first got here. It's just south of Sejong, about a 7 minute drive from our apartment. There are a few buses that go to the area, but unfortunately they don't run during the weekend. That's part of why it has taken us so long to get over there. We had to take taxis, and because it is so close to us it only cost about W7,600 there and W9,200 back. Also, the entry fee for the GNRC is only W1,500 per person. Here is a map of the area The first thing we noticed upon entering the area was the huge glass dome, so we headed over in that direction. Inside we found a hot, humid, and dripping wet tropical greenhouse with hundreds of plants. It was really amazing.
