A great season to go on a picnic ~ Damyang & Slow City Changpyeong Date : 2013 . 10 . 13 Am 08 : 00 ~ Pm 18 : 00 participants : Foreign touristsWith Youngja Jeon Korea Culture Tourism Guide The name Damyang was first introduced in the Goryeo Period . Damyang was initially called Chujahyegun in the Baekje Period , which was renamed to Chuseonggun in the Silla Period . King Seongjong changed it as Damju and established Dodanryeonsa in his 14 th year ( 995 ) . Then , it belonged to Naju and its name became the present Damyang . It was promoted to gun in the 4 th year of King Taejo ( 1395 ) for it was the hometown of Guksa Jogu . As King Gongjeong ( Jeongjong ) came to the throne ( 1398 ) , it was again raised to bu for being Queen Kim ’ s hometown , which became dohobu in the 13 th year ( 1413 ) of King Taejong . According to the present administrative district , Damyang - gun is composed of Damyang - eup and 11 myeons : Goseo ㆍ Geumseong ㆍ Nam ㆍ Daedeok ㆍ Mujeong ㆍ Daejeon ㆍ Bongsan ㆍ Subuk ㆍ Wolsan ㆍ Yong ㆍ Changpyeong . The reform on the administrative district , which was carried out under the Japanese rule in 1914 , has laid the foundation for the current Damyang . In other words , Changpyeng - gun was incorporated into Damyang - gun , while Okgwa - myeon that was under the jurisdiction of Changpyeong was transferred to Gokseong - gun . Also , Daejeon - myeon , Subuk - myeon , and Nam - myeon were initially from Gwangju City and Jangseong - gun . Therefore , it can be noted that the regions that compose Damyang - gun today would have been two separate administrative districts before the modern period .

Slow City Changpyeong Samjicheon village was established around 1510 in Changpyeong - myeon in Damyang , but the current village and the stone wall road were formed when the Go family settled down . The village is called Samjicheon because three streams ( cheon ) flow through the village . It was designated Slow City in 2007 . Samjicheon village has a guardian tree ( zelkova ) and houses are built in the traditional Korean style , hanok . Some hanoks were made of cement and used steel for roofs , rather than tiles .

To the west of sarangchae , the middle gate is located in line with anchae . Although the house shows some features of houses built after 1910 such as the thinner building materials and the changed structure of sarangchae , it has well preserved the traditional house structure considering its fine timber framing and structure , all in good formality . the lunch - Changpyeong Market Gukbap boiled rice served in Soup in the local soup containing beef and rice ( If you are a vegetarian , have a bibim noodle with vegetable and red hot pepper paste ) The Korean bamboo musiumAddress : 35 , Jukhyangmunhwa - ro , Damyang - eup , Damyang - gun , Jeollanam - do The Korean Bamboo Museum opened in March 1998 .

Local Food There is something special about the Noodle Street that is emerging as the new popular street . Try noodle served in hot anchovy broth or cold spicy noodle and have a boiled egg cooked in herbs , you will forget the scorching summer heat . In a serving bowl , place a handful of noodle and pour the hot anchovy broth that was brewed overnight . Garnish with sauce chopped with cheongyang red pepper and spring onion and voila ! a bowl of noodle in hot anchovy broth is ready to serve . Around 10 noodle shops are closely clustered on the Hyanggyo Bridge near Gwanbangjerim Riverside Park where bamboo products market used to be held in the past . Now , the bamboo products market has closed and the area has become to be called the ‘ Noodle Street ’ for anyone can have a bowl of noodle in anchovy broth that has been brewed overnight with onions , green onions , and anchovies . If you prefer a strong taste , try a bowl of cold spicy noodle . Different from other noodle shops in Korea , here they serve a large plate with seasoned pickled radish , bean sprout salad , seasoned seaweed , and kimchi along with a bowl of cold spicy noodle . However , the atmosphere of the Noodle Street is not at all cheap . Around 200 trees that are 200 to 400 years old stand tall along the 2 km road that has been designated as a Natural Monument . More than half of these trees are muku trees , but zelkovas and hackberry trees can be found as well . Noodle shops have placed outdoor tables next to these large trees . Although it is fun to eat on a low table and sit on the floor of the shop , it would be even better to sit outside and have a bowl of noodle amidst the cool wind . It almost feels like you are at a friendly country market , which is not fancy but warm and welcoming .
