Disclaimer: I'm a little disappointed in my pictures. My phone (which acts as my camera) decided to kick the bucket. I used it for my last month in Korea but it wasn't taking photos well. These pictures don't even come close to how beautiful it was :(
For my last weekend in Gwangju I decided to finally check something off the bucket list. I've been trying to do this all year and it just never worked out. Finally,
finally, I made it to the nearby Boseong Green Tea Fields (Daehan Dawon Tourist Tea Plantation). These are some of the most famous green tea fields in Korea and incredibly picturesque.
The fields are only 45 min-1 hr from Gwangju and makes for a perfect day trip from the city to escape from the pollution and breath in some fresh air. I went with my friend and coworker Chia and we hiked most of the trails that surrounded the fields. There were plenty of photo-ops and lots of stairs to climb to explore the plantation. After hiking and lunch, we enjoyed some refreshing (and insanely delicious) green tea ice cream. Then it was time to head back to Gwangju. All in all, it was a really relaxing afternoon.
Peace!
