I visited the old and new parts of Oryu Beodeul Market, where I found great spots to enjoy traditional Korean food. For lunch, I visited 평양메밀촌 where I got 판모밀, cold buckwheat noodles with dipping soup. On my way to Pureun Arbotreum, I stopped by 럭키할인 마트, a local supermarket that has better deals than most convenience stores. For freshly made rice cakes, I recommend 떡사랑, especially the ones with red bean filling. Before entering the Arboretum, you can enjoy walking the tracks of the Hang-dong railroad. It's a great course for solo travelers, couples, or friends :)
To enjoy the best light for pictures and avoid the day heat, try going to the Pureun Arbotreum early in the morning or just before sunset.
