You just have to carry the passionate heart of youth.

BUS, TRAIN, CAR

This is my team, consisting of 10 international students from various provinces in South Korea. On the first day, we visited an aquarium. Right next to the Danyang intercity bus terminal, you can find the 다누리 aquarium. Though it is quite small, it displays a wide variety of fish. Especially on the second floor, there is a fishing museum showcasing photos of aquatic life and fishing equipment. Next, we moved on to the traditional market in Danyang, called 단양구경시장. This place is famous for ojami rice wine, fresh garlic, and four-flavored bread. There is also cartoon ice cream, which is quite delicious. You can choose your favorite flavor and add your desired stickers. In the afternoon, we went to 어의곡새밭등산로입구 and started climbing. The total length of the trail is 17 km and it takes about 8 hours. The mountain is quite easy to climb, but the view is extremely beautiful. It’s also the most wonderful mountain we’ve ever climbed. On the second day, we checked out of the hotel and went to Danyang paragliding. There are many companies offering parachute services, which you can easily find through marketing on Instagram. Here, you will be provided with rental clothing, necessary safety gear, paragliding instructions, and an assigned pilot. Afterward, you can take a check-in photo. Then, without an airplane, you can still soar and glide in the sky. It was my first time experiencing such an exciting service. After that, we went to eat at a famous 떡갈비 restaurant in Danyang called 가연. It is famous for 마늘 떡갈비. Additionally, there are 한우 마늘 육회 and a few hot soups. I think it resembles traditional Korean dining called 한정식. Finally, we went to 남한강레포츠 to experience kayaking. We sat on one boat with an accompanying guide. We paddled through whirlpool areas, enjoyed swimming, and admired the scenery together. It took about 3 hours to paddle to the finish. It was tiring but so much fun. This vacation has been the most enjoyable and memorable trip for me in Korea.
