| Introduction | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Daehan Daeop Tourist Plantation is an area located in Boseong, and its main specialty is green tea which originated from the mountain valleys south of Boseong. Boseong has been a tea plantation area since the days of the Japanese occupation, and with its long history comes large plantations, their traditions, and highly skilled workers. The most famous of these is the Daehan Daeop Plantation.
Even the road leading to Daehan Daeop Plantation is very beautiful, full of green tea fields and cedar trees. There are several country roads in Korea known for their beauty, and one of them is the Boseong Cedar Road. Trees 20 meters in height are planted and lined evenly along both sides of the road. About 300 meters down the road you can see a market selling local products. If you go further along the road past the market, you come to a small pond on the right. Go around the pond, and you will come to the administrative office building, coffee shops and restaurants. Pass these buildings and you will finally arrive at the Daehan Daeop Tea Plantation. Go passed the buildings and on the left side you will see the cedar road again. On the other side of the road, in the middle of the tea field, there are stairs where you can climb to a big tree at the top of a hill. You can see the whole tea plantation from here. |
