Damyang Garden Pavilions
Tile-roofed pavilions and stone walls tucked into the gardens and hills around Damyang.
Damyang's hills are dotted with jeongja — open pavilions where scholars wrote, drank tea and watched the seasons. Sitting on the wooden floor of one, with the valley below and bamboo behind, is the most local thing you can do here.
Walk through living fortress villages, historic port streets and quiet traditional gardens where the region's stories remain visible.
