Changpyeong Samjinae Village (Slow City)
창평 삼지내마을
One of Asia's first Slow Cities. Stone-walled lanes and old houses are well preserved, and you can taste traditional maltose and rice soup.
Samjinae Village lies in Changpyeong-myeon, Damyang County. In 2007, together with Sinan, Wando and other places, it became one of Asia's first "International Slow Cities." The village's winding lanes of earth and stone walls are registered as cultural heritage. Traditional hanok, including the Go family house, are preserved here. You can try making Changpyeong maltose (yeot) and doenjang, the traditional soybean paste, or eat rice soup at the nearby Changpyeong Market. Entry is free. It takes about 40 minutes by bus from Gwangju.
