Juknokwon Bamboo Garden
📍 담양읍 향교리, Damyang
Juknokwon is a bamboo forest that Damyang County developed around Seongansan Mountain, covering 160,000 ㎡ and opened in 2003. Climb the stone steps from the entrance and let the breeze blow through the bamboo, and you'll cool off almost instantly.
There's a 2.2km walking trail divided into eight themed paths, including Unsudaetong-gil and Jukmagou-gil, and climbing to the observation deck gives you a sweeping view over Damyang Stream and Metasequoia Road. Some sections are lit up at night so you can walk them after dark.

Useful tips
- Even if you only walk a short stretch of the eight themed paths, you'll still get a full sense of the bamboo forest's atmosphere.
- Climb up to the observation deck and you can look out over both Damyang Stream and Metasequoia Road.
- It can get crowded on weekends during peak season, so an early-morning visit is recommended.
