Farming Village Experience

Information

Yupo-ri was name so because the village has a lot of willow trees. Since the village is enveloped by Geumdangsan Mountain and Daemisan Mountain, it gives off a feeling of coziness. Surimdae Village is so well-organized that it was designated as Excellent New Agriculture Construction Movement Village, and villagers efficiently preserve the natural environment by using environmentally friendly compost with a firm conviction that the environment needs to be well protected to sustain the village. However, what makes it more attractive is warm-hearted villagers who take visitors to their heart all the time.
