Yangpyeong itineraries

Dumulmeori to Yongmunsa by train

No car needed: the Gyeongui-Jungang Line carries you between Yangpyeong's two faces in one day. A riverside zelkova in the morning, a mountain ginkgo in the afternoon, a bowl of haejangguk by the station at night.

Seojong cafes, a night by the river

A slow drive around Seojong on the Bukhan River. Cross the stepping stones from a famous short story, sit in a hanok-courtyard cafe, then close day two with a forest walk and cold noodles.

River, mountain and market

Yangpyeong in three neighbourhoods: a riverside walk, a mountain temple ginkgo, a five-day market and the cafes of the Bukhan River, with two different riverside hotels.
