Danyang Day Tour|Hidden Gem of Korea|Depart from Seoul

2026/10/02

Today, we were guided by Roger! Roger was incredibly dedicated and responsible, and his language skills were outstanding. He delivered the explanations in both Chinese and English, ensuring no one in the group missed it – truly impressive! We were grateful to Roger for driving us safely to each attraction. He managed the time perfectly and even took some beautiful photos for us ☺️ Having visited Seoul several times, I highly recommend taking a day trip to explore Danyang, which, although a bit far, is tranquil and therapeutic!
