Culture of Damyang

Among the most popular specialities, Damyangddeokgalbi (tteokgalbi): this tasty and juicy marinated beef and pork mix, usually grilled at the table, is supposed to have originated either in Damyang or in Gwangju.

Don't even think about escaping bamboo in Damyang: many restaurants propose daetongbap (rice cooked in bamboo), and tea places bamboo tea.

Soswaewon

A private garden built by Yang San-bo (1503–1557), Soswaewon stretches along a charming streamlet dotted with pavilions particularly suitable for meditation. A refreshing spot in the summer heat.
