Gosan Changpo Village (창포마을)

Since there is a colony of irises (Changpo), it is a quiet rural village that produces traditional handmade products using irises. Various experiences such as making natural shampoo and soap are available. It is essential to take a picture in a pose like a pictorial at the rustic concrete bridge where the BTS members sat, and the old shop Yongam Sanghoe where you can feel the years.
