Gwangju International Center is running an overnight culture tour to Bogildo Island on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.
The tour will visit Lands End, the southwestern tip of the Korean mainland, before taking a ferry to Nohwado Island, which is connected to Bogildo Island by bridge.
Once there they will take part in an abalone farming experience, and see the Saeyeon Pavilion in the garden of Yun Sun-do, a neo-Confucian scholar and poet who lived on the island after being sent away by the king.
After an abalone barbecue, the group will stay overnight in a traditional Korean house. The next morning there will be some time to explore the island before returning to Gwangju and arriving at 5 p.m.
The tour costs 130,000 won for GIC members, 140,000 won for nonmembers and 70,000 won for preschoolers. To join, sign up via gic.or.kr by Sunday.
