The Korea Tourism Organization presented a list of the best places to bike in Korea for a late fall retreat.
The 35-km bike ride in Hwacheon, Gangwon Province, is famous for its scenic ride along the “Sanso-gil,” a riverside road that passes the small Bungeo Island to Mireuk rock and other famous local places. One can rent a bike at the entrance of Bungeo Island.
Bukdo-myeon in Ongjin-gun, Incheon, allows bike rides between islands. The course that goes around three islands takes about three to four hours, offering extensive views of mudflats on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula.
Seoyudo Island in North Jeolla Province, known as one of the best places for pleasant bike rides, also connects neighboring islands with bridges. Cars are not allowed on bike paths, enabling cyclists to fully enjoy the unique landscapes.
