Day 1 - Ceramic & Nature Enthusiast
Welcome to Ich’on, South Korea! The first words that come to mind? Ceramics. Nature. And not to forget, delicious food. Start your day with a visit to the Yeoju World Ceramic Livingware Gallery.

After this cultural immersion, let's rejuvenate ourselves at Seolbong Park. With its serene lake, hiking trails, vibrant flowers, and outdoor museum, it's a place where nature meets culture. As the sun sets, we'll soak in the magical panorama from the Icheon Rice Cultural Festival. Here's a hint: ever seen 10,000 candles lighting up a rice field? If not, get ready to be mesmerized. Alright, now if your belly is rumbling as loud as mine, let's seek solace in some Icheon rice. They say it's the best in South Korea!
