Standing in the middle of Damyang's Metasequoia Forest Road, word is useless. This road is described as the most beautiful tree-lined road in Korea. Damyang (담양, 潭陽) is actually more famous for its bamboo, but I was there for its metasequoia instead. I think the best times to visit the place are during autumn and snowing days. I thought the whole place would look more picturesque if the fallen leaves were kept on the road and not swept away. Anyway, Metasequoia Forest Road is still very rich in autumn atmosphere.
