[One Day Walk] Walking Along the Waterway... Yangpyeong 30 Course

7.6km from Gyeongjeong1-ri Village Hall to Yangdong Station

Course 30 of the Gyeonggi Dullegil is a 7.6 km path that runs from Gyejeong 1-ri Village Hall to Yangdong Station. It is an easy course that takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes to walk from north to south through Gyejeong-ri in Yangdong-myeon.

When you visit Gyejeong-ri to walk this path, a large zelkova tree welcomes you. It is a symbol that has been with the village for a long time. In the season when the leaves are lush after spring, it provides shade where travelers can rest.

The official starting point is the bus stop at Songjeong Village in Gyejeong 1-ri. A distinctive feature of this path is that water paths, roads, and walking paths accompany each other. After starting and passing through a road section, you will stand on the embankment of Gyejeongcheon at the entrance of Miryanggol in Gyejeong 1-ri.

Gyejeongcheon is a stream that originates in the northern part of Gyejeong-ri and flows from north to south. It flows to Yangdong Station and joins Seokgokcheon just south of the station area. Walking along this path, you will see peaceful scenes of rice farming and greenhouse farming around Gyejeongcheon.

Following the water path, you part ways with Gyejeongcheon at Garaetgol in Gyejeong 3-ri. The Gyejeong 3-ri section consists of village roads and farm roads. You occasionally meet Gyejeongcheon but soon part ways again. The Samsan-ri section follows village roads along the foothills.

Passing under the underpass south of Yangdong Station, you reach the end point. Yangdong is a place name given because it means the east of Yangpyeong. The specialty of this area is chive. It is said to be the largest producer of summer chives nationwide. It is used as an ingredient in various dishes and pairs well with Jipyeong Makgeolli produced in Yangpyeong. It is also used as a medicinal herb in oriental medicine.
