- September 20 · 7:30 AM
Let's take an overnight trip to Gureop-do, where we can experience camping on a scenic island that is truly off the beaten path. We will need to take two ferries to reach the island, which is off the coast of Incheon. The island is mountainous with a mix of sandy and rocky beaches, and is home to many wild deer. We will pitch our tents on the grassy mountaintop where we can see Gureop-do's beautiful sunset and sunrise. As Gureop-do is remote, there will be no showers, and there is only one bathroom which may or may not be available while we are there. The few small restaurants by the beach may be closed for the holiday, so we should bring all of the food we will need for the trip. Gureop-do has been becoming more well-known as a camping destination over the past year or two, so let's go there while it's still undeveloped and charming. It should be an incredible way to spend Chuseok!
