If you love green tea or just appreciate the beauty of green tea fields, Boseong is a great weekend trip. Aside from the tea plantation, which deserves at least 2-3 hours which includes hiking time, you can enjoy a green tea soak in a jimjilbang, eat some green tea ice cream, drink some green tea, and play on the beach in the nearby town of Yulpo.
