Breathe in and out Forest Tour
Jeonjisan Cypress Forest
The forest generates phytoncide and refreshes the air by sterilizing it. The cypress tree generates the most phytoncide of all trees. The efficacies of phytoncide include the activation of the cerebral cortex, inhibiting the spread of fungus, air purification, preventing allergies, and deodorization. Enjoy the effects of killing two birds with one stone, healing your mind, and strengthening your health in a great cypress forest.

Wansan Park Cedar Forest
The low Gonjisan Mountain in Dongwansan-dong is imbued with history. The mountain nurses a green forest in all seasons, as if it embraces the sad history of General Gim Gae-nam, the leader of the Donghak peasant army, who was executed and the Catholics who were martyred in the late Joseon period. The wind on the rock, which was named ‘Green Rock’ because of the stiff cliffs and greenish color of the exuberant forest, imparts feelings of romance and sentiments during summer.

Haksan Mountain
Walk on a trail filled with the fragrant scent of pine trees and songs of diverse birds on Haksan Mountain in Pyeonghwa-dong, and you may feel it’s so good that it will never fall behind other forest trails. The walking deck is good for easy walking as there are no obstacles. Haksan Forest Poem Library, recently built as a small cabin in the forest, and the Mannae Lake at the foot of the mountain draw exclamation. More diverse programs are available through the library tour programs held by the Jeonju Municipal Library.

Seungamsan Cypress Forest
Seungamsan Mountain has several names, including Jungbawisan Mountain and Chimyeongjasan Mountain. The cool breeze against the waterway and the cypress forest filled with phytoncide on Seungamsan Mountain are unique. Have a forest bath in the cypress forest soaring so high that the treetops are not visible, and you may feel your body is fully stretched.
