It turned out that the countryside around Goryeong 고령 and Seongju 성주 districts, on the western border of Daegu, had already finished harvesting. The road and the path along the rice fields were very dusty due to the dirt left behind by agricultural vehicles during the harvesting season. Inhaled a lot of dust whenever cars passed by and stirred it up, which caused a cyclist to develop a sore throat.
Managed to continue along the route to the west and crossed a pass between the two villages of Gotan 고탄 and Palsan 팔산 in Goryeong district. Paused for a moment to take a break around the office of Unsu 운수 township after zigzagging down from the pass, and a square in front of the office can be also seen. Enjoyed autumnal sidewalk scene on the way home.
