Pollen season has begun and typically reaches its peak in late April and early May. Cycled along the riverside path and through the scenic and peaceful countryside of Goryreong 고령 last weekend.
Gaegyeongpo 개경포 in Gaejin township 개진면 was once one of the public docks for transporting grains and salt along the Nakdong River, which had been the major traffic route since Shilla dynasty(57~935). Gaejin area is one of the leading potato producers nationwide.
Reached the junction where three roads diverge; one branching off westwards to Goryeong and northwards to Gaejin; and the other proceeding southwards to 우곡 Ugok. Cycled past a sports park with baseball fields and crossed the suspension bridge dedicated to pedestrians and cyclists on the way to downtown Goryeong. It sits leisurely against the backdrop of Goryeong.
