⊙ Dosimdawon (도심다원)

Hadong’s tea fields, which are known as the thousand-year-old tea fields, are characterized by being wild rather than cultivated. Among the many tea gardens in Hadong, the one with the most beautiful and peaceful scenery is Dosimdawon. In “House on Wheels,” actor and singer Yim Si-wan and Girls’ Generation Yoona sat in a pavilion and sipped green tea while looking out at the green tea fields stretched out below. Tea utensils and tea leaves in a picnic basket are available for rent so that you can brew your own tea.
