A Hot Summer: Play in Gimhae's Valleys

Here we introduce Jangyu Daecheong Valley and Jangcheok Valley in Gimhae, both wonderful spots in summer. The sea is nice in summer, but for real coolness, a valley is the way to go. Jangyu Daecheong Valley can be called Gimhae's foremost valley, and it draws large crowds seeking relief from the heat. Playing in water so cold your feet go numb is great fun, but taking a walk along the deck trails of the surrounding recreational forest will give you an even greater sense of refreshment.
