Where in Korea have you been to?
<Daejeon Gyejok Mountain, Red clay road>
The weather has gotten really warm in Korea these days.
It's awesome to start the day with bright sunlight and a great spring temperature.
But, the hot, humid summer weather is going to get here very, very soon. :P
Once summer comes, we will probably not be able to get through the day without flip-flops or sandals..
And for those of you that have been keeping your feet nice and warm in winter shoes,
today Raon will be introducing a destination where you can get 100% natural foot care :D

This picture basically sums up Gyejok mountain's Red clay road.
Gyejok mountain is well known as a spot to welcome the start of a new year with a great view of the sunrise.
At this mountain, there is a special road that is paved with red clay for visitors to pass by bare-footed.
With this natural red clay, you will be able to get a free foot care, for the upcoming summer season! :)
Also, after you get by this road you can leave your foot print on a piece of paper as a souvenir.

After the walk, there is a sink where you can clean off all the dirt or you can just put your feet inside the water stream that is flowing by.
It would be awesome to enjoy the cold waters especially during summer! :)

In May, there is a special "Bare foot festival" at Gyejok mountain.
All sorts of events are held and the highlight is the "Eco-healing Masai Marathon", which you can see in the picture above.
It is a 13km marathon that is open to everyone.
The Gyejok mountain is open all year round, so anyone that wishes to get some fresh air is welcome to visit any time.
How about going out for a walk to the red clay road and let your feet have a break from? :)
