In Boryeong, there is a place reminding the sentence, "When I got out of the tunnel, there was a snow country", which is the first sentence of Japanese author Kawabata Yasunari's novel Yukiguni. That is "Seongju" tunnel. Passing through the Seongju tunnel, which connects downtown and Seongju-Myeon, gives us novel feeling as if we step in totally different world.
