Geocache Description:

This cache is located at the Silkworm Town and Insect Science Museum in Buan-gu, Jeollabuk-do.

This region of Mapo-ri long noted for its silk production, has been designated as a UNESCO Heritage Site.

This museum is a wonderful place to visit, with great displays of silke production, specimens of silk moths from around the world, exhibits of many other insects, and wonderful educational facilities and programs for children. There is a large playground area and walk-through maze outside.

Be sure to sample some mulberry ice cream or juice!

We were accompanied by a charming English-speaking guide! What a nice surprise.

The cache container is a medium Lock-and-Lock box with small trade items.

Take highway 736.
