Take a Drive in Gyeongsangnam-do

However, the number of COVID-19 infections has not yet decreased significantly. People still have to be careful about going out on fall outings. It may be better to drive a car than to go on an outing in a crowded place. Driving is a suitable outdoor activity in the year of social distancing. There are so many driving attractions in Gyeongsangnam-do that people can enjoy.
