Duck Boating in Jinju (진주)

Along the river running through Jinju, you can do duck paddling or turtle paddling. The rental place is right outside the JinJuSeong Fortress. The duck boats are for 2 people and the turtle boats (they look like yellow dragons) are for 4 people. Since there were 3 of us, we went on the turtle boat. It is 5,000 won total for 30 minutes (it's not strict). We were able to paddle from one bridge to the other. You have to maneuver your boat with the handle bar in the center. It is simple to figure out. I forget which is which, but when the bar is pushed all the way forward or all the way backward, it will go either left or right. When it is in the center, it is still and should go straight.

In the middle of the river there is a model of a women and a man on a boat:
