Manjanggul Lava Tube

Nature & Parks
Nature preserve
Caverns & Caves
Manjanggul Lava Tube is a must-visit attraction on Jeju Island, offering a unique underground adventure. This long lava tube features impressive formations such as stalactites and stalagmites, along with bats and insects. The well-lit tunnels allow for easy exploration on foot without special equipment, providing an opportunity to learn about the island's volcanic history firsthand.
Can absolutely feel the wonder of nature and immerse yourself in it. Well preserved and easy to reach, the cave is a great place to visit! Though only 1km is opened for public, you can find many different forms of igneous rock here and the whole atmosphere is so good here! (We spent around 1 hour to finish the whole journey and back to the entrance) Apart from the cave, there is an indoor information center to learn the history of this place. Next to the center is a local restaurant offering fried cheese pork cutlet and udon. Recommend to give it a try also : ) Ticket price: 4,000 won per adult Plenty of outdoor parking space is available.

The food in the restaurant at the entrance is amazing! The host was very kind. So, we had a great start to our visit. The lava tube is stunning! Not much more to say, but that it is a must see. Walking will be challenging for those who struggle to walk on uneven surfaces - the floor is rough lava flow rock. Would go here to reflect, cool off, or just marvel at the wonder of it. Highly recommend.
Nathan B — Google review
Fun cave to explore. As others mentioned bring a hoodie or light jacket as it’s a little chilly down there. I would also wear sturdy shoes, the floor is very uneven and “natural” and damp, so good shoes will be a lot more comfortable. Lots of signs in English which was great. Cave is a little “short” so don’t expect it to be a full day event, but it’s great to get away from the heat in summer!
Sven N — Google review
This lava tube system is worth visiting. It is indeed a natural wonder. The temperature drops to around 18C the moment you step into the cave. When the outside temperature was 28C, when I visited. Advisable to bring a hat or raincoat unless you don't mind the water dripping from the roof of the cave onto you. It is dimly lit, so if you have a torchlight, might help you watch your steps better. The formation of the cave and the shelves are explained along the way. At the end of the tube, you get to see the tallest column. Check my photos out. Photo tip: if you have night mode on your mobile, turn that on, it will make a great difference in your photos.
Serene S — Google review
Amazing experience! It's a long walk through the tube but it's definitely a wonderful experience. The floors could use a bit more lighting though, as it's difficult to see where you're walking at times.
RAK — Google review
good place to visit and learn about geology. quite easy to walk inside the cave. temperature inside was cool. recommend to wear the suitable shoes for walking. ticket is 4000 krw in case of individual. bus is available, pls confirm before come. it takes about30 mins to walk inside.
Chom H — Google review
As a UNESCO site this place is a must visit if you're in Jeju. The cave is not a long walk its about 1km deep however if you are not comfortable in semi dark spaces or slip easily on uneven damn surfaces the place might not be for you. Bring a hat and rain jacket as the ca e is damn and cool once you're inside. Umbrellas not recommended as some paths are narrower and you'll impede other visitors.
D H — Google review
Interesting Lava Tube. It can be quite cold so wear a light jacket helps. Not a tough journey through the cave, my 6yo walk with a breeze. A bit wet and slippery so a good pair of hiking shoe helps. Enjoy!

(Translated by Google) There are some facilities for parents and children to interact, and some places for influencers to take photos! But for cat lovers, it's sad to see that these cats here are not doing well! Many of the cats are in poor condition, which is obvious from the condition of their fur: dirty, clumped, listless, and with runny noses! I hope the park will really take good care of these cats and not just use them as a cash cow. 🥲 (Original) 有一些親子可以互動的設施,有一些網美可以拍照的地方!但對愛貓人士來說,看到這些在這裡的貓貓,過得並不好,看了會很難過!有許多貓的體態狀況很不好,從貓毛的狀況就可以很明顯看得出來,髒、結塊,沒有精神、流鼻涕等!希望園區能真的好好照顧這些貓,不要只是把牠們當搖錢樹的工具🥲

Udo

Mentioned on 
+62 other lists 
Island
Nature & Parks
Udo, a charming island located just a 15-minute ferry ride off the northeast coast of Jeju, is famous for its coral beach, cozy cafes, and convenient bicycle and scooter rentals. While many visitors come for a day-trip to explore the stunning coastlines, staying overnight allows for a more in-depth exploration of the island's hidden gems.
This is probably my favorite place in Jeju, if not the entire South Korea. This small island is packed with adventures suitable for all ages, ranging from cycling and sightseeing to speed boating and cafe hopping. The only downside is that the ferry to Udo is suspended when there are strong winds; as a result, I only visited this beautiful island on my third try. Many tourists explore the island by motorcycle, which you need an international license for. If you do not have a license, single/double bikes are also available.
Pui C — Google review
Udo Island, also known as Cow Island, is a nice place to visit in Jeju. It is clean, peaceful and beautiful. Visitors without a rented car, can take the public bus from Jeju City (north) or Seogwipo City (south) to Seongsan Ferry Terminal. From there, take a short 15 minute ferry ride to Cheonjin Port in Udo Island. Remember to bring your international passport along. In Udo Island, we can rent a battery-powered bicycle, scooter or mini car to explore the small island. To rent a scooter or a mini car, we need to have an International Driving Permit (IDP). It takes about 2-3 hours to go one round the island. Do not forget to try the peanut ice-cream and other peanut products as Udo Island is famous for its peanuts.
CS C — Google review
I don't know why Koreans find this place so beautiful and wonderful. Nothing here but peanut ice cream. No lush vegetation. Lava rock beaches- unwelcoming. A tourist trap. Dont waste your time, if you've ever been to a nice island. Windy and cold in November. Rent a bike if you come. Can cover it in 1 to 1.5 hours
Jeff ( — Google review
It was probably a little overrated for the island. But to get here, it’s pretty straightforward. You can only get here by the ferry (no cars allowed unless you’re traveling with seniors and young kids). There’s a parking lot right next to the port, so if you’re driving it’s quite unlikely that they’ll run out of parking space. Once we’re here we bought the shuttle bus ticket to go around the island. You need to plan properly where you want to get off the shuttle as you can only go around the loop once, if you missed it you can either walk, cycle or get another ticket. (8,000 won per person). If you want to get the scooters you’ll need an international drivers license. The only thing I find it fun here was the speedboat to see caves. Other than that I think it’s a little overrated. The peanut icecream didn’t surprise us, there are a lot of tourists that would hog certain photo spots for a long time and blocking walkways. I thought I would spend a full day here but I left after two hours because there’s nothing much to see. The popcorn beach was rather disappointing as well and the water right next to the speedboat was quite polluted. You can see a layer of petroleum floating and you probably wouldn’t want to dip your feet in.
Rachel F — Google review
If Hallasan is the most recommended place to visit in Jeju, the second would definitely be Udo. Udo is a beautiful island with stunning landscapes, making it a must-visit destination. There are two harbors on the island, so it’s important to check the time and plan your trip accordingly. When buying tickets for the ferry, remember to purchase round-trip tickets. Also, you’ll need to fill out two boarding passes for your journey. The ferry ride to Udo takes about 15 minutes, providing a smooth and scenic experience. Once you arrive on the island, you'll be greeted by breathtaking views and plenty of things to explore. For an easier and more comfortable trip, I highly recommend using the bus transfer tour around the island. It’s a convenient way to visit the key spots without worrying about transportation. Renting a bicycle or a motorcycle might sound fun, but it can be quite dangerous due to the narrow roads and high traffic, so I wouldn't recommend it. The bus tour costs around 8,000 KRW and allows you to hop on and off at various travel spots, giving you the flexibility to explore at your own pace. Make sure to manage your time well to fully enjoy your visit to Udo and its surroundings. It’s a short trip, but definitely worth the effort for a peaceful and picturesque experience. There are so many toliet for free.
Shalom — Google review
Absolutely beautiful place that you must travel to. It is located on the eastern side of Jeju island. You'll have to take a ferry across to get there. It is possible to bring your car to Udo island , however, the roads in Udo are very narrow, and it is advisable to park your car there and rent smaller E-cars/bikes there for ease of access. Do note that if you're using the bikes(with handles), you'll need to wear a helmet. For the smaller e cars(with steering wheel), it was not a requirement when I was there in Oct 2023. At Udo Donghaseon Quay, look for the dome shape area where you can buy tickets. 1. Fill up two of the boarding report form, one is for dept from seongsan, one is for dept from udo. 2. Go to the counter and pay, and they'll ask if you're bringing your car. With car about 72,000krw. 3. The entry to the boat is on the left side when you're looking at the dome entrance from the car park. Look for men in the blue vest and show them your payment ticket and boarding report. 4. They'll tell you what lane to go and which ship, reverse your way in.

There is the most beautiful island of South Korea. You can have various delicious seafood, also go around the island by electric vehicle. I have traveled so many countries like USA, EU, UK etc. And there are lots of beautiful places but I think Udo island also is one of them.
YOUNGHO ( — Google review
Im sure most people will have a better expirience than me but my expierience was just okay. I recommend you go and buy a ticket at 1.30-2.00ish as afterwords there isnt much time to see all the things. The shuttle bus costs 8000 krw and the last bus to catch is at 3.40ish and to rent electric car only very little stalls accept international driving lisence and you need the paper version which we didnt have. And it was really really sunny not hot though so we just sat down in the shade and just relaxed. The ferry tucket costs 9000-10000 ish krw each person. Also if you are planning to go i recommend you go on an empty stomach as you should try all their peanut items and also buy or bring some snacks for your ferry as you can feed the seagulls (was the best part when we went udo island)

Mountain peak

Yudalsan is a beautiful mountain peak located in Mokpo, offering sweeping views of the surrounding islands and sunsets. Visitors can enjoy a sculpture park, climb the mountain in just 30 minutes while taking time to appreciate the scenery, and witness the stunning lights of Mokpo Bridge at night. It's an ideal spot for those who love olle trail as they can walk along it and take a cable car to another island.
Nicely renovated with new stairs. Go early so it's not so hot, and bring water!

Nice hike. Fairly short, but you are rewarded with a nice view of Mokpo and the bay.
Nancy E — Google review
AMAZING view of the entire city of Mokpo and the nearby islands at the summit. On a clear day, one of the best views in Jeolla. Only catch, it is a brutal hike if you’re out of shape like me. Lots and lots and lots of stairs. If you’re not actively working out or not a hiker, you will be in for a rude awakening. Also, if you park at the bottom, you have to pay for it.
Sean Q — Google review
This is a fabulous mountain because it is still similar to when my appah was young. There used to be a lot of beautiful Buddhist structures but they are gone now. My appah said there used to be a lot of ajummas selling makkeoli alcohol in the past and we found the last remaining one! If you start at 노적봉 Nojuk rock and walk towards The first and second rock 일등바위 and 이등바위, there is a 8 sided pavilion where an ajumma sells makkeoli, snacks and drinks. Please support her! If you also walk off the beaten path toward rock 1 and rock 2 and past that, you will go down off the beaten pathways that are more rugged and more natural the way it used to be. I find it charming. If you take the pathway towards the marine sculpture (modern sculpture which is rubbish), it will lead out to a street. Cross the street and you will find original shanty like homes from ~70 years ago. If you want to look on Google maps look up Doldamjib chicken restaurant. Fascinating. Note: People still live in these homes so you may just look at it from the main road. I was with my appah and was able to go down to the neighbourhoods and walk down old time memories. Please spend your money in the old town and not the new town. The old town needs your money. They want to redevelop the old town but i hope they do not. These old moon dilapidated villages are beautiful and some of the last standing. So much of Korea is developed and modern and any neighbourhood you go to looks like just any other littered with massive apartment buildings. Anyway enjoy!
Jean Y — Google review
You can see the mountains, sea, and downtown of Mokpo at a glance. We can climb the mountain in 30 minutes, so I think we should eat and go up slowly. It is also romantic to see lights coming on from Mokpo Bridge at night.

1913 Songjeong Station Market

Traditional market
Sights & Landmarks
1913 Songjeong Station Market, situated across from Gwangju Songjeong Station, has undergone a revival in recent years. The historic market street was given a retro makeover and now features trendy indie stores, eateries offering tempura, ramen, and rice cakes, as well as long-established businesses selling groceries. The market boasts an eclectic mix of cafes, pop-up stores, and specialty food shops alongside traditional vendors.
Such a nice area to have a stroll and have some local food, snacks or drinks! It really had the old-fashioned vibe which I personally loved 🩷😊

It was a little difficult to find, but once we did, it was awesome! Go as it's getting dark and the street comes alive with a trendy yet old-school, retro feel. It's a great place to dress in old-fashioned school uniforms or take some black and white photos. Lots of yummy places to stop and eat street food as well. It's a blast!

Daehan Dawon Green Tea Tourist Farm

Sights & Landmarks

Huge green tea plantation offering hikes amid verdant, terraced fields & snacks such as ice cream.
This tea plantation is amazing. The only thing I did not like about it is the missing handrail, when going up the steps. I was only able to go halfway (about 56 steps), as I fear looking down. But, otherwise, my friends were very happy to reach the top - maybe my next trip there will be different - I will try to make my way to the top, with the bird's eye view of the plantation. The onsite shops also sell different kinds of tea, the ice cream is one of the best & the cafe also serve great coffee. Visiting the Boseon Green Tea Plantation was the highlight of my trip to Jeollanan-do, South Korea.

Really cool to see where green tea comes from! I hear 40% of all Korea's green tea comes from here. They have cafes and stores. The green tea ice cream is delicious. You can also buy matcha and other high quality teas. When you come here bring a good pair of shoes to climb the stairs. If you want to see a view of the ocean, there is a rocky path and hiking shoes would be recommended.

Definitely worth the trip!! The pictures don’t do it justice. This is THE largest Tea Garden in the nation and has been opened since 1939. It had to be rebuilt after the war, but there are no traces of the previous devastation. There are many private farms nearby, but this one is open to the public and has been used as a sight for filming. Come treat yourself to something that used to be propagated only in Buddhist temples and royal courts!!! **Nice getaway from the city. Path to the farm consists of two loops. To the left from the entrance is a walking loop through thick bamboo. To the right is the tea farm. Lots of parking nearby. Wear good walking shoes.

Beautiful environment and not only the tea plants. There are flowers and nice trees all around. It is definitely worth to climb up to the observatory (the view is worth, better to start from the left side) and also to make a small side trip to the small bamboo forest.

Visiting this place was an absolute beautiful sight to see. And not to mention the green tea ice cream, so yummy!!!! I would recommend this place and visit it again.

A lovely morning stroll through the Bamboo Forest with well kept pathways, lots of sign posts, plenty of rest area to soak in the serene atmosphere . Our route took about an hour, mostly gentle slopes with a few steps. Capped off the experience with a bamboo ice cream in the cafe, just past the gate. The flavour is a bit grassy and minty.

You could certainly feel refreshed and relaxed inside this bamboo forest. Soothing sound blowing bamboo leaves. We are very happy we made the 4 hours bus journey from busan to here. We managed to finish all the routes shown in the map. Take us around 3 hours slow walk + stop over at the cafe and photo time. Make sure to go all the way until the back door as there’s a huge garden with ponds which I find really interesting.

Juknokwon is a great place for anyone. The entire area is of course covered with bamboo but the trails are fun, some are difficult, and there are things for kids along the way. There is a lot of cool information, bamboo hammocks and seats to sit in and a playground. We also got ice cream and they had a lot of great flavors, chocolate, chocolate and vanilla, strawberry, blueberry, cheese, and even bamboo shoots. I tried the bamboo shoots I've cream and it was wonderful

Songgwangsa Temple

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Buddhist temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
The Songgwangsa Temple is a restored and active ancient Buddhist site that features numerous monuments, including a monastery and tomb. It is situated about an hour and 20 minutes away from Suncheon train station and can be accessed by taking the 111 bus, which arrives at intervals of approximately 45 minutes (the posted schedule provides further information). Additionally, travelers can opt to take the number 1 bus to visit another temple located on the opposite side of the area or hike between both locations.
It is the most amazing and beautiful place to come and rest, learn about Buddhist teachings, and find peace. Absolutely amazing monk Yeon Seong who explained the history and symbolism of Songgwamgsa, and his passion and dedication to help us through his teachings and Dharma talks (in Korean) was truly moving. The organizers of Templestay and the room were also fantastic. Highly recommend!

One of the most famous buddist temples in Korea. The temple is known for its long history, and many well-known monks have come from this place. However, from a tourist point of view, there are not many things to see considering the time required and traffic inconveniences. Nevertheless, the temple can be an interesting place for people who have never been to asian buddist temples before.

If you're down here from Pyeongtaek or Osan, I highly recommend seeing this place!

Was there on a templestay. Experienced the sounding of the 4 treasures in temple prior to the morning and evening prayer sessions. The surroundings are wonderful for hikes and walks and scenery is spectacular. Hikes are not refommended for those with any walking issues, however small, as some places could be challenging to tackle head-on.
Kelvin N — Google review
I enjoyed a hike around the temple but the temple itself was a little dissapointing. There are so many new buildings, cars parked everywhere that the atmosphere is more of a "lived in quarters" than a Joseon era temple. I think for example Buseoksa Temple was better, but that's just my opinion.

Nagan Eupseong Folk Village

Mentioned on

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Walking Areas
The museum, located in the Joseon-era fortress, offers a tour of traditional dwellings and buildings. It is a beautiful place to visit throughout the year as every season has its unique charm. Free entrance is available after 6 pm. The establishment showcases regional living habits and environment through various exhibitions and plays. It also features many shops where visitors can buy souvenirs or other items, but it's important to be courteous since Korean is spoken here.
If you are doing a road trip and in the neighborhood, definitely make your way here! It is kind of in the middle of nowhere so it might be difficult to reach if you don't have a car. This is a gorgeous traditional village and you can spend a few hours walking around here. It was also a film set for some Korean drama movies.

A pleasant stroll through a Joseon-era traditional Korean village. End it with a Korean pancake with honey filling, or for the more adventurous, boiled pupa.
Ming — Google review
We have been here numerous times and this time it was for the Folk Culture Festival. It was full but not overly crowded. There are traditional games, traditional performance and culture experiences. If you have been to Jeonju you might find this one exciting as well because it is more traditional. People still live in the houses so dont go in if the gates are closed. Open houses are usually for experience programs. You can go up the fortress and look at the village from above. Not so recommended if you bring a stroller or with an elderly cos the stone steps can be steep and uneven. Other than the fortress climb, the path is flat and easy. There are restaurants inside and on ordinary days you can eat there but unless you come early during the festival days, you have to wait at least an hour. We had lunch at one of the setup food tents nearby. Price was much cheaper and I would say quite tasty and you can find a seat easily. Spacious parking, affordable ticket price. Free if you are more than 65, under 7, have disability card. We had the fee 50% discount today, probably because of the festival. Overall is a good place to see what traditional life is about, especially for children.

We did a small road trip in South Korea from Busan and we made a stop in Suncheon for this area. It is a gorgeous wetland area and the nature is so beautiful. We did a big walk here and witnessed a wonderful sunset at the end. It was truly magical! It is worth the entrance fee, highly recommended!

Really lovely walk, can get a bit busy especially on the weekends, but worth a visit for sure. Great sunset is. I think it was 5,000 per person to get in, but I thought it was worth it. Could easily spend half a day or more there. Bikes to rent and boat rides too, but I didn’t do any of them.

Suncheon Bay Nature Reserve and Reed Field is a wonderful place to visit if you like the peace and quiet of nature. We started early and enjoyed walking around. This place is huge so be prepared to walk a lot. The reed field was beautiful in summer, very green. The birds, ducks, herons, crickets etc were all humming the entire time. The air was nice, crisp and clean. I enjoyed watching the crabs and mudfish interact in their natural habitat. We also hiked all the way up to the observatory. We saw a mountain cat too! The view there amazing! You can see the entire reserve. There's butteflied and caterpillars and even crabs up the mountain. There's also a restaurant serving coffee, desserts and lunch. For the meals, the ingredients were mostly sourced within the reserve so that's really cool. I would love to see this reserve in autumn when the colors change to browns and reds. It's also home to migratory birds so that would be nice.
Belle — Google review
Visiting the wetlands in Suncheon was such a cool experience. We spent a good 4 hours there. You can check out the bird museum, the planetarium and then walk through the wetlands. There's a bit of a hike to reach the multiple observation decks. The views from the top are incredible. Such a peaceful and beautiful outing in nature.

The Suncheon Bay National Garden is a vast and meticulously maintained garden complex that showcases creatively designed plant and flower displays with unique themes. Although the shops were closed during one visitor's afternoon visit, the garden was bustling with plenty of people entering and exiting. It's important to note that the entire place offers numerous photo opportunities, so it's wise to bring a bottle of water for hydration during your tour.
We visited this large garden in sunny weather in June. It's very big. It was hot. We took a small train to a nature reserve. I really liked it. we were very tired by the end.

Awesome~~ great park. So beautiful and hard to explain the beauty of the park. You can spend all day here and enjoy so many varieties of scenery. Took so many photos that I can't share all of them.

Incredibly wide, well maintained, absolutely gorgeous! The landscaping design is unique and beautiful. Staff members and volunteers were all friendly, which made our experiences much more special. It was drizzly, but we didn’t have any umbrellas. The people who were greeting at the gate led us to a place where we could rent umbrellas for free. They didn’t even ask for any identification; it was run on honor system. Excellent place to visit!

This garden has beautiful scenery as much as its size. The flowers swaying in the wind, the water currents, and even the warm breeze create an exotic atmosphere. Despite its large size, it is well managed. I want to go there again.

Buddhist temple

Geomosan Hyangilam, a serene Buddhist temple located on the edge of a forested cliff overlooking the vast ocean, boasts a picturesque terrace affording stunning views of the sea and neighboring islands. Accessible via a gentle twenty-minute uphill hike, this small yet charming temple offers an ideal spot for visitors seeking to immerse themselves in Buddhist culture while also enjoying breathtaking natural scenery. Its location amidst rocky cliffs and lush greenery makes it an excellent destination for those interested in both hiking and spirituality.
it's a bit of a steep climb up to the entrance but the views are breathtaking. the temple isn't very huge so i only spent ~1hr here. you can get to this place with bus 111, 111-1, 116. for bus 111 & 111-1, they also pickup and drop off at yeosu expo bus stop early in the morning if you stay in the area; check the timings in the image.

Nice little temple on the slope of a hill overlooking the sea. You get a really nice view over the sea when you actually climb up to the observation deck! Parking is an issue BUT there is a paid parking lot 500m down the hill. The temple is accessible with wheelchairs and strollers BUT it’s a steep climb. With a wheelchair or stroller you’ll have to follow the road which is a bit of a detour. However, keep in mind that with a wheelchair or stroller you won’t be able to access all the areas of the temple. Entrance to the temple is free! The short route to the temple are the stairs, otherwise follow the road.
Gerry G — Google review
You will need to hike straight up on stairs for about 20 min to reach the top from the parking lot. View is well worth it with a panoramic view. There are plenty of food options near the parking lot.
Kent M — Google review
It's a small temple with an amazing view onto the sea. The temple is sort of built right on top/almost within the rocks which creates a lot of little nooks, tunnels and caves which give it an extra special flair. The temple is high up, so be aware that there are quite a few steps to take. Also, if you're getting there by car, be aware that the road leading up to the temple entrance is very steep and narrow with almost no possibilities to park. You might want to park a bit further down.
Patricia S — Google review
Impressive views, about a 400 ft climb via stairs or a longer side road. Also, for people up to it, you can walk up the top of the mountain at 790 ft elevation through a steep stairs path up the mountain. Free entrance. Only coffee or tea are available once up at the temples.
David P — Google review
Hyangiram is among my favorite temples in Korea, and I'm excited every time I visit it. The stunning view of the blue sea melting with the blue sky is breathtaking. There is a free parking nearby and free entry (as of August 31st 2024) for visitors. The path to the top offers an interesting experience. This place should be on any traveler bucket list.
Melline G — Google review
1300+ yr old temple, if you take a taxi you will need to book it round trip and have them wait 1:30hrs as there's no taxi readily available. taxi will also take you closer but it's an extreme trek for the elderly and young. with a stroller be extra prepared to park and hold your young ones. having said that it's a beautiful temple that's the shape of a turtle (from Google map Satellite view) with a legend of a turtle that was trying to make it to the next life with lots of turtle reference around the temple.

Awesome attraction that takes you from one side of Yeosu over a tall hill to the main port. Views are fantastic from the car. You have a choice of a glass bottom one for a bit more or the standard car to cross over. Very reasonably priced and the wait time to board is very well managed. It is probably the #1 thing to do when in Yeosu.

A great way to see Yeosu, South Korea at night, but don’t go there too late since it will be too dark to see the scenic ocean and surrounding. Also, think about if you want to do a round trip ride, which we eventually decided wasn’t worth. Buying tickets at the kiosk was easy and quite affordable at this popular touristy landmark. A lot to see across the other side and a couple of places to get drinks and take selfies. We got there around 7:00~7:30 pm, but wished we arrived there a bit earlier… couldn’t see much when it got too dark. Overall, a nice experience on a cable car over Yeosu.

It was during weekdays, so we did not have to wait for cable cars. But on the way back, there was line up of people waiting to ride back from the island. Overall, it was short and sweet, especially because we rode it at the time of sunset and twilight. It was beautiful day.

Odongdo is a picturesque island located near Yeosu Expo that can be accessed by a bridge. The island boasts of an observation deck that offers stunning views and is known for its beautiful camellia blooms and bamboo groves. Visitors can explore the well-built boardwalk around the island which takes about an hour to complete, with several viewpoints offering breathtaking vistas of the surrounding landscape. One can also visit the lighthouse or enjoy sunrise views from designated spots on the island.
A small island connected by a road that's perfect for a short hike. The walk towards the island is not long but you can also take a transport there. The island is famous for blooming with with red camellia flowers. I was lucky enough to see the first few buds blooming. At the end of the hiking trail on the island, there is a cave which is known to be a home of a dragon. There were clean toilets along the hike and shops to buy snacks as well.

Jirisan National Park is a stunning natural haven that beckons adventurers with its majestic mountains and diverse wildlife. This expansive park offers challenging hiking trails, including the steep ascent to Cheonwangbong peak, which rewards trekkers with breathtaking views. Many visitors embark on multi-day hikes, staying in cozy shelters along the way while carrying their supplies. The experience can be demanding but is ultimately fulfilling as you immerse yourself in the pristine beauty of this mountainous landscape.
Completed the multi-day ridge hike solo from East to West, traversing Jirisan National Park in 3D2N as a foreigner. While I was hiking alone, I met several very nice hikers that offered food to me and we had very nice conversations. Definitely was not expecting this - I absolutely love the Korean hiking culture. I wrote a guide on how you could stay overnight on Korea's mountains/national parks on my blog/socials and more information on the hike from East to West (compared to the usual West to East route)! More @whereyiugoing on Instagram etc Thank you Jirisan National Park and the hikers for being so welcoming (despite the first two days of rain and foggy-ness) ✨

Jirisan is a massive, unforgiving, utterly brutal mountain to hike. And I loved every painstaking, and breathtaking moment of it. I unfortunately did not start at the beginning (miscommunication on my part) but somewhere in the middle which was Hadong village. The ascent to the trail as well as the ridge was challenging enough, but when you get to the peak, it gets darn near completely vertical. It's worth it though. Absolutely the best hike I have ever done!
D. P — Google review
The scenery of Jirisan National Park is breathtaking! It views are amazing, and it’s such a great place to go hiking! My friends and I did the full route for 4-day-long trip with 3 night in the shelters. It was an amazing experience, but also a little bit of a challenge, because we had to carry all our food in our backpacks during the whole trip, what accounted for around 7-10kg on our backs. But it was absolutely worth it!!! I do recommend it to anyone, even those who are not really into hiking, because this area can change your minds 😊💕

We went to Namhae for Oktoberfest and it was a lot of fun! When you arrive for this festival you park at the bottom of the hill and then they bus you to the top. There were a lot of tents selling food (pretzels, sausages, beer, ribs) and souvenirs. There were two large tents for entertainment and beer. There were a few things for kids to do- a small play area and a balloon artist. They had ice cream that was delicious! The village itself is very cute. I can see why people enjoy visiting here!

It does look like a small village in Germany. The entrance fee to the museum is okay and affordable. Everything in the museum is also labelled in German. Unfortunately the food variety is limited to sausages, pig's trotters, and beer. Still it was interesting to see!
Natalie F — Google review
A German town in Korea sounds very unique, but I personally think that was pretty much the whole extent of its character. Despite its history and name, I didn't find much resemblance of a Deutsche Berg. I guess this popular attraction transformed itself into a Korean attraction that sells a lot of food and items of German names. The whole town is surrounded by beautiful mountain landscape, but the much of Nam Hae island is beautiful. The food is nothing like the ones I tasted in Munich or Frankfurt. There was not enough parking and too many people. Everything was sooooo expensive. My family had some snacks, juice, and ice cream, took photos, and got out of there quickly. If you want to visit, keep your expectations low. Personally, I think you will find much more satisfaction with other parts in Nam Hae Island. Nevertheless, it will be a not so German Town in Korea experience.

There are old buildings from the 1500s that they were able to restore. The fortress is has the river on one side so the view from the pathways and gazebos there was beautiful. You can also see several memorials for the fallen heroes of the battle of Jinju. Stop by the museum to learn more. I would love to come back in October for the famous lantern festival.

Mireuksan Mountain, standing at 462 meters, is renowned for its panoramic views accessible from a lookout platform reached by stairs or a cable car. Designated as one of Korea's top 100 famous mountains, it is believed to be the future descent site of Maitreya Buddha. The mountain attracts around 1.2 million visitors annually who enjoy the country's only automatic circulation gondola, offering a thrilling 1,975-meter ride.
Amazing scenery. The walk to the summit is not too long. It was a little tiring in the heat but the steps contain jokes (in Korean) to entertain you as you climb. The area has multiple viewpoints to admire Tongyeong from afar as well as the surrounding islands. They’re really beautiful. We saw a black cat at the peak and also a whole litter of kittens.

Dongpirang Mural Village is a captivating maze of painted houses and alleys adorned with colorful murals of animals, flowers, and cartoon characters. Perched atop a hill overlooking the harbor, this charming village features shops and cafes nestled along winding alleys that lead to higher vantage points. The village's name, Dongpirang, refers to its location on the eastern hill in Tongyeong.
It was good but hard to park and drive around.

We have special experienced at Dongpirang village that is filled by painting all around. It's just like animation villige to us. In commemoration of our family trip, We paid about 50 dollars to a local artist and had him draw us. Also, We have enjoyed the nice view of Tongyoung, at the top of village. I hope you also have the special experience at Tongyoung if you come to South Korea.

Really charming village. A lot of art all around. Amazing view at the top. Cafes, restaurants, and even hostels. Public toilet. Not very convenient to park but it’s ok

Wonderful little area of town, hiking to the top brings you to a small temple and a beautiful surrounding view of the city. Make sure and go into the fish market as you make your way out to see the amazing selection of locally caught fish and sea life.

This village holds the traditional and cultural heritage that Tongyeong has to offer. The walls are painted with beautiful caricatures and the village has cute little cafes with an amazing view of the city lake in the center. The center of the village has a photo spot like any other place in Korea. A must visit if you are in Tongyeong.

Tongyeong Agenda 21 is the responsible association gathered people throughout the nation in order to paint murals on the wall of Dongpirang-gil street in October 2007. This hillside village on the sea became a new place, revitalised by the art. The house design and roads are unique too. The view overlooking sea of Gangguan Port is fantastic as well.
YF T — Google review
The sunset view over Tongyeong from the mural village is excellent. The sun sets just over the hills behind the town. The mural village takes approx 20 mins to walk through and there are many cafes and some small shops along the walk. Some of the art is great, some needs reworking due to aging but generally it’s a great site to visit Edie silly for the panoramic views over the city and surrounding areas. There are toilets along the route and parking at the bottom of the village.

걷는곳 계속 쭉 ~~ Mural Village. It is a place full of paintings on the walls of a small town. It is a pretty neighborhood with a view of the sea, where you can relax quietly, with cafes and small shops. You will have to walk for a long time, so please wear comfortable shoes.

Historic Park of Geoje POW Camp

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Historical place museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Historic Park of Geoje POW Camp is a museum that was once a Korean War prisoner camp. The exhibits and dioramas provide insight into the daily life of captives during wartime. The museum offers entertainment such as a zipline, making it an ideal destination for families and locals interested in learning about North-South Korea war times history. Although some information is available only in Korean, the displays engage visitors with an interesting presentation of historical events.
Actual Korean war POW camp built between two mountains on the Geoje island to discourage POW soldiers to try to escape. There are many relics and remakes covering the grounds. We went as a family with young kids, guide map suggested 1 hour but actually it will take about 1 day to see everything in details. There is a monorail, although a bit expensive but is worth the trip as it will take you up to the top of the mountain to see the whole island in 360 view. There is a bit of walk hike once there and bring a jacket as it will be really cold. Once you finish and return back down, you will go thru the musuem backwards. Optional costing extra and not included in the musuem entry fee, to pay at the individual exhibit entry door: - 4D movie theatre - VR virtual reality game - magic mirror There is a mobile app to download and listen to audio of each exhibit. I found because my andiord phone is not korea based, I cannot install the "Goeje POW 360 Go" app. I have to manually google for the apk file and manually install. Search for "거제 pow go 365 apk"
Leonard V — Google review
We just buy tickets at the entrance when we arrived. There's plenty of parking spaces at the front and there's no people there when we went in a weekend morning. The place is huge with loads of information to learn and explore about Korean war, their difficulties that we faced last time etc. For non-speaking Korean, it's a bit pain as you need to use the translate in order for you to read and understand and enjoy the whole thing as no information provided in English. We went there twice in a gap of maybe about 6-8months because the first time we went the cable car ride was closed. So the second time we went just to enjoy the cable car ride up and the view was amazing! Recommended to come at least once especially you're interested to know more about Korean war and history.
Maz — Google review
It’s definitely worth the visit if you like to learn more about the Korean war. This place is very informative but it lacks translation here and there. It could also use a little touch up to make it more attractive for the public. Problem: tickets are sold at the entrance via an automated system but it’s only in Korean! You can’t switch the language to English. Parking is not free and costs 2,000 Won. Entrance fee per adult is 7,000 Won Wheelchair accessible! Kid friendly.
Gerry G — Google review
Theme park with rather stereotypical dioramas scattered with historical photos and a variety of war items on display, some with no substantial connection to the camp. Unfortunately, the opportunity to develop a systematic didactical and scientific based approach has been missed leaving the visitors with a random caleidoscope of scattered facts. Also, the exhibits are not particularly well maintained.
S H — Google review
The Historic Park of Geoje POW camp site showcases a recreation of the camp conditions under which North Korean and Chinese POWs captured by UN forces during the 1950-53 Korean War lived under. A visit can take up an entire day, especially if you stop to look at the various exhibits in detail. Particular mention is made of how there were divisions between the prisoners (I.e. over the question of whether to be sent back to mainland China, to Taiwan, or a third state among the Chinese prisoners). If you've enjoyed the 2003 novel "War Trash", a visit to Geoje POW camp historic site will bring the scenes mentioned in the novel to life. A taxi here from Gohyeon bus terminal should cost you less than 6000 won. You can buy tickets at the main entrance - credit card or cash is fine. There is a food court on site - the building it is housed in also serves as the terminus for the monorail ride up to Gyeongsan. The monorail costs 18,000 won per pax and takes 30 minutes to go up/down respectively. Well worth riding - wear a jacket and use the restroom as the mountain summit is very cold.
Tk S — Google review
This place was more interesting than I though. If you're on this island give this place a try. Learn about Korean War, the prisoners and the hardships of war. Try the zipline and let children explore history in an easy way. If you have time (I didn't) take the monorail to the top of the mountain for an amazing view.
Melline G — Google review
Good place for family, especially local Korean. Good to know the history of North-South Korea war times, but some of the information is in Korean only. Even videos does not have any subtitles. The zipline was awesome too as not many museum kind of place have this kind of entertainment.
Eddie H — Google review
Maybe a little repetitive but nicely set out with English sub titles most of the way. Some interactive displays and some stuff especially for the kids. I visited on a sub freezing day in way off peak season and feel that the 7000 Won was well spent... There is also a zip line type ride and mini roller coaster at additional cost...

Yeojwacheon Stream

Yeojwacheon River is a stunning tourist attraction, adorned with cherry blossom trees that bloom seasonally. The river banks are embellished with art pieces and street food vendors, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll. The entire city is awash with the beauty of these cherry blossoms, creating a romantic ambiance in the air. Despite its popularity amongst tourists, the weekend can be quite busy.
Visited 2 April 2025. Just as beautiful as when I visited the first time in 2019. Lovely long stream with cherry blossoms canopy and decorations. This time, we had time to eat from the stalls set up for the festival.
Snoop E — Google review
At around 3pm on 25 March, 2025, our party of 12 people came. We didn’t see any cherry blossoms. What we saw was one of our members helping an elderly with her cart crossing a bridge where we posed for a group photo, it was so heartwarming.
Peter C — Google review
Absolutely worth visiting in Jinhae at any time during the cherry blossom season (and quite honestly there’s no much in the area for food, cafes and bars/karaoke at any time of the year). We decided to stay in Jinhae to have more flexibility and peace about visiting the stream and the whole suburb is covered in cherry blossom trees! There were more people around during the day on tours, but the lights reflect off the flowers and stream’s water at night, so really night is a completely new experience alongside the street food and stalls. It’s day 1 of the festival today and we will be back for the flowers in full blossom one day. We loved it here!
Jason T — Google review
I visited during the cherry blossom festival this year with a tour group and I would highly recommend the tour for this because I primarily travel with the the subway and this allowed me to take their bus to this location and back to Busan. It was also a good mix of guided / planned time and wandering around to investigate whatever peaked my interest. I travel solo and the rest of the tour group provided social interaction for a day which I enjoyed. I booked it on the Klook site and the name of it was "Jinhae Pink Cherry Blossom Festival Tour from SEOUL / BUSAN". There was plenty to do at this destination, snacks, photo ops, drinks, and local restaurants.
Tina — Google review
The Most Beautiful Place on Earth – Yeojwacheon Cherry Blossom Festival in Jinhae I had the absolute privilege of visiting Yeojwacheon during Jinhae’s cherry blossom season, and I can say without exaggeration—it is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. The entire stream was lined with endless rows of cherry blossoms, their petals dancing in the breeze like pink snow. The sight was breathtaking, something out of a dream or a movie scene. It’s no wonder people from all over the world found their way here. What amazed me the most was not just the scenery, but how international the atmosphere felt. I overheard languages from all over—English, Chinese, Japanese, French. It made me wonder: how did people from so many different countries hear about this hidden gem in Korea? It’s a testament to just how globally beloved the Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival has become. The crowds were large, yet everyone seemed to be in a peaceful and joyful mood, taking in the natural beauty with wide eyes and camera phones constantly snapping. What’s even more remarkable is that it wasn’t just Yeojwacheon that was celebrating—the entire district of Jinhae felt like a massive, vibrant festival. Every street was decorated, food stalls were everywhere, local music filled the air, and people wore smiles that reflected the joy of spring. It felt like the whole city had come alive to celebrate the arrival of cherry blossoms. I’ve traveled to many places, but Jinhae during cherry blossom season is something else entirely. It’s not just a place to take pretty photos—it’s a place to feel wonder, to share beauty with strangers, and to be reminded of how magical nature can be. I can’t recommend it enough. If you ever get the chance, this is an experience you don’t want to miss.

Worth the travel and anticipation, everything was truly magical! 🌸🌸🌸 The Cherry Blossom Festival was an enchanting experience that beautifully captured the essence of spring. The trees were in full bloom, creating a breathtaking canopy of pink and white petals that seemed to stretch endlessly across the park. The atmosphere was vibrant yet peaceful,l everyone was coming together to celebrate the fleeting beauty of the blossoms. The sense of both locals and tourists were astounding. Everyone was in high spirits, sharing smiles and conversations with strangers, all united by the beauty of the blossoms. The festival did get quite crowded, especially in the afternoon, making it difficult to find a good spot for viewing the trees or participating in some of the activities. Arriving early is definitely recommended to fully enjoy the experience.

Chloe C — Google review
To anyone looking for a place to enjoy, relax and feel the spring vibe (especially for people living in a tropical country like me where there is only hot, hotter, and hottest type of weather), this river is the right one for you. We went there during the full bloom season of cherry blossoms and my experience is priceless. It was raining in the evening upon our arrival but it only added to the mood that I was feeling - excited. The river is a long one so make sure to see all the stops there and the food stalls around it sells tasty and affordable korean dishes. There are various coffee shops available too for any coffee lover out there so you won't have to worry about that. Make sure to come and visit this river of you happen to be in Jinhae and let me know what you felt.

Nature & Wildlife Areas
Upo Wetlands is a vast inland marshland renowned for its exceptional flora and fauna, including prickly lotus flowers and oriental white storks. The wetlands are an ideal location to witness stunning sunsets while enjoying the tranquil environment. For visitors who wish to explore the area, renting a bicycle from the entrance is recommended since it provides ample time (2 hours) to tour around.
I really enjoyed visiting Upo Wetland. I had no idea they existed before my visit. It is extremely child, family and couple-friendly. The most exciting activity here is the bike rental. Upo Wetlands spans over 200 hectares so you can really get your cardio in! The views are pretty, especially in autumn when I went. There is also a beautiful museum near the entrance. On one of the trails, there is an observation deck where you can see the wetlands from high up as well as have a look at the different endangered species the wetlands comprise of. Definitely a must-see.
Melissa L — Google review
I went here with friends and loved strolling around this park to enjoy nature. Such a peaceful place to relax and walk around. A bike rental shop will be at the front of the park. I suggest renting a bike so you can explore the whole park, which is enormous. My friends and I rented a few cycles (some even rented tandem bikes), which was a lovely experience. There's so much wildlife in this park and beautiful birds. Many people come here to go bird-watching, so you'll see a bunch of photographers. In the center of the park, there's a history museum where you can learn about the wetland and the animals that inhabit the ecosystem. There's also a cute cage filled with rabbits, LOL. Definitely family-friendly.

I went here for a day trip from Daegu on Friday afternoon to see the sunset, it was calm and nice to be around the whole swamp.

This is the location of the largest inland wetlands in South Korea. It is also a paradise for many varieties of ducks. There for it is well worth the visit. There is a road around the lakes and grasslands that makes the visit very easy by car. The best way to visit is with a bicycle as one cannot park at all the locations near to the lake edge. I highly visiting in the Spring and Fall. That is the time when it is teeming with wildlife. In late October there were large flights of ducks and geese and cranes flying over the area and landing for a rest. There are also paths where one can walk amount the high grass and get very close to the wildlife. I also noted a few blinds where one can use their telephoto lens and really acquire excellent close ups of the ducks and geese. If you like pond and lake life this is one of the best locations in South Korea to experience this. We took the train to Daegu and rented a car and drove for about one half hour to this location. Recommend that you set aside at least two hours as there is so much to see. Also there are flat bottom boats that are available for experiencing all away from the shore. Do go there and enjoy this paradise!

Gyeonghwayeog station is a small railway stop in South Korea, adjacent to Seongjusa and Jinhae stations. Although trains have not stopped at this station since February 2015, it remains standing as a popular tourist spot due to its association with cherry blossom season. The delicate pink blooms line the tracks and nearby areas, providing a wonderful view for visitors.

(Translated by Google) The exact place I went to was Rainbow Hotel,, The entire area is filled with the same facilities. It's the same atmosphere wherever you go. Perhaps because it was vacation, the kids room was almost booked even though it was a weekday. I had no choice but to use a slightly oversized room. The price is a bit high compared to the facilities, but if you have a large family, It's a size and satisfaction that I think I'll use again. There are three large beds on the first floor and a large bed on the upper floor, so children can have fun, and the family bath is the size of a local public bathhouse. It's half the size. It's really big. Next time, I'll take my parents with me. The bathtub is so big that I want to bring my younger brother's family. Haha. It's just a local motel facility with a large public bath and a hot spring!!! Cooking is not possible, but there are many restaurants nearby. There are places to eat jjamppong, so I had a hot and enjoyable time.

Dadaepo Beach is a charming destination in Busan, known for its sandy shores and refreshing waters. It's a great place to indulge in water activities and relax by the sea. The beach offers various water sports and games, making it perfect for a fun-filled day out. Situated in the southwest of the city, Dadaepo Beach is less crowded than other beaches, making it an ideal spot for families seeking a peaceful retreat.
Great place to relax and chill at for a nice calming walk during the cold winter. Will highly recommend if you’re going out of the way. Also, it’s much quieter than haeyundae beach due to the distance away.

Dadaepo Beach is a beautiful beach with fine sand and a very peaceful atmosphere. The wide view of the sea is stunning, especially during sunset when the sky is painted in warm colors. The area is perfect for long walks, and there is a large promenade with seating areas to unwind. A special highlight is the Dadaepo Sunset Fountain of Dreams, a water show with music and lights that creates a magical evening ambiance. A perfect place to escape the city, enjoy nature, and simply relax!

Dadaepo Beach is in the mouth of Nakdong River and has actually two beaches, eastside and westside, and has a little island named Molundae in the middle of two beaches. Molundae is good for walking. Dadeapo Beach is very famous for sunset but a less known famous in Busan city. There are many activities in every season. You can walk on the sand even in the winter because the weather and the water temperature are good.

After checking in and while passing through security clearance, two bags of kimchi couldn’t be carried on board and we surrendered them. After security clearance, we went to a tax refund counter to get cash refund (in won, yen or US$) and then used some of the refund to buy kimchi again at Lotte Duty Free. We’re content.

Pretty crazy that an international airport in a first world country, like South Korea is only open for set times. definitely a first for me, My spouse and others had to sleep or wait outside the airport with mosquitoes. Especially for tourist who have certain allocated checkout times. Seen better in 3rd world countries.

Please take note that the Gimhae International Airport is not open 24 hours a day. It is closed at 11.00pm and reopens at 4.30am everyday. Passengers cannot sleep at the airport to catch an early morning flight. The best option would be to sleep in a hotel in Sasang, a nearby town, and take the first LRT train at 5.00am to the airport. Checking in and going through the security screening is smooth and efficiently done here.

I was genuinely surprised and disappointed by the experience at Busan’s Gimhae International Airport. The lines were extremely long and moved painfully slowly — from check-in to security to immigration. The entire process felt disorganized and inefficient, and it took far longer than it should have. For a country as developed and technologically advanced as South Korea, this level of service is far below expectations. There was little communication or guidance, and the lack of staff only made things worse. Travelers were visibly stressed and confused, and there didn’t seem to be any urgency to improve the flow. I sincerely suggest the airport authorities look to countries like Singapore as a benchmark. Despite handling a much larger volume of passengers, Singapore’s Changi Airport operates with such speed and efficiency that you almost never have to wait in line. It’s a world-class example that Gimhae Airport could learn a lot from. Busan deserves a better international gateway, one that truly reflects the modernity and efficiency South Korea is known for.

This is a far below normal standard airport. Upon arrival of three flights in the morning, there is only one single immigration counter open for foreign passports. Korean passports using the e-gates still enjoy another three manual counters for pretty much no crowd. End up waiting 1.5 hours for 30 pay ahead of me to be cleared. Plus point though, the airport is clean.

Relatively small airport with one large duty free shop. There are several lounges, and it is clean. The gates are easy to find and there are lots of seats. One negative thing is that the security line requirements are a bit misleading. They told us we need to hand carry our battery packs, but they didn’t check that at security. Not sure what we were supposed to do, but it was fine.

Sure it might not be open 24hrs like almost every ither airport, but you know what? You can buy booze and food at street prices past the immigration terminal, and that's a massive win in my books. Probably my favourite airport.

Arrival custom, absolutely chaos. No clear direction where to queue, everyone just squeeze each other and hope for best. All the officer sit there and do nothing to direct the chaos. Queuing for 2 or 3 or 4 hours is frustrating, but how about if visitor don't even know where the queue start?? So much for international airport in developed country, awesome.

Very cool place with lots of potential. Wall and structure need refresh - it's very humid inside the tunnel

Interesting place to walk around. They make persimmon wine which can be bought at the shop in the tunnel. Some fun photo opportunities. Great place to visit as part of a day out.

Nice little place to spend some time. Go early when there aren't a lot of people. Would be much better in the fall with the leaves changing colours, no doubt. Was a nice way to get out of the city for a few hours.

You now have to pay to enter but you can walk all the way through. Tried some wine & chocolate. Love dried persimmons.

Worth checking out if you're in the area! There is an extra section towards the end of the tunnel where you have to pay a donation/fee to enter. I think it was about 2-3,000 won, so not very expensive but there wasn't too much more to see. The persimmon wine was quite sweet, as you'd expect. They also sold CHEESE at a little stand which I was quite happy about because it was hard to come by cheese living in Cheongdo :P This place would be perfect for a date or just to go with friends.

It was a good place for a date. The tunnel was chilling and good enough to escape from heat in summer. There is local wine and after tasting you can buy it. Nice place for phote shoot if i add.

Peaceful quiet Buddhist temple where you can take a leisurely stroll around. There's some cafes here that sells snacks and drinks. Sometimes they have night markets too.

A beautiful Unesco world heritage destination. The temple itself is quite large and I was lucky enough to hear a prayer during my time there. The walking path to the temple (if you don't have a car) is about 1.2km and is a very easy walk along the river. There were quite a few people when I went but other than that it was a good time. Entrance fee for adults is 3,000 won

History is a virtue and should never be forgotten. 457 years of history lies at this very place. It is the second largest Buddhist temple shrine in South Korea. This place feels very holy and rich with culture and is visibly shown in the architecture. Please visit this site when you are in Korea.
