Jeollanam-do(Naju-si)

Naju Geumseonggwan Hall was a state-run guesthouse for government officials during the Joseon period. It was the venue for ceremonial praise rituals for the king, taking place on the first and 15th of each month, as well as banquets held in honor of visiting dignitaries. The building was constructed sometime between 1475 and 1479. The building was remodeled during the Japanese occupation, but was restored to its original design in 1977. It is currently registered as Jeollanam-do Important Cultural Heritage No. 2. There are a number of other cultural heritages located in the nearby vicinity.


Jeju-do(Seogwipo-si) , Seogwipo

Seogwang Tea Garden, located in Seogwipo-si, Jeju, is known as the most well managed and largest tea plantation in Korea. Here, the tea leaves receive just the right amount of sun for it to be made into the highest quality product. Occupying an area 528,928m², the green field is spread out across the slopes of Seogwangseo-ri, attracting many visitors to the site. The fields didn't use to be this green though; the ground was rocky and the soil composition wasn't fertile enough for plants to survive. Seogwang Tea Garden's transformation from a barren land to a lush green plantation became a good example of successful agriculture in the mountain areas. The garden was also where Kim Jeong-hui (pen name Chusa), one of the most celebrated practitioners of calligraphy in the Joseon Dynasty, spent his life of exile growing tea plants.


Gangwon-do(Pyeongchang-gun)

One of the most well known sites to rafting maniacs is the Geumdang Valley of Pyeongchanggang River. It is a 5km course along Mt. Geumdangsan and Mt. Geomunsan from the Deungmaeji Village, which is at the upper stream, to Baegam-dong. The current of water is strong enough from the beginning that one does not necessarily have to row, and the water volume is high. The launching point of a proper Geumdang rafting course is from where you can see Mt. Geumdangsan rising behind the riverside, and finish at Baegam-dong. The water is clean and there are sandbanks sporadically, which are adequate for taking breaks. The water stream of Geumdang Valley joins with that of Pyeongchanggang River past Gaesuri. Pyeongchanggang River is a perfect fishing site for Mandarin fish, Korean piscivorous chubs, and Daces.

Hangnimsa Temple was built to serve Buddhist nuns. While its origin is unknown, it is said to have been built undernear the Hakbawi Rock on Seohaksan Mountain about 600 years ago. The temple had deteriorated over time, but was rebuilt in April 1965 and renamed Anyangsa. The name changed again to Hangnimsa after the Daeungjeon Hall and the dormintory were rebuilt in 1985.  


Jeollabuk-do(Jeongeup-si)

Located close to Munpilbong Peak, Yeonjabong Peak is named for its resemblance to the tip of a brush. Legend has it that writers who visit the peak will receive inspiration and become famous. Visitors can take a 5-minute cable car ride to reach the peak, where they will find a two-storey octagonal observatory.


Busan(Saha-gu)

Eulsukdo Island is located 7km to the west of Busan City Hall. Located in the lower Nakdonggang River estuary, Eulsukdo Island was once the largest seasonal bird migration site in Asia, with perfect conditions for seasonal birds including a field of reeds and water plants, and ample fish and shellfish for birds to feed upon. In 1983, construction at the river's estuary submerged about half of the reed field on the island, reducing the amount of bird habitat. In 1996, the island was designated as Natural Monument #179. Despite the past environmental damage, Eulsukdo Island remains a paradise for hundreds of thousands of birds and is known as a beautiful tourist attraction around the world. It is an amazing sight to see rare species of birds like white-naped cranes, spoonbills, and white-tailed eagles as they arrive and spend the winter.


Gangwon-do(Taebaek-si)

Taebaek Sangjang-dong Mural Village, also called “Nambu Village”, is located in Sangjang-dong, Taebaek-si as the name refers. The village has been improved upon by residents who volunteered and shared their artistic talents to participate in Taebaek-si’s new village movement in 2011. Each alley throughout the village gives a unique and refreshing ambience that created a turning point in the village. Also, valuable events such as ‘Yeontan (briquette) painting contest’ are held for students and families to participate in and share their warm hearts. The Central Inland Region Train (O-Train), which began operating as of April 12, 2013 by Korail, stops in Taebaek-si, so tourists can easily reach the mural village via train.
