Changwon City Museum
Gyeongsangnam-do(Changwon-si)

Nestled at the hillside of Chusan-dong where one can see the entire view of Changwon-si, Moonshin Art Museum houses Moon Shin’s art pieces and keeps his spirit intact. The artist resided in France for many years, returning to his hometown in 1980, and worked hard to establish the museum throughout 15 years. The museum finally opened in 1994 after his endless effort. Unfortunately, Moon Shin died one year after opening the museum, donating the museum to his loving hometown in his will. Following his will, the Moonshin Art Museum was donated to Changwon-si in 2003 and has since been operating as a city gallery. Changwon-si also established Moonshin Round Museum in October 2010, exhibiting 116 Moonshin plaster circle art pieces. Moonshin Art Museum is comprised of Exhibition Hall 1 & 2, outdoor exhibition hall and Moonshin Round Museum, showcasing a total of 3,900 pieces, including plaster round pieces, sculptures, drawing, tools, paintings, oil-paintings and keepsakes.

Oeam Village
Chungcheongnam-do(Asan-si)

It was about 500 years ago when people first settled in Oeam Village. The landscape is a combination of towering jangseung (village guardian totem poles), sotdae (wooden poles with a carved bird on top), thatch-roofed houses and hanok buildings. This rural village is a place where visitors can experience traditional customs and participate in hands-on programs. Formed when the Yi family from Yean settled here, the village is nestled at the base of Gwangdeoksan and Seolhwasan Mountains. Once a simple farming village, Oeam has now become a cultural village offering various programs and activities to both locals and tourists. Many of the buildings are thatch-roofed houses, and the traditional technique of thatching has passed down in the village until today. About 20 houses now function as accommodation facilities with capacities ranging from 5 to 15 guests, depending on the size of the hanok. The village has a 6.5-kilometer stone wall that incorporated rocks removed from earth when the village was being formed. Persimmon and ginkgo trees can be found all around the village. There is also an old zelkova tree that’s about 600 years old. Because of its outstanding value, the village was designated as Important Folklore Cultural Heritage No. 236. 30 hands-on programs are available for visitors interested in experiencing folk cultures.

Compared to other beaches, it has small pebbles, "Mongdol" in Korean, spans a distance of about 1.2 km, is 50m wide and covers a 30,000 ㎢ area starting from Yongbawi Rock. The feeling one gets when walking on these pebbles is soothing and the sound of the waves are refreshing. You can also soothe your feet when you walk on the rocks and activate acupressure points on the soles of your feet. The wild camellia forest, which blooms along the seashore in February and March, creates a beautiful landscape. You can also see the Parlsaek (8 color) birds that come here. These colorful birds can be seen from June to September.Hakdong Mongdol Beach has a lot of summer visitors and is the perfect place for vacationing families. The water is clear and clean, and setting up tents on the beach is possible.Near the beach, there are not only great restaurants specializing in sliced raw fish, but also restrooms and homestays which are well-equipped. There is also a beach festival every summer. An excursion ship starts at Hakdong and cruises towards Haegeumgang and Oedo Paridise Island. It would be romantic to take this ship through the crimson Haegeumgang at sunset.
