Yeonpo Beach

Chungcheongnam-do(Taean-gun)

Located on the Taean Coast, Yeonpo Beach has been a desired vacation spot since 1972. The long stretch of curved sandy beach provides magnificent scenery. It is famous as the beach with the longest period of seasonal operation in the country thanks to its relatively high water temperature resulting from the warm currents. The pine groves and oddly shaped rocks along the coastline make for a fine view.

KKULJUDANG(Korean Traditional Liquor Atelier)

Incheon(Dong-gu) , Incheon Center

The Alchemist of Incheon: Brewing Culture at "Kkuljudang (Korean Traditional Liquor Atelier)" (Where a "Liquor Artist" Transforms Rice into Golden Memories in the Historic Baedari District) Incheon, South Korea — In the fast-paced world of travel, Incheon is often seen merely as a gateway—a city of terminals and transit. But for the discerning traveler willing to venture just beyond the airport, a profound cultural treasure awaits in the nostalgic alleys of Baedari. Welcome to Kkuljudang (Korean Traditional Liquor Atelier), the only operating traditional brewery in Incheon’s Dong-gu district. It is more than a bottle shop; it is a Traditional Liquor School and a sanctuary of fermentation where the history of Korea is brewed, bottled, and taught. The Masterpiece: "Geumchang Makgeolli" (2025 Grand Prize Winner) The soul of Kkuljudang (Korean Traditional Liquor Atelier) is its signature brew, Geumchang Makgeolli. This is not the mass-produced rice wine found in convenience stores; it is a work of art that captivated the judges to win the Grand Prize (Best Takju) at the 2025 Korea Liquor Awards within just one year of its launch. • The Philosophy of Purity: It is a Sungokju (Pure Grain Wine), crafted using nothing but rice, water, and Nuruk (traditional fermentation starter). • The Process: While commercial brands rush production, Kkuljudang waits. The liquor undergoes a labor-intensive "Sam-yang-ju" process (brewed three times) followed by two months of fermentation and aging. • The Taste Profile: By intentionally lowering the sugar content of the rice, the brew achieves a sophisticated structure. It is dry yet subtly sweet, with surprising notes of banana and vanilla emerging naturally from the rice—without a single drop of artificial flavoring. As the owner describes, it is designed to be "a drink you can enjoy deeply," with a clean finish that beckons the next sip. The Sustainable Gourmet: Upcycled Pairing For a complete sensory journey, we recommend the Geumchang Makgeolli Gift Set. It pairs the award-winning wine with a unique culinary innovation: Upcycled "Jigemi" Snacks. Made from the nutrient-rich rice lees left over from brewing, these snacks (available in Sweet & Salty or Spicy flavors) represent the atelier's commitment to sustainability. They are best enjoyed in the beautiful "Moon Cup" (Dal-jan), which mimics the image of a full moon floating in your drink. The Experience: Become a Brewer for a Day Kkuljudang (Korean Traditional Liquor Atelier) invites you to stop being a spectator and start being a creator. The venue operates as a Traditional Liquor School, offering programs ranging from professional 15-week master classes to accessible One-Day Classes perfectly suited for travelers. • The One-Day Brewing Class: This is an unmissable itinerary for visitors. Under the guidance of the master brewer, you can learn to make Danyangju (single-brew rice wine), the foundation of Korean liquor. It is a hands-on experience where you touch the grain, smell the yeast, and understand the science of fermentation. • Hyangeumjurye (Drinking Etiquette): Beyond brewing, guests can learn the traditional Korean etiquette of drinking, adding a layer of cultural depth to the tasting experience. The Artisan: The "Liquor Artist" The vision behind Kkuljudang (Korean Traditional Liquor Atelier) belongs to CEO Na Yoon-kyung, who prefers the title "Liquor Artist" (Sul-Jakga). Her journey began with a fascination for vinegar—the natural progression of fermented alcohol—which led her to the world of traditional brewing. "Just as a painter creates with a brush, I create flavors through living microorganisms. I can make the liquor sweet or bitter, orchestrating the life within the bottle," says Na. Her dream is to revitalize the old downtown of Incheon, turning it into a "playground for brewers" where warmth and culture flow as freely as the wine. The Ultimate Layover: A Transit Tour Destination The atelier has a clear mission for the international traveler: "Don't just pass through Incheon; taste it." Located conveniently for those coming from Incheon International Airport, it serves as an ideal Transit Tour destination. Instead of waiting in a terminal, spend your layover in a historic brewery. Make your own makgeolli, taste the award-winning vintage, and carry the scent of Korea with you to your next destination.

The 150-meter waterway from Somaemuldo Island to Deungdaesum Island is where the miracle of Moses takes place. Two islands are connected with a gravel road twice a day when the tides ebb.
