2025 Jeollanam-do Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

This garden is one of South Korea’s largest, featuring expansive flower fields, walking paths, and eco-friendly exhibits. The rolling hills in the background of your image could match the terrain surrounding Suncheon Bay, which is a popular tourist destination in Jeollanam-do. Famous for its Green Barley Field Festival and other agricultural events, Gochang also hosts seasonal flower fields that attract visitors. The rows of flowers could resemble scenes from this area during spring or autumn flower festivals. #southkorea #koreatrip #travel #100waysoftravel

Daffodil Island, Seondo🌼 I thought there would be too many people at the organic houses, so I coolly passed this year too- I really wanted to go to Shinan Daffodil Island since last year! The buildings are all yellow, so they're so cute ˃̵͈̑ᴗ˂̵͈̑ The festival was canceled this year as expected due to COVID-19, but the flowers are in full bloom and filling the island💛💛 This is a photo I took on April 10th It was just starting to bloom, and there were still some places that weren't in full bloom yet! If you're planning a trip to Jeollanam-do, you should definitely go😉 #springtrip #springout #shinantrip #daffodils

#Sunset Spot #Good Place to Take Pictures Okdo is an island that you can reach by boat from Mokpo, and there are almost no tourists, so you can travel quietly. It is a very small island, so I recommend traveling by bicycle, and the water is clear, so it looks good for swimming. It is nice to be able to enjoy the beautiful sea and clean natural environment, and the clear sky. It is a small island without a single restaurant, so I recommend a half-day trip! It is also good for camping.

Durun Mountain, which I visited when I traveled to Haenam, Jeollanam-do. Many people visit Durun Mountain because you can ride the Haenam Cable Car. You can see the wide open view while going up the mountain by cable car! And when the cable car arrives, there is a store, and if you drink the soup with the fish cakes sold there, it is really the best ㅠ I went there in early winter, and the slope was not too steep and the hiking trail was well-made with stairs, so it was easy to hike. I recommend it to those who want to go to a low mountain. ㅎ #Jeollanam-do travel #Haenam travel #Youth travel #Autumn travel destination #View restaurant #Walking course #Suburban travel #Travel addiction #Feeling emotional #Life travel destination #Everyday life like a trip #Mountain #Hiking course #With nature

The Suncheon Drama Set has now disappeared, but it still retains the appearance of the 1960s and 1980s! It is also famous as a filming location for many dramas, such as East of Eden, Giant, and Baker King, Kim Tak Goo. ㅎㅎ Inside, there are nostalgic games such as tag, marbles, and dung-ta-ga, as well as notes, junk food, and old arcade games🎮! Although it is a set, it is decorated so realistically that you will think, ‘Is this what it would be like if I went back in time?’ You can also borrow old school uniforms, so it was fun and great for a friendship trip with friends. ෆ #SuncheonTravel #MemoriesForSale #YouthTravel #ThemeTravelDestination #FriendshipTravel #SuncheonTravelDestination #PlacesToVisitInSuncheon #SuncheonDramaSet

On the way back to Seoul after finishing my trip to Damyang, I stopped by because I had some time left. I want to introduce you to Baekyangsa Temple, which is so beautiful and memorable! 📍Location: 1239 Baekyang-ro, Buk-myeon, Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do First of all, the path from the parking lot to the entrance, the flowing stream and the pavilion on top of it were so beautiful (I regret that I can't upload it because I only recorded it in a videoㅠㅠ) and the spectacular view of Naejangsan Mountain beyond the temple as I went up was so overwhelming! It was such a beautiful place with traces of people coming and going and flowers blooming here and there. 🍂 They say it's even prettier when the leaves change color, so I hope I can go again this fall☺ #JeonnamTravel #RecreationTravel #Temple #Baekyangsa #FallFoliageTravel #AutumnTravel #LifeTravelDestination #FeelEmotional #SafeTravel

📍Suncheon Bay National Garden: 47, National Garden 1-gil, Suncheon-si, Jeollanam-do (Adults 8,000 won, children 4,000 won / Naver reservation discount available) Hadong, where Hwagae Market is located, which crosses Jeolla-do and Gyeongsang-do, allows you to travel to Jeolla-do by crossing a bridge. I quickly arrived at Suncheon Bay National Garden after driving hard. I went there once as a child to experience the ecology, so everything was new to me. Suncheon Bay National Garden is really huge, and there are themed gardens by country. There are European-style gardens such as French and Dutch gardens, as well as gardens from various countries such as Japan and Mexico. In addition, the wide-open lake view is refreshing🙌🏻 It was very hot when I went, but if you visit in cool weather like these days, it would be really nice to leisurely look around and take a walk! There is a souvenir shop at the garden exit, and I fell in love with the world's hip straw hats :) I recommend listening to Juke Ross's 'Fresh Rose' while walking around the garden💕 #SuncheonTravel #InTheForest #EuropeanFeeling #DateCourse #SuncheonHotPlace #NationalGarden #Walking #TripMoment #JingleJingle🦻🏻 #MusicRecommendation #jukeross_freshrose #VacationTravel #WithNature

📍Jeonnam Suncheon, Suncheon Bay National Garden I went on a trip with my family in the spring of 2019! It's already been more than 2 years🤣 One of the places I went was Suncheon Bay National Garden. It was so much bigger than I thought...! I couldn't even see everything😆 Since I went in the spring, there were rape blossoms in full bloom💕 When I saw the rape blossoms, I thought it was a good idea to go in the spring👏🏻👏🏻 #SuncheonTravel #InTheFlowerFlowerFlower #FamilyTravel #Garden #RapeBlossoms #RapeBlossomField

Places to visit in Sunchang, Jeollabuk-do Chaegyesan Suspension Bridge It connects Chaegyesan in Jeokseong and Chaegyesan in Donggye, which are divided by National Road No. 24. That's why Chaegyesan Suspension Bridge is also called 'Love Ojakgyo' The suspension bridge is made of iron plates that allow you to see the bottom of the bridge. It's so long that if you stand in the middle of the bridge, the bridge will shake, but the view of the Seomjin River and the fields you see while crossing the suspension bridge is so beautiful that you'll forget your fear. #Jeollabuk-do #Sunchang #Chaegyesan Suspension Bridge #Places to visit in Korea

🔸Suncheon Drama Set ✔️Location- 24 Byeokgol-gil, Suncheon-si, Jeollanam-do ✔️Operating hours- 9:00~18:00 If you rent an old school uniform and take a picture at the Suncheon Drama Set, you can completely travel back in time~~ If you go on a family trip, it would be a great travel destination for both parents who reminisce about those days and children who experience a time they never experienced☺️ If you go with a friend or lover, you can rent it together and take pictures to increase the novelty #SuncheonTravel #BackInTheDays #PhotoZone #SuncheonTravelDestination #SuncheonDramaSet #SuncheonDramaFilmingSite #SuncheonTravelRecommendation #DomesticTravel

When you think of 'Boseong', what comes to mind first? I think it's probably green tea fields! But did you know that there's also an ocean in Boseong? Although I went when the tide was out and only saw the mudflats, today I'm going to recommend a 2-day, 1-night Boseong + Gwangju travel course! 🍵🌿#GreenLeavesUnfoldingWorld -613 Nokcha-ro, Hoecheon-myeon, Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do Isn't the name pretty? 'GreenLeavesUnfoldingWorld' operates a pension and a cafe together. There are other famous green tea fields in Boseong, but there are so many people there that you can't see them properly! However, here, you can comfortably enjoy the wide green tea field view.ㅎㅎ Be sure to try the green tea ice cream! If you take a bus from Boseong Station, you can get off right in front! 🌊🏝#Yulpo Beach -544-13 Dongyul-ri, Hoecheon-myeon, Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do If you've enjoyed the green tea field view, now it's time to enjoy the ocean view! Likewise, you can take a bus from the cafe to get thereㅎㅎ Isn't this a truly tailor-made travel destination for backpackers!? Although I went when the tide was out and only saw the mudflatsㅠㅠ If you time it right, you can see the beautiful ocean. Be sure to check the tide before you go! 🏨#AirbnbRecommendation -12 Songjeong-ro 51beon-gil, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Since Boseong doesn't have a good place to stay, we came back to Gwangju and stayed for one night. It felt like a waste to stay overnightㅎㅎ However, I found a really good place to stay, so I recommend it. It's called 'PiPiPlane' near Songjeong Station. If you take the train from Boseong and get off at Songjeong Station, it's a 10-minute walk away! The accommodation is not that big, but it was really comfortable and pleasant for 4 people! The feeling is a bonusㅎㅎ There is an attic and a beam, so I came back very healing! I recommend it as an Airbnb in Gwangju! #Boseong travel #Gwangju travel #Green tea field #Travel course recommendation #Travel sickness #With nature

A thousand-year-old temple in Suncheon, this place that blends in with beautiful nature is Songgwangsa Temple in Jogyesan Mountain! You can get there directly from Suncheon Station via bus no. 111, so I recommend it to backpackers too!! #DomesticTravel #Songgwangsa #SuncheonTravel #LifeTravelDestination #LifeShotSpot #jhtour

[ 🌿The prettiest view in Boseong is right here! ] While taking pictures of other destinations, I found a pretty green tea field and stopped by for a while : ) The weather was nice, so I could see the ocean in the distance, just my style! 👍 There was a cafe called World of Green Leaves right next to it, but there were so many people that I couldn't stop by!! If you sit on the outdoor terrace on a nice day, and drink tea while looking at the scenery, it'll be really healing💚🍃 If you go to Boseong on a nice day, this is a must-see ~~☺ It's also close to Gwangju, so for those of you who live in Gwangju, how about a day trip?! ✅ Address: 4-3 San, Yeongcheon-ri, Hoecheon-myeon, Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do #BoseongTravel #GreenTeaField #GwangjuSuburbs #SuburbTravel

Let me introduce you to two travel destinations in Jeollanam-do! 1,2: Juknokwon. You can see countless bamboo trees and the beauty of nature. The pavilions in the middle are also in the style of Hanok, which adds to the charm. It's best to lie on the pavilion and listen to the sound of the wind passing through the bamboo trees :) 3,4: Boseong Green Tea Fields. These are green tea fields formed in terraces. The view of the green tea fields from the top down was spectacular. On a nice day, the bright sunlight made the green tea fields look even greener! If you're traveling to Jeollanam-do, I recommend these two places for a healing trip. #DamyangTravel #BoseongTravel #DomesticTravel #YouthTravel #TravelWithUs #I'mHereNow #LifeShotPlace #BoseongGreenTeaFields #Juknokwon

#summervacay Took a little adventure out to Saseongam in Gurye, and let me tell you, it’s got that perfect mix of peaceful and wow. The trail up the mountain starts off mellow, winding through forest paths with birds chirping and that fresh countryside air. It’s not too tough, but there are some stairs and rocky bits that'll make your legs earn those views. As you climb, it just keeps getting better, views of Jirisan in the distance, little lanterns along the way, and then you arrive at Saseongam Temple. It’s tucked right into the cliffside like it grew out of the rock. Total zen zone. The temple’s small but beautiful, and the energy up there is so calm, even with a few other hikers around. Snapped a few pics, soaked in the view, and just sat there for a bit, letting it all sink in. This spot feels like a hidden gem with major peaceful power. Gurye’s got some magic, and Saseongam’s definitely part of it.

#summervacay So I finally made it to Nogodan in Jirisan, starting from the Gurye side, and wow, it was pure mountain magic. The trail up to the summit isn’t super brutal, which I totally appreciated. It’s well-maintained, gently sloped, and gives you time to enjoy all the wildflowers, foggy trees, and rolling ridges. Total fairytale vibes, especially if you catch it on a misty day. When I got to the top, Nogodan hit me with that wide-open, above-the-clouds energy. The peak itself is quiet, peaceful, and feels like it’s floating, just this calm space where the wind hums and the world slows down for a sec. I sat there with my snack and just stared out over layers of mountains like I was in some zen painting. Not a super intense hike, but spiritually 10/10. Whether you’re a hiking newbie or just need a mountain moment without the suffering, Nogodan’s the move. Peaceful, pretty, and oh-so-worth-it.

#summervacay Wolchulsan National Park in Yeongam might be one of the smallest national parks in Korea, but don’t let the size fool you, this place packs a punch! I headed in thinking it’d be a chill little walk, and suddenly I was crossing a sky-high suspension bridge with my heart doing somersaults. The climb up is pretty steep in parts, but super fun. Lots of rocky paths, cool staircases, and views that just keep getting better the higher you go. The Cloud Bridge (yes, that’s what it’s called) is a wild experience, narrow, wobbly, and hanging between cliffs. If you’re afraid of heights, get ready to face your fears in style. Once you hit the top, it’s just ridge after ridge of insane views and fresh mountain air. Feels like you're standing on top of the world. Wolchulsan may be small, but the adventure level is maxed out. Pack some snacks, take your time, and soak it all in. This park is a total gem!

#summervacay Took a stroll up to Ssangsanjae recently and, it’s one of those places that just hits different. The trail’s super chill, like a gentle walk through the woods with that perfect mix of shade, breeze, and bird sounds. No intense climbing, no stress, just straight-up peaceful from start to finish. Along the way, you pass by a couple of old temples and stone walls that give off major history vibes. Felt like I accidentally wandered into a movie set or something. And because it’s not super touristy, you kinda get the whole place to yourself (or close to it). At the top, there’s this wide open area with views of the valley and mountains around, perfect for flopping down, snacking, and just zoning out for a bit. Ssangsanjae isn’t flashy, but that’s exactly the point. It’s quiet, calming, and just the right amount of nature when you want to unplug for a few hours. Would totally go again with a thermos of tea.
