2025 Gwangyang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

#OutdoorDate#GwangyangTravel The zip wire that will become a famous landmark of Gwangyang has been born But first, among the ways to get to the top of the mountain, I really recommend taking the monorail What is it? You can ride the dizzying 42-degree steep monorail It's really thrilling to slowly climb up a slope that's like a roller coaster! It's not scary, but it's thrilling. I totally recommend the Gwangyang travel course - - 📍Seomjingang Starlight Sky 159 Mangdeok-gil, Jinwol-myeon, Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do

A beautiful bistro named Soha, created by renovating a traditional Korean house! Soha, which means 'small summer,' is a charming restaurant. 📍Address: 737 Mokseong-ri, Gwangyang-eup, Gwangyang-si, Jeonnam This lovely Hanok is located in a quiet residential alley~ When the weather is nice, you can dine in the yard. The menu includes Italian dishes such as pizza and spaghetti, and they also serve soju, which is a great combination. They have wine too, and surprisingly, Italian food pairs well with soju~ The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great, and it's a perfect place for both dining and drinking~ If you visit Gwangyang, make sure to stop by!

Gwangyang Bulgogi is so famous that I used to eat only bulgogi every time I went to Gwangyang, but I heard that charcoal grilled chicken is also famous, so I challenged myself! It would have been more delicious if I had eaten it at a place like Gyegok Pension, but since it is a famous restaurant in Gwangyang, I trusted it and went there, and I liked the clean interior✨️ I was curious because this is a local restaurant! I ordered half a chicken with salt grilled chicken, because I was curious about the seasoning. But since it was chicken, I think I ate well without being too full🔥 I thought of Chuncheon charcoal grilled chicken, but it had a different taste. I recommend it because it is a famous place in Gwangyang👍 - - 📍Sonang-gu 🧭40 Seopyeong-ro, Gwangyang-eup, Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do ⏰️11:30-21:00 #Exciting summer vacation #Gwangyang travel

A small island called Myodo because its shape resembles a cat🐈 Myodo Bridge connecting Yeosu and Gwangyang Myodo Bonghwasan Observatory where you can see the Yi Sun-sin Bridge🧡 📍Yi Sun-sin Bridge Promotion Center (110 Myodo 7-gil, Yeosu-si, Jeollanam-do) ✔️A point where you can take pictures of Yi Sun-sin Bridge 📍Myodo Bonghwasan Observatory (Myodo-dong, Yeosu-si, Jeollanam-do) ✔️If you drive a little further from the Yi Sun-sin Bridge Promotion Center, there is a sign for the Bonghwasan Observatory on the left. Park and hike up the hill for 10-15 minutes (Parking space for 4-5 cars/It takes about 20 minutes if you park at the Promotion Center) ✔️Arrive 30 minutes before sunset and take beautiful pictures from sunset to night view🌙 ✔️It's really scary if you go alone... I took pictures of the night view and was scared so I ran down the hill to the parking lot #Places to go with kids #Yeosu travel #Myodo #Myodobonghwasan Observatory #Yi Sun-sin Bridge Promotion Center

#TravelMoon It's the prettiest when the plum blossoms are in full bloom, but there's a bamboo forest inside the plum village, so it's pretty at other times too🎋 It's close to Hadong, so it's a good course to stop by the plum village and then go to the Hwagae Market. Gwangyang is famous for Gwangyang Bulgogi, but if you're planning to eat near the plum village, I recommend the Jaecheop set meal💙 🏷️ Green Plum Farm 📍55 Jimak 1-gil, Dap-myeon, Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do 💸 Plum ice cream 4,500 won

Workout in Uiwang, near Seoul! 💪 🏔️Barasan (428m above sea level) 🏔️Baekunsan (567m above sea level) 🚘Parking: Barasan Natural Recreation Forest (3,000 won) 🚶Course: Barasan Natural Recreation Forest - 365 Steps - About 2km along Barasan Ridge - Baekunsan - Return to the starting point 🥾Distance: About 8km ⏰Time required: About 4 hours ▶️It's a relatively flat course, but it's quite far, so you need to manage your stamina well #Suburbs of Seoul

🌸Gwangyang Plum Blossom Village Walking Tour🌸 I had half given up on going to the place because it was hard to get there by walking, but during the festival, a bus route was created that went directly from Gwangju to the Plum Blossom Village event site, so I went there to feel the spring :) I thought there wouldn't be many people since I took the first bus on a weekday, but I was surprised by the number of people, but I successfully enjoyed the flowers while wearing a mask and listening to my favorite songs. It was a very pleasant day to visit Gwangyang Plum Blossom Village for the first time and the scent of flowers came through the mask. I brought a tripod to take a picture of myself, but I failed because I couldn't even take it out... Next time, I hope I have someone to take pictures with me😞 I arrived around 11 AM on a weekday, but there was a lot of traffic, and there were a lot of tour buses from the travel agency, and it was half people and half plum blossoms... If you want to take pretty pictures, make sure to arrive before 9 AMㅠㅠ 📍Gwangyang Plum Blossom Festival (490-2 Dosa-ri, Daap-myeon, Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do) 📌Festival period ~23.03.19 📌Photoshoot date 23.03.15 (100% blooming rate) 📌Departing from Gwangju (reservations available) 09:00, 10:00, 11:00 Departing from Plum Village (Payment on-site by cash or bank transfer) 13:30, 14:30, 16:00 Gwangju Plum Village Fare 12,700₩ 📌Bus recommended due to traffic congestion!!! 📌Most photo zones are gathered around Observatory 2, so if you're not sure, go to Observatory 2!! (It takes 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours if you take your time)⠀ #Spring flowers #Plum blossoms #Plum blossom attractions #Plum blossom festival #Plum village #Gwangyang plum blossom village #Gwangyang travel #Places to visit in Gwangyang #Gwangyang plum blossom festival

#Emotional Accommodation #GwangyangTravel #PlacesToVisitInGwangyang #Gwangyang 📍Gwangyang, Aat Aat, a hanok accommodation located in Gwangyang Complex Cultural Space When you open the window, you can see a wide yard, and it was a great accommodation because you can see the hanok building and cafe. It was a hanok accommodation, but it was clean and the interior was so stylish that I liked it. In addition, the space was well separated, so the living room / bedroom / hallway / bathroom were all separate! I also liked that the windows could be opened wide. Recommended if you are looking for a trendy new hanok accommodation!

#SpringFlowers A plum blossom festival that seems to announce the arrival of spring🎉 A story about taking the last train to Gwangyang Plum Village😆🫶🏻 The festival is over, but I couldn't wait until next year.. I woke up at the crack of dawn and went there😅 Because of my personality of not planning properly every time and not checking information thoroughly😅 I went there without thinking and looked for a photo spot and I met Naran-in-a-human again in Plum Village...🤣I pushed myself and was exhausted before I found the photo zone...😳 ⭐️⭐️⭐️As you go up, you can see the Hongsang-ri plum stone monument in a big way Don't just look forward...it's time to look back once🙂 If you take the rightmost path, you'll soon see the photo zone⭐️⭐️⭐️ We ran forward without looking back, and we climbed the steep stairs and lost energy and couldn't make it to the hill photo zone. That's a sad story..^^.. It's true that a lot of flower petals fell when the festival ended It was a pity, but it was still worth seeing and there were a lot of people! I definitely want to come back next year when it's in full bloom...🌸 🚗Maehwa Parking Lot-Daap-myeon Dosa-ri 403 Seomjin Parking Lot-Daap-myeon Dosa-ri San 82-21 Dosa Parking Lot-Daap-myeon Dosa-ri 77 Dunchi Parking Lot-Daap-myeon Sinwon-ri 575-12 (Dunchi~Dosa shuttle bus runs only during the festival period)

#SpringFlowers Camellia flowers that can be seen since winter.. There is a place in Gwangyang that blooms so beautifully even in spring. I thought there was only a plum blossom village in Gwangyang🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ I went there without any plans, thinking I would visit the plum blossom village, and I found this place by chance! I didn't have time, so I only took pictures here📸, but there is a platform between the pine trees🌲 and a pavilion above, so if you have time, it would be nice to take a break and take a look around the park👀! 📍Okryong Solbatseom (Dongcheon Naehacheon Island Park) 8 Yulcheon-gil, Okryong-myeon, Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do #Jeonnam #Gwangyang #Solbatseom

5-hour round trip just to see the plum blossoms✨ I originally went at the beginning of the festival, but I waited a week longer, and went when they were in full bloom, and it was worth the wait😆 There was also a hanbok experience, so I rented one and walked around and the red hanbok skirt went so well with the plum blossoms♥️ 📍Gwangyang Plum Blossom Festival 55 Jimak 1-gil, Dap-myeon, Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do, Seomjin Village 🗓️Festival Period: 23.03.10~23.03.19 🍦Plum Ice Cream 4,500 won ✔️Visited on March 16 #Plum Blossom Festival #Gwangyang Travel #Gwangyang Plum Blossom Village #Jeonnam Travel

1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣6️⃣ 📍Gwangyang Plum Blossom Festival ✔️55 Jimak 1-gil, Daap-myeon, Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do Seomjin Village This is the Gwangyang Plum Blossom Festival in Jeollanam-do that you must visit in March. Since it was the first plum blossom festival in 4 years since COVID-19, I went early in the morning because I thought there would be too many people. It was amazing that it wasn't just a place created for plum blossoms, but a real plum tree. I think it was a good mood changer thanks to the Seomjin River and the picturesque plum blossoms. 7️⃣8️⃣9️⃣🔟 📍Join Chef New York Restaurant Gwangyang Jungma Branch ✔️Jungdong 1888-1 Join Chef New York Restaurant where you can see the Yi Sun-sin Bridge and the ocean view. If you order a main dish, you can also use the mini salad bar, so it's a good value for money place. It was nice to feel like I went to a family restaurant after a long time. I especially recommend it to those who like to eat at a place with a good view because the terrace view is great. 🫶🏻 #Tourist Attraction Review #Gwangyang Plum Blossom Festival #Gwangyang Plum Blossom

#Emotional Accommodation #Gwangyang Accommodation #Hanok Accommodation #Gwangyang 📍 Gwangyang, aat A Gwangyang emotional hanok accommodation, aat, operated with a cafe! I liked that the living room and bedroom spaces were separated, but what I liked most was that when I opened the window, I could see the plum blossoms and the front yard right away. The living room is also divided into floors so that you can have tea ceremonies, so it has a very hanok-like feel! It was a really nice hanok independent accommodation with good lighting during the day and the hallway interior was modern + old-fashioned. I think it would be even better if you stay during the Gwangyang Plum Blossom Festival season!

The Gwangyang Plum Blossom Festival, which can be said to be the beginning of spring festivals, has been reopened after the pandemic 🎊 There are always a lot of people during the festival period, but this festival is especially crowded. Still, there are plenty of things to eat and see, so I recommend you visit during the festival period! 📍 Jeonnam Gwangyang Plum Village (Hongsang-ri Green Plum Farm) 🗓️ Festival period 3/10~3/19 💸 No admission fee 🅿️ Large 12,000 won / Small 6,000 won for 3 hours 🍦 Plum ice cream 4,500 won 🏷️ Free on weekdays except for “Plum Parking Lot” 🏷️ Representative photo zones are “Bridge Photo Zone” and “Pond Photo Zone” 🏷️ Hanbok experience 2,000 won 🏷️ Plum Festival event is in progress, so visit and eat or stay and participate in the event! (1st place: Golden Plum worth 5 million won) #Spring flowers #Gwangyang Plum Festival #Gwangyang Plum Village

#SpringFlowers Gwangyang Plum Blossom Village, filled with plum blossoms, like snowdrops 💕 A plum blossom outing in March is a must!! With beautiful flowers everywhere, it's the perfect spring outing☺️ 🌸Gwangyang Plum Blossom Village Festival (March 10th - 19th) 📍Plum Village, Daap-myeon, Gwangyang-si ◽️A tip: Use the to park closer to Plum Blossom Village. It's located at the bottom of the village, so you'll have to climb quite a hill. However, if you arrive in the afternoon, parking in the Green Plum Farm parking lot is nearly impossible.

Are there any of you who like a country atmosphere? In mid-March, you can fully experience that atmosphere at the Gwangyang Plum Blossom Festival. Let's take a picture wearing colorful clothes among pretty flowers. * This year, it is said to be held from March 10th to 19th. If you don't have your own car, I recommend taking a day bus trip. 🚐 #GwangyangPlumBlossomFestival #PlumBlossomFestival #FlowerFestival

This is the Jeonnam Provincial Museum of Art in Gwangyang, Jeollanam-do This place is currently holding an international special exhibition of French painter Georges Rouault😊 BTS RM also visited this place to see this work a while ago. It's a good location to stop by when traveling to Suncheon or Yeosu 📍Jeonnam Gwangyang-si Gwangyang-eup Sungwang-ro 660 Jeonnam Provincial Museum of Art

It's a small park in the heart of Gwangyang, Jeollanam-do, but it's a cute and well-kept place with pretty pink Angela roses. There's a rose tunnel and a place where the entire wall is covered with roses. It was especially nice to take pictures because the rose colors were so pretty. It suddenly got a lot hotter this year, so the roses didn't last long, but I was glad I went there before they all withered♥️ It's not far from Gokseong, so it's a good course for a happy spring outing in Jeollanam-do with roses🌹 - - 📍Gwangyang Jungdong Neighborhood Park 🧭94 Gwangjang-ro, Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do ℹ️It's quieter than I thought, so it's a place where you can leisurely enjoy the flowers #flower viewing#roses#rose park#Gwangyang

#Cafe with a good view A quiet cafe with a view full of natural sensibility Jeonnam Gwangyang Night Tour, which I happened to visit, is a tea house in a quiet rural village in Okryong-myeon. There are so many healthy menus that it feels more like drinking health tonics than a cafe :)

The earliest spring flower🌸 When I hear news of plum blossoms, it means the long winter is over, so I get excited and wear pretty spring clothes to go out. The first place I should run to is Gwangyang Plum Blossom Village🌸 I think a real festival will be held for the first time in a long time this coming season, so I'm already looking forward to it! When you go here, you must try the Jangdokdae View, Pajeon, and Ice Cream! The atmosphere is delicious, so make sure to get in the mood💜 - - 📍Gwangyang Plum Blossom Village ℹ️No admission fee/Festival opens in early to mid-March ⏰️9:00-18:00 #Flower viewing#Plum blossom festival#Gwangyang Plum Blossom Village#Gwangyang travel

I recommend the Gwangyang Plum Blossom Festival in March 23rd. There is a bit of traffic, but there is such a beautiful scenery. The entire town is filled with plum blossoms. Feel the spring as you walk around the town. ^^

Sunchang shows a gradually changing appearance with autumn leaves during this time of year. Among them, the national trail that connects the Seomjin River is a great place to visit these days. It's the best because you can enjoy the beautiful scenery. ❤️ 📍 815 Eochi-ri, Donggye-myeon, Sunchang-gun, Jeollabuk-do #Let's go on a trip #Bicycle trip #Picnic #Outing #Hot place

The Seomjin River course is great for a bike picnic during this time of year! You can ride along the riverside while taking in the fresh air and the scenery that will surely please your eyes. Everyone, try a bike picnic on a nice day 😉❤️ #Let's go on a trip #Picnic #Hot place #Seomjin River

#Gwangyang Travel #Places to visit in Gwangyang #Gwangyang Wine Cave There is a cool wine cave in Gwangyang, Jeollanam-do! It is a unique cave and offers various experiences, including wine tasting, and above all, it is a great travel destination for taking pictures :) It is past midsummer, but it is a great place to visit at least once because there are many things to see! Operating hours 09:30 - 18:30 Admission fee 7,000 won

This is a great place to take a photo of your life in Gurye! It is a great place to leisurely wander around alone, or to ride a bike with friends and family.

#Hiking At the time of climbing Baekunsan, the camera was upgraded. At that time, it was the Sony RX 1 model, which was considered the best single-lens camera, so the texture was definitely different from the previous photos. Baekunsan, as the name suggests, was accompanied by clouds the entire time I was climbing. I thought back to the dream I had had since I was young, and climbed the summit after passing the initial rock ridge section, the middle Hurt Pass, and the last rock ridge section. #Baekunsan #Hiking

Address: 52 Seocheon 1-gil, Gwangyang-eup, Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do Atmosphere/Facilities: Gwangyang and Suncheon have many great restaurants, as befitting cities in Honam. Gwangyang is famous for its bulgogi and jaecheop dishes. Samdae Gwangyang Bulgogi House has a main building and an annex. The main building is old and much smaller than the annex, so most customers end up eating in the annex instead of the main building. It is designed like a corridor, with large rooms on both sides, and there are plenty of tables in these rooms. Key Points: The bulgogi at Samdae Gwangyang Bulgogi House is very thin, so you have to add it little by little. It is thin, but the heat is good, so it cooks quickly. If you overcook the beef, it will burn and become tough, so you have to be careful and cook it at the right timing. I get the feeling that the seasoning of the bulgogi is very mysterious. It is not sweet or salty, and it is very bland. It is definitely seasoned, but it feels like it is not seasoned well. But this mild taste has a subtle addictiveness that makes you want to keep eating it. Average price per person: 32,000-35,000 won Rating: 4.7/5 #Best #GourmetTour #HotPlace #GwangyangGourmet
