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

2022.01 #MokpoTravel #Since I'm in Mokpo, I have to visit #Shinan's famous #PurpleIsland~ Although I was confused because I didn't know that the 3 islands were connected, my body was swaying in the cold winter sea wind and it was extremely cold, but my eyes were completely refreshed. First, I looked around from #Banwoldo where I first arrived to #Parkjido. Even the smallest things were #BoraBorahae💜, and I could also see a sculpture with the phrase #ipurpleyou made by BTS V. It would have been much better if the weather was a little warmer. #KoreaTravel #SouthSouthTravel #JeollaTravel #DomesticTravel #ShinanTravel #MokpoSuburbTravel

Among the exhibition rooms of the World Shell Museum, there is a space called the Collector's Room where shellfish are collected. It was very interesting because there were not only various types of shellfish but also related books :) It was fun to feel the collector's daily life for a moment.

There is an indoor pool for children, a kids cafe, and the internal facilities were so good that we, a couple, didn't even think about going out, but we really enjoyed our #ho-kangs :-0 There is also a beach right in front, so it was nice to go for a walk 😊 If you are planning a trip to Sinan with your lover or family, I recommend it👍🏻 📍Ramada Plaza & Seawon Resort Jaen Island 931-2 Yugak-ri, Jaen-myeon, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do Ramada Plaza & Seawon Resort Jaen Island 🅿️ Free parking for guests ✔️ Convenience store inside ⭕️ ▪️ Things to see nearby - Infinite Bridge - Purple Bridge - Museum Park #Ho-kangs #Unique accommodations #Hot places #Hotel recommendations

#Hiking #Trekking#Shinan#Jeolla-do It is the highest peak of Hongdo. It is 367.8 m high and stands in the middle of a long island extending from north to south. It was selected as one of the 100 best mountains in Korea. Around Gitdaebong, camellia trees grow in a forest, and various plants such as Machilus thunbergii, Chinese chestnut tree, Japanese pine, and Zelkova grow. In addition, over 200 species of animals and insects live there. In particular, Hongdo's specialty plant, the orchid, is an orchid that grows in the sea breeze and is a very precious plant.

I'll introduce you to Dalbodre, a beautiful cafe with a collaboration with media artist Lee In-nam. It's located on the first floor lobby of the resort building of the newly built Siwon Resort & Ramada Plaza Hotel in Sinan, Jeollanam-do, so I think it's a place that many people visit as a check-in/out lounge cafe. As expected from a media art gallery cafe, I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration that it was fantastic to see the moving works. The West Sea of ​​​​Jaendo Baekgil Beach, which can be seen beyond the large window, is also a wonderful place. The salt coffee was delicious! It's not a cheap hotel cafe, but it felt like viewing an exhibition, so I was satisfied! Stop by when you go to Shinan Purple Island💜 - - 📍Cafe Dalbodre in Siwon Resort ⏰️9:00-21:00 (Saturday 8:30~) #Indoor date#Sinan travel#Siwon resort#Cafe date

Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, famous for Purple Island. When I went to Purple Island two years ago, I couldn't find a suitable place to stay, so I went to Mokpo and slept there. I'll introduce you to the brand new Ramada Plaza & Sea One Resort, a brand new hotel and resort that opened in July.♥️ It was bigger than I thought, and it's still under construction, so I'm curious about how big the resort complex will be in the future~ The beach is right in front, so it's nice to take a walk around, and since it's a new resort, all the spaces are clean, which is even better. Most of the auxiliary facilities are in the resort building, so the hotel building is quiet. I think it's a place to just stay? ✔️You have to check in at the resort and then move! The resort cafe Dalbodre also has an art exhibition, so be sure to stop by. The price is a bit high, but it's delicious♥️ - And the rooms are really great!!! Superior double rooms are this big and spacious, and this is the only place~ It's spacious and clean, so it feels more comfortable! The amenities are also luxurious🥰 Sinan is far away, so it's a difficult travel destination, but Purple Island is worth a visit. And Mokpo is close, so I recommend it♥️ Water park hot spring pool is open (Fri-Sun) Infinity pool is scheduled to open next year~ - - 📍Jeonnam Sinan Ramada Plaza & Sea One Resort ℹ️It's on an island called Jaen Island, and Purple Island is also close. There were many things to enjoy as a family, such as a kids' cafe! #Ho-cation #Sinan Hotel #Sinan Travel

#EldoradoResort with private beach and coastal walkway It was so beautiful even in winter The sunset was especially beautiful The view from the accommodation was also so beautiful

I went to see a friend who lives in Mokpo and ended up going to Shinan Purple Island 1004 Island without a plan. And on the way there, there was a lovely mural so I took a picture. *Free admission if you bring purple clothes or accessories

#Sinan #Purple Island #Purple Bridge #Jeonnam Travel #Sinan Travel Sinan was a place I had to go to, so I went without much intention, but luckily I was able to enjoy the festival, so it was so nice last fall. This year, the Asta Flower Festival ended on the 10th, but the Purple Bridge alone is worth the trip! 'Purple Island', which was selected as the 'World's Best Tourism Village' by the UN this year, is a purple village that is hard to find anywhere else in the world~ I recommend it as a fall travel destination💜 Don't forget to see the camellia flower-headed grandparents mural! Enjoy~^^ - - ​ 📍Shinan Purple Island 🧭Address: 709-7 Sogok-ri, Anjwa-myeon, Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (When entering Purple Bridge - Search for Duri Pier on navigation) 🚘Public parking lot at the pier is wide 🎫Purple Island entrance fee: Adults 5,000/Teenagers 3,000 Children 1,000 ✔️Free admission when wearing purple clothing (Top and bottom, shoes, umbrella, hat)/Exceptions: Scarf, Toshi, socks, bag

📍Shinan Purple Island: 6 Banwoldo-gil, Anjwa-myeon, Shinan If you go to Shinan, this is now a must-see ~ I visited “Shinan Purple Island”! An island where everything except the sky and the sea is decorated in purple! When paying the entrance fee, you can also buy purple clothes I didn’t prepare any purple items, so I bought a man-to-man and entered! While walking on the Purple Bridge, a thought suddenly occurred to me Wow.. It must have been hard to paint everything in purple ㅋㅋㅋ It’s a very realistic thought… 🤣 There were so many photo spots, so I took pictures with various concepts! I think it’s a good place to go with your parents and a couple :) #Let’s go on a trip#Hot place #Couples #Safe travel #Date course #Life shot spot #Shinan #Purple Island #Purple #Fall travel destination #Jeonnam travel #Vacation travel

Korean Pilgrim's Path, Sinan Island Tiago🕌 If Spain has the Camino de Santiago, There are 12 small chapels named after the 12 apostles on Soakdo Island, the starting point of Korea! There is the 12 Apostles Pilgrimage Path It's good to travel along the flowers and the sea, but sometimes it's good to take a walk like this, thinking about each step without religion.💛 📍Sinan Island Tiago ▪️It takes about 1 hour to board the ship at Songgong Passenger Ship Terminal ▪️You have to walk about 20km, so sneakers are not optional but essential! (I wore flat shoes because I was thinking of driving in, but my feet were soaked and the soles of my feet hurt so muchㅠㅠ) ▪️If possible, I recommend renting a bike at Daegijeomdo!! (You can drive there, but the islanders don't like it, and since it's a single lane, you may have to back up if cars meet you from both sides) ▪️There are no cafes or restaurants on the island, so make sure to eat before you go! ▪️You can only pass during low tide because you have to cross the bridge (The tide changes every day, so search the internet, and the order you can go may change depending on the tide Don't worry, they will tell you everything at the passenger ship terminal) #Shinan travel #Unique travel destination #Recreational travel #Island Tiago #Pilgrim's path #12 apostles pilgrimage path #Soakdo #Good place to take pictures #Island tour

#Ho-kang-s This resort was especially beautiful because all rooms had ocean views. The breakfast was delicious, and the sound of the waves crashing could be heard loudly no matter where you were, so it felt healing. This is a resort I recommend when you come to Sinan. The building is old, but it is well-maintained.

Hongdo is where you can get to by boat from Mokpo! I wanted to go there at least once, so I visited, and it was so great! The sea is clear and the raw fish is delicious! It was a really beautiful island! #HotPlace

If you are traveling to Sinan, Jeollanam-do, I highly recommend visiting ‘Baekgil Beach’🙌🏻 This beach is located in Sinan Jaeun-do. It is famous for its fine sand and exotic atmosphere🤍 The sand is so fine that many people come to the beach!! It was incredibly healing just to sit on the stone steps and look at the sea without swimming☺️ 📍Location: 229 Yugak-ri, Jaun-myeon, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do #Sinan#Sinan travel#Jeollanam-do#Jeollanam-do travel#Beach#Domestic travel#Places to visit in Korea#Sea #With nature

In Sinan, famous for its salt, they also sell salt ice cream~!!🙌🏻 There are so many different flavors! From fruit flavors like mango and tangerine to mala-flavored ice cream!! I ordered one mango flavor and one mala-flavored ice cream! Various flavors of salt were sprinkled on top of the soft ice cream! It was sweet and salty in itself🤗 The mala-flavored ice cream was a bit spicy and had a unique taste ㅎㅎㅎ If you are traveling to Sinan, I recommend you try salt ice cream. #Sinan#Sinan travel#Domestic#Domestic travel recommendation#Jeonnam travel#Ice cream#Domestic places to visit#Island travel #Cafe
