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

#asiabudgetchallenge Tongyeong is often called the “Naples of Korea” and for good reason — it’s full of colorful coastal houses, artistic corners, and fresh seafood. I rode the Tongyeong Cable Car, walked through Dongpirang Mural Village, and tried the famous Chungmu gimbap. It’s a fantastic blend of art, food, and seaviews, without the intensity of Busan or Seoul. 📍Destination: Tongyeong, South Korea 💸Rough Budget: ₩60,000–₩90,000/day (~$40) 💡Top Tip: Use the local ferry to visit nearby islands like Hansando — they’re quiet and gorgeous!

1. Cafe Baeyangjang with Full Autumn Atmosphere Address: 51 Hambak-gil, Sanyang-eup, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongnam Key Points: Cafe Baeyangjang is a hip cafe that was converted from an old factory. It's always crowded during the autumn and winter travel seasons. I went a bit early and managed to get an outdoor seat, which is right by the sea and a popular spot on social media! It's a great cafe to visit in the cool autumn sea breeze. Rating: 5/5 2. Tongyeong, Great for Foodies Address: 8-42 Jungangsijang 1-gil, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongnam Key Points: Tongyeong is a seaside town known for its seafood and local cuisine. While exploring the Tongyeong Market, I stumbled upon the original Milmul Restaurant and ordered the seafood soybean paste stew. The stew was filled with plump shrimp and crab meat, making it incredibly delicious! The side dishes were also plentiful, and the meal ended perfectly with scorched rice water. Take a gourmet trip to Tongyeong this autumn! Rating: 4/5 3. Blue Autumn Sky and Tongyeong Sea! Address: 321-2 Dongho-dong, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongnam Key Points: The area near Tongyeong Port is connected to the sea, making it a great walking course. Just looking at the blue sky and sea lifts your spirits. Gangguan Pedestrian Bridge is a hot photo spot in Tongyeong, so take a walk there and snap some photos! Rating: 4/5

The season of hydrangeas has begun in earnest, I'll tell you about 4 great places to visit in Gyeongsang-do to see hydrangeas✨ 📍1-2 Tongyeong #Yi Sun-sin Park A place where you can see the blue sea and hydrangeas together! The hydrangeas right in front of the sea were only about 30% bloomed as of June 10, so I think they'll be pretty starting next week, and the place I took the picture was in full bloom, so it was pretty. If you go up the hill and look down from the bench, it'll come out like the picture💙 📍3-5 Tongyeong #Gwangdocheon A long hydrangea path stretches along the river, so you can see a variety of colorful hydrangeas💛 I only walked a little bit along the entrance, but I think it'd be nice to take a walk while looking at the hydrangeas. 📍6-8 Miryang #Naechon Village A hidden hydrangea spot that people don't know about✨ If you go in the morning, the fog will make it feel mysterious💜 The hydrangea road at the entrance is so pretty, and it will be really pretty when the hydrangea garden is in full bloom, so I definitely recommend going 🫶 📍9-10 Jinju #Jinju in the Wolasan Forest A place where you can see various hydrangeas in a green resort forest🌱 There are pink and purple to white hydrangeas and small mountain hydrangeas! If you want to go to a quiet hydrangea spot with not many people, Save it and go💜

#Beach 🔸Tongyeong Bijindo Beach This summer, Tongyeong Bijindo is a hot domestic beach. It has become a snorkeling mecca with its exotic scenery and clear water. You can also pitch a tent, so it is a popular place for backpackers and campers. It is quite deep, so water play equipment is a must. There are also many restaurants nearby, so you can enjoy food and play in the water. #Waterplay #SeaTravel #HotPlace #DomesticTravel #WithNature #Camping #Snorkeling #SummerVacation

#OceanView 🔸Bijindo Ferry This is a ferry to Bijindo, a domestic travel destination where you can enjoy a picturesque ocean view. It takes about 50 minutes from Tongyeong Port, and I recommend enjoying the outdoor scenery from the flat seats on the second floor deck rather than the inside seats! The ferry time is not enough, but it is very popular, so it sells out quickly, so you must make a reservation quickly. You can enjoy the ocean view properly. #SeaTravel #SummerCapture #DomesticTravel #TongyeongTravel #SummerIsSummer #WithNature

A park where green dandelions bloom so beautifully? I didn't know I would see dandelions in Tongyeong, but I met them at Donam Tourist Complex🌳 The ocean view behind the framed photo zone was so pretty. The triathlon competition was held here, so it was called Triathlon Square. Just thinking about the triathlon makes me think it's amazing! I'm rooting for you🔥The dandelions are big and green and blooming beautifully💚 I personally think that the dandelions are prettier when they're green than when they're red, so Tongyeong is a place you should run to right now! I recommend it✨️ - - 📍Triathlon Square 🧭650-3, Donam-dong, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongnam #ExcitingSummerVacation #TongyeongTravel

Donam Tourist Complex, a famous tourist complex in Tongyeong🩵 Here are the largest hotels in Tongyeong, and a yacht club that can be called the Naples of the East, a water taxi stop, and water leisure sports, etc., so there is no better place to enjoy a summer vacation🌊 Geumho Marina Resort Yacht Club has many pretty yachts, and many yachts that can be seen up close, so I thought that Tongyeong is a truly beautiful port city. It was a time when I felt good just looking at the yachts anchored⛵️ It wasn't for nothing that it was called the Naples of the East😁 - - 📍Geumho Marina Resort Yacht Club 🧭33 Keunbalgae 1-gil, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongsangnam-do #ExcitingSummerVacation #TongyeongTravel

Pencil Lighthouse, which was so interesting because it looked like a pencil even from afar, I had to go see it✏️ and walked diligently, but its original name is Donam Port East Breakwater Lighthouse. It was selected as the Lighthouse of the Month, a pretty lighthouse in Tongyeong! There was even a place to get a lighthouse stamp🩵 I've been to many lighthouses, but I've never done one, so I was curious about the stamp tour😉 I went around sunset, and the sky and the sea were really beautiful! It was so nice to go for a walk around sunset🩵 - - 📍Donam Port East Breakwater Lighthouse (Pencil Lighthouse) 🧭269-38 Donam-ro, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongnam #Exciting Summer Vacation #Tongyeong Travel

There's Dongbaek, the seagull mascot of Tongyeong, in the Gangguan sea 🌺 A seagull with a camellia flower in its mouth! How can there be so many cute characters🫶 Every time I come to Tongyeong, I always stop by this port to see the turtle ship, eat Chungmu kimbap, and buy honey bread. I haven't been able to go on the Tongyeong travel course to take a certification shot with Dongbaek, but I took a certification shot with Seopirang at Gangguan with great success✨️ - - 📍Gangguan 🧭Jungang-dong, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongnam #ExcitingSummerVacation #TongyeongTravel

The best place to view Tongyeong Port day and night Ganggu-an Bridge🌁 I was so hot and tired that I was satisfied with looking from below, but when the lights came on, the bridge color changed every moment and the small boats passing under it it was a healing sight just to look at it✨️ Tongyeong is busy preparing for the Hansan Battle Festival! Since Tongyeong has a beautiful sunset, I recommend going to Ganggu-an Port at sunset and looking at the sea🧡 - - 📍Ganggu-an Bridge 🧭Jungang-dong, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongnam #ExcitingSummerVacation #TongyeongTravel

If I had to pick the most famous place in Tongyeong, I would have thought of the plaza where the turtle ship and panokseon are displayed as the first place, but this is Ganggu-an🩵 I wondered if it had the same name as Ganggu Port in Yeongdeok, but I guess the name of this port is Ganggu-an🤔 Most of the big events in Tongyeong take place here, but they were busy preparing for the Battle of Hansan starting on August 4th. I've never seen a festival, but seeing the turtle ship and the ship floating in the sea made me feel like I was in the right mood for the Battle of Hansan. I think it's probably the biggest festival in Tongyeong🩵 There are many places to eat, such as Chungmu Gimbap and Omi Sa Honey Bread, so Ganggu-an is a must-visit Tongyeong's No. 1 travel destination👍 - - 📍Ganggu-an 🧭Jungang-dong, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongnam ⏰️The 62nd Hansan Battle Festival is in progress from August 4 to August 12 #ExcitingSummerVacation #TongyeongTravel
