Where to go in Jeonnam–Gwangju

Mudeungsan, Gwangju

Gwangju 광주

Gwangju is a base for art, regional food and the landscape of Mudeungsan. Balance cultural stops in the city with a separate mountain outing suited to your time, weather and walking ability.

Odongdo, Yeosu

Yeosu 여수

Yeosu brings harbor views, island scenery and evening walks to a south-coast trip. Keep one part of the waterfront as your base for the day rather than assuming every attraction is close together.

Suncheon Bay Wetland

Suncheon 순천

Suncheon is a good match for travelers who enjoy gardens and wetland landscapes. The bay’s reeds and tidal channels reward an unhurried visit; distinguish Suncheon Bay Wetland from the separate National Garden when planning.
