Enjoy an Izakaya in Gwangyang, famous for its Gwangyang Bulgogi!
A platter of assorted yakitori and a highball are a must.

A Tranquil Hanok Bistro in Gwangyang, Jeonnam, Soha!
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!
Yisunshindaegyo (Yi Sun-sin) Bridge Observatory and Visitor Center
#koreatrip This observation deck is really well maintained. You can see the Yi Sun-sin Bridge clearly. There is also an exhibition hall on the second floor.
It would look even better when the bridge lights up at night. There is a street vendor selling fish cakes and hot dogs in the parking lot outside.
The reception is really friendly and helpful. They even have life line in case of emergency at the top of the deck. There are good restrooms, a large parking lot, and a hotteok, fish cake, and coffee shop in front, so it's a good place to take a break. It’s has a nice view.
Spectacular View🫶🏻
#koreatrip Although it is an industrial complex view, the open view is quite attractive. You can see not only the Gwangyang Industrial Complex but also the Yeosu Industrial Complex in the distance. Yi Sun-sin Bridge is also very visible. The view of the mountains to the east and west, rather than the open sea, is also nice.
There is a large parking lot before the observatory, and a little further up there is a small parking lot. The road up is quite steep, so l recommend going up to the small parking lot if possible. Please also note that even if you come up to the small parking lot right in front, you have to climb a fairly steep road to reach the observatory.
Spring Travel: The Enchanting Plum Blossom View of Gwangyang Plum Village
The highlight is the pavilion, pond, and the spread of plum blossoms for a perfect photo.
Location: 399-9, Dosari, Daap-myeon, Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do (If it's crowded, it's better to park by the river and walk)
It's the plum village in Gwangyang. Compared to other plum blossom spots, the main feature here is the oriental feel of the background created by the pavilion and pond at the entrance. It's best to come very early before sunrise to take pictures without people. The view is unique and the plum blossoms are well-maintained, so it's quite famous and can get crowded, so be mentally prepared when it's peak season... haha. But even when it's a bit past the peak and on normal days, the view is still worth seeing. I've been visiting for several years now~
Gwangyang Yudang Park
#dreamdestination
Gwangyang Yudang Park has very high historical value. If you get tired while walking, there are many places to rest! It’s a nice place with a beautiful pond too!
