2025 Gyeongsangnam-do Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

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💜

Gyeongnam Changnyeong, where I went on a day trip❕❕ This is a review of experiencing both spring🌸 and fall🍂. 💐 Spring, which was gorgeous with rape blossoms and cherry blossoms and fall, where I enjoyed the colorful autumn foliage 🍁🌳 🖐🏻 Changnyeong day trip course! Just visit like this! ✅ Namji Rape Blossom Festival (recommended for spring!) / Namji Sports Park It was so nice to take pictures and take a walk in the wide rape blossom field in photo 2! ✅ Yeongsanmannyeongyo & Yeonji Pond Take a picture of your life at Yeongsanmannyeongyo. 📸 Yeongsanmannyeongyo is beautiful in spring, summer, and fall! This is photo 1. It's also nice to take a light walk at Yeonji Pond Park right next to it. ✅ Upo Wetland When you think of Changnyeong!, it's Upo Wetland, right? It's so big that you can't walk around it all, so I definitely recommend riding a bike in Upo Wetland! 🚲 ✔ On the way from Upo Swamp to the Inn without a Number Gyodong Tomb Cluster was also nice to stop by for a walk. ✅ Changnyeong Restaurant, Inn without a Number Noodles and Pajeon Enjoyed in the Mountain🍲 The food was delicious, but the scenery was the best! A day trip to Changnyeong that really healed me! I recommend a light day trip domestically. 👍🏻👍🏻 #TripMomentReview #TripMoment #Gyeongnam #Changnyeong #DomesticTravel #YeongsanMannyeongyo #Upo Swamp #DayTrip #ChangnyeongTravel #DomesticDayTrip

During the day, you can see the lovely ocean view of a quiet fishing village, but at night, you can enjoy the quiet atmosphere. You can't see the ocean very well, but it's a great place to have a relaxing time with a night view. Although it's a Hanok cafe, the interior is full of sophistication, and the coffee tastes good, so it's great for a light drive.🖤 #Goseong Cafe - 📍Goseong, Gyeongnam Gookjeong 🧭Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam Gookjeong 54-7 Dangdong 5-gil ⏰️11:00-22:00 (Closed every Monday) #Goseong Cafe #Goseong, Gyeongnam

#Ho-kang-seu #Owl-hotel 📍Owl-hotel The Owl-hotel has a great ocean view, a bakery on the first floor, and various photo zones on the rooftop! It was very comfortable and great for a 1-night, 2-day stay.

Address: 1289 Wondong-ro, Wondong-myeon, Yangsan-si, Gyeongnam Atmosphere/Facilities: This place is called the Bali of Korea 💚 A hot cafe in Gyeongju has opened in Wondong, Yangsan! #Aden where you can feel the atmosphere of a resort The Nakdong River flows right in front, so the river view with the green trees is fantastic 🤍 It has a botanical garden, so it's a feast for the eyes〰️🌳 It opened in July, but it's already become so popular through word of mouth that there's no parking space ( ̳• ·̫ • ̳) I recommend opening on a weekday or weekend when it's a bit quiet ✨ Key Point: Take pictures at photo spots where you can feel the Balinese sensibility! Happy hour if you visit at sunset ~ Average price per person: 5,000~7,000 won Rating: Five stars ✨✨✨✨✨

A cafe with an old-fashioned vintage feel! One of the places you must visit when you come to Ulsan.. The desserts are delicious, but the interior is no joke!! It's so pretty.. Many people come here on purpose..! Feel the Middle Ages in Ulsanㅎㅎ #UlsanTravel #CafeWithAGoodView #Vintage

It's near Tongdosa, one of the three major temples in Korea, so be sure to stop by #Yangsan travel #Suburban travel #Tea cafe

🔸Gimhae Gaya Theme Park ✔️Location: 161 Gaya Theme-gil, Gimhae-si, Gyeongnam ✔️Hours: Weekdays 9:30-18:00, Weekends~22:00 ❗️Parking available Gaya Theme Park located in Gimhae! It is well-decorated with amusement facilities and theme zones that are great for bringing children, but what I recommend are the extreme experiences that are a playground for adults! (If you reserve in advance, you can purchase it a little cheaper) The sky bike and extreme tower! The aerial bike is a round trip, but the middle is the most shaky, so it's the most thrilling place😆Totally thrilling~~ The Extreme Tower allows you to go around the tower by level, but the difficulty level is not easy enough to make it difficult👍🏻It's a perfect playground for adults, and you can have a unique date and experienceㅎㅎ Let's go go with excitement in the summer #GimhaeTravel #DateCourse #SummerCapture #Extreme #InlandTravel #UniqueDate #GayaThemePark #AirBike #ThemePark #SummerCapture

#OutdoorDate This time, I went to a cafe on the east coast of Gyeongnam with a really nice atmosphere. This is a place where you have to take off your shoes to enter, and it also has a really warm atmosphere!!! Most of the seats here are by the window, so you can sit while looking out the window, which was really nice. ⭐️⭐️ Also, most people are reading books or working on personal projects, so it was one of the quietest cafes!!!!! And there were so many different types of coffee, so it was really great. I really recommend that you all visit there at least once. 🔥 And the sweet potatoes were really delicious, so I really recommend that you try them🫰🏻

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent Do you know how delicious the bibim noodles and bok choy are here? Everyone! It's my favorite food and drink. It's really, really delicious. I recommend that you all visit here at least once. It's one of the places that I really, really liked, so I recommend it. It was really good. I recommend it!

#JapanFlightEvent This is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. I think it's probably the most famous Vietnamese restaurant in Guisan-dong! The interior of the store is really clean and classy! And the food is really similar to the taste you get in Vietnam. As someone who likes Vietnam and visits it often, I acknowledge it. ㅎㅎ

#2025OverseasTravelEvent I want to introduce you to a cafe that I really like. It's a place that you may have been to at least once. Gyeongsan is good, but if you go to a place in an old district, it's a cafe that has a title. The drip coffee is really delicious. I really want you to visit it at least once. It's a place. I recommend it.

South Gyeongsang Province Hapcheon | Encounter the tranquility of Thousand Buddhas and Thousand Pagodas Located in Hapcheon County, South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea, Thousand Buddhas and Thousand Pagodas is a Buddhist holy place surrounded by mountains. The "Thousand Buddhas and Thousand Pagodas" here are worthy of their name. There are thousands of pagodas and Buddha statues scattered among the mountains. From a distance, it looks like a stone Buddha forest. Compared to the bustling temples, this place is more like a quiet place for meditation. Walking through it, you will feel a deep sense of peace, as if every pagoda is silently guarding this piece of heaven and earth. One step, one view, experience the Zen nature The Thousand Buddhas and Thousand Pagodas trail winds through the valley, with various pagodas and stone carvings along the way. Each Buddha statue and each pagoda is carefully carved, with different shapes and vivid expressions, as if telling an ancient story. Zen experience: Relax your mind and body at the Thousand Buddhas and Thousand Pagodas This is not only a good place to take photos and check in, but also a place suitable for meditation and relaxation. You can stop in front of a pagoda, close your eyes, and quietly feel the natural sounds around you. As the breeze blows past my ears, I can seem to hear the sound of pine trees and birds singing. This rare tranquility makes people feel relaxed and happy, and makes them forget the hustle and bustle of the city. Must-visit photo spots: Stone Pagoda Trail and Observation Deck Stone Pagoda Trail: Walking on the winding stone steps, the pagodas on both sides make you feel like you are traveling through time and space, and any photo you take will be a picture full of Zen. Especially at sunrise or sunset, the sunlight shines through the gaps between the pagodas, giving each stone sculpture a soft color. Mountaintop Observation Deck: Climb up to the observation deck and you can overlook the entire Sakchuan Valley. The view is wide and the background of the photos is the rolling mountains and quiet pagodas, which is especially suitable for sunset. So beautiful!

I visited Cafe No Title, famous for its filter coffee!! The smell of coffee here was so good. There was a reason it was famous~ Even though I visited late at night, there were so many people visiting the cafe and drinking coffee! I drank filter coffee on a friend's recommendation, and the smell was good and the taste was good, so I drank a cup in one go🙂 There were a lot of seats and the space was well separated, so there were a lot of customers who came in groups of 4! These days, it's inconvenient to not have a seat if you go to a cafe with more than 2 people, but this place is spacious, so you don't have to worry about that🫶🏻 This is a cafe that I highly recommend to those who like a calm and quiet cafe! It's vintage and there are many places to take pictures. 📍Location 24, Hapseongnam 5-gil, Masanhoewon-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam ⏰Opening hours Regular closed on Wednesdays (every other Wednesday) Other times 12:00-22:00 ☕️ Filter coffee #Emotional cafe #Coffee restaurant #Cafe recommendation #cafe

I recommend No Title, a popular emotional cafe in Masan Hapseong-dong MZ, which has a warm atmosphere that is perfect for winter!! No Title also makes and sells various goods such as cups and phone cases!! ! The cups were so pretty that I bought one myself I came here for the first time in the evening, and the atmosphere was so warm and calm that it was a really nice cafe to drink coffee in! The space is also divided into two, so I recommend going to the space you like and drinking it👍🏻 It's near Masan Terminal, so it's a really good place to stop by when you have time left on the bus! If you have something to do, stop by!! 📍Location 24 Hapseongnam 5-gil, Masanhoewon-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam ⏰Opening hours Regular closed on Wednesdays (every other Wednesday) Other times 12:00-22:00 ☕️ Filter coffee #Emotional cafe #Cafe recommendation #Coffee restaurant #Changwon cafe

I visited a cozy cafe called No Title located behind the Masan Intercity Bus Terminal in Hapseong-dong. The cafe is made from a renovated house, so the space is well divided, making it a pleasant place to be. The atmosphere was very cozy! The owner seems to have a keen interest in pottery, as there were many beautiful pottery pieces and plates around the cafe! I tried the most famous filter coffee at No Title, and I could see why it's so popular! The coffee was amazing 👍🏻 If you visit Masan, you should definitely check it out. The coffee is delicious! 📍Location 24, Hapseongnam 5-gil, Masanhoewon-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam ⏰Business Hours Closed on Wednesdays (every other Wednesday) Other days: 12:00-22:00 ☕️ Filter Coffee

#NovemberTravelSupportEvent This is one of my favorite places where I can eat sushi that I really like! Since this is a chain restaurant, it was easy to order delivery from anywhere in the country! I've ordered from this sushi restaurant when I brought my friends from abroad to Korea, and they were all surprised that they deliver with this quality.

Located in Dong-ri, Yeongsan-myeon, Changnyeong-gun, Mannyeong Bridge, also known as "Wondari," is a unique structure built by hand, with each stone carefully stacked by people. Traditionally, during the full moon, locals would walk back and forth across the bridge according to their age, believing it would strengthen the bridge. I fondly remember holding my mother’s hand and doing the same, as did many in the neighborhood. Today, Mannyeong Bridge has become a popular photo spot for tourists, especially in autumn when the leaves turn a vibrant yellow, creating a picturesque backdrop. It’s a lovely place rich in history and tradition! 📍Address: Dong-ri, Yeongsan-myeon, Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea #voyagevibes

Miryang is renowned for its stunning autumn leaves and breathtaking mountain scenery. The picturesque views, with the zodiac statues lining the roadside and Miryang Lake flowing behind them, create a perfect backdrop for a fall getaway. Instead of just taking pictures, I recommend immersing yourself in the beauty of the surroundings and appreciating the vibrant colors of the season. One of the highlights of Miryang is Baenaegol, often referred to as the "Miryang Alps." This area is especially beautiful when the autumn leaves are at their peak. Miryang is truly a place you’ll want to visit every fall! 📍Address: 1759-2 Gore-ri, Danjang-myeon, Miryang, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea #voyagevibes

#koreatrip Jinhae Marine Park is another good leisure option here in South Korea. Located a few kilometers from Busan, this place has a marine museum, a destroyer museum, a large aquarium, and two large observation towers. One of them is a restaurant and to enjoy the view from the top, you need to reserve a table in advance. The other, larger one, we were unable to visit as it was closed to visitors, which was a great frustration, as this tower is the biggest attraction of the place. Parking is private and there is a small fee for visiting. The island has stunning views and I recommend coming in the afternoon to enjoy the Korean sunset. Address : 62 Myeongdong-ro, Ungcheon-dong, Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea

Sujebi is a handpulled dough soup noodle soup. This is one of my Korean comfort food favorite. Tried the one in this locals’ favorite restaurant in Gimhae. Priced at ₩ 7.500, the portion is quite big for me. The fresh seafood in the bowl is the highlight for me. Also tried their kalguksu priced at ₩ 8.000, the dough is 👍🏻👍🏻 📌 Sujebi Kalguksu 424-16 Hogye-ro Gimhae-si Gyeongsangnam-do (김해시 호계로 424-16) 🕦 11 AM - 4 PM #myhiddengems #EatLikeALocal #김해맛집 #koreanfood #gimhae #gyeongsangnamdo #southkorea

#koreatrip It is the fifth largest aquarium in Korea, and you can see a variety of marine life, such as a replica of the underwater ecosystem, a rare animal called shoebill, a descendant of dinosaurs, a very large hippopotamus known as 'Hasik', an albino sturgeon, otters, beavers, and seals. I was able to watch it with my child this time. Most programs are run on weekends, but Sacheon Aramaru is a great place to visit even on weekdays as it runs various ecological programs on weekdays as well.

#koreatrip Nice experience for tourism, you can bike through the old railway and enjoy the view. I come when the spring is almost over so there are not much flowers, so It would be nice if you come during the spring, so the flowers would bloom beautifully. The surroundings were decorated in a cute way, but it felt simple, and the rail bike that rattled in the river breeze and made the sound of a train was charming. There was a cup holder next to the chair, so it was nice to ride while drinking a cup of tea, and a slightly bland coffee was sold at the ticket office for 2,000 won.
