Have you traveled to Korea? There are so many famous places in Korea for sightseeing, such as ‘경복궁’ (Gyeong-bokgung Palace), ‘남산’ (Namsan Mountain), and ‘종로’ (Jongno). But today, I’m going to introduce an underrated place to travel. It’s only known to a few people. The name of the place is ‘변산반도’ (Byeon-san bando Peninsula).
Byeonsan Peninsula is a hidden gem on Korea’s west coast, offering stunning natural beauty, cultural heritage, and delicious local cuisine.
Located in Buan-gun, Jeollabuk-do, Byeonsan Peninsula is where mountains meet the sea, forming a unique landscape of rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, and lush forests. It’s home to Byeonsanbando National Park, Korea’s only national park that includes both mountain and coastal ecosystems. Must-visit spots include the dramatic Chaeseokgang Cliffs, the serene Naesosa Temple nestled in a pine forest, and the scenic Byeonsan Masil-gil walking trail that stretches along the coast.
For food lovers, the region is famous for its fresh seafood. Don’t miss bajirak juk (clam porridge), hoe-muchim (spicy raw fish salad), and grilled cuttlefish served with savory side dishes. With its tranquil atmosphere and rich offerings, Byeonsan is perfect for travelers seeking both relaxation and authentic Korean experiences.
