    Location Overview

    Location Introduction

     

    LOCATION:   SOUTH KOREA, Jeollanam-do, Goheung

     


    Located in the southwestern part of the Korean Peninsula, Goheung County in Jeollanam-do consists of Goheung Peninsula, 38 inhabited islands, and 122 uninhabited islands.

    Except for its border with Boseong County, it is surrounded by the South Sea, fostering a close relationship between residents' lives and transportation with the ocean.

    Known as an aerospace city, Goheung is renowned for the Naro Space Center and the Space Launch Observation Deck, particularly noted for its stunning coastal scenery, making it a landmark of Goheung.

    Moreover, Goheung is famous for its specialty products such as yuzu and pomegranates cultivated in clear and pristine natural environments, as well as true yellowtail produced only in certain areas along the Namhae Coast.

    From aerospace to surfing and fresh local specialties, Goheung offers a diverse range of attractions.

    Come and visit Goheung to experience its unique charms!

     

    ■ Recommended travel destinations

     

    1. Naro Space Center Space Science Museum

    The Naro Space Center Space Science Museum is where Korea's dreams and hopes in space begin. This museum features a permanent exhibition themed around the basics of space, including rockets, satellites, and space exploration, with over 90 exhibits available for interactive exploration. In addition to the permanent exhibitions, it offers facilities such as a special exhibition hall, 3D and 4D theaters, and an outdoor exhibition area, providing various opportunities to easily engage with and enjoy space science. Located on Naro Island, this space science museum is a must-visit destination. We also recommend visiting Sook Island along with Naro Island to fully enjoy your trip!

     

     

    2. Palgyeong Mountain 

    Palgyeong Mountain is the tallest mountain in Goheung, consisting of eight peaks known for its rugged terrain and abundance of rocky cliffs. The panoramic view of the Dadohae Sea from the summit of Palgyeong Mountain is considered one of the most beautiful landscapes in Goheung. When you see it in person, you'll be overwhelmed by the stunning scenery spread out before your eyes. The curving islands of Goheung and their coastlines meeting the sea are another gift bestowed by Palgyeong Mountain. With several hiking trails available, it's a recommended destination for hiking enthusiasts visiting Goheung.

     

     

    3. The Pine and Oak Forest on Wainaro Island 

    The Pine and Oak Forest on Wainaro Island is situated on Bongnaesan Mountain. While Bongnaesan Mountain is renowned for its sea views from the summit, it garners even more attention for its lush, rare forest of dense green trees, unlike any other found elsewhere in Korea. Established over 100 years ago, these 200,000 square meters of pine and oak tree groves provide a serene resting place for hikers at any time. Designated as a national forestry cultural asset, Wainaro Island's Pine and Oak Forest was created to transform barren forests into beautiful, healthy woodlands, attracting numerous tourists today
