More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the coach into a courtyard of low-tiled roofs and the air smells faintly of toasted sesame and steamed rice — Jeonju’s hanok district makes a quiet first claim on your senses. Over the next five days the landscape moves from tiled village lanes to the wind-driven reeds of Suncheon Bay, the camellia-draped cliffs of Yeosu and the emerald terraces of Boseong’s tea fields, each place offering a distinct chapter of Korea’s western flank.
