The Western Coast of South Korea
Jeju Island, off Soutwest Korea
South Korea's western and southwestern coast, along the Yellow Sea, is characterized by mountains, pristine forests, temples and the spectacular narrow valleys of Naejangsan National Park. The park, about a four-hour drive south of Seoul, offers magnificent scenery, hiking trails and an opportunity to relax and view great fall colors. A little farther north is the town of Buyeo.
For those interested in bamboo baskets, plan a few hours in Damyang, 20 mi/32 km northeast of Gongju. Other sights in the area include Daecheon Beach, Sudeoksa Temple, Seosan Marine National Park and Hongdo Island.
