Terraced rows of tea plants climbing the hillsides — the most photographed green landscape in the south.
Rows of tea planted along the contours of the hills turn the slopes into green ribbons. A cedar avenue leads in from the gate, and the path climbs to a lookout where the terraces fall away below; at the bottom, tea houses serve green-tea ice cream and cold brew from the same fields.
Wetlands, bamboo forests, tree-lined roads and green tea fields make Jeollanam-do an easy place to slow down.

Take your time here
The best visits are unhurried. Notice how the landscape, everyday life and local history meet here, then leave room for the details that are easy to miss at first glance.

Small things that make the visit better
