About this place

Rocky peaks, silver-grass slopes and distant sea views above Jangheung.

Cheongwansan rises between Gwansan-eup and Daedeok-eup in Jangheung. Distinctive rock formations line its ridges, while autumn brings silver grass to the upper slopes. On clear days, the mountain opens towards the southern coast. Choose a route that suits your experience and allow time for the descent.

Wetlands, bamboo forests, tree-lined roads and green tea fields make Jeollanam-do an easy place to slow down.
