📍 Destination Overview
Tongyeong, on Korea's southern coast, is the gateway to Hallyeohaesang Maritime National Park, nicknamed the “Korean Naples” for its port charm and seafood. It honours Admiral Yi Sun-sin at the Chungnyeolsa shrine. A cross-sea cable car shows the harbour and islands, while the seafood market and Dongpirang mural village complete this charming resort.
