Discover Mungyeong: Unlock the Magic of Korea's Hidden Gem

Mungyeong City Travel Guide Located in Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea, Mungyeong is a charming city, beautiful in all seasons, but especially in spring and autumn. Spring brings vibrant mountain flowers, while autumn ignites the landscape with fiery red leaves, and both seasons offer the most pleasant weather. Upon arriving in Mungyeong, first head to the Mungyeong Saejae Provincial Park. Known for its rugged terrain, it was once believed that even birds struggled to fly over it. Stroll along the trails to admire the rocks, streams, and waterfalls, as well as the precious sandalwood growing area. Three historic gates, the ruins of the Mungyeong Saejae Pass, and the folk song monument tell tales of the past. The park's KBS historical drama filming location offers an immersive experience of ancient Korean life. Next, visit the Omija Theme Tunnel, a repurposed coal mine tunnel. Inside the 540-meter tunnel, the omija (schisandra berry) exhibition area features a captivating interplay of light and shadow effects and art installations. When the omija flowers are in full bloom, the scene is truly dreamlike. Don't miss out on the local cuisine. Try the perilla kalguksu at Chaega Nae, where the fragrant perilla perfectly complements the chewy handmade noodles, offering a taste of authentic local flavor. For accommodation, we recommend the resort hotels near Mungyeong Saejae, which provide both tranquility and convenient access to attractions.
