2024 Taean-gun Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)

A nice vacation at Island Resom Hotel

#poolhotel #100waysoftravel We plan to go for a short weekend getaway from Seoul, and we found this hotel at Taean called Island Resom Hotel & Spa. This is a hotel meant for healing and relaxation, and it has a spa in it. Consisting of 200 rooms including pensions, it provides one of the best amenities among hotels in Korea. There is an outdoor spa available for usage and guests can pay an extra fee to use the outdoor spa. The view is excellent especially sunset. At night, there are performance available at the verandah and you can purchase some drinks and food to enjoy it. The beach also offers activities such as canoe and paddle board. Our hotel room faces directly to the sea so we get an excellent view from our balcony. It was a great getaway and we will like to return here in the future.

Taean Tulip Festival

#springblossom Hands down the best festival that I've been to in Korea. The tulips were absolutely gorgeous and there was plenty to see and do (and eat!) There was a foreigners discount on admission tickets so that was a pleasant surprise.It's an impressive and very exciting flower garden. We can arrange a beautiful flower garden. There are a lot of tulips. You need to take a pattern of turning any corner and press the shutter. It feels very good, and I recommend it if my friends want to travel. Please come to Thean, I'm not disappointed with the tulip festival.

Mallipo Beach: the Cali of Korea

Located on the the west coast of Korea in Taean. Accessible by bus. I took a bus to Taean bus terminal then a cab to the hotel. I arrived late so no more buses running. A cab ride cost me about 30,000 KRW. If you decide to take the bus back to the terminal make sure you check what the times are and plan accordingly. These are rural buses and run a little later sometimes. If you want a cab, I would would recommend catching a cab from the bus stop. After checking in I went to go look at the beach. The tide was low. The side of the beach I was on is the quieter side and the lively side is on the opposite end. The middle section of the beach they have surfing equipment for rent and offer lessons if you want it. They also have paddle boarding. I also saw people riding jet skis and boat. They also have beach markets set up in this section. I think they called this section of the beach “water park”. The opposite end of my hotel is the lively side. They have restaurants, cafes, and a fair like park next to the beach. People shoot fireworks off in this side of the beach. There is also a giant water structure on this end. It is a good photo spot. The fair is located across the beach they have fair games, snacks and a couple rides. You could also rent the two wheeled motor bikes to drive around. The tide stayed low the whole time and the water is shallow. #Mallipo #westcoast #korea #beach #Mallipobeach #surfing #surf #southkorea #Koreanbeaches

Romantic Beach Trip to 'Sambong Beach'

Sambong Beach is located in Changgi-ri, Anmyeon-eup, Taean-gun. This expansive beach will leave you in awe the moment you step onto its shore. While it's a great place to visit during the day, the sunset here is particularly stunning. Make sure to check the sunset time and visit to enjoy the beautiful sunset! (Watching the changing colors of the sky and sea at different times is also a delight!) How about a romantic trip to Sambong Beach at sunset? 📍Sambong Beach ▫️Location: Changgi-ri, Anmyeon-eup, Taean-gun, Chungnam

A cafe with style, Kopi Bali at Taean gun

#myhiddengems While waitimg for our bus to Island Resom at Taean Central Bus station, we dropped by this cafe called Kopi Bali, specializing in making coffee using Balinese coffee beans. The cafe has a very stylish interior design and some cozy chairs to relax on. We ordered 2 cups of hand dripped Balinese specialty beans coffee, and they are really good. The aroma of the beans is really earthy, and the freshly grinded coffee immediately fills the mouth after sipping. It is really a nice waiting experience, especially when you found something interesting.

A nice hotpot rice in a resort, Damsot

#myhiddengems We were having our vacation at Island Resom and while looking for a place for dinner, we fpund this restaurant called Damsot selling rice in hotpot, and you can choose various items to be added on top, like beef steak, salmon, eel etc. We ordered 2 sets of hotpot rice with cube steaks and grilled eel, and a side dish of prawn and brinjal cutlet. The taste was incredibly excellent, ths riceis soft yet crispy at the bottom and side. The brinjal and prawn cutlet is also awesome, crispy at the outside and soft in the inside. The vacation is made better with the nice dinner, satisfying indeed.

A nice and cozy cafe at the entrance of Anmyeondo

#myhiddengems Anmyeondo is an island located offcoast from Taean gun. We took a bus from Taean city and reach the end of the route when we are about to walk to Island Resom, we stopped by this cafe called Del Mar Hotel and Cafe. It is a hotel by original and has a cafe below but we have just visited the cafe. We ordered the Philadelphia Cheese cake and Americano, and the interior is very nice and cozy. Hearing the rain drops peter pater outside the cafe is also very comforting, and the afternoon is really well spent, and I really yearned for such atmosphere everytime.

A local delight in Taean, crab soup at Deoksu Sikdang

#myhiddengems Crab soup is the famous delicacy in Taean, and this shop called Deoksu Sikdang serves an excellent pot of crab soup. We ordered a pot for 2 pax which comes with two big flower crabs in a soy bean paste pot stew. The side dish is also very scumptious and they even serves soy sauce crab as side dish, which is very generous for a restaurant. Each crab is full of flesh and we nibbled each and every parts of the crab so as not to miss any of the flesh. A meal costs 34000 won for 2 which is reasonable for a scumptious meal like this, and we definitely will go again.

A nice dinner of local food at Taean, Bab Cho Restaurant

#myhiddengems We were visitng Taean and would like to try some local dishes, so we went to this famous lical restaurant callrd Bap Cho, where the locals frequently patronage. One of their famous dish is the stewed cutlass fish but we added the fried spicy pork slices. The dishes were prepared fast and we tasted them immediately, they were so good to go with rice and we enjoyed them so much. You will know the restaurant is good when you see many locals walking in and they know the owner of the shop, giving the unspoken testimony of good food. A very good dimner experience in anotjer town.

Private Beachfront Kkujina Mugol Campsite!

- Kkujina Mugol Campsite - Check-in: After 2 PM / Check-out: By 11 AM Taean has many campsites, but Kkujina Mugol Campsite is the closest to the sea among those I've visited so far! It's run by local residents, so it's well-maintained. The Kkujina Mugol Beach is almost exclusively used by the campsite visitors, making it pleasantly uncrowded. You can enjoy fresh seafood from nearby, and with plenty of shade, it's a cool place to camp even in summer. Highly recommended!

An exciting ATV/Go-Kart adventure at Taean

#outdooradventures #100waysoftravel During our vacation at Anmyeon-do, Taean, we ventured onto an outdoor adventure of ATV Go Kart ride, and this is a very exciting adventure. We were brought by the leader along the road, then to the empty beachfront where there are plenty of space for us to ride our vehicle. There are also other members joining our convoy, so that makes our trip much more fun. The difference between a Kart and an ATV is that a Kart can fetch 2 person and does not require a driving license ro operate, but an ATV requires a license to operate and only 1 person per vehicle. It was a very exciting adventure and we will do it again.

Taean Pool Villa Amare

Visiting Tine Fall Villa Amar was a comfortable and luxurious experience 🌴. Located in a quiet spot with a beautiful sea view, this villa offers the perfect environment to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery 🌊. I enjoyed swimming in the private pool and exploring the surrounding area, which added to the natural beauty 🌅. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, making Tine Fall Villa Amar an ideal destination for a pleasant and comfortable time.

One of the cleanest beaches in Korea

#koreatrip One of the cleanest beaches in Korea. Great spot for flying kites, beachcombing, and swimming. Small waves are good for learning surfing or stand up paddleboarding. Low tide goes way, way out, so prepare for a walk out on the sand. If you can, avoid driving along the waterfront, as it becomes too crowded to get anywhere. Park on the north end by the CU or in the large lot near the main entrance to the beach.

Kkotji Shoreline Park

#springblossom Korea Flower Park Tulip Festival I really liked the park that was better than I expected~ I heard that food is too expensive at other festivals. At a more reasonable price than I thought, the taste is just a normal hit. There was also a restaurant at the entrance, and when you go inside, it's good because there's a place to eat and rest, such as Korean food buffet, tteokbokki, oden, kalguksu, etc. There's something like a tractor that you can look around around.. It's good to take a walk and take pictures in the middle of the flower road. I want to go again next year~

Taean Tulip Festival

#springblossom This tulip festival is amazing! It costs 12,000/ adult to get in but it was well worth it. Go there very, very early (as soon as the park opens) because it is so big and there are millions of tulips to look at. The designs this year were spectacular! We went during the weekend so there were lots of people, if you can, it's better to go there during the week. The festival starts in mid-April through the first week of May, but the best time to go there is at the end of April when the tulips are in full bloom. There are food stalls in the park - by the entrance and exit, and the price is pretty reasonable.

Korea Flower Park

#springblossom It costs you 12,000 won to enter here if you're an adult, and 9,000 won if you are over 36 mo. Quite expensive but it is worth the price. A very big place where you can see a lot of tulips and lupines and plus you can still see double cherry blossoms trees here! What a lovely place for flowers lover! All I can say, this place is beautiful. Recommend!!!!

Taean Tulip Festival

Garden by the beach

Located in Taean, South Korea on the west coast of Korea on Chollipo Beach. Accessible by bus. I took the route of bus then cab. This garden houses over 16,00 plant species according the the brochure. You can also rent some homes for a stay in the garden. There are are cafes, an art gallery, a shop and a garden shop, which is the exit. You can also learn about the man who spent his time building the garden. For plant lovers, I believe that this is the place for them. I just enjoy being out and looking at the different plants. They have a couple of spots where you can sit and look at the beach. You can also sit there to watch the sunset too. The brochure says average time spent is 1.5 hours. I easily spent 2.5 hours there. You cannot access the beach from the garden. You have to leave to get there. You can get to the beach from cafe pension which is nearby. Next to the bus parking lot. #Taean #Chollipo #Chollipobeach #beach #korea #westcoast

#myperfectstaycation Club 596 in taean south korea You need to go to taean bus terminal and than take a taxi for 10 mins to reach the place. It is a pention near the sea site and clamping. You can do your barbeque while watching the sea. It was such a nice healing time after my stressing weeks of my studies. The sea was beautiful and rooms were very comfortable. The beds had heating under them so it was very hot during winter. You need to bring your food but the cooking materials are provided. Sunset and sunrise view is very healing
