With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Hampyeong, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Dolmeori Beach, Hampyeong Expo Park and Bulgapsa Temple. The locals will also likely point you toward Gwangju, 30 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Geumnam-ro Street. (But we’d also recommend Kumho Family Land and Gwangju Art Street.)
