Spending a Day in Muju, Jeollabuk-do

Stop by Susimdae, the 12th of the Thirty Three Sights of Mujugucheondong Valley, to look out over the cool valley where jade-clear water flows, and if it is the right season, enjoying a rural farm experience in Namcheon Village makes the trip even better. Above all, Muju is known as the home of fireflies. Visit Bandi Land, famous as the venue for the Firefly Festival, to explore the Insect Museum and the Firefly Ecological Restoration Site.
