Namwon City Kim Byung-jong Art Museum
남원시립김병종미술관
Located within the Chunhyang Theme Park in Namwon, Jeollabuk-do, the Namwon City Kim Byung-jong Art Museum is a public museum operated directly by Namwon City. Its collection was established when Korean painter Kim Byung-jong, a Namwon native, donated a large number of his representative works to the city. The museum sits humbly facing Jirisan Mountain, often called the 'Mother Mountain.' It is a place where clouds flowing along the mountains are the busiest and birdsong is the most vibrant—a place where people slow down and the sound of speech becomes a luxury. Here, nature, art, and literature harmoniously coexist.MoreLess

Seodo Station
서도역
A train station on the Jeolla Line, Seodo Station is located between Sanseong Station (downbound) and Osu Station (upbound).

Since July 1, 2008, it has operated as an unmanned whistle-stop without station staff. Today, Seodo Station is widely visited as the setting of Choi Myeong-hee's novel 'Honbul,' and it continues to attract young couples as a popular photo spot set against the backdrop of the old railway tracks.MoreLess

- 4Maewoldang
매월당
After a large-scale wild tea habitat was discovered around the Manhakdong Valley in Maechon Village, Namwon, at the foot of Boryeonsan Mountain, Maewoldang has carried on the legacy of Namwon tea by developing it into the form of Goryeo cake tea (dancha). Harvesting wild green tea, Maewoldang produces fermented green tea through traditional roasting and drying processes. It also operates a tea ceremony experience center in a traditional thatch-roofed cottage (saetjip) that blends seamlessly with the traditional green tea, allowing visitors to savor the tea's aroma. It is an appealing space for promoting the excellence of Korean traditional tea culture through opportunities to experience it amidst pristine natural surroundings.MoreLess
