You left your plans at home, right? Then you're all set.
Hi there!
I'm Dokko, your guide at Amudena.
I'm actually a burr seed, the kind that hitches a ride on passersby's clothes and travels.
This time, I'm sticking to you!
“Amudena” is Korean for “anywhere.” Wherever the wheel lands, that’s where you’re going.
Amudena travel rules
Just four promises before we go!
- NO appsPhone for calls and camera only! Let the rest take a nap.
- NO reservationsPick your stay and your meals when you get there. Kinda exciting, right?
- NO GPSFind your way with a paper map and by asking the locals.
- NO expresswaysNational and local roads only. You see more when you go slow.
How to use this book
Stay 1Eat 1Café 1See 1 Stay 1, Eat 3, Café 1, See 2...
calling things by number is handy.
Like "Call Stay 3!"
- We haven't been there ourselves. But you can call and judge for yourself. So what will you choose?
- We left out prices on purpose. If you're curious... yep, call them.
- As of October 2026. Different from what you see? That's travel too!
- Bring your own paper map. I'm a seed, so I don't have one. I just stick on and go.

What's Yeonggwang-gun like?
I'll tell you just a little of what I know.
A county on the West Sea. Beopseongpo has a whole street of gulbi (dried yellow croaker)!
Baeksu-eup's coastal road has a sunset observatory, Yeomsan-myeon has sea salt farms, and Nagwol-myeon has islands.
Inland, Bulgap-myeon has Bulgapsa Temple, and Beopseong-myeon has the spot where Buddhism first arrived in Baekje.

This year's festival calendar
💡TIP! No festival info for this year yet. Asking a local is the fastest way.
