Gyongnam is embedded in nature. Surrounded by ocean and islands, blessed with pristine mountains and nurtured with lively rivers, this scenic area in the southeast part of the Republic of Korea is perfect for getting in touch with the basics and reviving traditions.

Gyongnam is home to the Taebaek Mountains, the Sobaek Mountains, 400 islands, a national marine park as well as more modern settings, including Korea’s ship and auto-making facilities, and what’s called a Robot Valley.

Historic attractions abound as well. Visitors can experience Samseonggun, a temple for worshipping Korea’s founders and where martial artists come to train and get spiritual. Haeinsa Temple in Hapcheon is another historic spot, and home to the Palmandaejanggyeong, or the Tripitaka Koreana, which has been designated a UNESCO world heritage.

The region is also rich in expert craftsmen of mother-of-pearl lacquer-ware. Artistically, the MoonShin Museum at Masan displays an abundance of creative works by the famous Moon Shin.

And of course, what Korean province would be complete without its festivals? The Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival and the Tongyoung International Music Festival are just two of the galas that keep the locals and visitors entertained.
