📜 Day 1: Uncover the Secrets of the Baekje Kingdom

Once one of the three great kingdoms of ancient Korea, the Baekje Kingdom was a realm of immense artistic and cultural achievement. We’ll travel back in time to explore its two former capitals, both now designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Morning: The Mighty Gongsanseong Fortress

Your adventure begins in Gongju. We’ll ascend the Gongsanseong Fortress, a magnificent stronghold built along the Geum River. As you walk the ancient walls, feel the strategic genius of the Baekje people. From the top, the panoramic view of the modern city below, cradled by the historic fortress, is a moment you’ll want to capture forever.

Afternoon: The Reborn Splendor of a Royal Palace

Next, we journey to Buyeo, the last capital of Baekje. Here, you'll step into the Baekje Cultural Land, a stunningly recreated royal palace and village. Wander through the grand halls of Sabi Palace, imagine the lives of ancient royalty, and feel as if you've stepped onto the set of a historical drama.

A Taste of History for Lunch

Indulge in a lunch inspired by Baekje traditions. Savor Yeonipbap, a healthy and aromatic dish of rice steamed in a lotus leaf, or try Ureong Ssambap, a delicious local delicacy of fresh river snail and vegetables wrapped in crisp lettuce.

Legends and Breathtaking Views

We'll visit the serene Jeongnimsa Temple Site, home to an elegant five-story stone pagoda that has stood for centuries. Then, at Busosanseong Fortress, we'll visit Nakhwaam Rock (Rock of Falling Flowers). Here, you’ll hear the tragic legend of 3,000 Baekje court ladies who chose honor over surrender by leaping into the river below as the kingdom fell. The sublime beauty of the river from this cliff is a poignant reminder of Baekje's glorious and tragic past.

Evening: Seaside Serenity

After a day of historical immersion, we'll check into a comfortable resort at Daecheon Beach. Let the gentle sound of the West Sea waves soothe you as you relax. For dinner, we’ll feast on the ocean's bounty—savor delicious grilled clams or the savory delight of soy-marinated crab (Ganjang Gejang) at a local restaurant with a view of the sea.

🌊 Day 2: The Wild West Coast & A Muddy Adventure!

Get ready for a scenic drive along one of Korea's most spectacular coastlines, filled with unique landscapes and unforgettable experiences.

Morning: Korea's Only "Desert"

Our first stop is the Sinduri Coastal Sand Dunes, a surreal and breathtaking natural wonder. This is Korea’s largest sand dune system, where a vast expanse of golden sand meets the blue ocean. Kick off your shoes, feel the soft sand beneath your feet, and capture incredible photos in this otherworldly landscape.

A Picture-Perfect Stop at Kkotji Beach

We’ll visit Kkotji Beach in Anmyeondo, famous for its iconic "Grandma and Grandpa Rocks." This picturesque spot is renowned as one of Korea's best sunset locations, but its dramatic beauty is stunning at any time of day.

Lunch by the Sea

Recharge with a classic West Coast meal. Slurp down a warm, comforting bowl of Haemul Kalguksu (hearty handmade noodle soup packed with fresh clams and seafood) or, if in season, feast on succulent grilled prawns.

Afternoon: Get Playful with World-Famous Boryeong Mud! (Seasonal Option)

No trip to this coast is complete without experiencing the legendary Boryeong Mud at Daecheon Beach. Famous for the annual Mud Festival, this mineral-rich mud is fantastic for your skin. Get ready to have some fun! Smear the therapeutic mud all over, laugh with your friends or family, and create a truly unique and hilarious travel memory.

Late Afternoon: Return to Seoul

With cameras full of photos and hearts full of memories, we’ll begin our comfortable journey back to Seoul, leaving you with the unforgettable stories of Korea’s ancient history and wild, natural beauty.
