"If you're looking to ditch the typical tourist traps and explore some hidden gems in South Korea, then Suncheon in Jeollanam-do is the spot for you! Nestled about 4-5 hours south of Seoul, Suncheon is a rising star in the eco-city scene thanks to its stunning natural attractions. One such wonder is the breathtaking Suncheon Bay, which was even featured in a BBC documentary. And if you're lucky enough to catch the sunset here, get ready for a view that will leave you speechless. But wait, there's more! The Suncheon Bay Garden is another must-see spot in this up-and-coming city. Get lost in its picturesque landscapes and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. And if you're craving some urban vibes, nearby Yeosu is just a 40-minute ride away. This major port city is buzzing with hip cafes & trendy hangouts, perfect for those looking to soak up some local culture. 🎒 (Kinda) day-trip-friendly from Gwangju, Yeosu (recommended) or Seoul"
