Travel InformationTop 5 Tourist Attractions in Tongyeong, the Naples of Korea

A city with beautiful seas, islands, and everyday life : )


Hello. This is Wonder Tour! We offer tours not only in Busan but also in Gyeongsangnam-do.


Today, we’d like to introduce Tongyeong, a coastal city located just a little south of Busan.


Since Busan is already well known, many travelers ask us where to go next —

and Tongyeong is often our first recommendation.



With its sea views, island scenery, and easy-to-manage travel routes,

Tongyeong is an excellent choice for first-time visitors to Korea’s southern coast.



Tongyeong is a port city on the southern coast of Gyeongsangnam-do,

located at the heart of the Hallyeohaesang National Marine Park.


Often called “the Naples of Korea,” the city is surrounded by the sea and numerous islands.


It takes about two hours by car from Busan, making it ideal for a day trip or an overnight stay.



1️⃣ Mireuksan Cable Car


One of the best viewpoints in Tongyeong.

From the top, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the sea and surrounding islands.

On a clear day, this is often the most memorable part of the trip.



2️⃣ Dongpirang Mural Village


A small hillside village overlooking Tongyeong Port.

Colorful murals, narrow alleys, and sea views make it a pleasant place for a short walk and photos.



3️⃣ Tongyeong Jungang Market & Seoho Market


The best places to experience local life in Tongyeong.

Visitors can try regional dishes such as Chungmu gimbap and fresh seafood,

which are especially popular with international travelers.



4️⃣ Hallyeohaesang Cruise


A relaxing cruise that allows visitors to see Tongyeong’s islands up close.

It’s a convenient way to enjoy the coastal scenery within a short amount of time.



5️⃣ Yi Sun-sin Park


A quiet seaside park ideal for walking and relaxing.

The park also honors Admiral Yi Sun-sin, a respected historical figure in Korea,

combining nature with cultural significance.


Tongyeong may not feel flashy at first glance, but it’s a city that grows on you the more time you spend there.


For travelers looking to go beyond Busan, Tongyeong is an easy and rewarding next destination.


We’ll continue to share more travel ideas around southern Korea in future posts.
