1. Seonyudo
Seonyudo
37-12 Seonyunam-gil, Okdo-myeon, Gunsan-si
The first place to visit in Gunsan is Seonyudo, a beautiful island travel destination selected by CNN. It was originally called Gunsando, but because the island’s scenery was so beautiful, it was renamed Seonyudo because it was said to be a place where gods played.
There are many things to do here, such as ziplines and ATVs, and it is a popular summer healing spot where you can spend your time leisurely at Seonyudo Beach or Saemangeum Seawall.
Because of its island nature, it is difficult to accommodate tourists’ vehicles, so taking a boat from Gunsan Port to enter comfortably may be a good way.
2. Cheongamsan Mountain Trail
Cheongamsan Mountain Trail
816 Oksan-ri, Oksan-myeon, Gunsan-si
Cheongamsan Mountain Trail is a waterside walking trail in Gunsan Lake Park that embraces Cheongamsan Mountain. It is a hidden attraction that is often visited only by Gunsan citizens and not well known to the outside world.
The entrance to the trail is a reed forest that creates a silvery spectacle in the fall. In addition, there are many plants and animals in various wetlands with high conservation value, making it a healing travel course filled with the scent of the lake and grass.
It is a very accessible attraction as it is adjacent to various tourist attractions such as Gunsan’s Modern History Museum and Modern Architecture Museum, and it is a great attraction to visit when you want to take a light walk or heal in the city. 3. Gyeongam-dong Railroad Village
Gyeongam-dong Railroad Village

Gyeongam-dong Railroad Village, which exudes a retro atmosphere, is a representative tourist village in Gunsan. It is a place where you can feel like you have traveled back in time, as it has restored and preserved the railroad that transport ships used in the late Joseon Dynasty.
There are many things to see and experience, such as old snacks, toys, and school uniform experiences, so it is a great place for people of all ages to have a good time. It is a place with a novel charm that allows adults to reminisce about the past and young people to create new memories.
It is also famous as a dating spot, and there is a place where you can rent a school uniform and take Polaroid photos on the railroad, so it is popular with couples, so we recommend you visit this place in Gunsan together. 4. Hirotsu House
Hirotsu House

Hirotsu House is a Japanese-style house built by the wealthy Hirotsu during the Japanese colonial period. It is a two-story wooden Japanese samurai residence. It has maintained its original appearance, making it a famous place with great architectural significance.
It retains the typical appearance of a Japanese-style house, such as a tatami room, a dressing room, a Japanese-style closet, and a tokonoma for welcoming guests, making it a place that gives a strange feeling of time travel.
This is where various Japanese-style movies and dramas were filmed, such as The General’s Son, Tazza, and The Story of Maljukgeori. If you want to see those scenes in person, I recommend visiting this place. Eunpa Lake Park
