About this itinerary
This route covers 1 Descendants of the Sun filming location plus 2 nearby spots from other K-dramas — each "Filming spot" tag names the drama.
Filming spots on this route: Tongri Tan Tan Park, Constitutional Court Exhibition Hall, Bukchon Hanok Village Gamgodang Street. We picked the ones that are easy to visit and photograph, and filled the time in between with nearby sights and places to eat.
From Incheon Airport it takes about 4 hr 45 min by AREX and an express bus. Anything within about 20 minutes on foot, you walk.
You stay all 2 nights in Taebaek and start every day from the same place — no repacking.
Day 1: Tongri Market (5th, 15th, 25th), Tongri Tan Tan Park, Descendants of the Sun Filming Location. Lunch at Taebaek Dakgalbi, dinner at Hanseo Bang Kalguksu.
Day 2: Hwangji Free Market. Lunch at Jeongganeh Wang Mandu, dinner at Sushi Ten.
Day 3: Constitutional Court Exhibition Hall, Bukchon Hanok Village Gamgodang Street. Lunch at Suin Insadong Dakhanmari. Then head back to Incheon Airport.
Popular sights are busiest on weekend afternoons — start early for a calmer visit and better photos.
Times in this plan are worked out from the distance between stops and how long you stay at each one. Feel free to drop a stop or two for a slower pace. Every stop has location and directions buttons that open the map directly.
