  1. 01
    Choose a starting point

    Check Taebaek’s current visitor information for Tongri Tantan Park opening days, fees and hours, and plan transport from Taebaek Station first.

  2. 02
    Choose one

    See exhibits and landforms in the regenerated former mining area as well as series-related sets; allow time for industrial history.

  3. 03

    Add a meal in central Taebaek or Hwangji Pond, and prioritize mountain weather and your return train or bus.

Three final checks

Check conditions that could disrupt plans before assessing recommendation strength.

  1. 01

    Broadcast-era set descriptions and 2026 operations are different; recheck what remains, closures and paid areas on the day.

  2. 02

    The series was filmed in several regions; do not present Taebaek as the location of every scene.

  3. 03

    Allow for highland temperature changes, rain or snow and the last transport; do not enter after closing.

Save this trip for your next check.
