해신 · 완도

Connect the 2004 maritime-trade drama to Cheonghaepogu, built for the production, and to Wando’s sea and Jang Bogo’s history.

  1. 01
    Choose a starting point

    Check long-distance buses from Gwangju or Mokpo to Wando and local transport to the set; allow the flexibility of an overnight stay.

  2. 02
    Choose one

    See the coastal gates, landing and wooden buildings, reading drama set design separately from the history of Jang Bogo’s Cheonghaejin.

  3. 03
    Plan your return

    Add either Wando Tower or a seafood market and decide whether to stay overnight rather than rely on the last bus off the island.

Three final checks

Check conditions that could disrupt plans before assessing recommendation strength.

  1. 01

    The 2004 sets have been repaired, removed or reused; the broadcast-era arrangement is not guaranteed.

  2. 02

    Recheck sea wind, rain, typhoons, outdoor walking, closure days and last entry with the operator.

  3. 03

    About 50 productions used this site; do not assume another production’s building or decoration belongs exclusively to 해신.
