03 / THERE IS A CITY BETWEEN THE VIEWS

TAKE THE
LONG WAY
TO LUNCH.

Leave space for a market, a cafe and a street you did not plan to find. Gamcheon's hillside lanes add another perspective to a coastal visit.

  • Choose one area at a time. Do not treat all four experiences as a single walking route.
  • Check the journey from your actual starting point before you go.
  • Check current visiting hours, keep conversations quiet in residential lanes and respect signs about photography.
