[KOREA] 통영 TONGYEONG

After done exploring Geoje, this city is the perfect place as the next visit because it located right next to Geoje. Perfect place to do island hopping since this city is blessed with many small islands around.

TONGYEONG

TRANSPORTATION FROM/TO TONGYEONG

It is quite decent city, so it has lots of bus schedule to Seoul or city around it. You can take bus from every bus terminal in Seoul ( Dongseoul, Nambu, and Gyeongbu) to Tongyeong with travel time around 4hours drive & ticket price around ₩33000, and if you come from Busan, it just takes around 1 hour drive.

TRANSPORTATION AROUND TONGYEONG

As i said before, it has many public bus to explore around the city with bus interval around 10-15 mins ( quite similar to Seoul and Busan), so it doesn't really necessary to take taxi or even rent a  car

ACCOMODATION 

So many choices of hotel and resorts around but i stayed in Jimjibang like usually HAHA i stayed at 테마사우나 thema sauna (경상남도 통영시 중앙로 24)  for ₩11000/night it located  around ferry terminal area and around 20 mins bus ride.

MUST DO

통영케이블카

TONGYEONG CABLE CAR

경상남도 통영시 발개로 205 

OPEN HOUR 9.30AM~5PM

₩11000/ roundtrip

I found not so many place to visit than temples and museum and i am not historical kinda person so bye bye HAHA so the only place that i visited in Tongyeong is CABLE CAR. I thought this as #1 must do in tongyeong since you can see the whole tongyeong and southern sea islands from top of Mt. Mireuksan. It just takes around 10 minutes / oneway but the view is super breathtaking!!

And after you reach the top, you can enjoy the view from the most beautiful restarea that you've ever seen OR observatory. So many choices of observatory here, you can just take one floor up or do lil hiking/

CURHAT TIMEEEEEEEE :( so actually the next day, i planned to do island hopping from ferry terminal to bijindo and island around BUT suddenly because of thyphoon prediction, all ferry schedule was cancelled till 3 days later so no choice than i have to go back to Seoul. So i recommended if you have many spare time, you can just do one day trip to some islands around tongyeong, hope can come here nexttttt time i don't know when :(

*sad ending*
