Green-tea terraces on the western plateau, with a museum and a café selling green-tea ice cream. Indoors if it rains, fields if it does not.
The O'sulloc tea estate was planted on the Seogwang plateau from the 1980s by the Amorepacific group. The museum opened in 2001 in the shape of a tea cup, and the fields around it are the island's most photographed green.
Counted from the moment you step off the gangway. The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside.
35 minutes each way is the honest figure for gangjeong · taxi ~35 min, not the optimistic one. If your ship is late, cut the 1 hr 20 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
The Gangjeong women divers run a restaurant beside the southern terminal: noodle soup with the sea urchin they bring up themselves.
