Gangjin Dawon Tea Plantation is located at the southern foot of Wolchulsan Mountain in Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City. The area’s big temperature difference between day and night and the frequent thick fog provide ideal conditions for tea cultivation. The tea cultivated at Gangjin Dawon has a strong scent and rarely tastes bitter. Gangjin Dawon is the home of the nation’s first green tea product “Baegunokpancha.” Since 1980, an extensive area of mountainous territory has been cultivated for green tea production to become the more than 80 acres of green tea fields that it is today. As Gangjin Dawon is relatively lesser known than the green tea fields in Boseong, visitors can enjoy a relaxing time surrounded by the vastness of the green tea fields. Nearby attractions include Baengnyeonsa Temple, the Birthplace of Yeongnang, Gangjin Goryeo Cheongja kiln site, and Dasan Chodang, the house where the famous scholar Dasan Jeong Yak-yong (1762-1836) lived during his exile.

This village with 29 hanok (traditional Korean house) is surrounded by Wolchulsan Mountain like a folding screen. About 10 of those unique houses offer a friendly hanok lodging experience for tourists by renting out one or two guestrooms. It is fun to see the yards of each house decorated differently from its front yard. The observatory at the village offers a panoramic view of towering Wolchulsan Mountain, expansive tea fields, rice paddies, and the cozy Gangjin Moonlight Hanok Village at a glance.
