Daehan Dawon in Boseong, South Jeolla Province, is Korea's largest tourist tea plantation, famous for its terraced rows of emerald tea bushes carpeting the hillsides. A straight, tall cedar-lined path leads from the entrance up to fields that follow the ridgeline, and from the hilltop you can glimpse the southern sea in the distance. Long a favorite filming location for K-dramas and commercials, it is a photogenic spot in every season.

Good to know
SafetyPaths between the fields climb steeply via slopes and steps, and the dirt trails get slippery when wet from rain or morning dew. Wear grippy, non-slip footwear.
SeasonIn the July–August peak summer there is almost no shade and the sun is strong — bring a hat, parasol and water. Conversely, dress warmly if visiting the winter light festival after dark.
MannersThe tea bushes are a working crop that is actually harvested. Do not walk into the rows or step on the plants to take photos.
RulesDrone flying is prohibited on the grounds. If you plan aerial photography, confirm on-site in advance.
RulesAdmission, opening hours and festival dates change by season and year (e.g. different summer/winter closing times, separate pricing during the light festival). Check the official site for the latest before you go.
