Sinan: what to see and do
A scatter of more than a thousand islands off the southwest coast, with long beaches, flower parks and salt fields.
Known for
- Sinan Tulip Park, by the long Daegwang Beach on Imjado
- Dochodo, the largest of the nearby islands
- 1004 Island Bonsai Park, an island garden
What to do
Choose one or two islands rather than many: the tulip park and long beach on Imjado, or the beaches of Dochodo. On Jeungdo, you can see the large salt fields.
Tip: Ferries and weather decide everything, so book boats ahead and allow extra days. Tulips bloom only in spring.
From Seoul: Bus 5 h, then ferry
