Explore Suncheon’s 600-year timeline from the Joseon-era Nakaneupseong fortress to a lively modern night market. Stroll thatched-roof houses in Nakaneupseong (traditional fortified village), visit the preserved 1936 railway staff housing area with its wooden Japanese-style cottages and a small railway museum, and experience a retro drama set recreating 1960s–70s shantytown (daldongnae) life.
