Hwasun, located in South Jeolla Province, South Korea, is known for its ancient and mysterious heritage sites, including dolmens and dinosaur footprints. A total of 596 dolmens, some weighing over 100 tons, from the Bronze Age have been discovered, drawing UNESCO's attention. The lack of attention throughout history has helped preserve these sites. The area offers a dolmen exploration bus for visitors as walking the long distances might be challenging. Hwasun also boasts delicious green tea-fed pork, adding to the local culinary experience. The nearby Mudeungsan Mountain, known as 'Alps of Honam,' offers breathtaking views and features enchanting spots like Sumalli Coffee, surrounded by private upcycled gardens. Visitors can also enjoy the aroma of Hinoki trees at the Mudeungsan Hinoki Natural Recreation Forest. Hwasun provides a blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty.
