- Gangjin Dawon - Located at the foot of Mt. Wolchulsan, Gangjin Tea Plantation has been cultivated for green tea production since 1980 by ‘Amorepacific (Osulloc)’, a leading tea producer in Korea. However, the history of tea culture in Gangjin spans over 1,000 years, with tea trees cultivated in many Buddhist temples around the mountain since the Goryeo Dynasty. The tea produced in Gangjin has a strong aroma and rarely tastes bitter. With rocks towering above Mt. Wolchulsan, Gangjin Tea Plantation offers a magnificent spectacle.

This garden served as a cultural meeting place where scholars exchanged ideas and enjoyed the arts. It is also significant as a cradle of Korean tea culture. The hermitage harmoniously blends natural elements with human-made features in an ornate composition while preserving the original character of the forest.
- Seongjeon-myeon - Baeg-un Tea House was established to honor the achievements of Lee Han-young, who created Korea’s first tea brand, Baegun Okpan Tea, in the 1920s. However, the tea culture history in this area dates back to the 1800s. Jeong Yak-yong, one of the greatest scholars of the Joseon Dynasty, was known for his love of tea during his exile in Gangjin. The methods he used to make and enjoy tea have been passed down through one of his disciples, and Baeg-un Tea House continues this historical tradition. Visitors can taste the rice cake tea that Jeong Yak-yong cherished.
