When Departing from Seoul
Choose your transport hub first: Gwangyang Terminal
Central City → look up actual bus departures to Gwangyang
First plan how to get from your accommodation to the actual departure station or terminal. For trains, check the departure and arrival stations and whether transfers are needed. For buses, choose the exact terminal as well as the destination city. Seoul, Yongsan, Cheongnyangni and Suseo are different stations.
Travel to Each Place’s Entrance
Places in the same selected group do not necessarily share entrances, tickets or opening hours. The options below explain how to reach each place you choose; they are not an itinerary for visiting every place in order.
Gwangyang Maehwa Village
- 01
Suggested Vehicle Access · Advance Arrangements Required
Gwangyang Terminal → permitted drop-off point at Maehwa Village, Daap-myeon, Gwangyang
Booked vehicle or taxi
Vehicle access may be restricted during the festival, so choose a drop-off point in the official parking and shuttle guidance. Regular year-round shuttle service is not indicated.
Cheongmaesil Farm
- 01
Suggested Access Based on Location · Check Directions Before Departure
permitted drop-off point at Maehwa Village → Cheongmaesil Farm visitor entrance
On foot
The farm is a separate destination reached along a sloping road within the village. Follow the festival routes and pedestrian restrictions.
Map links search for locations by name. They are not directions checked for exact entrance coordinates or actual services on your travel date. Enter your departure point, destination and chosen transport in a map app to check the route again.
Prepare for Booking, Access Restrictions and the Final Leg
- For the bus arriving in Seoul, distinguish whether the terminal is Jungma Terminal or the terminal in Gwangyang-eup. Do not present the Maehwa Festival city shuttle's March 2026 reservation and payment conditions as current regular operation.
For sections using taxis or booked vehicles, discuss round-trip availability, pickup locations and charges such as waiting fees and tolls with the provider before departure. A vehicle is not guaranteed to be immediately available outside railway stations or at remote attractions. If you choose local buses, check the exact stops, direction and return services too.
Plan Your Return to Seoul First
First decide how to return from your last attraction to Gwangyang Terminal. If you leave through a different gate, port or trail from the one you entered, check again whether you can use the same vehicle pickup point.
- Allow time to reach the actual pickup location after sightseeing, descending from a hike or disembarking.
- Make separate arrangements for local buses or booked vehicles and your long-distance return journey. If tickets are sold out, compare other services or an overnight stay.
- Check whether subway or bus connections to your accommodation will still be running after you arrive in Seoul.
When your day includes a boat trip, hike or evening visit, leave a buffer before plans that are difficult to change, such as an international flight the next day.
