Taean is big (泰), and An (安) is comfortable. Taean is located in the northwestern part of Chungcheongnam-do. Taean is a comfortable place and a good place to live, just like its name. And it is a land with a beautiful and long coastline of over 500km.
Anmyeondo’s Kkotji Beach is the number one destination for a beautiful sunset and a seaside trip, and from the unique desert landscape of the Sinduri Coastal Sand Dunes to arboretums filled with gorgeous summer flowers like hydrangeas and lotuses – a place with diverse natural scenery that feels new the more you get to know it.
The sea is bustling with seasonal seafood and surfers enjoying surfing, and farmers who have finished harvesting before the rainy season are enjoying their summer vacation. The summer of Taean people is expected to be filled with romance this year as well!
There is an exhibition hall where you can see relics from the Goryeo Dynasty excavated from the sea off Taean, and a memorial hall for overcoming oil spill damage that shows painful memories and hope… In Taean, you can experience various cultures that are hard to find in other regions.
A place where you can walk along the pine-scented seaside road, see summer flowers blooming everywhere, and hear stories told by the sea. Let’s head to Taean, where natural treasures provided by the vast sea live and breathe.
This week (August 19th – August 22nd) at 7:20 PM, the 4-part series ‘Flowers, Sunset and Sea, Taean’ will air on EBS 1TV.
Surfing mecca, Manripo Beach
The representative attraction of Taean Coast National Park, Manripo Beach. It is a place loved by tourists as a summer vacation spot with its white sandy beach, gentle water depth, and beautiful scenery. The reason why Manripo Beach is special is because it is considered a surfing mecca. It is said that surfers call it ‘Manriponia’ because the waves are good for surfing, like California in the US. Hyung-ju, who fell in love with surfing, and his wife Seong-gyeong
It is said that he fell in love with the sea of Taean and decided to return to the countryside.
“Surfing at sunset is so beautiful that I can never go anywhere else again.”
Green arboretum next to the blue sea
A green arboretum located at the end of Manripo Beach. It is the first private arboretum in Korea, which was lovingly built by the late founder Min Byeong-gal, who was called the ‘Blue-Eyed Korean.’ The arboretum, which was certified as the ‘World’s Most Beautiful Arboretum’ by the International Dendrology Society in 2000, has about 16,800 species of plants.
These days, you can enjoy the gorgeous blooming hydrangeas and lotus flowers. People can’t help but be amazed as they walk through the arboretum where the sea and forest come together.
Taean Sea Reclaimed, Oil Spill Overcoming Memorial Hall
The Oil Spill Overcoming Memorial Hall was opened to commemorate the overcoming of the West Sea oil spill that occurred on December 7, 2007. At that time, the Taean people lost their homes in an instant due to the oil spill. In order to save the damaged sea, more than 1 million volunteers from all over the country rushed to clean up the oil and collect the contaminated sand. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, the sea was able to quickly recover to its pre-accident level.
“What I emphasize to adults is that they must pass on a good environment in which people can live. No matter how much you pass on to them in an environment where people cannot live, they will not be able to survive.”
Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the beautiful sea and green arboretum.
