About 40,000.

Fun fact

Boseong's Daehan Dawon plantation is the largest and most famous green tea field in Korea.

Boseong on the map

Boseong is built around tea: the Daehan Dawon Tea Plantation and the fields around it are the largest and most famous on the peninsula.

Highlights

  • Daehan Dawon Tea Plantation, rows of tea terraces climbing a hillside, with paths through them (₩3,000 admission).
  • Green year-round, but especially worth visiting in autumn or winter to skip the spring/summer crowds.
  • The Tea Plantation Light Festival, a winter light display across the hills.

Getting there

A direct bus runs from Seoul's Express Bus Terminal (Central City) to Boseong, taking about 5.5 hours. A quicker option is KTX to Gwangju or Suncheon, then a local bus or train onward — roughly 4 hours total.

Getting around

From Boseong's bus terminal or station, it's about 8 km to the tea fields — a local bus (every 30–60 minutes) or a 15-minute taxi ride.
