Route A: Highlights Walk (Approx. 1Hour)
The first course is recommended if you're short on time or want a quick overview of the main sights.

Best for nature lovers, Photo enthusiasts, and a scenic, relaxing pace.

Best for couples and fans looking for iconic filming locations.
*Route C:

If capturing romantic couple photos or visiting famous K-drama landmarks is your priority, this route guides you directly through the key spots.
All three routes pass through Metasequoia Road, which is the most popular photo location on the island and gets extremely crowded as the day goes on.
To snap pristine photos without crodwds of people in your background, aim to take an early ferry (arriving before 9:00 AM) and head straight to Metasequoia Road first!
