A photo spot with a vintage atmosphere
In the front, the entrance painted in light blue and the ivy surrounding the building gives off a vintage look. You can't go inside the building, but if you go back to the side of the building, you can see the poster, guitar, and license plate of former singer Oh Yoon inside the window. No matter where it is set as the background, it produces great results and makes you automatically take photos.

A boat on the mountain
If you climb to the top of Mugeunbong Peak through the stairs in the park, you can directly witness the boat on the mountain where Hye-jin and Chief Hong met in episode 1. The ship set by Chief Hong’s grandfather for her grandmother, Sunim, goes well with the sea in the background, creating an unexpectedly wonderful scene.

Gongjin Village's site of living
This is where the residents of Gongjin Village live, with Chief Hong's house on the sea side and Hye-jin's house on the hill. However, these houses are inhabited by real residents, so you should look around quietly from the outside. Passing the village hall where the residents were having a feast and reaching the end of the breakwater, there is a red lighthouse where Chief Hong and Hye-jin had their wedding.
