A former prison camp for North Korean soldiers on an island in the south of Korea offers visitors a gripping insight into the horrors of the Korean War.

Beautifully designed botanical gardens and gorgeous ocean views make this tiny island southwest of Busan a favorite of visitors to Korea.

Sheltered waters and mild temperatures make this relaxing stretch of coast on Geoje Island a popular place to go year round.

Even if you’re not into Korean war history, visiting this hilltop monument is impressive for the views alone.

With modern interactive and historic displays this small aquarium shows visitors how fishing has always been a part of the Korean culture.

Geoje City Hall is just one of the places to see in Somun, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? While you're in the area, wander around the parks.
