Koreans like to travel and take pictures. That's nice, because it means that a Naver search on just about any location, large or small, will point to at least a few blogs and cafes about the place. There are photos and often profiles about tons of different villages, temples, abandoned train stations, mountains, harbors, you name it. Another nice thing is that a lot of people post their day's photos in sequence, meaning its easy to retrace their footsteps and estimate driving directions, hiking trails, or itineraries. People looking to visit or live in a particular area of Korea should poke around Naver or another portal site, as you can probably find pictures and information on just about anything. Anyway, I've linked to a few below. I was going to post more, as I've seen tons of great photo galleries, but just like when you can easily find PC방 or convenience stores, except when you really need one, I had trouble finding the links I'd collected earlier.
*Here's a group of women who walked from Suncheon Station to Guryegu Station, some 30.32 kilometers away. Looks like they went along Dongcheon for a while, and it looked like something I'd like to try . . . but after seeing that they walked through the tunnel and along the highway, I dropped the idea.
*This guy as three quality posts on Gageo-do (가거도), an island in Shinan county that looks to be among the furthest removed from peninsular South Korea. It's roughly 136 kilometers from Mokpo. His entries are here, here, and here.
