Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover Chuam’s rocky coast and the area around Mukho Lighthouse. Check transport and weather separately for these two coastal areas.

This guide covers places within Donghae, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Before you set off
