Hi, I’m Tabi!

Ansan in Gyeonggi-do combines urban gardens and a West Sea island area. The botanical garden in Sangnok-gu and Daebudo in Danwon-gu are separate destinations: plan transport and start in one area.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Ansan Botanical Garden

안산식물원

Greenhouses and outdoor gardens offer a place to observe plants. The photo shows an outdoor garden in 2019, not current flowering, collections or greenhouse access. Keep to permitted paths, leave plants untouched and check operating guidance.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02

A first-visit stop

Daebudo Island

대부도

An island area of Ansan connected to the mainland by the Sihwa Seawall, with coastal and village scenery. The whole island is not a single short walk. Check tides, weather and restrictions; do not enter tidal flats freely, and check bookings for organized activities.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Ansan’s official food guide introduces Daebudo clam kalguksu as a representative local dish. This clam and wheat-noodle soup varies in broth, seasonings and noodle ingredients. Check shellfish and wheat allergies; no particular restaurant’s current menu, price or rating is guaranteed.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
