Why go
Located in Wando, South Jeolla Province, the Cheonghaepogu Filming Set is an open-air period drama location built to recreate a coastal port village from Korea's ancient maritime era. The set is best known as the backdrop for a major historical TV drama centered on Jang Bogo, the legendary 9th-century maritime figure who commanded trade routes across East Asia. Visitors can walk through reconstructed wooden structures, dockside props, and traditional architecture that evoke the atmosphere of a Silla-era harbor. The surrounding coastal scenery of Wando enhances the immersive feel of the site.
