60 places to see in Gyeongnam
60 places, three from each post office, across 18 districts — unranked.
Gyeongnam is the largest part of the guide, and the same holds for its sights: 20 post offices, three places each, 60 in all. The province runs from the Jirisan ridges down to the islands off Geoje and Namhae, and the list stretches the whole way.
The mix follows the geography. Inland you get mountain valleys, Gaya-era burial mounds, old temples and a thousand-year-old planted forest; on the coast, terraced fields dropping to the sea, mural villages above working harbours and roads lined with cherry trees.
Everything is grouped by city and county, unranked, with addresses and map links — and where the guide lists restaurants in the same place, a link across to them.
