Do you know about travel insurance? When traveling abroad, it is common to sign up for travel insurance, but when traveling domestically, people usually go without travel insurance. In my case, I always sign up for travel insurance when traveling domestically.
There are several reasons, but the biggest reason is that it is cheap. In my case, I recently went on a domestic trip with a family of four for 5 days, and the insurance premium was cheap at 5,000 won. I would have thought about it if it cost tens of thousands of won, but for less than 10,000 won, you can get psychological stability and coverage for illnesses and injuries that may occur during your trip, so I definitely recommend travel insurance for domestic travel.
For reference, I sign up for Nonghyup Non-life Insurance domestic travel insurance. It is cheap. The link below is the Insurance Damoa site, an insurance comparison site jointly operated by the Non-life Insurance Association and the Life Insurance Association. This is not an insurance company link, so check it out with confidence

The travel destinations introduced this time have buildings built during the Japanese colonial period, so you can feel a unique atmosphere such as the appearance of the buildings. Personally, I recommend that you feel the Japanese atmosphere in Korea and travel to nearby Jeonju to feel the contrasting atmosphere in traditional Korean buildings such as the Hanok Village. In addition to this, you can see various famous places such as Byeonsan Peninsula on your trip to Gunsan. I hope you have a fun trip while feeling the history and culture of Gunsan!
