Why Boseong is Korea's signature green tea destination
This region has long been closely associated with Korean green tea cultivation, and its terraced hillside tea fields, especially at Daehan Dawon, have become one of the country's most visually iconic and widely photographed agricultural landscapes.
Getting there by public transit
Since Daehan Dawon sits a distance outside Boseong's town center, connecting via a local or regional bus is the standard approach for visitors without a car, and checking the schedule and planning a return bus time before you set out helps avoid an unexpectedly long wait.
Walking the terraced tea field trails
Once inside, well-maintained paths wind through the rolling rows of tea bushes, offering numerous photo opportunities and a peaceful, scenic walk that showcases the fields' distinctive terraced layout from multiple vantage points.
Trying the local green tea treats
Rounding out your visit with a green tea ice cream or other tea-based snack made using the region's own cultivation offers a fitting, genuinely local way to conclude a walk through the fields that produced it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get to Daehan Dawon without a car?
Regional bus services connect Boseong's town center to the Daehan Dawon tea field area, though schedules can be less frequent than in a major city, so checking current bus timetables and planning your return trip in advance is worthwhile.
Is there an entrance fee for the tea fields?
Many of the terraced tea field viewing and walking areas do charge a modest entrance fee, so having some cash or a card ready and checking current pricing before your visit helps avoid surprises.
Is the green tea ice cream actually made from local Boseong tea?
Vendors in the area commonly use green tea from the region's own cultivation in their ice cream and other tea-based snacks, making trying this specific treat here feel more connected to its actual source than a green tea dessert found elsewhere.
