After getting off, I had a bowl of mulhoe (cold raw fish soup) at a nearby restaurant, then did a light shop at Hanaro Mart for dinner and headed over~^^ ![Bus stop in front of Hanaro Mart](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-04-a9jk6-900.webp) Wando local buses are free to use~! You can use them for free even if you're not from Wando~! I got on the bus at the right time~~! The bus stop in front of Hanaro Mart had air conditioning, so it was nice and cool! Haha ![Photo about using the Cheongsando local bus](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-05-klvpy-900.webp) I got off the bus at the Sinheung-ri stop and headed to the pension~! Haha ![Pension reached from Sinheung-ri bus stop](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-06-jnfgw-900.webp) Isn't the pension so pretty? Haha I booked ahead before visiting. If, like me, you come without a car and find it difficult to get there by bus, they said they can help if you contact the pension after 3 p.m.! ![Exterior of Cheongsando Travel Pension](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-07-cde0e-900.webp) I took this at check-in; at around 3:40 p.m., the water at Sinheung Beach had completely gone out, so click~! ![Sinheung Beach at low tide during check-in](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-08-dwwct-900.webp) ## An evening in loft-style Room 102 I booked Room 102. ![Room 102 at Cheongsando Travel Pension](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-09-1opzs-900.webp) ![Inside Room 102 at Cheongsando Travel Pension](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-10-1x00p-900.webp) Apparently actor Choi Daniel stayed in Room 102, where I stayed~! Haha Since it was a place an actor had stayed, there was even a signature! I think it would be good to check the notices! All rooms are non-smoking, so I loved how fresh the inside felt~ Smoking is allowed on the terrace in front of the room. A private barbecue is ₩20,000 per room including charcoal and grill, with ₩10,000 added per extra person! They also sell abalone porridge for meals~! Haha The kitchen was kept incredibly clean~! The dishes were neatly organized, and even the rice cooker was clean, so I cooked rice for dinner too~^^ ![Clean, well-maintained room kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-11-1g3my-900.webp) ![Kitchen with organized dishes and a rice cooker](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-12-wjllt-900.webp) Because I have a lot of personal schedules, I stay at lots of different places~! I was so pleased that there was a bidet. Haha The bathroom water pressure was strong too, so I was very satisfied! I ate dinner at the table~! And got some personal work done too. Haha The bed mattress was so soft that I slept like a baby!! Haha ![Bathroom with a bidet and strong water pressure](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-13-gj7pd-900.webp) ![Room table used for dinner and work](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-14-cpm1c-900.webp) There was also a refrigerator and microwave, so I used them comfortably! ![Room equipped with a refrigerator and microwave](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-15-1ru94-900.webp) Since it has a loft, I think it would be nice for one person to stay on the first floor and another in the loft~! The bed was so soft that I slept in the first-floor bed! Haha ## A walk on Sinheung Beach and the Cheongsando sunrise After unpacking, off to Sinheung Beach~! The sea is pretty, right? Haha I dipped my feet in the water and took a photo too. Haha The water is incredibly clear! ![Travelers catching clams at Sinheung Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-16-ysowh-900.webp) I didn't catch these, but other people visiting here were catching clams~ Haha If you're traveling as a family, I think it would be nice to try catching clams too! After a light walk, back to the accommodation~!! Cheongsando in Wando was designated Asia's first Slow City~! That makes it absolutely perfect for healing! ![Photo from a relaxing trip to Slow City Cheongsando](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-17-1jxks-900.webp) Lying in bed, I watched the currently popular show Field Mouse on Netflix. Haha I had watched up to episode 8, then finished the rest through episode 10~! Haha I usually watch on my phone, but watching Netflix on the TV was much more comfortable. Haha The pension is really great for seeing the sunrise~! It's so nice because you can sit on the terrace and see it right away. Since it was morning, I went for a little walk and watched it! ![Morning sunrise seen near Cheongsando Travel Pension](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-18-nf6jm-900.webp) Click with the rising sun!! Haha I made a wish! I wished for everyone I know to do well... and I hope everyone reading this does well too~^^! ![Making a wish while watching the rising sun](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-19-coqzs-900.webp) ## Pre-ordered abalone porridge breakfast Bbang ordered abalone porridge for breakfast~! Breakfast is available for an extra charge, and you can have it if you order in advance~! Haha Doesn't the abalone porridge look delicious? Haha ![Pre-ordered paid abalone porridge breakfast](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-20-ondbm-900.webp) When you think of Wando, isn't it abalone? Haha I had abalone mulhoe at the harbor the day before, so today it was abalone porridge! ![Abalone porridge eaten during a Wando trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-21-121t8-900.webp) I loved that the abalone went straight into Bbang's mouth in one big swoop! Haha ![Breakfast abalone porridge with abalone](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-22-4g3bq-900.webp) ![Photo after enjoying abalone porridge](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-23-f11w4-900.webp) Bbang ate well and took a Bbang-signature photo (Bbang's selfie)! Haha ![Photo taken after the abalone porridge breakfast](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay-24-1imii-900.webp) They say actor Han Sang-jin stayed in Room 101, actor Choi Daniel in Room 102, and actor Kang Eun-tak in Room 106! Haha BMI 29 Bbang had a satisfying stay at Cheongsando Travel Pension! The accommodation was well maintained and pleasant, so I felt so good in the morning! Haha The pension has a small shop where you can buy coffee (Americano or instant mix), water, and drinks~! Hanaro Mart and convenience stores are at the harbor, so I think you can shop there before coming over! There are lots of cars and restaurants at the harbor. However, Cheongsando Travel Pension is about 6 km from the harbor and around a 15-minute bus ride away, so there are no restaurants nearby if you don't have a car. Still, I loved how peaceful it was. I was so satisfied because I could fully experience Cheongsando~~! I had such a satisfying stay that I should come back next time~^^ The staff were also kind and helpful, so I was very satisfied ♥ ## Where it is - Cheongsando Travel Pension (청산도 여행펜션) - 667-13 Cheongsan-ro, Cheongsan-myeon, Wando-gun, Jeonnam Gwangju Integrated Special City, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 완도군 청산면 청산로 667-13 - 34.1852034, 126.9053575 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B2%AD%EC%82%B0%EB%8F%84%20%EC%97%AC%ED%96%89%ED%8E%9C%EC%85%98/@34.1852034,126.9053575,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@basalt-coffee-stops/cheongsando-sunrise-pension-stay/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
