Buyeo itineraries

Sabi loop, back by boat

Step off the bus, walk to the temple site and the museum, cross Busosan and ride a boat down from Nakhwaam. Finish at Gungnamji as the light goes. The whole of old Sabi in one day.

Cultural Land and a riverside night

Day one is the rebuilt palace and five-storey wooden pagoda at Baekje Cultural Land, with the resort next door for the night. Day two moves to the real thing: Busosanseong and the royal tombs at Neungsan-ri. Easiest with a car.

Hanok, river, craft lane, then Gongju

Day one walks the town's ruins and sleeps in a hanok. Day two crosses the river and ends with Cultural Land lit up at night. Day three browses the Jaon-gil craft lane, then closes the Baekje story at Gongsanseong and King Muryeong's tomb in neighbouring Gongju.
