Changwon itineraries
Jinhae in a Day
Cherry trees over railway tracks, over a stream, then a hilltop view of the naval port. Out of bloom season you still get the sea and the tower.
Masan Waterfront Overnight
Day one is old downtown lanes, the fish market and a seafront café; day two is the glass-floor bridge. Pick this if eating is half the point of travel.
Three Towns, Three Days
A city lake, Jinhae's blossom lanes, a dawn bird reservoir and the glass bridge — everything Changwon has, strung together. Easiest with a car.
