For a first visit to Tongyeong, choose a base around Gangguan / central waterfront, then build the first full day around one part of Dongpirang · Gangguan · Mireuksan. Use Chungmu gimbap · oysters for meal ideas and leave a second block for whatever interests you most.

Check the link from No central passenger rail; compare bus connections before reserving accommodation. Add Geoje only after the core stay feels comfortable. A shorter list with realistic transfers is easier to enjoy than a route that depends on everything running perfectly.
