Uiryeong의령
Spend a half‑day in Uiryeong: visit Top Rock, the Cloud Bridge and the Museum of the Righteous Army; return by bus or taxi.
Uiryeong is a sparsely populated county in South Gyeongsang with a handful of historic sites and scenic bridges. Most attractions are within 10 km of the town centre, so a single day (or a half‑day if on a tight schedule) is enough. Public transport is limited; a rented car or taxi gives the most flexibility.

Rules in force · 5
- East Asia ↗Every border in East Asia is a full international border, Hong Kong and Macau included: an entry permission for one never covers the next.
- East Asia ↗Ferries between Korea, Japan and China cancel in rough seas and typhoons; keep a flight or a spare day behind every sea leg.
- South Korea ↗Check K-ETA and visa status on the official sites before you fly; the list of nationalities exempted from registering online changes year by year.
- South Korea ↗Google Maps gives poor walking and driving directions in Korea; use Naver Map or Kakao Map for routes.
- South Korea ↗Buy a T-money card (or use a phone-based transit pass) for subway and buses; it also pays at convenience stores and many taxis.
Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
