PANPO PORT
In summer, this is not a quiet port.
Panpo is a small port, but its atmosphere changes completely in summer.
It becomes less of a place to simply look at the sea and more of a place for swimming and spending time in the water.
For a quieter view of Panpo, choose the season and time of day carefully.
- PLACE TYPE
