Mindful meoweler tips

Be Mindful of Korean Etiquette

Cats should bow when greeting older or more senior cats—this is how Koreans show respect. Avoid touching someone’s head, pointing with paws, and showing the bottom of paws.

Visit Wolchulsan National Park

This gem is just a short drive from Kunsan and has amazing hikes, including a suspension bridge, temples, waterfalls, and historic sites.

Try Local Food

Korean cuisine is a must-try, including Korean BBQ, bibimbap, and kimchi. Don't be shy to try local street food.

Take a Day Trip to Gunsan City

Gunsan, a nearby city, has a rich history as a Japanese colonial port, which is reflected in its architecture and cultural sites. Visit the old naval base, the historic district, and the beach.

Visit the Kunsan Air Base

Kunsan Air Base is home to the US Air Force in South Korea. Take a tour to learn about the base's history, see military aircraft, and watch demonstrations.
