Next, at Mangdeok Port, participants will board a yacht to cruise the southern coast and enjoy the autumn breeze, then walk the "Gwangyang Road" section of the Namparang Trail, part of the Korea Dulle-gil's southern coastal route. Finally, the tour visits the Jeong Byeong-uk House, which preserved poet Yun Dong-ju's handwritten manuscripts of "Sky, Wind, Star and Poem," to reflect on the poet's lyricism and friendship.

The fee is 44,900 won, which includes a premium round-trip bus fare and yacht boarding fee (excluding attraction admission, travel insurance, and meals). Boarding is available at Platform 2 of Youth Square and the taxi stand at Songjeong Station.
