Renowned for its natural beauty it is also rich in culture and tradition which complements its 5,000 year history. The ancient dynasties of Gaya and Shilla were founded here. Magnificent temples, archaeological sites, palaces and fortress, burial tombs, folk villages, and parks are scattered all over the region. It is not difficult to see ancient rituals celebrated and observe on the streets along shopping malls and crowds. For nature lovers, Gyeong Nam is home to four majestic national parks, untouched eco-systems at Woopo swamp, beaches, valleys and waterfalls. . Located on the the southeastern tip of the Korean Peninsula , it has easy access to the Pacific Rim and East Asia including China and Japan that facilitates easy travel and business.

Coupled with the major cultural flavor of ancient cities, and the cosmopolitan flare of coastal cities, Gyeong Nam is truly a unique area in Korea. With its balmy climate and ease of getting around, it is an ideal region to explore
