Muan County, Administrative county in South Jeolla, South Korea

Located on the western tip of the Korean peninsula, Muan County spans 436 square kilometers along the Yellow Sea with extensive coastal areas.

The county transformed into the capital of South Jeolla Province in 2005 when administrative offices relocated from Gwangju to Namak village.

The Hoesan White Lotus Pond fills with flowers each August, leading to celebrations that showcase regional traditions and natural beauty.

Muan International Airport connects the region to major destinations while replacing former aviation facilities in Gwangju and Mokpo cities.

The county produces sixteen percent of South Korea's national onion supply, maintaining the largest cultivation volume in the country.
