Local Tips
Public transport is reliable but buses are the main option, tap your T-money card when boarding. English is not widely spoken, so basic Korean phrases or a translation app will help.

Tipping is not customary. Dress modestly at temples and remove shoes when entering homes or certain restaurants. Be respectful when taking photographs in rural areas.
Safety Warnings
Wabu is generally very safe, but use caution when walking near the river at night as paths can be poorly lit. Beware of fast-moving traffic around main intersections.
Hidden Gems
Walk or cycle along the Bukhan River Trail, visit the small Namyang-ri temples, and check out the weekly traditional market at Wabu-eup Central.
