Destination
Visit the main exhibition in Dolsan’s Jinmo district, not the old Expo site beside the railway station. Official dates are 5 September–4 November 2026; the event closes on 6 October. Main-site hours are 10:00–21:00, with entry ending at 20:00. Island satellite programmes have their own hours, bookings and ferry arrangements.
Transport
Arrive at Yeosu Expo Station by rail, then transfer to Dolsan. Check the official shuttle and parking notice for your date. Designated event shuttles are free; the official transport-card promotion applies to participating routes, not every bus in Yeosu. The organiser warns weekend traffic may add 1–2 hours.
Stay
Compare a hotel near the station for rail access with a Dolsan hotel for the main venue. Verify the actual road route and late return; a hotel is not automatically on the shuttle route. Official island one-night/three-meal programmes require reservation and at least two guests; ferry costs are separate.
Local food
The main venue has food trucks, cafes and a restaurant market; check menus, total prices and allergens. The operator restricts outside food and alcohol. Yeosu’s existing gejang and city restaurant guides are optional separate road stops, not restaurants at the exhibition gate.
Personal essentials
Walking shoes, drinking water, a charged phone and a light warm layer. Save the return transport, entrance pin and reservation details before leaving town. Stay on marked paths and take your rubbish back.
A workable visit plan
Station → confirmed Dolsan transfer → pavilions → venue meal → return shuttle. Add an island programme on a separate day after confirming ferries.
Suggested visit times are our planning allowances, not measured transfer times. Reserve the return connection first; current room prices, menus and local departures need a check for your travel date.
Restaurant stops for this regional journey
Separate road stops: compare the live map route, travel time and return pickup before combining them. These are not one continuous walking trail.
