https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

When the summer sun beats down relentlessly, nothing feels more refreshing than diving into the cool ocean. The best beaches in Korea offer more than just swimming, though. Imagine riding a train with picturesque views, and eating the freshest seafood you’ve ever had at a beachside food stall! Enjoy exciting water sports, and then recharge in a café or bakery nearby. No matter your travel style, these top beach destinations have it all!

In Busan & Gyeongsang Province

Haeundae
Haeundae Beach is Korea’s most representative beach! Haeundae Beach is unlike other beaches in Korea in that the sandy shore stretches between the sea and tons of tall buildings, creating a beautiful view that becomes even more stunning when the sun sets!
The area around Haeundae Beach also has plenty of attractions, including Busan X the SKY observatory, Haeundae Blue Line Park, and the lush forest of camellia and pine trees on Dongbaekseom Island.

Gwangalli
Gwangalli Beach is unique in that the horizon appears to be doubled, due to Gwangandaegyo Bridge. The beach is easy to reach using public transportation, and is surrounded by fun things to do, drawing in a steady stream of visitors.
Gwangalli Beach is even more beautiful at night, with the lights of Gwangandaegyo Bridge twinkling on the horizon. On Saturdays, you can see Korea’s largest drone show, the Gwangalli M Drone Light Show. The beach is also the venue for the annual, must-see Busan Fireworks Festival.

Uljin
For a truly unique beach experience, hop aboard the Jukbyeon Coast Sky Rail, one of the 100 Must-Visit Tourist Spots for 2023-2024. The monorail covers a course of 2.8 km, showing interesting points such as “Heart Coast,” named for its double-curved coastline, a famous filming site, and a lighthouse. Stop by the nearby Jukbyeon Port for fresh seafood.

In Gangwon State

Gangneung
The lush forest of pine trees that grows along the sandy shore makes Gyeongpo Beach charming. Enjoy a leisure stroll on the deck walking trail as it waves back and forth between the sand and the pine forest. There are also many facilities for tourists, including restaurants, accommodations, and even campgrounds, making this beach popular among younger travelers.
Anmok Beach is well-known thanks to its proximity to Gangneung Coffee Street. The street is lined with coffee shop after coffee shop, each with its own unique ambiance. The street itself is so popular, it has been listed on KTO’s 100 Must-Visit Tourist Spots in Korea many times! The cafés all face the beach, offering great views from their second-floor seating and higher.

Sokcho
Sokcho Beach is popular among visitors all year round with a range of attractions, including a walking trail through a pine forest, flower paths, and photo spots. It is also extremely easy to reach on foot, just a five-minute walk from Sokcho Express Bus Terminal, making it a top pick for tourists. This short distance means you can also enjoy the tasty foods that are available in downtown Sokcho.Ferris wheel
The Sokcho Eye, a 65-meter-tall Ferris wheel, is another attraction of Sokcho Beach. The first Ferris wheel in Korea to be built next to the beach, it offers views of the ocean to one side and Seoraksan Mountain to the other. At night, enjoy the LED performance as it lights up the beach.

Yangyang
Naksan Beach is known as the beach that BTS member V visited. It’s a great spot to visit if you enjoy walking, as there is a forested trail that follows the 2-kilometer-long beach. The beach itself has a shallow bay, suitable for swimmers of all ages. Vacationers can enjoy a comfortable trip with surrounding amenities including cafés, convenience stores, restaurants, and accommodations. If visiting, be sure to include a stop at the nearby Naksansa Temple, one of the Eight Scenic Sites of Gwandong.

On Jeju Island

Hamdeok
Hamdeok Beach is one of the best beaches to see the beautiful emerald-colored sea around Jeju. The beach is popular among locals because of its fine sand and shallow waters. Seoubong Parasitic Cone rises up next to the beach to create a special landscape; in spring, the hillside is covered in yellow canola flowers. If you follow the walking trail up Seoubong, you can take in the full view of the area, including the restaurants, cafés, and hotels that stand next to the beach.
After fun at the beach, enjoy a refreshing drink at a nearby café. Café Delmoondo in particular stands right on the beach with ocean-view seating. They roast their own coffee beans and offer a range of desserts. The outdoor terrace is also a great photo spot!

AW Vietnam 2024

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

Coex’s first overseas hosting of Asia’s representative smart factory & automation industry exhibition
 
 Automation World Vietnam 2024 (AW Vietnam 2024) will be held for three days from September 25 (Wednesday) at the WTC Binh Duong New City Expo in Vietnam.
Coex’s hosting of AW Vietnam 2024 is significant in that it is the first time that the representative smart factory and automation industry exhibition in Asia, which has been held at Coex in Seoul, will be held overseas ― in line with Vietnam’s active manufacturing digitalization as a global production base.

Coex signed an MOU with the Korea Smart Manufacturing Office(KOSMO) under the Ministry of SMEs and Startups on May 22 to host the ‘1st Vietnam Smart Factory Expo (AW Vietnam 2024)’ and is recruiting participating companies.
AW Vietnam 2024 is expected to provide 400 booths for 150 companies. Autonics and Daekhon Corporation have confirmed their participation. Various business programs such as 1:1 business matching and smart factory forums between the partners of large corporations that entered Vietnam, such as Samsung and LG, and the participating companies will be held.
In particular, Coex will launch the Smart-Factory-Korea Pavilion in cooperation with the Korea Smart Manufacturing Office(KOSMO) ― in order to help Korea’s small and medium-sized suppliers enter the Vietnamese smart factory construction market. Coex will push ahead with the introduction and demonstrations of the Vietnamese smart factory construction cases and solutions, export consultations, etc.
In AW Vietnam 2024, domestic companies in the smart factory, factory automation, machine vision, and logistics automation fields are expected to create a boom for digital transformation of Vietnamese manufacturing companies, and network actively with global industry experts.
At the same time, ‘Electric Energy Show 2024 (ELECS 2024)’ Vietnam’s representative power and energy industry exhibition, will be held, making AW Vietnam 2024 the Southeast Asian nation’s largest industrial exhibition for creating an industrial ecosystem.

Background of AW Vietnam 2024: Vietnam is rapidly emerging as the most powerful alternative to post-China
As of 2021, Vietnam’s smart factory and automation market is estimated to be worth US$120 billion and is expected to grow to US$260 billion by 2025. The market growth rate is 17.3%, and it is predicted to grow at an average annual growth rate of 13.5% from 2022 to 2025.
The Vietnamese logistics industry is also seeing an increase in demand for smart automation due to the acceleration of digital transformation.
As global production bases continue to move away from China, Vietnam is rapidly emerging as the most powerful alternative to post-China. Global companies are accelerating their entry into Vietnam. The government’s action plan to foster manufacturing was introduced in September 2020, with the goal of becoming one of the top three industrial countries among ASEAN countries, consequently leading to Coex’s hosting of AW Vietnam 2024.
This exhibition is expected to lay the foundation for Korean companies with smart manufacturing technology to enter Vietnam’s smart factory construction market, and become a venue for showcasing Korea’s manufacturing innovation promotion strategy and best practices.
Binh Duong Province has a population of 2.7 million, and is growing rapidly based on its manufacturing industry, which accounts for 7.8% of Vietnam’s total GDP. Binh Duong Province currently has 30 industrial complexes with 4,000 companies from 65 countries, of which 800 are Korean companies.
Every March, Coex holds ‘Smart Factory + Automation World,’ Asia’s representative smart factory and automation industry exhibition, in all of its halls. This year, it was held on the largest-scale ever with 2,000 booths from 450 companies, attracting 60,000 visitors and buyers. Coex plans to actively apply its experience in hosting this exhibition and its know-how in operating overseas exhibitions to hosting AW Vietnam 2024.
