About Taean-gun
Taean-gun (태안군) exists on the west side of South Korea in Chungcheongnam-do.
Taean-gun is a popular weekend tourist destination for those interested in a quiet weekend away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The county (-gun) offers many things to do such as the Taean Haean National Park, over thirty different beaches, multiple arboretums, many museums, parks, and much much more.
Traveling to Taean-gun via public transportation remains difficult. Visitors may find it easiest to visit the county via personal vehicle or on a travel tour. Those wishing to visit the rural county by bus should allow many hours of additional travel time. However, those traveling by car may find this a relaxing trip with less traffic than in more developed tourist areas.

Should I go to Taean-gun this week?
Great questions. If you need to know more about the current air quality or the weather check the following information.
Current Air Quality and Weather in Taean-gun
Air quality and weather change throughout the day. However, having an idea of what the air quality is right now can help make decisions easier. You can download the Air Matters App for your phone to keep current on changing air quality conditions throughout the day. You can even set up alerts.
If you hover over the following Air Quality graphic you will be able to see a 3-day air quality estimate.
Remember that air quality changes around Korea. It may be poor quality in one area and excellent elsewhere. Checking air quality can be a great way to choose where to go, what activities to do when you get there, and when to be inside or outside. It also can help you decide if you should purchase and carry air filter masks for outdoor activities.
