Local Insights & Tips
Miryang maintains traditional Korean values of respect and community. The pace of life is slower here than in larger cities, with emphasis on family, food, and local heritage. You'll notice residents taking time to greet each other and share meals. While modern conveniences exist, traditional customs remain important—especially regarding food preparation and temple etiquette. The city has a strong agricultural identity, with many residents connected to farming or local food production. This connection to the land influences everything from daily meals to community events. As visitors, showing respect for these traditions, particularly in temples and older establishments, will be appreciated.
