    1. 01
      Before travel

      Choose a daylight residential-lane loop

    2. 02
      At 58 Suam-ro

      Enter quietly through public lanes

      The audited pin reaches the published village address. Keep doors, steps, driveways and resident movement clear and never enter a courtyard for a photograph.

    3. 03

    4. Traveler tips

    • Visit in daylight and leave the residential lanes well before the requested 21:00 quiet boundary.
    • Photograph from public space without aiming through windows, over walls or into occupied courtyards.
    • Keep voices low and never block a doorstep, staircase, driveway or resident vehicle.
    • Check the exact café's hours and order policy separately from village access.
    • Search “충청북도 청주시 상당구 수암로 58 수암골 벽화마을” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Hours, admission, closures and programme schedules can change; use the official source before departure.
    • The audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
