Seongjeon-myeon is one of ten myeon in Gangjin county, Jeollanam-do. It was established in 1914 when two now-defunct myeon--Anju-myeon and Goeup-myeon--merged. As of 2003 the population is 3,754 [1].
The most notable attractions in Seongjeon are Muwisa temple, Gyeongpodae, Wolnamsa, and Sunghwa College. There are also large tea fields in Seongjeon near the two temple sites.

Between Muwisa and an entrance to Wolchulsan National Park at Gyeongpodae are large green tea fields known as Gangjin Dawon. Buses run frequently between the terminal in Seongjeon and Muwisa and Gyeongpodae.
