   Ttangkkeut Tourist Attraction

   땅끝관광지

   Where the sea and sky meet, 'Ttangkkeut' (Land's End) is the starting and ending point of the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range, where the ridge surged southward before making its final dragon-like twist to a halt, gathering the most energy on the Korean Peninsula. Because of this, Ttangkkeut is where the best vital energy gathers and where the gates of heaven open with that energy, making it a sacred place where many ancestors and artists held solemn rituals to receive its energy. Therefore, a legend has been handed down in Ttangkkeut Village that if you stand here and make a wish toward the sky and the sea, your wish will come true and hope will blossom. Due to this symbolism, Ttangkkeut is visited by many tourists from across the nation as the beginning of hope and the starting point for cross-country pilgrimages. It is also an important strategic point and transit route for maritime culture. MoreLess
