   Danghangpo Tourist Site

   당항포관광지

   Danghangpo Tourist Site is the nation's only patriotic sacred site where Admiral Yi Sun-sin won two battles, completely annihilating the Japanese naval forces. It houses a memorial shrine, an exhibition hall, and the Great Victory Monument. Stretching along the Danghang Bay, which is calmer than a lake, the site resembles a garden with a long coastal camellia forest path. It is a multi-purpose tourist destination featuring family leisure facilities such as an adventure playground and marine leisure sports facilities, a Natural History Museum displaying taxidermy animals like bears, dinosaur eggs, and fossils of shellfish and fish, a Natural Art Garden consisting of a natural sculpture park harmonized with wildflowers and a suseok (viewing stone) hall, as well as 100-million-year-old ripple marks and dinosaur footprint fossils, making it an ideal space for cultivating patriotic spirit, nature education, and relaxation for families and groups.MoreLess

   Hakdong Black Pearl Mongdol Beach

   학동흑진주몽돌해변

   Measuring 1.2 km in length, 50 m in width, and 30,000 m² in area, the beach is filled with rounded pebbles (mongdol) that look like black pearls. In particular, walking on this pebble beach in summer provides an acupressure effect and is good for health. Unlike other beaches in the South Sea, the water at Mongdol Beach is deep and the waves are rough, requiring a bit of caution; however, marine leisure sports such as banana boats are well-equipped. From the dock located at Hakdong Mongdol Beach, visitors can take an excursion ship to tour Haegeumgang, known as the Geumgang of the Sea, and Oedo, decorated with diverse and exotic tropical plants, making it a must-visit spot for any tourist visiting Geojedo Island, even if not for swimming.MoreLess

   Windy Hill

   바람의 언덕

   Due to its geographical exposure to strong sea breezes, most native plants on 'Windy Hill' grow relatively low to the ground influenced by their ecological environment. At the upper slope of 'Windy Hill,' there is a colony of ancient camellia trees rooted deeply through long years of sea winds. The scarred, wrinkled bark of these aging camellia trees stands as a testament to time itself, proudly unfurling blood-red blossoms in the dead of winter when all other flowers retreat, offering solace to a weary life.MoreLess

   Oedo is called the paradise of the South Sea. Covering an area of about 48,000 pyeong (approx. 158,000 m²), it is Korea's only marine botanical garden, beautifully decorated with flowers, sculptures, and trees.
