전북 군산 가볼만한 곳Let me introduce you to the beautiful islands located in Gunsan.
1. Gogunsan Islands
Jangdae-ri, Okdo-myeon, Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do
▶063-465-5186
Gogunsan Islands is a place name for about 63 islands gathered in the Gunsan sea, 16 of which are inhabited. The low islands below 150m above sea level are arranged in a cluster, creating the beauty of Gunsan. Representative inhabited roads include Shinsido, Seonyudo, Munyeodo, Gogunsando, and Jangjado, and the islands are connected by bridges, making it easy to tour by car.
In particular, the sunset view of Gogunsando is one of the best in Korea. In addition, the road to Gogunsan Islands offers a fun course that will make drivers’ hearts race. If you go at sunset, you can become the main character in a movie-like production today.
It takes about 20 minutes to drive from Shinsido to Jangjado, the last stop, so it is a must-visit destination when visiting Gunsan.
2. Daejangbong Peak
Daejangbong Peak is a place with beautiful scenery that cannot be missed during a Gunsan travel course. It is a small rocky mountain 142m above sea level that makes up most of ‘Daejangdo’. It is known as a viewing spot where you can see the Saemangeum Seawall and Gogunsan Islands at a glance from the peak of Daejangbong Peak. Although it is not a high mountain, the climbing course is very steep, so I recommend that you brace yourself before climbing.
The view of Seonyudo and Gogunsan Islands from the first and second observatories on Daejangbong Peak is like a natural wonder. Many visitors come back and take pictures because they cannot forget this beautiful scenery. The view from the top of Daejangbong will make you forget all the hardships of climbing up here.
3. Jangjado
Jangjado is located in the center of the Gogunsan Islands and is the smallest island. Although the island is the smallest in size, it is called Jangjado because a strong warrior came out of it, and it is the place where the legend of ‘Jangja Grandmother Rock’ and ‘Hyeonggyeongdo Grandfather Rock’ is located.
Jangjado has a walking trail with a comfy Mongdol Coast and rocky cliffs, giving visitors the feeling of looking at a stone exhibition hall. In addition, leisure activities such as mudflat experience and sea fishing are available, and there are many delicious foods such as live sashimi and seafood stew while looking out at the sea, making it a great place for healing.
In particular, ‘Okdol Super’ located in Jangjado is very popular. It is a ramen restaurant with a view of Okdol Beach, and it is a place where tourists never stop visiting.
4. Seonyudo
136 Seonyubuk-gil, Okdo-myeon, Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do
Use Seonyu Sky Sunline
▶TEL: 063-471-9800
▶Admission: Adults – 20,000 won
Seonyudo, originally called Gunsan-do, is said to have been named Seonyudo because the shape of the peak of the northernmost part of the island, about 100 meters above sea level, looks like two immortals sitting face to face playing baduk. Seonyudo, with an area of about 2.13 km, forms the Gogunsan Archipelago along with Sinsido, Munyeodo, Bangchukdo, and Maldo, and is the central island of the archipelago.
In particular, Seonyudo is great for enjoying the wide ocean at ‘Seonyudo Beach’. The ‘Seonyu Sky Sun Line’, which descends 700m from a 12-story tower with a height of 45m at the entrance to the beach to a small pine island submerged in the sea near the entrance of Mangjubong, is the best activity to enjoy on the island. Enjoy everything about Gogunsan Archipelago with exciting screams.
If you want to feel the quiet and refreshing summer, how about going to Gunsan this weekend? There are restaurants and cafes with attractive ocean views, and even beautiful Korean scenery waiting for you.
