Quiet coastal walk around Sodeungseom | Travel Course | K-Travel Mate

Sodeungseom Island is a small uninhabited island floating in front of Nampo Village. It is said to be named Sodeungseom because a lantern was lit as a prayer for the safe return of husbands or family members who went fishing in the distant sea, and people looked at the light. It is a well-known sunrise spot for photography enthusiasts and has a distinctive beauty when combined with the sunrise and sunset of Deukryang Bay. Around Sodeungseom are Gudonsan Mountain (the turtle and pig symbolizing longevity and wealth) and Dotugot, and in 1996 a Jeongnamjin monument was erected marking the southernmost tip of the Korean mainland. To help more people fulfill their wishes, the opposite side of the island features sculptures representing lanterns, hope, and wishes called Cheonjihin, along with a statue of Dang Halmeoni and an altar. Sodeungseom is a mystical island where you can experience the miracle of Moses; during low tide two or three times a day, the sea water recedes and a path gradually appears connecting to the island. You can walk to Sodeungseom through the path across the sea, which takes about 5 minutes and offers a unique experience. It is advisable to check the tide times in advance.

Tamjin River Ecological Wetland Park was created as a natural-type river starting construction in 2004 and completing in July 2008. It is a 4,000-pyeong (13,130㎡) natural river ecological wetland formed along a 4.92 km section from Pyeonghwa Bridge to Busan Bridge in Jangheung-eup, running through the first-class clean water of the Tamjin River at the heart of Jangheung. It features a natural lotus embankment, reflexology paths, wooden decks, aquatic plants such as flower iris, ecological observation paths, walking trails, and fountains. It serves as an eco-friendly space where residents visit for rest and exercise, and is also the venue for an annual summer water festival. Along the Tamjin River, there is a cherry blossom tree-lined road on the embankment and a waterfront walking path with flower gardens including pink muhly and lotus, as well as bicycle paths. There are also stepping stones to cross the river. Going upstream along the riverbank embankment opposite Jangheung Saturday Market where the water festival takes place, you will find Jangheung Riverside Sports Plaza and Jeongnamjin Water Science Museum.
