Mokpo Gatbawi 4

Gatbawi, one of the eight scenic spots of Mokpo, is named because it looks like two monks wearing traditional bamboo hats (satgat). Jungbawi is said to be where a great ascetic monk once lived. There are various legends about Gatbawi, including one where a highly enlightened ascetic monk, resting briefly while crossing the Yeongsan River on his way to Nakbudo’s Dak Island, placed his satgat and staff down, which then became Gatbawi. Another legend tells of a young man in ancient Mokpo who, neglecting his sick father to earn money, returned too late and deeply regretted it, fasting for days in apology while wearing a satgat, eventually turning into the rock. A maritime pedestrian bridge along the Yeongsan River allows visitors to enjoy views above the water. The bridge rises about 1 meter at high tide and lowers following the tide, offering beautiful night scenery. It also serves as a natural learning site demonstrating rock erosion by waves and currents, making it highly educational.
