Following the path of Jang Bogo of Cheonghaejin | Travel Course | K-Travel Mate

Jangjwa Village is located in Wando-eup, Wando-gun, Jeonnam, and is a village with a long history. It holds many traces of Cheonghaejin, including Cheonghaejinseong Fortress, Jangbogo Shrine, and the site of Beophwasa Temple built by Jangbogo. In front of Jangjwa Village is an island called Jangdo, which can now be reached by a wooden fence bridge, and at low tide can be walked to. In 1959, due to Typhoon Sarah, wooden stakes buried in the mudflats between Jangjwa Village and Jangdo were discovered. Investigations revealed that these stakes were defensive fences built along the Cheonghaejin coast during Jangbogo's era, confirming that Jangjwa Village and Jangdo were the headquarters of Cheonghaejin. The sea around Jangjwa Village is famous as a habitat for gamtae seaweed, which keeps villagers busy in winter. Gamtae, a difficult-to-cultivate seaweed grown only in the clean southwestern coast region, can be harvested only for two months, January and February, making it a rare seafood. Every year from September to October, this area is a representative spot for black porgy fishing, attracting anglers nationwide.

Located on Bojeoksan, a famous mountain of Cheongsando, it is called Beombawi because it resembles the head of a tiger. Due to strong magnetic influences around Beombawi, compasses do not work, earning it the name 'Mystic Rock.' It is said that one can receive Beombawi's energy nearby. There is a legend of Beombawi's crouching tiger shape. A hermit tasked a tiger with gathering ten long-lived beings, called Sibjangsaeng (Ten Symbols of Longevity), to continue the vitality of Cheongsan. The tiger, not included among the Sibjangsaeng, became ill-intentioned. The hermit then told the tiger to leave Cheongsando before the moonlight shone on the sea that night. As the tiger tried to leave, its cub repeatedly lagged behind, and when crossing the mountain summit, the moonlight shone and darkness cleared, turning the tiger and its cub into large rocks that remain here. Another legend says that a tiger roared toward the rock, and hearing its roar louder than its own, it fled the island in fear that a bigger tiger lived here—hence the name Beombawi. Above the large Beombawi lies the Beombawi Observatory, and further up is a smaller Beombawi. From Beombawi, visitors can see Geomundo and Jeju Island and enjoy searching for three turtles in the harbor below, which is one of the pleasures of visiting this place.

Jiri Beach is the representative beach of Cheongsan-do and is one of the beaches known for its beautiful sunsets. The beach features a 100-meter-wide and 1-kilometer-long white sand shore, and behind the beach, more than 500 pine trees over 200 years old provide cool shade. At sunset, the sun setting west of the islands scattered in the sea appears so red that it darkens the sea. Cheongsan-do is Korea's largest sea fishing spot, and this area is rich in premium fish species such as sea bream, black porgy, and rockfish. Jiri Cheongsong Beach corresponds to course 10 of the Slow Road, called the Sunset Road. From mid-November to the end of December, a beautifully colored autumn foliage path stretches from Jiri Cheongsong Beach to Jinsan-ri Pebble Beach.
