The national treasure Jinnamgwan is known as a sacred site of patriotic history, where Admiral Yi Sun-sin planned battles and issued military orders. During the Imjin War, this site served as the main base of the Jeolla Left Naval Command and the Samdo Naval Command. Originally, there was a pavilion called Jinhaeru. In 1599, Lee Si-eon, who succeeded Yi Sun-sin as the naval commander, built a large guesthouse with 75 rooms on the site of Jinhaeru, which had burned down during the Jeongyu War, and named it Jinnamgwan (鎭南館). After a fire in 1716, the building was reconstructed in 1718 by naval commander Lee Jae-myeon and remains until today. Jinnamgwan is a grand, single-story building with a hipped-and-gabled roof, measuring 15 rooms wide and 5 rooms deep, with a floor area of 748.39㎡, making it the largest existing single-story provincial government office building. Facilities include an exhibition hall where visitors can view relics related to Jinnamgwan’s history and the Imjin War. On the grounds are the Jeollanam-do Tangible Cultural Property Seokinsang statue and the two-story pavilion Manghaeru, rebuilt in April 1991 after being demolished during the Japanese occupation. This place offers beautiful scenic views including Yeosu’s sea, and nearby tourist attractions include Jasan Park, Odongdo, Dolsan Bridge, Chungminsa Shrine, and Manseongri Beach.
The Nangdori dinosaur fossil site is extensively distributed in the Cretaceous sedimentary layers of five island regions belonging to Hwajeong-myeon, Yeosu-si: Sado, Chudo, Nangdo, Mokdo, and Jeokgeumdo. A total of 3,546 dinosaur footprint fossils were found, with 755 on Sado, 1,759 on Chudo, 962 on Nangdo, 50 on Mokdo, and 20 on Jeokgeumdo. The types are diverse, including footprints of theropods that walked on hind feet only, carnivorous theropods, and long-necked herbivorous sauropods. Among these, theropod footprints accounted for about 81% of the total. On Chudo, the discovered dinosaur footprint trackway, measuring 84 meters in length, is the longest dinosaur footprint trackway in the world. Besides dinosaur fossils, petrified wood, plant fossils, mollusk fossils, foraminifera, invertebrates, trace fossils, ripple marks, and desiccation cracks show well-developed textbook sedimentary structures, enabling research on domestic and pan-Asian dinosaur habitats. To reach Sado Port, take a passenger ferry from Yeosu Passenger Terminal (about 1 hour 40 minutes). Alternatively, drive to Nangdo ferry dock and then move by fishing boat. It takes about 50 minutes by car from Yeosu Expo Station to Nangdo ferry dock, and with a fishing boat reservation, it takes around 10 minutes from Nangdo ferry dock to Chudo.
[풍산식당] 풍산식당의 서대회는 일반 음식점에서 느낄 수 없는 깊은 맛을 자랑하며 특별한 맛으로 손님을 모시고 있다. 외지에서도 손님이 많이 찾고 있는 곳이다. [삼학집] 여수시 중앙동 해양공원 입구에 자리한 삼학집은 서대회로 유명한 여수의 대표적인 맛 집이다. 강산이 여섯 번이나 바뀌고 남았을 60여 년이 넘는 시간 동안 오로지 한 우물만 판 덕에 삼학집은 여수뿐 아니라 전국에서 알아주는 맛 집이 되었다.
