Yeongrang Kim Yunsik was born here on January 16, 1903, as the eldest son among five children of Kim Jongho. He was called Chaejun in his childhood but changed his name to Yunsik, and Yeongrang is his pen name, which he mainly used in literary activities. Until his death on September 29, 1950, Yeongrang released about 80 beautiful poems, of which around 60 were written during the time he lived here, refusing name changes and shrine worship before liberation. After Yeongrang moved to Seoul in 1948, the birthplace changed hands several times, but Gangjin-gun purchased and has managed it since 1985. The main house, partially altered, was restored to its original form in 1992, and the gatehouse, which had been demolished, was rebuilt in 1993 based on the family's verification. The birthplace preserves the well, camellia trees, jangdokdae (earthenware jars stand), persimmon trees, and is planted with many peonies that served as poetic subjects.

Jujaksan (475m above sea level), located in Sinjeon-myeon, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do, is a popular sightseeing spot loved for its unique and beautiful natural scenery despite being a relatively low mountain. At the summit, there is a sharp and majestic rocky peak, and the ridgeline is smooth and gentle like a horse's back, offering a distinctive experience for hikers. From Jujaksan, visitors can enjoy a wide-open view of the Dadohae (Sea of Many Islands), and it is especially known as a famous sunrise spot. The sun rising between the islands of Dadohae offers an unforgettable spectacle. Opened on July 1, 2007, Jujaksan Natural Recreation Forest allows visitors to fully experience the nature of Jujaksan. It covers a large area of 1,686,694㎡ and offers various recreational facilities and ecological experience programs. Along with modern facilities such as forest houses, campgrounds, and walking trails, the forest preserves its natural ecological environment, making it an ideal rest area for families and nature lovers. Walking along the recreation forest trails, visitors can enjoy the fragrance of the forest blended with diverse trees and wildflowers, and the dark green meadows surrounding the rocky peak add visual pleasure. Additionally, this place serves as a base to experience both the culture and nature of the Gangjin area, suitable not only for hikers but also for those seeking leisurely relaxation. Visiting in combination with nearby tourist spots such as Gangjin Bay and Dasan Chodang will make the trip even more diverse.
