“海金剛がすべてだと思ってた？”...巨済で学ぶ歴史 | 旅行コース | K-Travel Mate

Geoje-do Prisoner of War Camp Historical Park was established on the site of the Geoje-do POW camp, which was installed to house North Korean and Chinese prisoners of war captured during the Korean War. It accommodated up to 173,000 war prisoners and operated as the largest POW camp during the Korean War. Despite the tragedy of war, it was a paradoxical stage where efforts were made to uphold humanity according to the Geneva Convention. Within the park is the remaining POW camp site, designated as Gyeongsangnam-do Cultural Property No. 99 in 1983. The park uses various collections, records, and video materials to develop exhibitions and educational content, making it a living educational site on war history and a mecca of dark tourism.

Hakdong Black Pearl Pebble Beach covers an area of 30,000㎡, with a length of 1.2 km and a width of 50 m, located in the southern part of Geoje Island. The clear and clean water of the South Sea causes waves that roll the pebbles, creating a beautiful sizzling sound, which was selected as one of Korea's 100 natural sounds. Unlike other beaches on the South Sea, the water depth here is deep, and the waves are rough, requiring some caution, but the beach is well equipped for marine leisure activities such as banana boating. Additionally, from the pier located within Hakdong Black Pearl Pebble Beach, tourists can take a cruise to Haegumgang, known as the Diamond of the Sea, and Oedo, adorned with various exotic tropical forests. It is a must-visit spot for tourists coming to Geoje Island, even if not for swimming. In spring and autumn, visitors to Haenyeohaesang National Park, including Haegumgang, come by sea, and in summer, vacationers gather from all over the country.
