Manggeumsan Ganggangsullae Site | 景点信息 | K-Travel Mate

Manggeumsan is a low mountain with an elevation of 115m overlooking Uldolmok, the site of the Battle of Myeongnyang where 13 Korean ships defeated over 300 Japanese vessels. During the battle, General Yi Sun-sin built earthen fortifications on this mountain and gathered local women, disguising them as men to repeatedly circle the mountain peak in a way that made the enemy think there were many soldiers. This folk game, performed mainly on Chuseok night to pray for a good harvest, was used as a military tactic. The peak still has a signal site (Mangteo), and below it, the Ganggangsullae site remains clearly visible. Many legends related to the Ganggangsullae dance that honor Admiral Yi Sun-sin's tactics have been passed down. Manggeumsan Ganggangsullae Site is located on West Sea Road Trail Course 6, a 2-minute drive and 1.7 km from Useuyeong National Tourist Site, and can be visited together with the Uldolmok Skywalk.
