An island with a beautiful sunset, Ganghwa Island

Ganghwado is the fourth largest island in Korea. Located on the estuary of the Han River, it is a historic and beautiful island bordering Gimpo City in Gyeonggi Province to the east. The name Ganghwa also comes from the meaning of 'the beautiful village under the river.' I will introduce video clips of trips to various tourist attractions in Ganghwa through YouTube.

○ Hanok(traditional Korean houses), Dosol Museum & Gyodong Island
Ganghwa Island has many cultural and artistic spaces. The representative hanok  Dosol art museum is a beautiful art museum where visitors can appreciate the beauty of hanok as well as the art works.
Gyodong Island is a DMZ zone, so it was not accessible to the public until recently. Therefore, you can see buildings in the 1970s and 1980s and bring back memories of the past. In Daeryong Market, there is a famous tea house where you can drink the traditional style of Ssanghwa tea, and it tasted as good as its reputation.

○ Sound Experience Museum(Sorichehum Bakmulgwan)
The Sound Experience Museum is also one of Ganghwa's cultural spaces. It is not just a place to show the development of sound devices, but a place where the audience can experience sound directly through the performance of various instruments and sound devices. It was very interesting and fun to deal with instruments and devices that produced the sounds of nature.

○ Jeondeungsa(Temple)
One of the oldest Buddhist temples in Korea, Jeondeungsa is a representative Ganghwa tourist attraction. I went to Jeondeungsa by bicycle from Kimpo Choji Bridge. I got in the wrong way in the middle of the way, but the lady kindly showed me the way. Thank you. The slope was so steep that I was suffocating. I recommend  Jeondeungsa, a temple with beautiful scenery.

○ Old factory gallery, art of installing waste products: Joyang Bangjik
Opened in 1933, Joyang Bangjik is South Korea's first textile factory made with Korean capital and a historic site where the modern textile industry began. At that time, Korea was ruled by Japan.
After the 1960s, when nylon became popular, Joyang Bangjik quickly declined. The building, which had been abandoned, was opened as a cafe and gallery. The structure of the old factory building remained intact, and the abandoned items were turned into huge artworks. The charm of a noble space and a slightly odd space staying between the past and the present. It's a must-visit cultural space.

○ Bo Moon-sa
Seokmo is also an island close to Ganghwado Island. It used to be possible to go only by boat, but now we can be there through Seokmo Bridge by car. Bomunsa Temple in Seokmodo Island is one of Korea's three major Gwaneumyeong-sa Temple. It is a famous temple because praying at the cave of the eyebrow rock above the temple is said to be a good place to have children. It is also a very special temple where you can see a huge lying Buddha statue, Wabul and 500 nahans.

○ Donggeomdo & Janghwa-ri sunset view.
Donggeom Island is also a small island near Ganghwado Island. There are DRFA 365 art theater and reed with a good view.
We took out tables and chairs and ate raw fish, using the trunk door as shade.
Korea's west coast has many places to see the sunset, and Janghwa-ri sunset view is a famous place. When we arrived, the weather was nice, so we could see the sunset at the open observatory.

It is a cozy and friendly place of travel in the West Sea of Korea, a place where historical places and cultural and artistic spaces mingle with time.
Thank you for your watching and I hope you enjoy it. See you again.
