Jindo

In the park, there are trails and various rest facilities, so many family visitors visit. It is known as a place where the surrounding natural scenery is beautiful and local residents can comfortably walk and heal.

The stylobate and one-story pagoda body appear to follow the style of the three-story stone pagoda in Eunseon-ri, Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do, and it is interpreted that the Baekje style has spread to this place. It is said that there has been a temple called Haewolsa Temple since the Goryeo Dynasty, so the stone pagoda is also presumed to have been built around that time.

One of Jindo's most famous natural phenomena, this approximately 2.8-km-long and up to 40-meter-wide land bridge emerges from the sea during the year's lowest tides, connecting the village of Hoedong-ri with Modo Island. Often compared to the Biblical parting of the Red Sea, this remarkable tidal event is steeped in local legend. According to folklore, an elderly woman named Grandmother Ppong was left behind when her village fled from tigers to Modo Island. She prayed to the Sea Dragon King, who created a rainbow path through the waters for her reunion with her family. The phenomenon typically occurs during the second and sixth months of the lunar calendar. During the Mysterious Sea Road Festival, thousands of visitors walk across the exposed seabed, collecting shellfish and experiencing this natural wonder. The area around Gagye Beach offers excellent viewing points and access to the sea road when it appears.

It is about 255 meters above sea level. Although it is a relatively low mountain, the historical and cultural significance of the Jindo area is deep, and the surrounding natural scenery is beautiful. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see the Jindo area and the sea at a glance, and the scenery that blends with the West Sea is particularly attractive.

It is 485 meters tall. It is the highest rocky mountain in Jindo Island. There is a fortress that is believed to have been built during the Baekje period and the remains of Bongsudae that was installed during the Joseon Dynasty. At the bottom of the mountain are Unlim Sanbang (Jeonnam Monument 51) and Ssanggyesa Temple (Jeonnam Tangible Cultural Heritage 121) and the area around Ssanggyesa Temple and Unlim Sanbang is surrounded by evergreen forests (Natural Monument 107), which are designated as natural monuments.

It is 457 meters high, and the top forms a rocky area that is difficult to climb, but the intelligent lines on both sides of the top are soft mountains. Starting from the Toprip bus stop and riding a rocky ridge to the top, you can see Heeyeosan Mountain, Buyongsan Mountain and Dadohae National Park at a cool glance. It takes 2 hours and 30 minutes to get down to the Toprip Tourist Farm after passing through the small Yeogisan Mountain.

Geumgol Mountain is 193 m above sea level and is called Geumgang ＂ in ＂, and it is said that there are three caves on the mountain made of strange rock cliffs, a five-story stone pagoda (treasure) and a seated statue (Jeonnam Cultural Heritage Data) are engraved in the cave in the middle of the mountain, and there was a temple called Haeonsa Temple.

Located on Cheomchalsan Mountain in Jindo-gun, this temple, which was founded by Doseon State Temple during the Silla Dynasty, was named Ssanggyesa Temple because the valley flows on both sides of the temple.

Located at the southwest end of Namsan Mountain, it is famous for the spiritual prayer of the Buddha.

Between the coastal village of Heodong-ri and the islet of Mo-do, southeast of Jin-do, some of the world's largest tides occur. During a few days in the spring (in the second month of the lunar calendar), a causeway appears, nearly 3 km long and up to 40 m wide. This natural phenomenon (translated as the Mysterious, Magical, Miracle or Mystic Sea Road or Sea Way) brings tourists interested in both the Christian parallel of the Moses Miracle, and the ancient Korean legend of Grandma Ppong, left behind when her people fled a tiger-infested Jindo for Modo, and reunited with them via this rainbow-shaped land bridge. Tourists can experience many traditional folk dances, cultural activities and dogs shows during the Mystic Sea Road Festivals. Expect to see thousands of visitors for this very limited time experience. If you plan to go to this event, it would be wise to arrive the night before, as transportation logistics to the island and then to the event from other locations in Korea can be quite challenging.

Starting from Shimi Port, it returns to Shimi Port by surrounding Jugwangdo Island (Saja Island), Blood Island called 'Hole Island', Yangdeokdo Island (toe Island), Jujido Island (Finger Island), Buldo Island with a sea cave and a thousand-year-old Buddha Tower, and the sea in front of Sebang Nakjo, which is famous for the most beautiful sunset on the Korean Peninsula.

Jindo offers several rewarding hiking experiences across its mountainous terrain. Cheomchalsan Mountain (485 m), the island's highest peak, provides the most challenging climb with spectacular panoramic views of the archipelago, the mainland, and the surrounding seas from its rocky summit. The trail passes historic sites including Baekje-era fortress ruins and Joseon Dynasty beacon towers. Dongseok Mountain (255 m) offers a gentler climb suitable for families, with excellent sunset viewing opportunities over the West Sea. Yeogwisan Mountain (457 m) features a rocky summit area and takes approximately 2.5 hours for a complete loop starting from Toprip bus stop. Most trails are well-marked but can be steep and rocky in sections, so proper hiking footwear is essential. Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) provide the most comfortable hiking conditions with clear visibility and moderate temperatures. Many trails lead through forests designated as natural monuments, offering opportunities to observe native flora and fauna.
