Trip to the 안면도/Anmyeondo beach!

Located 30km away from Taean, Anmyeondo Island is the sixth biggest island in Korea where a bridge constructed in 1970 (extending 200m) connects the island with Taean-gun. The peninsula connected with Nammyeon, was isolated during the Joseon Dynasty by cutting off access between Changgi-ri in Anmyeon-eup and Shinon-ri in Nammyeon for the convenience of tax transportation. The island's coast is lined with some 14 beaches as well as abundant pine trees which are symbols of Anmyeon-eup. The island also owns Anmyeondo Natural Forest forests such as the Mogamju Forest.

Visit Dokdo and Ulleung-Do Islands in the East Sea

Ulleungdo is a pentagon-shaped island located 92km away from Dokdo Islet.
The island was made from a series of volcanic eruptions. Its highest peak is called Seonginbong Peak, and there is a village along the coastline on the slope. On the north side is a caldera crater which collapsed to create the Nari Basin and the Albong Basin.
Level ground is difficult to find here and the shores are mostly cliffs. There are a lot of snow in the winter. About half of the people work in the fishing industry. Corn, potatoes, wheat and beans were cultivated here, but nowadays mountain plants and medicinal herbs are mostly grown instead.
There are dongbaek trees and some 650 other plants and trees thriving on the island. The neighboring waters is the junction line between two cold & warm ocean currents, where many squids, saury and pollacks are caught. The Ulleungdo squid is especially famous for their outstanding quality. It has been said that there are no thieves, pollution or snakes on Ulleungdo Island. On the other hand, there are many aromatic trees, wind, beautiful women, water and rocks. This is why it is called the island of The Three Mu (The Chinese character meaning ' have nothing') and Five Da (The Chinese character meaning 'have many of').

A Trip with WSK to Dokdo Museum

Dokdo Museum was founded on the 50th anniversary of Korea's Independence with the help from Ulleng-gun,which has provided the lot and Samsung foundation of Culture,which has actually built the building from museum.And the first Curator,the late Lee Jong-Hak(1927-2002),who has collected many materials from the inside and outside of Korea.And it was opened as the only territorial museum in Korea on August 8th,1997 with the help from the late Hong Sun-Chil(The Leader of Volunter guard)and some groups such as the volunter quard of Dokdo and the Green Ulleong-do Club.

The museum was built in the image of Sambongo(three rocks)and that means it was actually built in the image of Dokdo.itself.It has a 3-stoty-building on the first floor(The permanent Exhibition Hall 1,2) and Special Exhibition Hall) and one more field on hte Second floor(The permanent Hall 3,Media Rooms for Natural Ecology,and Lobby to view Dokdo).

In the first exhibition hall,there are Korean,Japanese and Russian old records and documents to clear up the fact that Dokdo belong to Korea.At present Japan insists to prove that Dokdo belongs to Korea.




"The permanent Exhibition Hall 1"

The theme of the second exhibition hall is to clear up the Japan's fictitious insistence of the theory of Occupation and Sea Japan.The basis on the Japanese insistence is that Dokdo has no traces of ownership by any country and that the island was not inhabited in 1905. Japan acquired by means of occupation.So Japan is provided with all the requisites for intenational laws for the possession of the island and Japan should legally posses Dokdo.Moreover Japan has tried to name the East Sea as the sea of Japan.

"The permanent Exhibition Hall 2"

In the third exhibition hall there are photos and pictures about the volunter guard of Dokdo and the green Ulleung-Do-Dokdo Club.

This hall also displays materials revealing the Japanese reckless remarks on Dokdo and the Korean reactions and management on the Japan's thoughtless words,including the Japanese documents.Also,there are 7 kinds of whaling vessel's logbook by American who have discovered and recorded about Dokdo.
The documents in the third exhibition hall are about the volunter guard of Dokdo.The guard consisted of non-official civilians and kept the island from the Japanese encroachment upon the territory for over three years from 1953~1956
