Gageodo Island Seomdeungbando Island, Sinan

Gageodo Island holds geopolitical significance as the south-westernmost point of Korea's territory, and a history of use as a midway port for trade with China dating from the Unified Silla period; its natural and historical-cultural resources — vegetation, topography, shell mounds, and anchovy-fishing songs — are well preserved. Seomdeungbando Island forms an outstanding landscape of sea cliffs unfolding like a folding screen against a backdrop of pristine, untouched scenery, and it has a special sense of place as a focal point for viewing the sunset. In its sunset scenery, the island's mountain ridge of gradually descending peaks, together with the strangely shaped rock formations and sea cliffs along the coast, creates an outstanding topographical landscape that sets it apart from other regions.
