Former Dangsado Lighthouse in Soan-myeon, Wando

The Former Dangsado Lighthouse in Soan-myeon, Wando is significant not only as a lighthouse built in the modern era, but also as the historic site where, in 1909, residents of Soan Island and righteous army volunteers (civilian militia who resisted Japanese forces) rose up against Japanese exploitation. This uprising also became the starting point for the anti-Japanese resistance movement that subsequently spread to neighbouring areas, including Soan and Sinji islands, giving the site high value as registered national cultural heritage documenting the history of anti-Japanese independence activity.
