From the executive port, where the waterway is located, run north along National Highway 7 for about 7.3 km, and after passing the Sinnam Port where Haesindang Park is located, you will come across the quiet and cozy port of Galnam Port.
Galnam Village is a small fishing village, but it was once one of the wealthiest villages in the neighborhood for pollock fishing and seaweed harvesting, and it was also a pioneer of seafood farming on the East Sea coast in the 1970s. Thanks to the abundance of seafood, numerous tidal rocks, and clear waters, the number of tourists visiting the area from far and wide has been increasing in recent years.
One of the most popular spots among snorkeling enthusiasts these days is Galnam Port in Samcheok. The secluded countryside of Galnam Port is less crowded than other snorkeling spots, and is praised for its cute tidal rocks and clean water.
Village-run rentals include picnic tables, umbrellas, snorkeling equipment, goggles, life jackets, tubes, and transparent canoes with a view of the water. A great area to play with children is the water close to the beach. Inside, the currents are weak and the water is shallow, making it a great place for children to swim and snorkel.

It is a beach in Yangyang, Gangwon-do. It is located along National Highway 7 between Ingu Beach and Gaetmaeul Beach.

Sea urchins are known to live among the beach reefs, and you can also collect sea shellfish. The water is shallow, so it's great for children to play in the water.

Unhyeongung, designated as Historic Site No. 257 of the City of Seoul, is located in Uni-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. This palace used to be a Jamjeo (a temporary place for the soon-to-be monarch to stay before taking the throne) of Gojong, 26th King of Joseon Dynasty, and was the house of Heungseon Daewongun. Unhyeongung retains its historical importance as a base for Heungseon Daewongun's political activities during the modern Korean era.
Here, Heungseongun, Lee Haeung played the role of de facto ruler and reformed the political system into a royal regime. Even after resigning from the political position of regent, he persisted in engaging in political influences here.
On December 9, 1863 when Heongseongun was promoted to Daewongun and his wife from the Min family received the title of Budaebuin, this private residence was given the name Unhyeongung.
A folk song told that Unhyeongung, where King Gojong lived until he turned 12, and which was a Gwansanggam site during King Cheoljong, had the feng-shui energy to create a king. After King Gojong came to power, Daewongun expanded Unhyeongung again. The name, Unhyeon originated from an uphill path located in front of Seoungwan, whose name was changed to Gwansanggam in the era of King Sejo. The name remained as a special name for that. That is, Ungwan, coming from Seoungwan and Unhyeon, the name of the uphill path in front of Ungwan, were used literally for this spot.

The old church building constructed in 1949 was demolished, and a new building was built in 2014. The new Gahoe-dong Catholic Church is remarkably characterized by the juxtaposition of traditional hanok and modern architecture. The two different styles were not made into a melange, but juxtaposed so that people can feel the different charms at the same time.
The building expresses a Korean gentleman wearing hanbok putting his arms around a blue-eyed foreign priest. The low-built hanok, giving Korean traditional vibes to the area that was losing such atmosphere, and the western-style church behind it catch the eyes of passers-by. While the construction project was planned on a large lot of 3,300 square meters, the project divided up construction into three buildings matching the atmosphere of the neighborhood. Natural materials were mainly used and stained glass was used minimally to enhance the charm of hanok architecture.
The hanok building was built using Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora) by a master carpenter of intangible cultural heritage to create high-quality results. As it is a religious building, you can find various religious elements inside. The miracle of five loaves of bread and two fish is engraved on the tiles of the roof. Such small details make us imagine the time when the priest who majored in architecture and the architect in charge of design shared their opinions to settle on the design of the buildings.

Baek In-je House is a museum and cultural heritage site located in Bukchon Hanok Village's Gahoe-dong neighborhood. The house was built during the Japanese colonial era and it is a well-preserved example of modern hanok. The hanok was built on an elevated plot of land and there are incredible views of Bukchon Hanok Village from the house. Though built in a traditional style, there are many modern architectural touches. In traditional hanok, the sarangchae (men's quarters) and anchae (women's quarters), are built separate from each other. Baek In-je House has a sarangchae and anchae that are connected. There is also a spacious garden. The hanok is one of the largest remaining hanok in the city, and because of its unique history, the hanok was designated a Citizens' Cultural Heritage site and converted into a museum.
※ Baek In-je (1898 - Unknown): Baek In-je was a Korean patriot who fought for Korean independence during the Japanese colonial era. Baek was also a doctor who devoted much of his time to studying rickets and blood disorders. He made great contributions to the body of research on these medical issues.

Inwangsan is a mountain with a height of 338 m, located in Jongno-gu and Hongje-dong, Seodaemun-gu, central areas of Seoul in Korea. The name literally means "mountain of generous king" in Korean. The mountain has many huge granite peaks which distinguish it from other mountains in Seoul. Each rock is named after its characteristic form, such as train rock (기차바위), skirt rock (치마바위), dew rock (이슬바위), hat rock (모자바위), and worm rock (지렁이바위). Inwangsan is famous for its view, so many painters depicted the mountain in their works such as Jeong seon's Inwang jesaekdo.
