Yongsu Port and the story of Kim Dae-geon’s landing

Yongsu Port is a small harbor in Yongsu-ri, Hangyeong-myeon, with bangsatap stone towers on both sides and village coastal scenery. Official tourism information also describes it as the place where Father Kim Dae-geon came ashore after encountering a storm on his return home in 1845.

Explore fishing-harbor scenery, maritime history and village stories toward Jeolbuam. A view toward Chagwido does not establish that sightseeing boats depart from Yongsu Port.

Explore the harbor alongside its historical interpretation

Consider a short visit to view the sea and bangsatap from permitted areas on land and read the on-site history. Choose your next village stop, such as Jeolbuam, after checking actual pedestrian connections and access boundaries.

Read about Yongsu Port’s bangsatap and the historic landing before deciding whether to continue toward Jeolbuam. Plan sightseeing about old village stories separately from an actual boat trip.

A family visit to observe stone towers and a fishing harbor

With children, look for bangsatap shapes and moored boats. Do not climb stone towers or move stones, and keep clear of fishing work areas and residents’ routes.

Reading the stone-tower and historical-site information boards together helps explain the significance of sea routes. Do not climb harbor facilities or protected stone structures for souvenir photos.

From Yongsu-ri toward Gosan and Chagwido views

Distinguish Yongsu Port in Hangyeong-myeon from Jagunae Port in Gosan on your map. If you booked a Chagwido sightseeing boat, travel to the product’s actual boarding point and allow separate time beyond your Yongsu visit.

After Yongsu Port, consider Suwolbong Geo Trail or Sinchang Windmill Coastal Road. Rather than fitting them all into one visit, choose one to start with according to your direction of travel and your companions' energy, and check the actual transport connections.
