Halleyo Maritime National Park was designated as a National Park in 1968. It is
composed of parts of the southern coast and Namhaedo Island and Geojaedo Island
of the sourthern coast. Hallyeo Maritime National Park is famous for Odongdo
island, which is covered with camellias and subtropical plants, and incredibly
beautiful sunrises and sunsets on Haegeumgang of Geojaedo, Bijindo Island –
famous for its native plant the ‘Palsonyi Tree’. Hansan Island is especially
important because this is the grounds where General Lee Sun-Shin won the
Imjinwaeran (War by Japan’s invasion of Korea in 1592).
Hallyeo Maritime
National Park is well known for the beautiful sea, islands and seashores. Since
there are many sites to visit, many visitors come in summer on vacation, and
others return in spring or autumn on excursion trips. Among these sites, Geojae
Haegeumgang river and Oedo Island Marine Tourism Farm, also called the paradise
of Korea, are the most popular visiting courses.
