Eocheongdo Island (어청도)
Eocheongdo Island is a small island with a rich variety of sources for unique discoveries. Located about 70㎞ west of Gunsan (an international trading port in Korea's Jeollakbuk-do Province), Eocheongdo Island is a strategic stopover port for vessels plying the West Sea between the southern coast of Korea and Seoul's main port of Incheon. With its perfectly shaped harbor and historic lighthouse that stands as the western most light for vessels in this area, the island offers good protection from high seas and storms during the long journey. Located about 300㎞ east of mainland China, Eocheongdo Island is also an important stopover site for migratory birds between the two land masses. The island, in this sense, has become an esoteric place for bird watchers from all over the world to spot numerous species that inhabit the island.
