Waemok Village
Chungcheongnam-do(Dangjin-si)

Surrounded by water on two sides, Waemok Village's terrain looks like a heron's neck, hence the name 'Waemok' (waegari means a gray heron and mok means neck). Because of its long and narrow geographical characteristics and the topographic division of the sea into the west and east regions, one can enjoy the beautiful sunrise, sunset and moonrise here.Around 100,000 people visit Waemok Village for the festival every year. While viewing the sunrise from the East Sea has a more dynamic atmosphere, the sunrise from Waemok Village has a more sentimental quality to it.
