Daejanggyeongpan (the Tripitaka Koreana) is stored inside the four wooden buildings of Janggyeongpanjeon located within the Haeinsa Temple in Gyeongsangnam-do Province. Daejanggyeongpan is the world’s oldest Buddhist canon, and has been designated as the 32nd national treasure of Korea. It is also known as Palman Daejanggyeong (Eighty Thousand Tripitaka), because a total of 84,000 Buddhist scriptures are engraved on some 80,000 wooden printing blocks. The complete collection was made over the period of 16 years starting in 1237 (24th year of King Gojong’s reign) to appeal for spiritual help in overcoming the national crisis of the Mongolian invasions. Janggyeongpanjeon which houses the Tripitaka Koreana was listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage in 1995.

Jijok Strait flows between Jijok Village in the towns of Samdong-myeon and Changseon-myeon. Fishing on Jijok Strait is done by using traditional bamboo weirs called jukbangnyeom. Along the tidal flats where the water is deep and the current is fast, some 300 oak-wood beams as high as 10 meters are driven into the sea bed with bamboo screens to form V-shaped traps. The fish caught in the incoming tide get trapped in the narrow “V” end, which are then retrieved with a scoop net. The seafood products from this area are known for their exceptional quality because the surrounding waters are clean. The anchovies and seaweed caught from Jijok Strait are among the most highly sought-after in Korea. Changseondaegyo Bridge (440m) links Changseondo Island to the city of Sacheon. Following its collapse in 1992, the bridge underwent repairs and reopened in December, 1995. Fishing from this bridge will yield a catch big enough to feed the whole family. Along with Jukbangryeom, Amsubawi Rock in Gacheon Village is also regarded as one of Namhae’s valuable cultural assets.

Hwagae Market, which appears as the setting in Kim Dongri's novel, "Yeokma" (meaning "Stagecoach"), has a beneficial location on the border of Yeongho-nam and Gyeongsangnam-do, allowing it to easy access to seafood and salt from the southern coast, grains from the plains of Honam, wild vegetables and herbs from the foot of Jirisan Mountain and its lumber trading center. You could count the number of markets of that scale in Korea on one hand.

Dumo Village is a terraced paddy field with a developing slope, and given its location along the coast, functions as a farming village and a fishing village. The field, which spans over about 20,000 pyeong, is full of flowers like canola in the spring and buckwheat in the fall. Starting from the entrance of the village, a stair-like canola field stretches out 2 km into the distance. Tourists can rest up in the village while walking through the flowery field that captures the fragrance of the ocean. The blossoming season for canola occurs in April when a month-long festival is held, which offers various activities like camping and water sports.


Gyeongsangnam-do(Sacheon-si)

Jeodo Island derives its name from the abundance of paper mulberry (a fiber crop largely used for papermaking) growing on the island. The Sino-Korean character "楮" (jeo) refers to paper mulberry, while "島" (do) refers to island. The native Korean word for paper mulberry is “daknamu”. Hence, the island is also called Dakseom. Hanji, a Korean handcrafter paper, is made from the inner back of paper mulberry. On Jeodo Island, one can get a glimpse of what daily life in a small fishing village is like. The island can also be seen just behind the bamboo weirs from Siran Dock. The view is a combination of a lighthouse, fishing site, lush meadows, and lodgings with the ocean in the background. * Area: 38,216㎡
