Yeonpyeongdo Island is a small island resided by fishing communities. Despite the tragic incident of November 2010 shelling from North Korea, this bucolic island offers many natural and cultural attractions. Island History The earliest known history of Socheongdo Island comes from Chungmin-sa Temple, which was built to commemorate the island's once abundant but now extinct fish species called Yellow corbina (Sciaenidae). This fish was related to the family of fish commonly called drums, croakers, or hardheads for the repetitive throbbing or drumming sounds they make. When the economy flourished thanks to profitable fishing, the Socheongdo port was congested with fishing boats, so much that it was said that one could cross from one island to the next by walking over boats. The species of fish is depleted, and the island remains as quiet with views of North Korea. In November 2010, Socheongdo Island was hit by the fatal shelling from North Korea that killed two civilians and two soldiers. In recent months, the island has made an attempt to recover its tourism industry and to develop security tourism by blending its newer military presence at tourist attractions.

Huhuam Temple can be found next to National Highway No. 7 in Gwangjin-ri, Hyeonnam-myeon, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do after Namae Harbor. The temple building was built only 10 years ago and behind the temple, there is a wide flat rock resembling a turtle peeking out of the ocean. In addition, there is a rock which is naturally shaped similar to Buddha. The location makes it seem as if the turtle-shaped rock is bowing down to Buddha. Also, on top of the cliff on the upper right side of this Buddha statue there are two big rocks, called “Jungbawi.” These rocks are shaped like monks carrying a moktak (wooden percussion instrument used for chanting by Buddhist clergy) and bowing to the statue, adding an even more amazing atmosphere to the temple area.

The Curator’s Secret Garage: Discovering the Miniature Worlds of "Gallery GT" (Where a Renowned Artist’s Passion for Rare Cars Comes to Life) Incheon, South Korea — Within the colossal industrial grandeur of the Incheon Sangsang Platform, there exists a hidden universe that operates on a much smaller, yet infinitely more detailed scale. Welcome to Gallery GT, a sanctuary for the collector, the dreamer, and the artist. While the venue impresses with its size, the true magic lies in its details. This is not merely a shop; it is the physical manifestation of a 20-year obsession with automotive beauty, curated by a true master of the arts. The Story: From Sculptor to Collector The soul of Gallery GT is its founder, a renowned fine artist celebrated in the Korean art world for his powerful and dynamic sculptures of Oxen (So). For over two decades, while chiseling life into stone and metal, he nurtured a parallel passion: collecting rare automobiles.

A Treasury of Rarity: Die-Cast Models & Vintage Classics For enthusiasts in the know, Gallery GT is already a pilgrimage site.

From precision-engineered die-cast models to rare figures, the shop specializes in scarce items that tell the history of the automobile. • Old & Vintage: The curator’s eye favors the classics. You will find a stunning array of vintage mini-cars and "Old Car" models that evoke a sense of nostalgia and timeless elegance. It is a place where you can hold a piece of automotive history in the palm of your hand. Where Sculpture Meets Mechanics What makes Gallery GT truly unique is the juxtaposition of art forms. Amidst the sleek lines of the model cars, you will find the artist’s original Ox sculptures on display and available for purchase.

This combination transforms the space from a simple retail shop into a complex cultural gallery, offering a visual feast that appeals to both art lovers and car aficionados.
