Jeodoyeonneukgyo Bridge (Jeodo Island Land Connecting Bridge) is a popular spot to watch the beautiful sunrise and sunset. Optical cable lighting fixtures designed in the shape of the black-tailed gull create diverse scenery at nighttime depending on the time and season. Built in 1987, the bridge connecting Gubok-ri and Jeodo Island is 182m in length and 15.5m in height. Rocks found on both ends of the bridge extend outward toward the sea, and one can cross the bridge while enjoying the beautiful backdrop of the deep blue sea. It is also called “The Bridge on the River Kwai” because it reminds people of the 1957 Hollywood movie of the same name.

The 898ha Junam Reservoir (Wetlands), called a “paradise for migratory birds,” receives about 109 different species of migratory birds every year. While it is a sanctuary for tens of thousands of migratory birds flocking to the area every year, it is also a habitat for a wide range of aquatic plants and insects, and it’s the one and only place where you can observe migratory birds flying freely. In 1980, 50,000 spectacled teals began spending the winters here, and 16 migratory birds that have been designated as natural monuments and 10 endangered species designated by the Ministry of Environment can be seen here. As such, one could say that this is a natural, open-air museum.
