Gyeongnam Namhae 'Jijok Village' ... Selected as a Safe Fishing Village Travel Destination in May

Jukbangnyeom Experience and Clam Digging

Praised as a Family-Friendly Destination

Samdong-myeon Jijok Village, where visitors can experience traditional fishing and enjoy a unique experience, has been selected as the "Travel Destination of the Month for May" by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.

The Jijok Fishing Village Experience Resort is famous for the primitive fishing method called "Jukbangnyeom," which uses the fast currents of seawater to catch anchovies.

Jijok Village in Samdong-myeon, Namhae-gun has been selected as the "Travel Destination of the Month for May" by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.

Designated as a National Important Fishing Heritage, Jukbangnyeom involves installing V-shaped bamboo traps in the Jijok Strait to catch fish. It holds high value as an ecological fishery.

The National Important Fishing Heritage has been designated and managed by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries since 2015 to preserve unique tangible and intangible fishing assets formed over a long period. At the Jijok Fishing Village Tourism Complex, visitors can learn in detail about the history and fishing process of Jukbangnyeom and also participate in hands-on experiences.

In Jijok Village, visitors can enjoy not only the Jukbangnyeom experience but also clam digging and boat fishing, which are highly popular among family travelers.

After enjoying various activities, visitors can taste Jukbangnyeom anchovy sashimi, and take a leisurely walk along the Jijok Strait promenade, one of the four scenic spots of Namhae, where the sunset and the red Changsungyo Bridge create a magnificent view.

Lee Joo-won, head of the Jijok Village Fishing Cooperative, said, “We hope families spend meaningful time in May, the month of family, enjoying traditional fishing and various experience programs in Jijok Village.”
