Visitors can sequentially experience Haenam Usuyeong Ganggangsullae, designated as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage and Important Intangible Cultural Property No. 8, Jeollanam-do Intangible Cultural Property No. 20 Usuyeong Women's Nongyo, and Usuyeong Dulsori, which won the Presidential Award at last year's Korean Folk Arts Festival.

The performances are demonstrated by local residents who inherit the folk games, and they take place in front of Seongmun Square starting at 2 p.m.

Haenam Usuyeong Tourist Site is located at Uldolmok, a strait about 1 km between Haenam-gun and Jindo-gun, known as the victorious site of the Battle of Myeongnyang, where Admiral Yi Sun-sin defeated 133 Japanese ships with only 13 vessels during the Jeongyu War.

Since April, free admission has been available, allowing visitors to experience the Myeongnyang Great Victory Battle History Memorial Exhibition Hall within the tourist site and the skywalk that lets you walk over the rough sea of Uldolmok.

Additionally, the Myeongnyang Marine Cable Car, which connects the Uldolmok sea, operates, offering a special experience to view the scenery of Uldolmok, famous for its whirlpool sea.
